Last Night’s TV – The Bigamist Bride: My Five Husbands
Why, oh why, was this despicable women given airtime that I presume Channel 4 paid her for to boot? Emily Horne, convicted bigamist and duplicitous, deceitful liar, used this show to put across “her side” of what amounted to an Alice in Wonderland meets Brothers Grimm fairytale of deceit and compulsive lying.
But unlike any fairytale, this story involved real people being really conned, repeatedly. And really hurt in the process.
Having watched Horne lie and lie her way through this documentary – and also it seems her entire life, according to the evidence of those who know her best – I felt that what Emily needs is not a camera in her face, it’s a cell. A secure one at that.
Her constant attempts to turn her sordid tale into amateur theatrics were almost laughable. The long pauses to camera, the ‘heartfelt’ monologues, the blaming everyone else but herself, all amounted to letting us know exactly what Horne is; she’s a user and an abuser. And it was no surprise to hear that she’d been making porn; anything to get your face – and every other body part that she wields like a weapon – on camera eh?
She’s narcissistic, she’s greedy, she’s materialistic and there’s nothing to which she won’t stoop to get her own way. We heard last night how she’d accused various men of abusing her, raping her, forcing her into having an abortion, and if the woman had any credibility at all, all would of course be horrific incidents. But she doesn’t so I personally wouldn’t believe her if she told me today was Friday.
Everyone got the blame for her appalling behaviour, except, as I said, herself. It was her parents fault for splitting up, it was the many husbands fault for being so stupid as to let her con them, it was her bi-polar disorder… the list of blame laying went on and on, and like her lies, were legion and all in order to excuse herself. There is no excusing this woman.
I felt extremely sorry for her family and many of the men she’d duped because despite her vile behaviour, the majority of them seem to have truly loved her. And to a man – or woman – she took that genuine emotion and wrung it of any value it might have. She even told her current boyfriend that her father was dead, and unless Channel 4’s make-up department are exceptionally talented, his participation in this film would suggest that was yet another of Horne’s lies.
I hate women like her; women who make it that much harder for the rest of us. And yes, I know ‘hate’ is a strong word to use, but I’m referring especially to the allegation of rape. We all know how tough it is on women who’ve been raped to even get someone to believe them sometimes. And why? Because of women like Horne who will do anything, and say anything, to get what they want.
In Horne’s case, the majority of what it is that she wants – other than material things – is attention. She’s like a Münchausen Syndrome sufferer except I truly do not believe that she’s mentally ill, despite her protestations that she is. I honestly think she’s just bad. Some people are.
I just hope that her ’15 minutes of fame’ as a result of this film will be the last she has, and I hope she’ll finally get a sense of herself as others see her; a repugnant and unashamed consumer of people.

Whats Munchausen Syndrome…dont worry I`l google it.
Lets see if this goes through…it seems if you do more then
a few lines..it comes up to be modifield, then it just sits
here for days.
Hi Natalie… mmm, that’s odd. Maybe for some reason some comments are being picked up by our spamming software.
Anyway, Munchausen’s syndrome by proxy is when a parent makes their child ill in order to get attention for themselves. It’s in various forms but that’s probably the best known.
Hope that helps
Couldn’t agree more, in my opinion this Woman is absolutely horrendous.
I found this some of the most frustrating TV I’ve watched in a long time.. not the documentary itself which was well shot.. but her. Seldom have I seen someone who comes accross as such a self-richeous individual who cannot except blame for anything in her life, its always someone else’s fault. Fine she may not have any respect for what marriage means I can buy that. But to be so ignorant as to have no respect for what it may mean to the others she is marrying and then claim she loves them?!?! I came away with the impression she is a completely self-servient who’s only interest is her and the make believe bubble she has created to live in!
Oh yeah I googled it, and then remember seeing a film about
it a few years back.
Oh ok! cos I got quiet a few, as long as I know I`l take
no notice in future. just wont do long posts.
Ta..x
Pete Andres available Emily!
pmslllll!
This documentary is a brilliant demonstration of narcissistic perversion (as specialists call it). Well done, guys, you’ve caught one of them ! And by the only way those smart monsters can be caught – by their very own narcissism. Horne could not resist the temptation of tv exposure.
However, I bet she didn’t imagine that her falsified melodramatic claims would be put to the test and therefore exposed by her victims and kins, which revealed her very true colours by contradicting everything she said. Well done again.
The woman is sick from a bruised narcissism. The problem obviously dates back from her childhood, but I strongly doubt she just turned evil because her mother suddenly decided to accuse her divorcing husband of incestuous abuse on their daughter. The mum had certainly been deep into those kind of mischievious manipulation for a long time. The girl had a good teacher. Narcissistic perversion is inherited from devious behaviour, often through several generations of abusers.
(Sorry for the awkward writing – I’m French. But believe me, I know what I’m talking about. For I spent – wasted I should say – 16 years with a similar pervert.)
It’s as if Horne had to make every guy she meets pay for what her father suffered when he got divorced. She has to make all of them marry her so that she can then treat them all like shit.
Those love perverts are public enemies, working in private, destroying other people’s feelings and integrities. They’re often nice, smart, self-confident people in public. You would never guess how evil they can be in private. When dragged to courts they run free most of the time, thanks to their uncommon ability to lying and cheating. How can society protect itself from them ? This is still to be debated.
