Disgraced James Argent breaks social media silence after attack on ex Nicoline Artursson as he shares grinning snap
DISGRACED James Argent grinned as he broke his social media silence after attacking ex girlfriend Nicoline Artursson.
It was just days ago that former Towie star James, 37, was slapped with a restraining order and suspended jail term for attacking the model, 32, in Spain.
He pushed the stunning Miss Sweden down some steps during a violent row before fleeing the scene.
And, less than a week after his misdemeanour, James was back singing at London’s Connaught Rooms on Friday for a knife crime charity’s boxing event.
The TV star was seen smiling and posing with guests at the bash – despite putting Nicoline in hospital with his actions.
Taking to his Instagram Stories this evening, he posed with an attendee, writing: “It was an honour to perform for @thewickerscharie raising over £100,000.
“So proud of@brogangarritsmith.for all her hard work #antiknifecrime.”
In an accompanying video, James is seen singing to Rick Astley‘s Never Gonna Give You Up – with a packed room of attendees dancing along.
Friends who knew him and Nicoline from when they were dating told The Sun: “James should be ashamed of himself.
“He is acting like nothing happened and seems to be trying to brush over this. What he did was serious.
“People who knew them as a couple were so shocked by what had happened but now to see James smiling and playing up to the cameras.
“It feels shameless.”
James was arrested over the incident in Nicoline’s La Cala de Mijas flat on bank holiday Monday.
He admitted domestic violence and, along with his six-month suspended sentence and two-year restraining order, he was told to attend a rehabilitation course on gender violence.
