Ivanova blasts "Goblin King" Ronnie Wood

Ivanova blasts

Ronnie Wood's ex-girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova has branded the Rolling Stone an "evil Goblin King".

Speaking to Hello magazine, the Russian-born waitress also accused Wood of behaving like a 12-year-old during their time together.

Reflecting on the failed romance, Ivanova explained: "The whole thing started off like a fairytale. But then it felt like an evil fairytale. When Ronnie and I moved into a tower, my friends were laughing and saying I was like the princess trapped in the tower. He went all Jekyll and Hyde. I'd be trapped there with an evil Goblin King."

Claiming that Wood's alcohol habits drove a wedge between them, she continued: "I just don't think he could handle [drinking] so well. Even if he wasn't nasty, he would start repeating the same jokes and I found them really irritating.

"When we first met, I drank a lot but then I just couldn't keep up. He would sit there and drink and I wouldn't feel the need to. I would say, 'You can carry on drinking, but all you are doing is pushing me away'."

She concluded: "I grew out of him. I just thought, what's the point of being with an older man if he acts about 12? He was like a child with tantrums when he was drunk, throwing water bottles and doing impressions of my voice. It was like trying to keep a child under control. In the end I was so unimpressed by everything. I found it very fake."

Wood, 62, split from 21-year-old Ivanova earlier this month. The pair, who shared a rented mock castle in Surrey, had started dating in the summer of 2008 after Wood walked out on Jo, his wife of 23 years.
