Mum Sarah Bryan who sent other mother £325 playdate bill for daughter’s scuffed shoes dressed up as paedo footballer Adam Johnson’s VICTIM for sick Halloween costume
A MUM who clashed with Piers Morgan over her daughter’s £325 shoes dressed as the victim of paedo footballer Adam Johnson for a sick Halloween costume.
Sarah Bryan, who sent another mother an invoice when her daughter’s boots were scuffed during a playdate, tweeted a picture of herself dressed as a schoolgirl carrying a football.
Referring to convicted paedo and ex-England player Johnson, she wrote: “Guess who I am. clue I am 15 and my sugar daddy is in jail. sorry @staceyflounders #adamjohnson.”
Disgraced former Sunderland player Johnson, 29, was jailed for six years last March after being found guilty of grooming and sexual activity with a 15-year-old schoolgirl.
The offensive tweet was even sent directly to Johnson’s ex Stacey Flounders.
Fashion designer Bryan earlier revealed she suffered a panic attack seconds after coming off air following her appearance on Good Morning Britain today.
Bryan, who was branded “the worst kind of parent” by Piers for billing another mother £325 after her daughter returned from a playdate with damaged shoes, was overcome with anxiety in her dressing room as producers apologised for the presenter’s comments.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online, she blasted: “I was so angry [when the interview ended] that I had a panic attack in the dressing room.
“Producers and people were apologising for what had happened.
“Piers is a vicious bully who is trying to be controversial – but as far as I am concerned he has no balls.”
After having her parenting skills questioned by Piers, Sarah insisted: “My daughter can do anything she wants and be anything she wants – as long as she’s happy, then I’m happy.”
During the interview, she began to sob after revealing how the cruel online taunts she’d received online brought back painful memories of being abused as a child.
But Piers dismissed her story and said: “What does that have to do with this?”
Fighting back the tears again, Sarah added: “No one gave a f*** I was abused.”
During the heated exchange on Good Morning Britain, she broke down as Piers grilled her in front of co-host Susanna Reid.
Earlier Sarah had asked the presenter: “If you sent your child somewhere to be looked after by a responsible parent and they came back with scratches on their body…”
Before she could finish, Piers interrupted and said: “But you’re not a responsible parent.”
Sarah raged back: “That is awful. You have no idea about me or my past or my life. My daughter is healthy, happy and is up to date on everything.”
But Piers added: “You’re the worst kind.”
The controversial host continued: “There will not be a mother or father watching this interview who is not looking at you thinking: ‘What on earth are you doing buying a three-year-old girl 60 pairs of shoes?’”
As the row continued, Sarah added: “I’ve had so much abuse (on social media), you don’t even understand.
“You have absolutely no idea. This is nothing to do with my parenting and it is not fair.
“You know when I was younger I got abused and everything? And this is over a pair of shoes.”
As Piers asked what that had to do with their conversation, Sarah said: “It has everything to do with the cyber-bullying and people having a go constantly.”
Susanna Reid tried to diffuse the situation but Piers later to apologise.
The Sun previously revealed how Sarah invoiced the friend and ordered her to pay up after her daughter’s £325 red leather boots were marked with pen during a playdate.
The fashion designer, who created dress made out of Skittles and even once made a frock from pubic hair, immediately fired off an angry email to Nicola Gibbs, 33, and told her to pay for a new pair or face further action.
Single mum-of-two Sarah, 28, fumed: “If your child comes back with scratches on their body, you’d be like, ‘What’s happened?’
“It’s the same with her shoes. She’s not supposed to go outside with them.
“Wherever she goes, she goes with a bag of other shoes.
“Obviously shoes get scuffed on the soles, but these look like they’ve been worn for a year, not for a few hours.
“There’s also a big black mark on the toe where they’ve been drawn on. I was devastated when I saw them.”
Sarah, who also has a 13-year-old son Keegan, says her daughter has about 60 pairs of shoes and only wears designer labels.
She even ships in clothes from a specialist Spanish boutique.
In her email to mum-of-three Nicola she wrote: “I am disgusted to see her new Italian leather shoes are all scuffed and have a Sharpie (pen) mark on them so below is the bill for these replacing (sic). As a designer you can imagine I do not want my child to look anything less than pristine.”
The designer, from Wakefield, West Yorks, defended her email after Wednesday’s playdate with Nicola’s three-year-old daughter Stacey.
Sarah, who recently got her FCUK tattoo covered up with one of a woman’s face melting, added: “A lot of other people just get their kids’ clothes from Primark. I don’t mind handing a few pounds to them for their dresses.
“But Isabella’s are usually Spanish boutique stuff. She’s actually a model so I keep her in nice clothes and shoes all the time.
“These boots are important for her modelling work because they match her outfits.
“Nicola was in charge and she was looking after my child, so she’s responsible for the damage.”
It’s a similar row to the one between Derek Walsh and another parent at his five-year-old son’s school, who tried to fine the dad £15 after his lad missed a birthday party.
But a bemused Nicola has refused to pay a penny towards the damage and branded Sarah’s bill “a pile of nonsense”.
Nicola, from Normanton, West Yorks, said: “I don’t know what her problem is to be honest.
“She must have more money than sense if she’s going to pay that much for a pair of shoes for her daughter and then complain when they get ruined.
“Kids are kids, they get messy, they ruin things, that’s life.
“She needs to get over it because no amount of bills she sends me will make me pay for the shoes.
“I’d advise her next time to send her daughter out in wellies or if she wants to dress something up try Toys ‘R’ Us.”
