Robbie Williams has recently expressed his feelings towards his former manager, Nigel Martin-Smith, in a heartfelt letter. In this open letter, Robbie addresses Nigel's comments about his past struggles with addiction, which were brought up in a new BBC documentary about boybands. It's clear that there has been tension between the two for quite some time, as they have publicly clashed in the past during their time working together in the popular boyband, Take That.
In the new documentary, both Robbie and Nigel discuss the darker side of being in a boyband. However, Nigel's comments seem to have rubbed Robbie the wrong way. In a surprisingly polite message on Instagram, Robbie starts off by wishing Nigel well and expressing his deep admiration for his work. However, he then goes on to address Nigel's version of events, stating that in today's society, denying someone's personal experiences is referred to as "gaslighting."
Robbie then goes on to explain that during their time working together, he was experiencing his first mental breakdown, and Nigel's approach to managing him was not the most effective. Instead of offering support and understanding, Nigel blamed Robbie and the band for his "bad behavior." Robbie makes it clear that he does not appreciate his trauma being dismissed or used as a tool for public sympathy.
Although he was initially excited to share the screen with Nigel again, Robbie feels that he was misrepresented in the documentary. He mentions that time has allowed him to reflect and grow, but it seems like Nigel may not have done the same. Robbie quotes Nigel's words from the documentary, where he refers to himself as an "evil t**t" and takes full responsibility for Robbie's behavior. Robbie sets the record straight, stating that his drug use was not Nigel's fault, and he takes full responsibility for his own actions.
Robbie also sheds light on the common pattern of young performers in boybands struggling after becoming famous. He acknowledges that some are able to overcome their experiences, while others never fully recover. He also mentions the mental health issues faced by other members of Take That, such as suicidal thoughts, eating disorders, and addiction.
In a final message to Nigel, Robbie urges him to own up to his mistakes and understand the psychological impact of their experiences. He ends the letter by wishing him well and asking fans to treat Nigel with respect and care. It's clear that Robbie has come a long way and has found peace within himself, but it's also evident that there is still some unresolved tension between him and his former manager.
