Has anyone else just watched Loose Women/Kim Woodburn’s outburst?

And what the hell is up with Janet Street Porter? She used to be a respected journalist and now she's pratting about dressed as a Judge trying to goad a woman who is clearly suffering.

Yeah, she's changed and not for the better.
Must be from hanging around with that shower.

OoohAyyye · 29/08/2018 19:26

I think they're all awful. And very immature.

Bunintheoven88 · 29/08/2018 19:36

Formerbabe, I read bluemascara's comment as meaning it was funny as in strange. I also picked up on the fact she seemed extremely upset, then a second later was composed again when she said she had gone on for the money

RoseWhiteTips · 29/08/2018 19:38

Have never seen this so called programme but have not managed to avoid the video clip.

What a nasty example of grown women bullying an older lady who is clearly vulnerable. Horrible. That seems to be the consensus on Twitter, too.

Grow up Rose

RoseWhiteTips · 29/08/2018 19:40

Lots of people have reported it. Let’s hope it puts an end to the whole sorry mess of a programme.

RoseWhiteTips · 29/08/2018 19:40

Are you denying they are? They deserve to be insulted.

GreenTulips · 29/08/2018 19:40

I watched the clip and you see KW desperately appealing to the audience to be on her side, over and over again ..... She did this for sympathy.

It was a complete shambles and whilst I agree she was out numbered, and obviously holds a grudge and in to the past, what she really needed was some help.

But I doubt she'd take anything that was offered.

Hellywelly10 · 29/08/2018 19:41

Who remembers when loose women was good?

Chocolatecoffeeaddict · 29/08/2018 19:41

I actually have always felt sorry for kim. Her childhood and life as a young woman was traumatic. She needs help not ridicule.

picklemepopcorn · 29/08/2018 19:42

She's got a lifetime's experience of surviving, that is one of the strategies. Drag yourself together and respond to the attack.

@Bunintheoven88 sorry I read your comment as funny ha ha rather than funny strange!

HelenaDove · 29/08/2018 19:43

Some of the womens weeklies will love this. A lot of them usually have someone from Loose Women on the cover.

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 19:44

It used to be much better. I used to watch it with my lunch but I find myself turning off regularly because I have no idea who most of the 'celeb' guests are. Love Island and X factor people and because half the programme is competition ads.

Snoopychildminder · 29/08/2018 19:44

Rose it’s their behaviour that’s wrong, I couldn’t care less about their waistlines.

The music was Oh Fortuna, the producers really wanted to set her up as the devil. Such appalling television. Really hope they are ashamed..although sadly it seems they aren’t.

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 19:45

Thanks Snoopy for the music title.

BirthdayBlueBo · 29/08/2018 19:46

I’ve just complained too
The producers should hang their heads in shame.
A new low today for LW and that’s saying something

LeftRightCentre · 29/08/2018 19:47

LW is a disgusting programme. I'm surprised that load of misogynist wank is still on telly. What a disgrace! Kim has serious issues and might well be a nasty person but she was well set up on that.

Zippitydoodar · 29/08/2018 19:49

The audience are told when to clap, cheer, boo etc so I don't think it was particularly that they were on the LW side.

Lynda Nolan was vile "what are you famous for" twice, how horrible.

Snoopychildminder · 29/08/2018 19:57

everyoneiswingingit I don’t know horror films but I know a bit about music!!
The exorcist was Tubular Bells, Mike Oldfield.

Anyway I digress...

katielouise3 · 29/08/2018 20:03

Agree with @LeftRightandCentre. Kim was well set up there!

frankie69 · 29/08/2018 20:03

Agree wholeheartedly with everyone saying they feel sorry for Kim, and she needs help. Also that the LW fishwives did gang up on her. She is a gobby opinionated woman who can be rude and argumentative, but they (the Loose Women) were AWFUL today.

How do I complain to OFCOM?

Link anyone?

Thanks folks. Smile
