“He punched me in the face”
“I planned to keep my mouth shut,” Nora Haukland begins her emotional speech on Snapchatfrom the “See and Hear” quoted. But after Marius’ written confession, the “Love Island” participant felt “great frustration” because: “Marius speaks as if this is the first time that something like this has happened. He is practically begging for sympathy.” But Marius also became violent towards her.
He punched me in the face. He kicked me, he choked me, he destroyed my apartment.

He repeatedly promised her that he would get help. But Nora left him. She and Marius were a couple from September 2022 to August 2023.
The worst thing, however, was not the physical violence, but the “psychological part.” “The threats, the shouting.” In the podcast “Chapters” Nora described her relationship with Marius as an “unhealthy love”. “I wanted to save him.”
Ex-girlfriends spill the beans
Nora Haukland is not the only ex-girlfriend to speak out. After Marius’ arrest, Juliane Snekkestad, Marius’ first great love, also shared her experiences with the 27-year-old. “We can no longer allow more women to suffer this,” she wrote on Monday (12.08.) in her Instagramstory.
She shares very similar memories to Nora Haukland:
Yes. In the past, I have been subjected to psychological and physical violence by the person concerned. The psychological violence was the most brutal for me.

Violence against women must be “stopped”
The Norwegian model feels “obliged” to finally speak out. “Even though my family and closest friends knew, I decided not to remain silent any longer.”
Never the same after violence
After Marius’ arrest, she received “a series of calls, messages and questions” about her ex. The last few days have been “strange and painful” for Juliane. Her thoughts are with the alleged victim.
The current headlines are reopening old wounds, because Juliane’s own experiences have left their mark, as she reveals on Instagram:
Even after years of professional help and support from my wonderful family, fiancé and friends, somehow you never become the same person again.

Juliane hopes that the alleged victim also gets enough support and help to get through this difficult time. Her final emotional message to her followers: “Take care of each other and be kind to each other.”
“This must be stopped.”
From 2018 to 2022, Marius and Juliane went through life together. With no other girlfriend did it seem so serious. She accompanied him to official appointments and was very close to the crown. According to “Se og Hør”, the couple bought a house together near Oslo in 2019 and lived there with two dogs. All signs pointed to an engagement – until their love fell apart in 2022. After Juliane, Marius dated reality star Nora Haukland.
