MASON GREENWOOD AND GIRLFRIEND TO BECOME PARENTS
In January 2022, a clip of Mason Greenwood threatening to assault and rape his girlfriend, Harriet Robson, went viral. The incident reportedly took place in 2021.
Shortly thereafter, Mason was arrested and charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
He was also suspended from Manchester United and lost several lucrative endorsement deals.
While out on bail, Mason Greenwood was arrested again in October 2022 after reportedly contacting his accuser – Robson – again.
Fast forward to February 2022, and all charges against the Manchester United player are dropped. According to authorities, this was due to “the withdrawal of key witnesses.”
But in a bizarre turn of events, this week Mason and partner Harriet revealed that they are preparing to become first-time parents. According to reports, their baby is due in coming months.
According to The Sun, the young couple is “looking forward” to welcoming their baby.
RED CARD FROM MANCHESTER UNITED
While Mason Greenwood prepares to become a dad at the age of 21 years old, he’ll have to sit out another season at club Manchester United.
According to The Mirror, Greenwood remains suspended pending an internal investigation.
The club revealed that he is also not expected to feature again for the first team this season despite remaining under contract.
FOOTBALL FANS ARE OUTRAGED
Following the baby announcement and the questionable sequence of events, many football fans took to Twitter to react to Mason Greenwood’s latest news.
Many criticised the footballer himself.
@pythaginboots: “Someone made the most of their conjugal rights.”
@modap_: “If they are back together, it confirms that he was guilty of at least one of the accusations. Men have a red line. They never go back to false accusers.”
Others had harsh words for Harriet Robson.
@robinvanpolar: “Shame on everyone and, most of all, Harriet for all this drama.”
@MCFC__BH: “We don’t want to hear her complain about being abused in the future. She chose her destiny.”
@BobbyGoa: “Another domestic abuse victim that went back to her abuser and will release an interview ten years later telling us it’s not as easy as we think to walk away.”
And then there were those who sympathised with the couple’s unborn baby…
@TheMorrisLand: “Bringing a child into this toxicity. May God help it and them.”
@RFCGW: “Social services should be involved immediately. Neither the 2 of them can make rational decisions.”
