"You're always known as the 'old,'" the term is used in the traveller community to describe a man who has been unfaithful.
"You lose your name.
"Once that name's gone, it's gone, you're never gonna get it back.
"Don't matter what. Even if you're a nice person, you will never get respect back from the Gypsy community.

"You're done."
And Tracey isn't the only traveller who thinks this way.

One source who grew up in the community told The Sun: "It's not the traveller way," in regards to cheating.
One study on travellers attitudes to sexual relationships by Pavee Point, a Traveller and Roma Centre NGO, noted that withing the community: "Infidelity in marriage was also viewed very negatively although again, it was felt that this is probably happening to some extent."
Tracey added that Molly-Mae wouldn't be tarnished like Tommy and said she will earn a lot more respect now, especially for walking away and choosing herself.
"I didn't initially like Molly-Mae, but she has grown on me," added Tracey. And since she's had that little girl, like, she seems a lovely mother as well. She is a lovely mother.
Disagreements about upbringing
Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury were together for four years before having their first child, here we look at the disagreement the pair had on raising her within traveller traditions.
The couple met on Love Island in 2019 and sparks flew instantly. In January 2023, Molly-Mae gave birth to their first and only child Bambi and later that year in July the pair are engaged.
It was document on their Netflix show: At Home With The Furies that the couple had different visions for parenting Bambi.
She revealed to the cameras how her then-fiancé had discussed the option of Bambi not going to school because of his Traveller background.
Meanwhile, the professional boxer made it clear that he intended to raise Bambi in the Traveller way he was brought up, with family being "number one".
Traditionally, Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller children leave school after primary in order to learn 'traditional' skills.
Molly, who understood the importance of Tommy's culture objected the idea, wanting her children to stay in education.
"I take my hat off to her. Because if you look at some of the others, their wives are happy to sit there and let the men keep cheating.
"It takes a strong, confident woman to say, get out.
"Get out and stay out."
"He apparently lost thousands upon thousands of followers, I was one of them," Tracey added.
The Breakup
According to sources, Molly-Mae, 25, and the mother to their child Bambi, kicked Tommy out after she confronted him about his infidelities.
Friends close to the Love Island star - who was seen for the first time yesterday since the breakup announcement - told The Sun she was now expecting women to come forward about Tommy’s cheating on her during their five-year relationship.
A source said: “Molly-Mae is now aware Tommy was unfaithful to her.
“She believes it has happened a number of times.
“It seems he would play away when he knew people wouldn’t recognise him.
“Molly-Mae is absolutely heartbroken and says she fully expects that other women are going to come forward and speak to her about him being unfaithful."
The Furies Reaction
Tommy Fury, 25, is the brother of ex-world champion boxer Tyson Fury, also known as the gypsy king, who is said to be 'gutted' by the split.
The pair hail from Irish Traveller descent and Tyson and his wife Paris Fury have been particularly outspoken on traditions within their culture and wanting to keep them for their own kids.
Tyson revealed that his heritage was part of the reason he became a boxer.
Opening up, The Gypsy King said that he needed to learn to fight and defend himself being a traveller in society.
"Boxing is a key element of the travelling culture," he explained.
"Before anything else, you learn how to fight."
Whereas Paris has said she wants her children to leave school early to keep within their traditions
Sticking to her culture, Paris revealed in 2020 ITV documentary 'Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King' that she wanted her children to be taught at home and to remain under her roof until they marry, while Tyson had a rather different perspective...
"Me and Tyson have talked about the kids going to school," Paris said. "Tyson wants the boys to go into education but I don't; it's just not what we've ever done.
"I was brought up as a Traveller and I want my kids to be brought up as Travellers. They will probably leave school at 11 and they'll be educated at home from then.
A pal of Molly-Mae's has told The Sun exclusively that the catalyst for Molly ending their five year relationship was Tommy failing to deny her suspicions.
