A legal dispute has erupted involving Charles Spencer's new girlfriend, Cat Jarman, and Countess Karen Spencer. Cat Jarman has filed a lawsuit against Karen Spencer over the alleged misuse of private information. The conflict stems from revelations about Jarman's multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis and its subsequent online speculation, causing significant distress to Jarman and her family.
Karen Spencer, through an 11-page defense, claimed that the image of Charles Spencer and Cat Jarman was "a relevant and integral part of the picture." In her statement, she revealed details of Jarman's MS, which were reportedly volunteered by Mr. Jarman, who believed the diagnosis was pertinent to her behavior and alleged affair. These claims have been met with strong denial from Charles Spencer, who described them as "an absurd attempt to blacken my name."
The controversy gained further traction when Cat Jarman gave an interview to MailOnline in December, where she publicly spoke about her MS diagnosis. She stated that she felt it necessary to "bring an end to the harmful speculation and gossip which had been percolating online."
In recent developments, The Telegraph reported that Jarman and her children have experienced "significant distress" due to the ongoing speculation around the case. As a result, Jarman felt "compelled to publicly disclose the fact of her MS."
Meanwhile, Karen Spencer shared her personal updates on social media, informing followers about her relocation to a "temporary" new home. She wrote, "Well…at long last, three weeks ago, we finally moved into our temporary new home. Still waiting for the horses to arrive – hopefully next week! Doesn’t quite feel like home without them." She later posted pictures of her horses arriving at the new property, including a photograph of one named Jack, giving fans a glimpse of her sprawling grounds.
Charles Spencer's relationship with Karen ended over text message, according to allegations made by Karen herself. However, Charles has denied these claims.
