YES - He is the victim.

No one really knows just WHAT Jason and Charlie's 'relationship' was really like, but from what we do know of their respective pasts and from what we are witnessing on BB - He is the victim.

By her OWN admissions, Charlie Doherty is an ex-stripper who claims that she "loves to be loved" but is a 'serial cheat' who has "been unfaithful in the majority of her past relationships".

By contrast, Jason is a relatively successful business owner and part-time actor and body double, who - despite being a powerfully built physically tough 'hard man' - is, by his own admission, "a softie" whom is regarded by those who know him as; "just a big marshmallow with a pet ****zu."

I believe Charlie to be a 'gold-digger' who - like all such women - has no qualms about 'trading' the only 'asset' which she possesses, her body (nothing to write home about there IMHO) for 'La Dolce Vita' -- courtesy of some gullible guy.

I believe that in Jason, she thought she had hit 'pay dirt' - a relatively well off, stable man who, because of his polite, soft-hearted, and submissive demeanour was malleable and 'putty in her hands'.

I further believe that having hit the 'mother lode' she was paranoid about losing it, and her self-admitted jealousy quickly caused the relationship to become toxic.

She admits that she did not "treat Jason nicely" and to being the reason for the breakdown of their relationship.

I recognise only too well that look of embarrassed sufferance and helplessness which poor Jason wears when hammy actress Charlie is bullying him with her - clearly fake - displays of weeping and wailing heartbreak because it is the same look I once wore.

I was in a very toxic relationship with a beautiful girl who DID love me totally but whose irrational insecurities eventually caused me to end the relationship.

Every time any woman - of any age - even looked at me, or if girls who were my long-standing friends that I had never had any type of intimate relationship with, stopped to say 'Hello', my girlfriend's face would drop and she would start the mother of all arguments.

How I squirmed with embarrassment - just like poor Jason.

It ended up that when I was out with my girlfriend and I spotted any female friends approaching, I would deliberately cross the street or pretend to look in shop windows to avoid any contact and the inevitable rows which followed.

So - yes - in my opinion, Jason is a victim and I will replicate here what I have posted on another thread:

"Charlie - Someone contact the Vatican - URGENTLY - we are all witnessing a true miracle; an hysterically weeping heartbroken woman but NO SIGN OF TEARS.

Poor Jason is too chivalrous and kind to deter her harrassment of him with the degree of nastiness and force which he AND she both know is necessary, and so this poor gentle man squirms with embarrassed acceptance while the hammy actress bullies him.

She is pathetic, and needs to retreat to a quiet corner of the house, adopt the 'Lotus' position and contemplate the words; Dignity and Self-Respect."
