The story revolves around a Ukrainian woman who was living with a UK sponsor and his family after fleeing the war in her country but ended up having a relationship with the sponsor, causing a rift in his marriage.
Sofiia Karkadym, 22, denied being labeled a ‘homewrecker’ despite developing a romantic connection with Tony Garnett, 29, her UK sponsor, and subsequently leaving his wife Lorna. Mr. Garnett expressed his love for Sofiia and his desire to spend the rest of his life with her.
Miss Karkadym maintained that she is not responsible for the breakdown of the Garnetts’ marriage. She claimed that Lorna’s suspicions and tension in the household pushed her and Tony closer together, suggesting that Lorna was at fault for creating the situation.
On the other hand, Lorna Garnett, the jilted mother, expressed her heartbreak after her husband decided to leave her for their Ukrainian guest. She accused Sofiia of intentionally pursuing Tony from the start and causing devastation in her life.
The situation escalated when Lorna and Sofiia had an explosive confrontation, leading to Sofiia feeling that she couldn’t live in the same house. This prompted Tony and Sofiia to move in with his parents, and they are now considering finding their own place.
The entire saga, which saw a 10-year relationship end in just 10 days, left Tony feeling regretful and apologetic towards Lorna.
The story is a somber reflection of what started as a gesture of help and support, but ended in a tumultuous and heartbreaking ordeal for everyone involved.
