Did anyone just see it?
Was that real?
Did the show expect it to be jokey and misjudged it?

Either she is unwell or in pain or she's putting on a good act.

I don't know how I feel about what I watched if I'm honest.

It just goes to show that all this mental health awareness stuff is disingenuous rubbish.

It’s become yet another ‘thing’ by which people promote themselves without actually giving a damn.

An agent only earns money if their client is earning money.

Yes, but if the client isn't getting offers of work and earning money because she's got herself a reputation for being unreliable or unpredictable, the agent won't be earning either. Agents normally think beyond the job on offer right now, unless they're really scraping the barrel to get work for the client.

That was horrible to watch. I felt as if I was watching a bunch of mean school girls hounding the child that doesn’t fit. Watching grown women bully another that appeared to be distressed and struggling was actually astounding. I hope this blows up in their face.

It was hard to watch, Kim clearly has mental health issues and I wish she would get the help she clearly needs. I do think colleen wanted to end it today I don't think she was nasty. Kim wouldn't let her speak the bit I didn't think was right though was Linda shouldn't have been on the show today as obviously she couldnt be objective so it came across that Colleen had her "gang" but I think ,hope that was just a bad decisions on the productions part.

theipadsavedmylife · 29/08/2018 21:00

Hope this will be the end of loose women. It's had its day. Horrible behaviour.

And calling a programme Loose Women to start with is grim Confused

NewUserNameTime · 29/08/2018 21:01

This was so uncomfortable to watch. I don't watch LW but am a a massive CBB fan. I feel quite bad having disliked Kim so much as I think she has some issues to have behaved that way and today to have the views she has of her and other's behaviour.

Very poor from for the producers to get her own if this is what they wanted to happen

Bumblebee777 · 29/08/2018 22:02

Awful show with awful panelists. I cannot stand the Nolan's, they ooze self importance and come across extremely bitchy. Colleens son has made a number of derogatory comments about mental health since this afternoon, the hashtag #nastynolans seems appropriate.
Kim is no shrinking violet but she was definitely provoked and bullied today. I hope loose women takes some action against this although judging by the hypocritical shite they usually broadcast I won't hold out much hope.

DigsysDiner · 29/08/2018 22:23

I've just watched it to see what all the fuss was about and i'm fucking disgusted. Theyve basically bear baited and humiliated a woman who's clearly mentally ill.

The lot of them look like a bunch of bullying harridans.

Aspenfrost · 29/08/2018 22:30

It was a nasty spectacle. Poor lady.

HelenaDove · 30/08/2018 00:30

padsaved back in the late 90s the name was changed to Live Talk and then changed back again.

i liked Mel and Sues Light Lunch on Channel 4.

Oliversmumsarmy · 30/08/2018 01:13

What a fucking disgrace and the worst thing is you could tell that the 3 of them (exception Linda Robson) were absolutely loving it

How could you tell LR wasn't absolutely loving it . The camera was hardly on her.

JSP dressed as a Judge.

Why wasn't she asking the same questions to CN.

I think the lot of them think they are beyond reproach, everyone loves them and they can do anything without any consequences.

They have been doing it for so long they have got comfortable

I think they massively misjudged this

retainertrainer · 30/08/2018 06:32

I’ve been wondering how Stacy Solomon would have handled it if she’d been on the panel yesterday. She comes across well on the show and actually as one of the more mature panellists or Kay Adams,I quite like her too.

picklemepopcorn · 30/08/2018 07:20

Linda Robson was not innocent in this. Look at her face when she reacts to Kim. She wants to be nice, but there's so much dramatic face pulling. No one there was trying to understand what Kim was saying and communicate with her, they were just reacting for each other and the audience.

Starlight345 · 30/08/2018 07:31

I didn’t enjoy any of it and don’t think any of them ( except Linda ) came off well.

My however is I have seen Kim on other programs recently B.B. chat think and she will be loud and vile on those programs too.

I am not sure that if she has mh issues that makes her behaviour any more excusable.

I am sure I read somewhere how awful she was to Aggie.

She shouldn’t of been on loose woman with Colleen.

Vitalogy · 30/08/2018 08:03

Linda Robson was not innocent in this. Look at her face when she reacts to Kim. I think her face looked like that because she'd at one point stated that Collene was two faced to Kim. So felt a wee bid of embarrassed about that, so the face pulling/squirming was due to that.

I am sure I read somewhere how awful she was to Aggie. Yes I heard that too. You can just imagine the kind of stuff Aggie put up with, until she couldn't take anymore. I saw Aggie the other week on a dating show abroad I think it was. She came across as a kind among other things. She probably tried to help Kim somewhat but there's only so much one can do.

WhipItGood · 30/08/2018 08:05

That clip is terrible Shock

Kim seemed far from ok emotionally to be on tv like that. But did she have a point? Was she bullied on BB by Coleen? I didn’t see it so wouldn’t know.

But that clip certainly had a whiff of bullying about it. JSP dressed up as a judge ..wtf?? The ‘sad’ faces and shrugging for sympathy at the clapping audience. 4 against one. The music on Kims entrance..

Kim might not be a nice person, but that didn’t convince me that the LW crew were either, and made me wonder if she was actually telling the truth about Coleen. An own goal there.

yesterdaysgone · 30/08/2018 08:45

I thought Linda Robson was just as bad as the rest. She said something like "you're such an angry person", with a smug expression confident she had all the other bullies on her side., definitely joined in with the bear baiting.Thats why Kim pushed her hand away.

mydogisthebest · 30/08/2018 09:05

I don't like Kim but I dislike Colleen even more. She really is a nasty piece of work and so full of herself

JillCrewesmum · 30/08/2018 09:07

I haven't seen it, but anything that pushes Loose Women closer to the abyss of TV history is fine by me. Bloody awful programme and concept.

LynetteScavo · 30/08/2018 09:16

They were all awful in different ways- but Colleen sister was the worst. Was she just there to stir things?

JSP needs to step away from this show now...I always thought better off her than this.

yesterdaysgone · 30/08/2018 09:22

Coleen and her sister Linda are a nasty pair. I remember them being interviewed a few years ago before going on that reunion tour, about why their sister Ann wasnt being included. It was just the same telling expressions on their faces instantly caught on camera, if looks could kill....not nice.

surferjet · 30/08/2018 09:30

I hope they’re all sacked, they should be.

yesterdaysgone · 30/08/2018 09:32

Why does every drop have to be wrung out of everything these days. The pair had fallen out on CBB, big deal that should have been it. If they wanted to make amends it should have been done privately. It was set up purely to get the result it did. I hope Loose Women goes now. Absolutely disgraceful TV.

surferjet · 30/08/2018 09:49

& i’m really surprised Janet agreed to this, I always thought she had more integrity.

Aspenfrost · 30/08/2018 10:23

I don’t understand why someone like Janet Street Porter could be part of this awful programme. I have never watched it but I do know she has a reasonable reputation as a journalist. How desperate must she be to want any part of a dumbed down form of television - especially in view of this recent furore?
