Sounds very cruel but after months (have just returned to work from maternity) of reading trashy magazines in which she attacks anyone who goes to work/ bottlefeeds/ is a new mum but looks 100 times better than her and then shows off about how much sex she has with her husband (yeah, thanks for sharing) as if she is the authority on motherhood for us all, that her relationship may have so mething to do with her issues with everyone else and need to constantly show off? I feel for her horrible experience but she has made herself seem hideously smug and hypocritical over the last year- ugh rant over.

Tl10 I suggest you say you're sorry and back out of this thread. Because tbh you're not painting yourself in the best light. Whatever you meant to say, it certainly isn't coming across that way. As you can tell from the above posts, it does really sound like she was just looking for a beating.

tl10 · 26/05/2011 21:03

Why are you so eager to insist I think that she deserves domestic violence? I have never said that. And I have no disagreement with anyone on here that it is disgusting and her partner seems an absolute wanker and I hope she doesn't take him back. But I think it excuses a lot of her outbursts and nutty judgemental assumptions about others if she has had to endure that prick for the last few years. If it makes you happy to portray me as some evil bitch who is suggesting that anyone should endure that kind of rubbish and abuse in their own home at a time when they feel most vulnerable after having a baby then fair enough but I don't for one second hold those sort of views- the point I was trying to make was obviously misinterpreted

Billshit OP. Apologise and leave the thread ?

springbokscantjump · 26/05/2011 21:05

Oh fgs I meant to say that it sounds like you're saying she was looking for a beating.

GwendolineMaryLacey · 26/05/2011 21:06

Oh, and guess what? All I know about her is that she was in Eastenders, because I watch it. I know nothing of her life outside except a baby called Eliza (lovely name) and this latest incident, because I'm not interested and don't read it. You only know the rest because you're lapping it up in the comics newspapers so you can get off your high horse. They write it for people like you.

If her views bother you that much, then don't read the publications or view the tv programmes in which she airs them. It's not that difficult. Or do you want to stop her saying them? Maybe that was his pov as well.

Or maybe you're lazy like me and like to get a bit outraged when I've had a frustrating day at work Grin

You are still sounding a bit thick. Do you mean to?

freshprincess · 26/05/2011 21:08

'Why are you so eager to insist I think that she deserves domestic violence? '

Because you said you think she has been 'heading for a fall' ie she's needs putting in her place. What exactly did you mean by that then?

Yuck. How could anyone be "heading for a fall" that involved being beaten up by their partner - and then trying to say you are sympathetic - bollocks. You wrote a disgusting, snotty and judgemental op and you have been unanimously trounced so are trying to backtrack. Perhaps you should go back to work and find something more productive to do with your time then be reading such shite. The poor girl has watched her life fall to bits - no money, publicity or picture will make up for the humiliation she must be feeling right now and people like you make it worse. Vile.

Icelollycraving · 26/05/2011 21:14

Yabu. I find Natalie Cassidy nauseating but yr initial thread comments are beyond disgusting.

ShirleyKnot · 26/05/2011 21:15

I think the OP is heading for a fall...

tl10 · 26/05/2011 21:15

definately unreasonable then! point taken, by these responses I'm obv in the wrong. I am sorry if I've pissed anyone off lesson learnt. Right am off before I upset you further.

Boy are you on the wrong forum!

newnameforamoment · 26/05/2011 21:16

I've namechanged as this would identify me quite clearly in RL.

I don't have much time for the lady as she appears in the tabloids, and I agree that she's said things that are at best thoughtless.

However, I have come across her in RL. She lived next door to my elderly grandparents for a while (a few years ago), and the person she was then was miles away from the person that you get in the papers. I only met her once, but they adored her. She took time to get to know them when she moved in, and then started popping in a regular basis for a cup of tea and a chat. Not many people in their early 20s would make that much effort to get to know and spend time with two people in their late 80s. Then she took her Dad round, saying how much he'd like them. She was very good at making my grandparents feel useful and helpful (which they love) without making demands on them. My gran is still talking about the day that Natalie popped in for a cup of tea and had a piece of apple pie. She told my gran she hadn't eaten anything so tasty since her mum had died and could my gran show her how to make it please? Allowing for my gran's tendency to exaggerate, she clearly made a huge effort and they were very sad when she moved out.

So yes, you ABU. Nobody deserves to have the father of their child thump them, however daft the things they may say. I think that fundamentally she's a decent person, just idiotic in the way she says things without thinking first. And even if she were horrid, she wouldn't deserve that.

nenevomito · 26/05/2011 21:17

Re-read your original post OP.

No back-pedalling will change the fact that it was pretty vile.

Agree with AyeRobot. BTW.

Sassybeast · 26/05/2011 21:19

On your way, nip over to the relationships forum and educate yourself about domestic violence.

'Most of the posters with numbers at the end of their name are hard of thinking, aren't they? Is it a netmums code?'
