Sophie Monk Talks About Uncomfortable Benji Madden Reunion
Benji Madden shunned his ex-fiancee in a restaurant, leaving her mortified. Sophie Monk - whose engagement to the Good Charlotte rocker ended in February 2008 - was delighted to see her former beau at a restaurant recently, but he refused to speak to her.
"I saw him the other day actually but he wasn’t as warm or welcoming as I was. I gave him a hug, but no arms came out, it was the worst! It was so embarrassing."
For Sophie, 29, the situation was made even worse because so many people were staring at her when it happened.
She told Australian radio show 2Day FM’s Kyle and Jackie O:
"I went out of my way to go to his table at dinner and everyone was looking at me so I was like, ‘OK, I’ll just back out.’ Then I had a couple of glasses of wine so I went back and did it again, I thought, ‘Oh hell, I don’t care, I’m bigger than this. I’ve got no issue with him.’ It didn’t work again so next time, I might not do that. I can’t do that though I’ll always say hello."
That's not nice!
Good thing Sophie is in a new relationship, but don't ask her to talk about it.
"He’s a doctor. A plastic surgeon doctor. I was like, I’ve only known him for six days and everyone’s going to pick me apart now even though I’ve had nothing done. It’ll be like, ‘Oh he did this and that.’ My mum’s going to hit him up though, she’s like ‘What can he do for me?’ "
Wonder why Benji wasn't friendly? Or perhaps Sophie took it the wrong way?

I think you should always be cordial to your exes. Not calling them everyday and going out-that's a no no. But if you see them in a public place and it's been several years you should at least show some decency to that person no matter how the relationship ended. It's called closure..but that's my opinion.

I completely agree with you. At least she was the bigger person in attempting to be nice to him. Karma...
I can understand your point. But I would need to know the reason why they broke up before I can totally agree. Women are known to be more sympathetic - than a man, but what would be his need to be rude to her, unless she did him TERRIBLY WRONG? Men would rather stand on their pride than admit they did you wrong or you shamed their ego; so they would but you out to make good on their pride. To me that is shameful moral, for anyone to do such a thing. BUT, I SAY AGAIN, I WOULD NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEIR REASON FOR THE SEPARATION. She should have said hello and never went back; giving him the understanding she grew past the past and he need to stand to be bigger than his childish thoughts. CREATE THE CLOSER. I agree with someone who commenting on him still loving her, YES-I AGREE OR his jealous she found someone who has job people respect "DOCTOR"
CLOSURE not closer,sorry

I completely agree with that dieselchicklett!! I don't care if we ended in bad-good terms if it's been a while and we have move on we can be cordial and polite about a hello!! but i think sophie shouldn't of gone over to his table. Specially if he didn't make an efford to say hi to her first.

That's beyond rude.
WHAT WAS SHE THINKING? She shouldn't have given the hug. A simple Hello would have benn okay but...TO GIVE A HUG TO YOUR EX WIH YOU HAVEN'T TALK TO OR SEEN IN ALMOST 2 YEARS!!?? That is a little too far. But Benji should have said at least Hello if he didn't.

That was rude of Benji to not acknowledge her. Maybe she did go a little overboard with the hug but he should have be cordial about it. There's no need to be a jerk but maybe he's still in love with her and was jealous that she is happy with someone else. Who knows.

Benji is an obvious oaf and she should have been cordial and then kept it moving. Going back only made her look like a fool.

I have an ex I always feel embarrassed when i see him, I can't help it, and he knows it so he's always very polite, and so am I.
HA HA HA ...i have done this to a few ex-boyfriends.They are either polite and avoid u all night or they do something else that will pi$$ u off. My therapist would say. Do nothing. Its over...YOU OWE HIM NOTHING.Not a smile or a greeting.So,what if the whole world r looking at you. If u work for the UN then ignore all the above but in terms of ex's. If they see you 1st and greet u then be polite.If they don't then you ignore and get on with your life. You would look needy and pathetic if you go up to your ex.Don't think you can say I was the bigger man...that is BS. Cos this is gonna piss u off for months...I know.I have been there and 4 sure done it. He is your ex not your friend. Remember, good things mostly occur with bad ppl. So, saying Karma and being a DOOR MAT does not make u look or feel good. This is male bs mind fuckery going on here. Anyway, be strong.There are 6 Billion ppl in the world. there are AT 50 million who would love to date you. Think about it in those terms. Remember your ex is your EX. Not your best friend.

I want to know why they broke up - If it was her being a B, then I can see why he wouldn't be nice to her. There are some ex's that broke my heart that I wouldn't want to see.

well if they broke up in bad terms then its a different story. but if its all good then he should've been more polite.
