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.

Of course they're not, people on here don't want to discuss actual assaults or anything,

I think it's a really important point about the behaviour of the CBB team. They wanted to make good tv and stir the pot. They almost certainly allowed Roxanne to believe she'd been assaulted and they knew she hadn't yet reprimanded Ryan anyway. They don't give a fuck about humans, only ratings and I think if you DO want to support Ryan the best thing you can do is boycott this tosh (I have)

In any of these places what happened to him would make him a victim of bullying

Right, as bullying is a form of abuse too.

rainbowsandsmiles · 04/09/2018 23:36

Nobody has said that at all, that he's not the same type of victim of dv victims.

Sorry, random not that shouldn't be in there.

BB and CBB has been a cesspit since before it left channel 4.

theaveragewife · 04/09/2018 23:41

There is more than one type of victim,you know.

And the other victims need you to speak out more. As a woman I see it as my responsibility to support and believe victims of real crime and abuse. I just want you to recognise that you can do that too and it will make a difference to an actual person who needs help. Instead of vilifying a woman who is wholly in the wrong, support some women who need it.

theaveragewife · 04/09/2018 23:42

It shouldn’t have been aired - the responsible thing to do would have been to get Roxy out and to see a psychologist ASAP.

DioneTheDiabolist · 04/09/2018 23:46

GunpowderGelatine, you have some good points to make and I think they would benefit from their own thread. I don't think it does your argument any good to attach it specifically to the Roxanne Pallett/Ryan Thomas thing.

Its sad that you don't see this as abuse.

Its also sad that you think that because we are on a thread about one thing and aren't discussing your chosen topic that you have decided that we can only support one thing at a time.

You say that this shouldn't have been aired and excuse her behaviour with "MH issues" but if this had not been aired others would not have come forward, others would have suffered in silence at the hands of this woman. Do you not recognise the words as the same as you are saying about your victims of real crime and abuse.

Or should we ignore the next school pupil that says that they are being bullied and then go on to kill themselves?

Bullying and abuse needs to be seen in all its forms and should show the abuser whatever their sex or chosen gender.

Well said.

Rhydian who she was going to be in panto with this year has now come out and said that she has allegedly accused him of assaulting her on the Rocky Horror Show the other year. (Sorry, on phone so can't link to article.) He said in it he was dreading working with her again in case it happened again.

dustarr73 · 05/09/2018 06:39

. They almost certainly allowed Roxanne to believe she'd been assaulted

Why are you trying to blame everyone else.There is only 1 person to blame for her predidiment.And its Roxanne.

The CBB didnt know it was going to pan out the way it did.They cant see in to the future.

Also they gave him a warning.So its like they believed Roxanne straight away.As women do no wrong.Reminds me of some of the posts on here.

You have a vaginga so you are the victim.Eve if you are the bully.

twattymctwatterson · 05/09/2018 06:40

I think whatRoxanne Pallett did was shocking and awful and she's rightly been condemned. It's concerning to me how much more she's been vilified than Dan Osborne, an actual abuser of women

BoneyBackJefferson · 05/09/2018 07:09

twattymctwatterson

Why would you assume that posters know who the rest of these people are?
I don't follow the cult of zelebs and has-beens.
The only reason that most of use know about this debacle is because its made its way out of the depths of the 'entertainment' section and in to the news.

youarenotkiddingme · 05/09/2018 07:14

Now watched JV interview.

My arse she was advised against it. Someone told her to go in with the little lost girl act and apologise over and over to save face.
Except I don't buy it. It was hard due them to give her a hard time (the one she deserved) because it would have been like kicking a wounded animal.

PeakedTooEarly · 05/09/2018 07:19

I think Ryan Thomas is her victim. I think she was game playing and she misjudged it. She knew he would be popular with the public and her asking him to be removed from the house is evidence of this. I don't think she's unwell just deeply unpleasant. There are a lot of people like her in real life, people that would walk on your face to get what they want. It's shocking when it's so brazen and on the TV though but it sounds like she has been pulling these stunts for years and it has worked for her to date.

MozzieMagnet · 05/09/2018 07:46

I am no fan of Dan but Roxanne is being villified as it is not the first time she has accused co-stars:

Connor Byrne - accused of violence - Jack and the Beanstalk Dec 2017
She was allegedly sacked from Dick Whittington Dec 2016 (following several incidents acc to co-star Mark Paterson)
Sam Attway - accused him of punching her - Rocky Horror 2013
Rhydian Roberts - similar allegations - Rocky Horror 2013
(plus another 4 from that production have a dim view of her)
She has also alleged sexual harassment within the theatre (being groped off-stage and being told her photo was wanked over)
She left Wedding Singer tour early.
and 21 co-stars from Emmerdale, some of whom worked alongside her for 3 years a decade ago took to twitter to call her out...

They cannot all be wrong, can they?

StarsMoonSun · 05/09/2018 08:16

Well karma has definitely 'kicked her I up the arse and then some', and has let all those RP wronged watch!

She's a nasty piece of work who is now reaping what she has sown. Tough.
I'm just wondering where she can go from here. Her career is in tatters, and I think even if she attempts to continue with acting abroad no one will take her on.
She'll have to work eventually, so whatever she does, especially if she works with the public, she'll face back lash for some time after all this.

LimboLuna · 05/09/2018 08:39

Next job will be that “celebs in therapy” program

DioneTheDiabolist · 05/09/2018 09:09

As a woman I see it as my responsibility to support and believe victims of real crime and abuse.
That's great. But you are not supporting them by conflating their plight with what Roxanne Pallett did on CBB last week.

Blimey when you put it like that Shock

She is almost like a mirror image Harvey Weinstein- instead of a past of assaulting women she has a past of accusing men

GunpowderGelatine · 05/09/2018 14:03

Wow. This is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read on here. Harvey Weinstein is a rapist FFS.

rainbowsandsmiles · 05/09/2018 14:20

Gunpowder -I agree, that sounds ridiculously harsh but I can kind of see where the poster was coming from with that analogy.
Try and look at the bigger picture about what she actually did.
