Sophie Monk: “My Idiot Ex Did NOT Leave Me For Paris Hilton!” World: “Suuure…”

Sophie Monk has broken her silence (what happened to the whole “this will be the only statement we’ll be making on the break-up” schtick, eh?) now that the public has learned her former fiancee Benji Madden is currently running around town with Paris Hilton, and has insisted the well-ridden socialite was not the reason for the couple’s break up.

The former member of all-girl outfit Bardot, who is from Brisbane, said the media had got it “all wrong” with speculation over her break-up with the tattoo-laden Madden, lead guitarist with international chart-toppers Good Charlotte.

“Let me make this as plain as possible, Benji did not leave me for Paris Hilton. Benji and I did not break up badly or anything like that,” she said.

“We both decided as adults our relationship had run its course and decided to move on.”

And then, three hours later and totally free of guilt, he decided Paris Hilton was the one.

To be fair to Sophie, we’d be choosing denial over accepting the fact Paris Hilton was the preferred choice of ladyfriend of a man who is clearly, clearly punching above his weight when it comes to landing paramours.

Monk added that despite her relationship bust-up, her acting career in the US had gone into “overdrive”.

There’s that denial again…
