CBB 'punch' incident. Views?

Not sure about this as it is highly irritating to have someone jumping around you pretend to 'box' and he could have poked her by accident. She was in a car accident recently and could be tender there. Some could say she had a right to complain even though he was obviously not deliberately trying to hurt her.

The asking for him to be removed from the house (if she did that) and claims that he'd 'beaten her up' were a complete overreaction of though.

Horrible little lying bitch. I hope her career is over. I loathed her from the moment I saw her on screen. I knew she was an attention seeker. 35 dressing like she’s 15.

She played it well, deliberately asking to be called to the diary room rather than just going. So it would look to the rest of the house that they called her in after seeing the incident. Manipulate bitch.

I'm glad Ryan has so much support. He comes across as being really genuine.

She wouldn't have ruined his career, total hyperbole. Male actors have been accused of rape and beating up women and it has not affected their careers at all.

dustarr73 · 01/09/2018 12:17

She needs to do some voluntary work with domestic abuse survivors.Maybe then it will give her some cop on.

LucyLastik · 01/09/2018 12:21

Maybe she's confusing her DV story line from Emmerdale with real life...

Mammyloveswine · 01/09/2018 12:22

I think it's disgusting. I hope big brother show the footage to the housemates whilst they're in the house so they don't continue to think Ryan did something he didn't do.

I've liked Ryan from the start, along with Kirstie, Nick, Sally and actually Gabby they are down to earth and not acting up for the cameras.

Roxanne is very manipulative, she plays the victim a lot even just when discussing things with others if they question her. I'm not a fan of Hardeep but she hates that he doesn't put up with her 'games'

When her and Ben were talking to the others about happened but wouldn't say what it was and they were all judging Ryan even though they didn't know what it was , I'm not sure if they were assuming he had made some sort of advance on her or something. But how can you judge someone when you don't know what happened and only had one side of the story ? Extremely odd behaviour she's either had some sort of breakdown or she's just completely mad.

Some. And that is abhorrent. But not all - www.thesun.co.uk/tech/6619013/justin-lee-collins-video-abuse-fee/

I don’t watch BB but this is all over the news.

Laughing along can be a very common reaction when you feel uncomfortable but don’t want to lose face, so I won’t condemn her for that.

But the footage of the incident bears no resemblance to what she later tells the other housemates/BB happened. It’s bizarre - as if she thinks no-one saw it and thus she can put her own spin on it for sympathy?

Redrosebelle · 01/09/2018 12:29

She’s trying to distract from the fact she’s openly flirting with another man. What she did is disgusting and an insult to women and men who are true victims of domestic violence. I’m truly shocked!

DigsysDiner · 01/09/2018 12:30

And Cheryl Tweedy is a violent, racist 🤷‍♀️

But still, an innocent person doesnt deserve that sort of.stigma following them around. I think in the current climate incidents of men in the.public eye who are abusive don't tend to have things brushed under the carpet. Which is a.good thing, if theyre guilty 🤔

RebeccaWrongDaily · 01/09/2018 12:41

i don't think what she did was right, i don't think people name calling and baying for her blood / calling her names etc on social media is appropriate.

DioneTheDiabolist · 01/09/2018 12:47

My view is that Roxanne was not "assaulted". By walking she has maintained control. She is clever, pretty and manipulative and will do well in the future.

BoneyBackJefferson · 01/09/2018 12:47

RebeccaWrongDaily

What do you think would have happened to him if she had got away with her tricks?

IhatetheArchers · 01/09/2018 12:48

But she would have been happy with Ryan being the target of name calling, and baying for blood.

TomHardysNextWife · 01/09/2018 12:50

I can't believe she's made it into something it very clearly wasn't, and shame on BB for not showing the other housemates the footage so they could make their own minds up.

She's a very dangerous woman and deserves all she gets from this. Had that not been caught on camera, she could have ruined his career with this. Instead and thankfully she seems to have ruined her own.

BackToTheFuschia7 · 01/09/2018 12:56

YY Rebecca

I didn’t like her before this happened, definitely don’t like her now but the comments on the CBB thread on here have included calling her a ‘cunt’ ‘bitch’ and one classy poster ‘I’d drag her out by her roots’. Interesting the witch hunt that is occurring here, whereas Dan seems to be getting off relatively scott free for his abuse towards his ex.

TwistedStitch · 01/09/2018 12:57

She tried to get him removed from the house! She would have been happy for that to happen, for him to be evicted in disgrace for assault, lose his fee etc. She is revolting.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 01/09/2018 13:33

I think the producers were in a no win situation. Can you imagine if they'd have said to her. "He didn't punch you. You're a liar. People would rightly have been up in arms.

birdsdestiny · 01/09/2018 13:47

CBb put a range of people in the house who all had 'storms' , one was someone who has had to leave his job due to sexual harassment, one was a convicted drink driver etc etc. Something like this was absolutely bound to happen. No they couldn't predict the nature of this but anyone with half a brain would know something was going to happen. They then sit back and throw whoever it is to the wolves, this time it's Roxanne, but it was inevitable it was going to be one of them. She doesn't get a free pass because of her vagina I just don't want to join in the shouts of bitch and cunt. She will have to take responsibility for her actions but so should the producers of CBB and actually us as viewers.

StarWarsHolidaySpecial · 01/09/2018 14:15

It sounds like she is widely disliked and considered to be an extremely damaging and dangerous person.

It's good that she's been exposed.

I don't (and CBB) doesn't need to take any responsibility for that.

What the fuck has how she dresses got to do with anything? I agree that she has been manipulative but your post just comes across as misogynistic.

LokiBear · 01/09/2018 14:26

I actually think that she must have some sort of mental illness or personality disorder. She is in an environment whereby she knows her every move is recorded. She knows thst tbe public will see what happened. It was nothing more than a playful interaction. For her to feel that she could convinve anyone otherwise duggests she is delusional. I feel very sorry for Ryan being the victim in all of this. BB need to get Roxanne help and Ryan support.

Redglitter · 01/09/2018 14:31

Did she forget it was Big Brother she was on & that every area was filmed 24/7. She must know everyone has seen what happens & that her version is so far removed from the truth it's laughable.

She's seriously shot herself in the foot. Her career must be pretty much dead in the water now. Who in the right mind would employ her or work with her.

It's shocking the other people who are bow telling similar stories about her. The fact her former colleagues have not one single good thing to say about her is very telling, in fact they've been very vocal about what a horrible person she is.

I wonder what she thinks now she's out & realises how spectacularly this has backfired. Or does she still see herself as the victim

MissVanjie · 01/09/2018 14:32

ugh so much internalised misogyny in comments on sleb bollocks. anyone who watches this lowest common denominator shit is complicit. this and the laughing at deluded people on X factor/britain's got talent etc is the modern equivalent of bear baiting and guided tours of bedlam. if you keep watching it, they'll keep making it. just say no.
