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.

Just watched the day after the eviction episode.

I loved Dan asking her if she really believed he deliberately had intention to hurt her and she wouldn't answer the question. I now wonder if her walking had anything to do with her realising she'd gone too far?

I also think a lot more went on behind the scenes because of Ryan breaking down and thanking B.B.

Sally was brilliant. I've never known anything about her (still don't actually know who she is!? but she comes across as an extremely emotionally intelligent woman.

Why were 2 grown adults “playfighting” anyway. People really don’t grown up do they?

And why did Ryan think it was a good idea to “playfully” punch RP given that they’ve “feuded” for many years. Surely he knows l that it would end in tears?

It’s an entertainment show at the end of the day, for all we know RP has set this up with the producers and is pocketing an even fatter fee for causing all this drama and walking out early. When people who have never watched an episode of BB are commenting all over social media and watching this one clip to get the “real” story then the producers must be rubbing their hands.

A set up? With the damage it's done to her reputation & her career?? Not in a million years. No-one in the right mind would employ her or work with her now.

rainbowsandsmiles · 02/09/2018 16:13

What redglitter said! Yes, things are set up for ratings sometimes but there's absolutely no WAY you'd do this to yourself!

youarenotkiddingme · 02/09/2018 16:19

She'd have to be truely thick to agree to being set up for this.

And considering it was his actions that set this up he'd have to be in on it too at first?

And if it was a set up her award winning performance was definitely not what B.B. or Ryan expected.

And anyway, Ryan had no idea. He was confuddled about the whole B.B. reaction his his playfighting and actually thought it was B.B. giving a warning and that Roxanne was ok with it. He had NO idea she was the one who complained and they all had NO IDEA why she'd gone into another room. He was overwhelmed when he was told it was because she said he'd punched her repeatedly.

everythingsgoingtobealright · 02/09/2018 16:24

I have a feeling there is a lot we haven't seen, BB was quick to let her go normally they persuade them to sleep on it. I think they, along with pritty much everyone else supported Ryan.

Ryan didn't do anything wrong, he apologised straight away when she said it was sore, which she is entitled to feel. She then went on to call him a 'woman beater' and accuse him of assault - that's pritty big allegations over something minor. Then she was scared to sleep in the same room as him. Jeez.

I totally understand that events can trigger feelings especially if she has been a victim of DV but then she said 'I've never felt pain like it from being punched repeatedly in the ribs' Confused plus there is a massive difference from feeling scared because of past events and acting the way she did. It was inexcusable.

HolyMountain · 02/09/2018 16:31

I don’t watch BB but I do read the DM online and they’re over this like a rash.

I read on there that she was a contestant on The Island and left that show early because a bonfire they set up triggered awful memories of a house fire she was involved in when she was younger.

Is she emotionally damaged and unstable? I don’t know but she’s been absolutely slaughtered across social media.

Everstrong · 02/09/2018 16:32

To be fair Red her career isn’t now exactly stellar at the moment. If it was she wouldn’t be doing dross like BB to pay her bills.

She already has a terrible reputation amongst colleagues for the way she behaves and manipulates people.

She’s a complete narcissist, any attention (negative or otherwise) is appreciated. Just wait, they’ll be a trip to rehab, an invented mental illness and a tell all book about her “struggle” to come...

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/09/2018 16:33

Has there been an on going feud, or did he just not like her because of past events?
It seems the past event was her dating his friend and doing similar.

I don't think BB are on his side as such, just they know she is in the wrong.

This will probably be career ending for her, and in theory I'd say no one deserves that, but she'd have ended Ryan's career if her lies stuck.

rainbowsandsmiles · 02/09/2018 16:36

Yes, that's in The Sun online and Daily Mail. Thing is, nobody's going to believe a bloody word that comes out of her mouth now, are they.

Redglitter · 02/09/2018 16:36

Good point Everstrong

I see there's a petition been started by the locals in the area she was supposed to be in Panto this year. I can see her losing that job. The few jobs she did have were probably still generating more of an income than most of us get.

Still you reap what you sow.

rwalker · 02/09/2018 16:39

I think we can just go off the facts
1)at the time no great fuss like she had been punched
2)alleged punch on one side but holding the other for camera
3)ryan and roxanne have had a feud for 10 years
4)emmerdale cast said she's a compulsive liar
5) she did exactly the same to costar when she was in panto
6)carried and dancing and drink no problems later that night
7) fame hungry

MurunBuchstansagur · 02/09/2018 16:43

@youarenotkiddingme - Sally is a TV “medium” who made millions out of pretending to be able to contact and receive messages from dead people. She’s particularly noteworthy for actually putting on a child’s voice when pretending its a child she’s in contact with.

She is every bit as despicable as any other “psychic”.

Unfortunately what makes her good at her “job” is what is causing her to come across so well on BB - they are very savvy these people. They know what makes folk tick.

candlefloozy · 02/09/2018 16:50

I'm amazed at the amount of celebrities who've come out and said she's a compulsive liar! So for me that says it all really.
I was annoyed when she said it's not worth the money and she might aswell work in a corner shop and live off rations!! Who does she think she is?!
She made it all about her. After Ben had gone they were discussing in the garden why they were chanting get roxy out. Sally said I think it's because of your relationship with Ben and she turned it around and say oh do you think it's because of what happened with Ryan?! And no one had mentioned that or brought it back up!

youarenotkiddingme · 02/09/2018 16:50

Thanks murun I guess she is very emotionally intellectual then?

What I still don't get is why when she went into the bedroom - alone - she said out loud "I've just been punched by corries Jason Grimshaw".

Not Ryan, but his character. (Don't watch show so don't know what his character is like). That was very odd in itself.

I wonder if she was afraid because Ryan is popular that things would come out about her last and the way she treated his friend? Because from what I've got from the 3 episodes I've watched (only watched those 3 to get a understanding of whole event) is that housemates didn't know about that until after she'd made the accusation and he told them?

Sun online has a very interesting article full of tweets from her former ED cast colleagues.

mlrmummy1 · 02/09/2018 17:57

I used to follow her on insta. Have to admit she’s not quite right. Can’t put my finger on it but she likes to play the damsel in distress, she likes to play vunerable. She refers to herself as a girl and him a boy, like she’s Peter Pan.

whatacarryon2018 · 02/09/2018 17:57

I was in Panto with her.
She's an absolute psycho. Accused lots of people of lots of things and was vile to be around. Hardeep summed it up when he said "you have to make everything about you".
Lots of people are insinuating that she's mentally ill. I think that's an insult to people who genuinely are.
Fundamentally, she's just not a nice person.

Sibsmum · 02/09/2018 18:01

I think she sounds mentally unstable. I hope she gets help and I hope Ryan is fully vindicated.
Don't agree with Ben's girlfriend that Roxy is as much to blame as him for their relationship problems. He didn't have to respond to Roxy's overtures. He,s the one having a baby with her. Another sweet bloke who's never quite grown up. Nice to befriend, hopeless for anything committed...
Such a shame .

GreenTulips · 02/09/2018 18:04

She made it all about her

When Ryan was leaving she said 'what am I going to do without you'

No good luck or see you soon .... all her

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/09/2018 18:23

WhatACarryOn
My friend and I were talking about this earlier today, I have mental health issues as does my 17yr old,(anxiety and depression), but we both said we don't believe that at all, some people are just downright nasty, and I think that of her.
I do think mental health issues will be spouted from her agent, but imo, that'll make it worse.
The best thing she can do is go away.

whatacarryon2018 · 02/09/2018 18:29

@IHaveBrilloHair
That's exactly what will happen but I reckon she's annoyed enough people in the industry that this will be the final straw. She hides behind being little and cute but she knows exactly what she's doing and fortunately, she's no longer fooling anyone.
Silly silly girl.

Essex123 · 02/09/2018 18:33

I hate the way the accuser is always believed straight away, CBB should of had the guts to say she was overreacting, and not pussy foot around her.
I cannot believe someone can act this way and have a consiance, she is a bloody liar and a coward that she didn't face the public and Emma.
I would advise her fiancée to stay well away and have a lucky escape.
Phycho alert!!!!!!!!!

IHaveBrilloHair · 02/09/2018 18:34

Yes!
She's little and cute and small and wide eyed and innocent.
No.

Tistheseason17 · 02/09/2018 18:57

I know someone who was in Big Brother.
Please remember that you cannot believe everything that you see.
It is REALLY heavily edited and interspersed with dialogue and supposed "faces showing anger/sadness" that do not necessarily even happen at the same time as what is happening in the house.

It's about making talked about TV - and they have succeeded.

I'm not saying who's in the right or wrong - I just think the viewers are part of the production manipulation and we need to not forget that.

Personally, I'm not a fan of Ryan who dumped his wife/baby saying, "you don't do it for me any more". This plays nicely for him to not look as bad publicly and he has a HUGE past with RP - seriously, who rings someone to tell them not to wear a dress because one of their friends is wearing a same/similar one and then gets angry when they do? If this was on MN we'd tell him to do one and she can wear what she wants!

She definitely needs an assessment for MH/PTSD issues. Yes, even a narcissistic personality disorder is a MH issue - albeit less palatable than other less offensive disorders. People with MH issues don't chose the popular ailments - they have no choice.

I am sure there is more video footage available of the incident and it should be available. It is not fair to play this game with either of them.

Would not be surprised if it was a trigger for her - then you have to ask whether she was mentally safe enough to enter the house in the first place?

Ok, so....

No?
