You didn’t even know there was a Derick Hougaard cheating scandal, did you?

The former Blue Bulls and Springbok flyhalf hasn’t covered himself in glory recently, and the ugly social media row between Derick and the mother of his children, ex-wife Karlien van Jaarsveld, points to a man who might not be in a great place.

Fast forward to late last week, and pictures that show Derick at a bar with an unknown blonde woman, that then led to the image above.

The images were published by Huisgenoot, and then republished on Jacaranda FM, so let’s map out the sequence.

There are these two:

The third image is the image of the bed, showing Derick lying down and the mystery blonde in the bed, and what looks like a third person in the far right of the photo.

Here it is once more:

Jacaranda FM below:

The photos (allegedly taken by Nádine) that have been shared on social media show Derick and the same woman in a hotel room, in the same bed.

According to Huisgenoot, a source close to the singer said there was an altercation in the hotel room and that Nádine’s heart is broken.

As it would be.

Twist alert – did Derick actually do anything naughty in that hotel room? Let’s get the latest via Channel24:

Speaking to Rapport, the woman who was allegedly caught in a hotel room with Derick Hougaard by his girlfriend, Nádine, says that they never spent one second in bed together and that she only helped the intoxicated former rugby player safely to bed.

According to the woman, the only time she was in the hotel room with Derick was when she was looking for her car key, and that reports stating otherwise have been twisted…

The 26-year-old marketing assistant maintains that the hotel security suggested they book a hotel room, as Derick was inebriated and not in a state to drive.

Perhaps security should have helped Derick to bed, then? How about what appears to be some classic bed head in the case of the mystery blonde?

Enter Nadine’s spokesperson, Janis Ellis:

[He] said that the popular celebrity couple has patched up their broken relationship, and are in regular contact.

Janis said that Nádine did not find Dannel and Derick in bed together and that the pair did not sleep together…

Both Nádine and Derick have remained mum on the matter, and have not posted anything on social media following the scandal.

The original Huisgenoot article which first broke the news quotes Derick as saying that he did not cheat on Nádine, but he admits that he was heavily under the influence and couldn’t remember much.

Claiming innocence, whilst admitting that you were blottoed and don’t remember much, is a little counterintuitive.

Did he? Didn’t he? Do we care? Should we care?

Who knows to all of the above, but it does make for rather compelling viewing from a distance.
