Sturgeon appeared at a writers’ event in Listowel, County Kerry, in conversation with author Andrew O’Hagan to promote her memoir, Frankly.<\/p>\n
She told the audience it had been the “worst week of her life,” adding she had dealt with the fallout from Murrell’s plea in the public gaze.<\/p>\n
Sturgeon said: “Just as other people have been, I have been deceived.<\/p>\n
“I have been misled, I have been lied to and I have been betrayed, and I won’t be the last woman who has been betrayed by her husband.<\/p>\n
“The circumstances might be unusual and difficult.”<\/p>\n
She added that she would “probably need to sit with a therapist”, saying that “this is a long-winded way of saying I am not OK”.<\/p>\n
She said: “I will be OK, I am a strong resilient person, I have had to be over the last few years, but this is a tough thing to come to terms (with).<\/p>\n
“And it would be a tough thing to come to terms with for anyone who is dealing with this entirely privately, but I am not, I am having to deal with it in the full glare of publicity. So yes, it will be a process.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sturgeon appeared at a writers’ event in Listowel, County Kerry, in conversation with author Andrew O’Hagan to promote…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":608940,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-608939","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=608939"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/608939\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/608940"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=608939"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=608939"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=608939"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
