Of course she can't be blamed for his behaviour but what sort of person attempts a sleb career on the back of his awful crime? Just awful.

AnyFucker · 11/03/2015 22:40

You up for it Basil ? Wink

AskBasil · 11/03/2015 22:09

Am guessng BB are looking for a campaigning feminist to go in at the same time

Hmm
PuffinsAreFictitious · 11/03/2015 20:55

In a way I almost hope she does get in. Then everyone in the country will see what a fucking horrible character she is. She is incapable of rational thought and extremely abusive.

OTOH. The rapist's poor bloody victim will no doubt be outed yet again on the back of it. So best Kylie doesn't really.

AKnickerfulOfMenace · 11/03/2015 20:48

No, it was his cousin who named the victim. And his brother who filmed the incident, IIRC.

AKnickerfulOfMenace · 11/03/2015 20:46

Piece, she has verbally abused the victim and may have been one of those found guilty of naming her.

It's possible to claim innocence without abusing the other side.

pieceofpurplesky · 11/03/2015 20:44

I have just read both and nowhere does it say SHE has said she will use it as a platform - it was the comment if a source. As much as I despise him I also don't think she can be blamed for how she has acted - is she not just another victim of his character?? She believes him like his fiancée. Stupid, yes. Evil, no.

Good point , Lonny

Not sure re: legal standing but I agree with your post Surly

Good idea, Lonny

Surly - I doubt it unless it's libellous.

Namechanged101 · 11/03/2015 20:32

Very good point Lonny think you are right

SurlyCue · 11/03/2015 20:31

Surely there is dodgy legal ground for CH5 in this? I mean they are facilitating/enabling, encouraging? the emotional distress of his victim surely by doing this? If his sister has said openly she is doing it to clear his name (she cant- she has no authority to do that- she is not the justice system) then Ch5 are actively participating in what she is doing. If he hadnt been found guilty i could accept that they allowed her the platform to discuss it but he has been found guilty by the courts, he has been convicted and sentenced. It is now officially a fact that he is guilty of rape. There is no way to "clear his name" as BB is not a court room or a trial so surely all it serves to achieve is more distress for his victim? Isnt there a legal standing that prevents that sort of thing?

LonnyVonnyWilsonFrickett · 11/03/2015 20:31

I'm all for a petition but I also think it's worth hanging fire until it's been confirmed by C5 sort of thing. I don't think there's any point giving more publicity (which translates into ratings) to her or the programme until they announce she's in it. Otherwise (sadly) it may make her look like a more attractive proposition.

PilchardPrincess · 11/03/2015 19:54

OMFG so they are getting someone on who will spend all their time saying a convicted rapist didn't do anything wrong, in order to get some ratings?

That's vile, I mean, really grim.

His poor fucking victim it's staggering.

Namechanged101 · 11/03/2015 19:45

Yy to petition sounds good

SurlyCue · 11/03/2015 19:32

I really hope it is just publicity stunt for ch5 to drum up interest and that it doesnt happen. BB used to be complete randomers who auditioned via video and were chosen on personality. Now it seems that you need to already have had your public exposure before being of any interest to the producers. Not really how it should be is it? It isnt the celebrity version so should be complete "unknowns" imo. Certainly not airtime for convicted rapists (i know it isnt him but it is indirectly him clearing his name) it is a fucking disgrace that it would even be considered.

Steben · 11/03/2015 19:25

Christ almighty they must be scraping the barrel

ThreadkillerCilla · 11/03/2015 19:22

More and more shameful decisions from broadcasters Sad

Good point Surly Josie was used by BB twice, firstly for non-celeb BB and then for CBB.

So last year they used josie cunningham to try and stir up some public discussion about the show that i thought had ended years ago this year theyre doing this? How low will channel 5 go? And also, will it actually come to fruition? Josie didnt.

I don't think she is going into the 'celebrity version' not that that makes it ny better.
