For the most part, Z has handled herself well, while Freddy has been nothing but whiny, entitled and confrontational (he recently bashed Lululemon because they don't sponsor Bodyrock, apparently), but dang I feel I know too much about their impending divorce than I need to know.
Z just posted on her blog about her entire marriage to Freddie and how he exploited her. Of course, we all knew that already, but apparently he forced her hand to post something because he posted that she had physically and mentally abused him. So she called him a bully and told her side of the story.

Yes, I am well-aware of that. Freddy has since posted an additional post that continues to paint himself as the victim. If I didn't already have little respect for him, I think it is pretty much gone at this point. I don't see his brand lasting much longer.

I took him off my friend list after I read his nauseating post. So tacky to continue his dribble. He really is slime. Sounds harsh! But it's true. Look what he's done to Lisa in a short period of time. She doesn't even look the same. He must look for women with low self esteem issues to mold.

I don't follow Bodyrock, only Zuzana, so I wasn't aware he was bad-mouthing her until she posted last week. I feel so badly for Zuzana.

That's why it's easier to believe zusana. Besides she seems sweet.

So true. I remember some of the threads here about Body Rock when they first came around and all the heavy breathing and moaning turned a lot of VFers off. When Z left and the heavy breathing, moaning and graphic T&A shots continued it wasn't too hard to figure out who was really behind all of it.

He is probably jealous of the success that she has had without him. She is reaching people now on DVD that she never would have if she only continued her online workouts.

He strikes me as a classic control freak. I just browsed those posts, but find it highly ironic that he included a pic of Nigella Lawson being choked by her husband. Didn't that guy also cry the media a river about how he was actually the victim in that situation?? Ugh.

I'm sure neither one of them is perfectly innocent--people behave badly when their marriage is disintegrating. But he walked out with the business and certainly seems to be the party continuing to push the hypersexualized marketing angle, so I'm very disinclined to believe what he has to say.

Just stick to singing your praises.
