Singer Anne-Marie has reflected on the “hardest year of our lives” after her husband Slowthai was found not guilty of raping two women at a house party after one of his concerts. In an Instagram post on Monday, the singer, 33, whose full name is Anne-Marie Nicholson, posted a picture with Seven, the child born earlier this year that she shares with the 30-year-old rapper.
She said in the post: “2024, the most beautiful yet hardest year of our lives. “God really (trying to) see how strong I am hahaha. “I miss you all and I love you all more than you’ll ever know. I have so much for you in the new year that you’ll probably be sick of me, please don’t be, have the best break if you can and see you soon.”.
Slowthai – whose real name is Tyron Frampton – burst into tears after the trial at Oxford Crown Court on Monday, December 16. During the trial, the jury returned the not guilty verdict following more than ten hours of deliberation after a two-week trial, during which it was alleged the two defendants assaulted two women in the early hours of September 8, 2021.
His co-accused, Alex Blake Walker, 27, was also found not guilty of three joint charges of rape and an additional charge of sexual assault against the second complainant. Relatives and friends of the accused, including Anne-Marie, sighed in relief as the verdicts were read out, and cheered loudly outside the courtroom.
