Imran Khan dismisses rumours that Jemima is out to 'smear' Reham

Imran Khan seems to be fighting battles on every front these days — and his love life is no exception.

The PTI Chairman Imran Khan took to Twitter today to dismiss rumours that his ex-wife Jemima is running a smear campaign against his current wife, Reham Khan.

Earlier, The Daily Mail had run a story citing an anonymous source, who said that Jemima is behind the negative stories that have recently been appearing in the media, such as the story about Reham's suspect educational degrees.

"We know what Jemima is doing," claimed the source, allegedly a cousin. "We know that she is behind this smear campaign. She doesn't want Imran's marriage to succeed because she is jealous."

The source continued: "Jemima can't get her own man, that's why she doesn't want Imran's marriage to succeed."

Even though Imran and Jemima divorced in 2004 after being married for nine years, Jemima continued to tweet her support for his political career and reportedly supported Imran's early 2015 marriage to Reham.

A few weeks ago, Reham's ex-husband Ijaz Rehman had spoken to The Daily Mail and alleged that Reham had falsely claimed to have been a victim of domestic violence. He told the paper Reham had used him “like toilet paper to clean up her image.”

This was a few days after Imran Khan's announcement that Reham wouldn't attend PTI events in the future.

He said he was "appalled & disgusted by attacks on Reham" after a PTI candidate faced defeat at the hands of PML-N leader Babar Nawaz in Haripur, and also stressed that if Reham had ever attended PTI events in the past, it was only at the insistence of PTI workers.

Whatever the case may be, there's no denying it — there have been an awful lot of rumours circulating about Reham... but we have our doubts about Jemima's role in the mudslinging!
