For your continued education it was said by Iago the villain in Othello who, jealous of Othello's love for Desdemona, turned him against her by implying that she was unfaithful to him. Othello ended up strangling her in a fit of jealous rage (the green-eyed monster).
The poor innocent girl, ill-used by all. Very much like the men on this thread.

All was going well until your last line Judd, for it is I who is the poor innocent, and ill-used one, not YOU.
Now 'oppit.
