Emmerdale’s Ruby defended over decision not to tell Caleb the truth about Anthony: ‘Stop victim shaming’
Ruby’s been put in a horrible position
Fans of Emmerdale have leapt to the defense of Ruby Fox-Miligan following last night’s episode, which came as Caleb learned that Steph is not his daughter. Rooting around in Ruby’s handbag, he stumbled across the results of a DNA test – confirming Ruby’s worst fears.
Assuming that Ruby had cheated on him years ago, Caleb kicked off – and kicked her out too. Ruby was devastated to learn that Steph is Anthony’s daughter. Heartbroken as she was, Ruby said nothing, leaving many viewers confused.
To many, Ruby should have revealed the truth to Caleb – that her father raped her as a teenager. The reality, however, is not nearly so simple.
‘Stop victim shaming’ demand Emmerdale fans as Ruby stays silent
Writing on social media, a number of Emmerdale fans defended Ruby’s choice not to tell Caleb, highlighting the terrible position she had been put in.
“She doesn’t tell him because she is protecting Steph. Don’t be so quick to judge and stop victim blaming. Ruby is suffering so much but she wants to protect her daughter from this nightmare. My heart goes out to Ruby she is a great character,” wrote one fan on Instagram.
“Why didn’t she just tell him?” Sadly this isn’t something that is so easy to tell. Esp if she’s been told time and time again that she wouldn’t be believed etc. Hopefully he does find out the truth soon though. Bless her,” said another.
“It’s awful for Ruby. I was shouting at the tv for her to tell Caleb even tho it’s obviously not an easy thing to tell,” a third sympathised.
“People blaming her over something she had no control over and say in,” wrote a fourth.
