But it is too easy, surely, to say that if someone is in the public eye then they should just develop a thick skin. That's the excuse that tabloids and those gossip rags use to hang sh*t on people. (I'm not talking about Cillian specifically, here). Very easy to be spiteful and mean about someone, then claim their fair game 'cause they have a public profile. Some of that stuff is still gonna hurt.

I certainly didn't mean it that way. I think it's wrong but it doesn't make it any less a reality, and I don't know a way to prevent it from happening completely.
I think if a tabloid is making up crap about you and making money out of it you can sue them. At least, I heard about celebrities suing them (don't really know about the outcome).
I was thinking more about regular people; he can't control it if someone doesn't like him or is crazy (not restraining order-crazy, that is) or just plain mean and immature.
I'm not saying he shouldn't feel hurt ( like anyone else would), but being more exposed than most of us, he is bound to come across more negative responses. He should build some kind of barrier, or defense system to keep that stuff at a certain distance.
It was just a thought, really. No way to know for sure unless we're out there being a "celebrity".

If someone wants to cheat they'll do so. However I look at things with the perpective of a woman in a serious relationship.
1. I find it hard to believe that any directer making a major film whose content is top secert would let girlfriends on the set.
2. Who took the photos and for what purpose?
3. Could this be Cillian's stunt double?
4. Since being in the public eye, Cillian Murphy has yet to be publically affectionate with his family. His wife walks behind him scowling at the world and unlike Colin Farrell who has been photographed playing with his son, Cillian carries Malachi like another bag of apples.
5. A 33 year old man + 2 does not date a 23 year old. They have nothing in common. The mere fact that she publicizes photos of a very private man proves her immaturity.
6. If you were in a relationship with someone in the business who hates publicity would you not stop and ponder if these pictures would harm your relationship?
7. Cillian and Sila have a 10 year difference between them. He left for London when she was a mere child. How close can they possibly be considering that they live in a different country and Sile has been busy traveling the world and getting her degree? Do you really believe thay he's dating Sile's friend?
8. How is it possible that not one of these photos has appeared in newspapers?
Some celebs sue the tabloids and sometimes they win but they ignite the flames over and over instead of extinguishing them. Cillian Murphy is not a celeb, at least not yet, and I don't think he really cares about what's written about him. As they say all publicity is good publicity. Whatever keeps you in the public's eye, helps you get a job. Just look at Sienna. She's bound for Broadway.

Much as it's happened that I've disagreed with Seabreeze on certain things in other threads, I will say that I think the below are all good and valid points:

I think the whole thing sounds extremely fishy. And fake photographs are created all the time by people on the internet. It's easily done through the right kind of software. Plus Aimee (in reference to what you were just saying in the other thread), didn't this girl say to you initially she wouldn't add anybody on Facebook she didn't personally know? Now suddenly she's changing her mind? Strikes me as being pretty odd, even for someone who might just be a family friend and nothing more.

Anyways as said before, I'm taking none of this seriously - or anything like it I might hear/come across in future - unless something official is announced at any point.

Hello All, I am the Natasha that you are all talking about here. I have been checking this forum off and on for about 1 week now, after I got a message on facebook as to what was going on and being said. Then I log in awhile ago and see all of this! I was reading the other thread and Aimee's comments on my pictures on facebook. Well rest assured I have removed her from my friends list and I certainly hope she does NOT post any of my pictures on this forum. The reason I added her on facebook is because I had many conversations with her via messaging. But after seeing this, well I had no choice but to remove her.

As far as all of you not believing that Cillian is not with his wife anymore, well he isn't. They remain very good friends. And yes, he knows what I am saying, he is right here beside, chin in his hand, drinking a coffee and watching everything I'm typing. Enough with the rumors people. Please. It has to stop.

Yes, his wife was at the Flat Lake Festival with him, as were his children and sisters. Like I said, they remain good friends. As far as the "he's private" stuff, yes he is (he told me to say that), but he also wants to set the record straight when there are lies and rumors involved. He knows you all aren't going to go out and tell tabloids and so on. He respects this forum and all the lovely things you say about him. He's just recently been reading the forum in the past hour and a half.

And also, no, he did not auction off his underwear! He was approached about it but gratefully declined. So that part of the story is false.

I have privately contacted Aimee via Facebook and asked her NOT to distribute any photos that she may have gotten from my Facebook account. Those are personal pics that only friends on Facebook can see. I have since watermarked them. So the answer to the million dollar question is yes, we are dating, yes we have been for a few months, that's about all I can tell you. You want to ask me any questions, then feel free to message me via this forum. If you choose not to believe, that's fine, but please don't add gas to the fire by starting more rumors. I get so many crazy messages on facebook so, it's insanity. Cillian's sister is also getting a lot of unnecessary messages from random people asking her stuff about me and her brother. No need.

Sorry this is so long, it's first thing in the morn here in Ireland and my mind is fresh Cillian says "Play nice ladies". Ha ha. Anyways, thanks for reading and understanding (or not). Let's please, just let this die

Ciao

Natasha

Of all the screamingly funny things I have read on this fan forum, 'Cillian knows you won't tell the tabloids' wins hands down. Tasha, honey, your fifteen minutes were up longer than a week ago. Also, the fan fiction board is further down, see you there?

[Seabreeze]

Tash whatever you've been taking , we want some.

[betablue]

Natasha, might we ask for proof that he's actually there? Nothing lurid, I promise. Something very simple:

The last time she saw him in person (in western Iowa, in May 2008), a longtime friend of mine gave Cillian a packet of five CDs. If he would be kind enough to name even one of the CDs in that package (my friend has good if very eclectic taste in music, and she's brought him discs on several occasions), then I for one will think you're on the level.

You can PM me if you like.

[rukia888]

If you wanted 'privacy,' then you shouldn't have posted your 'personal' pictures on Facebook. There's no such thing as privacy on the Internet, honey.

I'll believe it when I see it. Anybody here on this forum could've posted the same as you. We can say whatever we like, and who's to say it's true or not?

[Seabreeze]

I know many of you dislike my comments but I'm going to make you love me. Can Natasha tell me where Cillian was on August 17th and what was he doing? I know the answer and I have the proof. Do you?

[Pisces]

I'm gonna do something really unusual here and let you all in on a little secret that I've been hiding... it concerns me and Cillian...

I don't know him.

I've never met him.

I'm not dating him.

I've never been within 1000 geographical miles of him.

(Takes bow) Thank you. I know it's not fashionable on this forum these days to admit such a thing... but I'm willing to stand out as different. Ha ha.

[Seabreeze]

We share the same secret.

[melons]

Hmm, it's never occurred to me that Cillian would be the type of person who'd ask his so-called "gf" to go online to set rumours straight. In fact, I don't even think he really CARED much about rumours.

Of course I don't know him personally, so I wouldn't know that for sure. Then again, maybe I DO know him personally, but I'll keep that a secret. Ahem.

I'm honestly not meaning this at all rudely Natasha. But from our point of view, how can we possibly know for certain that you're not just making all this up? All we have is your word for it. Plus for somebody who doesn't want any rumours going around you're sure seeming willing to share alot of personal info about Cillian with people whom you don't even know. Admittedly when I first got the pm you sent me on here a short while back, my thinking was a little different. But since, after having thought on this further (and especially after reading that post of yours in here), I'm now finding it very hard to believe that any of the stuff you've been saying is genuine. It's seeming to me as if you're alot more interested in bringing the subject of what's going on between Cillian and his wife/with his dating life up than the majority of us on here actually are. Most of us were previously happy - as far as I'm aware anyway - to drop this discussion altogether and forget about it- not counting the originator of this thread who ended up bringing this up in another just very recently. But the only reason (as far as I can fathom anyways) that others of us are even talking about this at all right now is just to make it clear that we think this whole thing has gotten pretty silly - not because we're interested in gossiping.

Anyhow, when it comes down to it, none of us have any way of knowing that you have been telling the truth. Or even that you really are who you say you are. Without any valid proof, it's an impossible thing and I'm afraid a post telling us that Cillian is there beside you, sipping a coffee and watching everything you type doesn't quite cut it. I could easily say that Tom Cruise is outside my house right now smoking a cigarette, happily waiting to take me out for the evening as I type this post out, as he's recently split with Katie Holmes (despite current evidence to the contrary) is single again and has made up his mind he finds me utterly irrestible. But would me typing that out here automatically make what I've said true?

I am afraid that I really can't take a word of what you've said there in that post seriously - at least not at this stage. Especially as my better judgement tells me that in all liklihood Cillian is far too busy a person to be spending much time (assuming he does ever spend any) browsing online fan sites such as this to begin with - whatever the reason for that might be. And while I'm not totally discounting the possibility I could be wrong about this - I'm feeling it extremely likely that what you've said here has to be part of some kind of hoax.

OMG, the thread that wouldn't die!

Seriously, we need to put this thing out of its misery.

[emma286]

Agreed. It's a pity there's no mods/admin keeping an eye on the place at the mo, or one of them could've deleted this.
