Olivia Attwood slams an ex-friend as a ‘blood-sucking tick’ who can’t keep a job or hold down a long-term friendship in furious online rant after revealing marital woes

by

Olivia Attwood publicly lashed out at a former friend, calling them a ‘blood-sucking’ tick and accusing them of being unable to maintain employment or lasting friendships.

On Saturday, the host of Bad Boyfriends, a 34-year-old, described someone she didn’t name as someone who always plays the victim, in a post on her TikTok account.

Olivia didn’t say who she was referring to, but she’s previously shared that she felt disappointed by a former friend.

In a recent social media post, she described someone who struggles to maintain relationships or hold down a job, often losing friends within a year or two.

They consistently portray themselves as blameless, always presenting themselves as the injured party. It’s a recurring pattern where they take on the role of a victim, and it keeps happening again and again.

It’s easy to spot a pattern with these kinds of people – you can see who they used before, understand your role in their cycle, and predict who they’ll target next. They don’t really make friends; they just find new people to take advantage of, like a tick looking for a new host.

For a tick to transmit disease, it must attach to your skin, feed on your blood, and remain attached for a period of time.

‘So once it leaves your body it’s going to go and host onto another body.’

Olivia hinted at a difficult experience, saying she’ll share details on a podcast when she’s ready. She believes those involved are seeking attention, and she wants to control the timing of when she reveals what happened.

Olivia also appreciated a fan comment that pointed out someone was trying to imitate her style, but it wasn’t working. The commenter explained that the look seemed forced on them, instead of feeling natural, and that it truly suited Olivia’s personality and felt classic. They compared the imitator’s attempt to fast fashion brands like Nasty Gal or PLT trying to replicate high-end designers like Versace or Chanel based on Pinterest inspiration.

Her clip comes after her friendship with stylist Ryan Kay deteriorated.

Sources say the couple has been struggling privately since she lost a close friend, and their relationship appears to have become strained and difficult.

It’s unclear what caused the rift between them, but they’ve stopped connecting with each other on social media.

Reports suggest Ryan supported Olivia’s husband, Bradley Dack, during the controversy over her close friendship with Pete Wicks.

He also still follows Bradley on Instagram.

According to a source familiar with the situation, Bradley has always disliked Ryan and didn’t trust his motives. Ryan and Bradley never had any direct communication with each other, only interacting through Olivia.

Meanwhile, a source told The Sun: ‘Things have turned really sour between Olivia and Ryan.

It’s heartbreaking because he’s been so important to her for a long time. It’s also a difficult situation for people who are friends with both of them, like Georgia.

Ryan has supported Liv through many important times, and he’s really disappointed he can’t be there with her as she continues her work on This Morning.

He’s really upset because she’s moved on so fast, and it feels like she’s abandoned him now that she’s become successful.

The Daily Mail contacted Olivia and Ryan for comment at the time.

Ryan has become good friends with several co-stars over the years, such as Georgia Harrison, Gemma Atkinson, and Molly Smith.

Earlier this year, he accompanied Grace Keeling, known as GK Barry, while she was on tour with her live podcast, providing styling services.

Olivia shared this video shortly after telling the Daily Mail that she and her athlete husband have been going through a difficult time for the past six months.

Olivia and Brad, friends for nearly ten years, got married in 2023 at the luxurious Bulgari Hotel in Knightsbridge.

Okay, so I was reading what Olivia said, and honestly, she *gets* it! She totally understands why her ex was bothered seeing those pictures from the summer – you know, the ones of her looking all cozy with Pete Wicks. She said it makes sense he’d be upset, and I just… I feel for her explaining herself, but it’s good she acknowledged his feelings, right? I’m just obsessed with knowing all the details, obviously.

Olivia confirmed that her relationship with Brad has its challenges, but they are still a couple. She also clarified that her connection with Pete is purely platonic – they’re just friends and coworkers.

She admitted that her relationship with Brad isn’t perfect. They’ve experienced many highs and lows, and the past six months have been particularly difficult.

Our work is the most important thing, both his and mine, and we’re constantly balancing that with our relationship.

Long-term relationships require consistent effort, and that’s just a reality of being an adult.

People often only share the good parts of their lives, especially on social media like Instagram. But we believe in being honest, and it’s important to admit that things aren’t always perfect.

Life has its challenges, and both of us have made mistakes. It’s tempting to present a perfect image, but everyone has flaws and imperfections if you look closely enough.
