The Ukrainian refugee, who was recently dumped by her British boyfriend and later arrested by the police for repeatedly kicking on his door and shouting vehemently, is now calling him a liar who treated her like a dogsbody.
22-year-old Sofiia Karkadym moved into Tony and Lorna Garnett’s house in May 2022, and within two weeks, she was having an affair with the father of two.
The Bradford resident cheated on his partner of ten years, Lorna, with Sofiia and abandoned his family.
Sofiia was taken in by the Yorkshire couple after Tony signed up for the government’s rehoming scheme. However, according to The Mirror reports, he became impatient and reached out on social media to speed up the process.
It started with Tony becoming Sofiia’s sponsor and her moving into their house. And just a week later, he decided to leave his wife and two kids to start a new life with Sofiia.
Garnett shares two daughters with Lorna, one six years old and the other only three.
In May 2022, after noticing Tony’s inclination toward Sofiia, his partner, Lorna, asked the Ukrainian girl to leave them alone and move out of their house, but to her surprise, her husband Tony also decided to leave with her.
In July 2022, Tony, who used to work as a security guard, told Daily Mail that he intended to marry Sofiia and even planned to start a new family with her.
“I want to propose to this beautiful lady,” he said.
“I am also planning to consult my doctors to reverse the vasectomy I had after having two children with my previous partner Lorna.” He added.
Two months later, in September 2022, the Bradford resident claimed that he had kicked Sofiia out of his house for her alcohol addiction and meddling issues.
“He has broken up with Sofiia and thrown her out of their rented home after accusing her of not being able to handle alcohol, using a knife to damage a wall, and interfering with his relationship with his two daughters,” per Daily Mail.
On Saturday, when Tony asked Sofiia to leave his house immediately, the 22-year-old Ukrainian lost her calm and threw a fit; she became aggressive and started kicking his front door along with screaming.
So, 30-year-old Garnett decided to call the police and got her arrested.
The footage received by Daily Mail showed that the IT manager from Ukraine kept shouting, “Tony, I love you. Please come with me,” as two police officers escorted her away.
“After being taken away for questioning, Sofiia was freed without charge.”
“I have decided that I don’t want to be in a relationship with her anymore,” Tony told the news outlet.
Yesterday, the jilted Ukrainian girl spoke to The Sun and opened up about her post-breakup feelings.
“I really loved him and thought we’d spend the rest of our lives together and have children, but he changed. I think the pressure got to him,” said Sofiia.
“Even his own mum stopped speaking to him over what he did to Lorna. He knew when he threw me out that I had no money, nowhere to go, no other friends in this country.”
“It will be a long and hard journey for me now, but I will rebuild my life, and when I do, I will be glad he is no longer a part of it,” she added.
“I’m heartbroken; I really believed his bulls**t. He’s a liar. He started making moves on me when I’d only been living with him and Lorna for two days.”
The IT manager further said that it was Tony who initiated their relationship and made the first move.
“It was all him; he started everything. I didn’t split him and Lorna up, that was over long before I arrived.”
According to The Sun, “She also accused Tony of treating her like a dogsbody, adding that he gambled his money away – losing £500 in one day while playing an online casino game.”
Meanwhile, Tony’s ex, Lorna, told the news outlet that she saw it all coming and she’d never take him back.
“I wouldn’t have him back in a million years. I knew it would end in disaster for them — I just didn’t think it would come after only four months.”
“He has thrown away so much. He can’t see me because of a restraining order, and he hasn’t been seeing the children. But it’s hard to feel any sympathy,” said Lorna.
