All Saints Stars' Secret Abortion Revealed
26 Feb
Summary
- Melanie Blatt and Nicole Appleton were pregnant simultaneously.
- Appleton underwent an abortion without discussing it with Blatt.
- Robbie Williams' biopic dramatized his past relationship with Appleton.
Melanie Blatt revealed that her All Saints bandmate Nicole Appleton never discussed her abortion with her, despite them falling pregnant concurrently. Blatt, reflecting on the band's "difficult relationships," cited a lack of communication skills as a barrier to discussing such sensitive matters. The incident occurred in 1998, a peak period of the band's fame.
Appleton, then dating Robbie Williams, decided to have an abortion. Williams later described the event in his 2024 biopic "Better Man," admitting his poor behavior as a boyfriend during his addiction struggles contributed to the situation. He stated it was difficult to watch the dramatization of their past.
Nicole Appleton's 2002 autobiography "Together" also detailed the pregnancy and subsequent abortion, noting pressure from the record company. She recalled Williams' initial supportive reaction to her pregnancy. Williams expressed support for her decision to write about the experience, believing that confronting such deep-seated issues is healthier than keeping them secret.
