In the wake of chef Gordon Ramsay’s treatment of Tracy Grimshaw last week, the Aussie woman who claims to be his former lover tells Katherine Chatfield that he has a problem with women.
Despite Tracy Grimshaw “unreservedly” accepting Gordon Ramsay‘s apology on A Current Affair last week after his foul-mouthed tirade against her, Gordon’s alleged ex, Julie Vidovic, has a message for Tracy – and any other women he comes into contact with: “He’ll do it again,” she tells Woman’s Day.
When Julie first heard of Gordon’s obscene comments about Tracy, she says she wasn’t surprised in the least.
“It was in keeping with his manner,” says Julie, 42, who says she had an affair with Gordon for six months last year. “I truly believe he has no respect for women. He has an obsession with referring to women as farm animals, and as pigs. When we were together there were a few things I found distasteful [about his behaviour], that were denigrating to women.”
That certainly seemed to be the case last week when footage was broadcast on A Current Affair of Gordon referring to a Channel Nine make-up artist’s “fat a***,” making a rude comment about Livinia Nixon’s weather reporting and making suggestive remarks about “rubbing olive oil on nipples” to a visibly disgusted Elise Mooney while she interviewed him for the show.
That, says Julie, was bold proof of Gordon’s attitude to women. “When we were together, he’d make off-the-cuff comments, demeaning other women about their weight or looks. No man who respects women refers to them like that.”
