Are we really going to talk about Influencer dating convicted cop? Really?
An Auckland-based business owner and influencer has debuted a surprise relationship with disgraced ex-police officer Jamie Foster on social media.
Sera Cruickshank, who owns The Diamond Shop in Ponsonby, shared a video on Instagram earlier this month featuring Foster, who was convicted of rape in March 2020.
He has since been released on parole, but must wear an electronic monitoring bracelet on his ankle.
Foster was not named or tagged in the video, which includes clips of the couple spending time together, travelling and playing on the beach with Cruickshank’s children.
Her followers quickly spotted Foster’s ankle bracelet, as did news outlets such as the Daily Mail Australia.
Ugh.
Look, I wasn’t going to comment on this because:
1 – It’s garbage gossip
2 – Who you chose to love is your business and not mine
3 – Who gives a fuck?
Now, one could argue that because Cruickshank is an influencer, then she is open to a higher level of scrutiny which I again don’t care about because I don’t care about Social Media Influencers.
Equally I don’t care about Cops either, which Cruickshank’s new partner is a former member of.
So I don’t think this is any of our business.
Who you love is your own business.
Once you have served your time you have served your time.
And I don’t care about Social Media Influencers or Cops.
What I do care about however is the process and manner in which Jamie Foster was convicted because what the public are not aware of is the manner in which Foster was investigated for this case.
What the public don’t know is that the individual at the centre of this case was xxxxxx xx xxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx xxxx*.
Which is all a bit ‘Southern Sheriff Justice’ for me.
There is an enormous amount regarding this investigation and the prosecution of it that points to a miscarriage of justice, which matters, even when the person on the receiving end of a miscarriage of justice is a cop.

Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
Spot on Martyn who gives a damn.
iIts the Golriz situation all over again.
‘I care for “cops” they have an extremely difficult job to perform and as an organisation deserve respect.’
Happy about police sexually assaulting your wife or daughter then Bob?
Bet your attitude changes immediately the day the cops give you the bash.
Apparently people
Need more to focus on like their own business . People shouldn’t judge unless they really know the facts easy to speculate from afar. Get on with your own life stop being bullies . I didn’t want to say anything but it’s really something that should never have been published. Not out business theirs.
Let’s stop being so personal and subjective. Think of correct dealings and process in justice and policing for all. Can we be grown up and focussed on the point that Martyn is making?
