David McIntosh fires back at ex over cheating, drug-taking allegations

Kelly Brook’s heartbroken ex-fiancee David Mcintosh has broken his silence about the couple’s shocking split, insisting he wasn’t unfaithful to the pin-up. The model and actress announced she had ended her engagement to the British TV hunk on Friday (25Sep14), amid reports McIntosh had cheated on her with his ex.
Brook offered up no explanation for the split and now her ex has offered up his first comments on the end of his romance, which began on New Year’s Eve (31Dec13) when he met Brook at a party.
He says, “I did not cheat on Kelly.”
And the recent Big Brother contestant admitted he is “deeply upset” by tabloid stories linking him to his former lover, Sarah Harper.
In an open letter, the 28 year old hit back at charges he and Harper hooked up behind Brook’s back and took drugs together.
Insisting he still loves Brook, he writes, “I am not angry, I am just deeply upset by the story that was published in The Sun newspaper and other media outlets today. I rarely address inaccurate press stories but believe I must speak up about the hurtful allegations today…
“I became friends with Sarah Harper seven years ago but only properly began spending time with her after going through a very traumatic break-up with my son’s mother.
“As well as the stress of the break-up, I had finished working out at sea on stressful, and sometimes dangerous, anti-piracy operations and was drawn to Sarah’s happy-go-lucky party spirit. I viewed Sarah as a friend but that was all she was… a friend, nothing more!
“Before I began dating Kelly, I can confirm that Sarah and I did go on a handful of nights out together but it was NOT on a regular basis as was made out in today’s article… Our so-called ‘closeness’ lasted for about four months, after which her constant partying and (self-admitting) drug use grew very tiring. Sarah was clearly addicted to drugs – however I was not, and am not, a drug user.”
He adds, “Sarah often asked me to pose for silly pictures when I was drunk and, in today’s article in The Sun, there is a picture of me purportedly ‘posing’ over what appears to be white powder on a table. I did not take any drugs on the night that picture was taken and am very disappointed that Sarah has lied. I merely (and in hindsight, very stupidly) posed for a ‘fun’ picture at Sarah’s request. I was clearly intoxicated with alcohol in the picture and acted naively.
“‘When I began dating Kelly, out of respect to Kelly, I decided it was time to finally cut all contact with Sarah. Unfortunately, she didn’t respond well to this and blackmailed me, threatening to go to the press with the drug photo (as published in The Sun today) which she forwarded to me with an unkindly message. It shocked me, I was so afraid of her threats that I pandered to her and continued to stay friends with her purely out of fear.
“I’m far from a weak man but I was worried the photo would ruin my career and, more importantly, my relationship with Kelly. Being blackmailed is a horrendous experience and I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone, especially when it concerns something you’re against. Seeing as I remained friendly with Sarah, I presumed she wouldn’t act upon her blackmail threat, but I was very mistaken. It’s clear now that over the past 9 months she has plotted, schemed and waited to put it out into the media.
“I’m incredibly hurt and sickened by Sarah’s false accusations and believe she has done this out of jealousy and spite because she knows that, 1) I’m not interested in her romantically and 2) I only love and want Kelly. I did not cheat on Kelly what so ever! Kelly is my World and, other than my son, she’s the only person I’ve ever truly cared about in my life.
“I’m absolutely devastated that Sarah’s lies have caused Kelly to end our engagement but am even more deeply upset that the woman I thought loved me and was literally my life my would not stand by me.”
McIntosh proposed to Brook after an eight-week courtship in March (14).
