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

I felt a bit bad for Linda, I thought she was a bit uncomfortable with it until the part where Kim started welling up at her abusive childhood (the shot from the side showed Coleen and the sister rolling their eyes briefly before C realised and switched to 'concerned' face and Janet grinning in a 'here we go 🙄' way). When Kim batted her away she snarled at her 'I'm TRYING to COMFORT you!' in such a nasty way. If she was genuinely concerned that it was going too far and that Kim was so upset she should have apologised and tried to stop it and bring the segment to a close. There's no way this level of upset came as a surprise to the producers, it wouldn't surprise me if like on the Kyle show Kim was kept with a couple of sympathetic crew members and thought it was going to go very differently.

Ofcom complaint link

frankie69 · 29/08/2018 20:16

Thank you! Grin

Will do that now!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/08/2018 20:20

I can't believe people are running to Ofcom over a load of women bloody arguing.
Can people not have an argument anymore.

Wittow · 29/08/2018 20:23

only watched the youtube clip. doesn't Lynda Robson look well!

Snoopychildminder · 29/08/2018 20:26

babyspider it’s more than argument when it’s 3 against one and the one person is crying and clearly vulnerable and clearly set up for entertainment purposes

DearMrDilkington · 29/08/2018 20:26

I've also reported it, hopefully something will change, but I doubt it.

Wittow · 29/08/2018 20:26

KW actually looked a bit deranged to be honest, mental health issues?

Rockbird · 29/08/2018 20:27

Linda Robson looks fab, she's been wanting to lose weight for years and she's finally done it. Good for her.

LR aside, I rarely watch LW and have never watched CBB so have no idea what the whole fiasco was about but just watched this on YouTube and it was horrible viewing, every minute of it. The producers should be ashamed of themselves.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/08/2018 20:28

Oh put like that fair enough., Snoopy
Ive no problem with being corrected.

9amTrain · 29/08/2018 20:29

@Awwlookatmybabyspider obviously they can but it was more bullying and ganging up than an argument. With the public watching. Are you saying we should ignore bullying? Hmm Because I'm not going to. I made my first ofcom complaint today so I'm hardly the type to complain about nothing.

Let's see how you'd feel if you were on the receiving end of it!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/08/2018 20:34

9 am. Read my comment posted @ 8.29.

yesterdaysgone · 29/08/2018 20:35

I thought Linda Robson didn't look well. I was shocked when i saw her

HolyMountain · 29/08/2018 20:37

I’m assuming the Producers knew KW would go off like a firework and were happy to see her distress and agitation.

What a bloody low rent show it is , up there with the Kyle dross.

longwayoff · 29/08/2018 20:48

I thought Linda looked very unwell. Relieved to know its just diet.

WaitroseCoffeeCostaCup · 29/08/2018 20:56

How horrible Sad

MindBodyChocolate · 29/08/2018 21:02

It was a complete shambles. LW obviously knew it would be a bust up but so would Kim. She chose to go on. That doesn’t of course excuse the embarrassment that followed and some very nasty behavior, but I don’t think it warrants a complaint to ofcom. Worse happens on Jeremy Kyle every day.

stressedtiredbuthappy · 29/08/2018 21:06

Didn't watch it but my thoughts on the people concerned!
Kim must be completely fucked up by burying her stillborn child in secret,

Colleen Nolan and Janet street porter are an absolute pair of twats.

Linda robson seems nice .

YouOKHun · 29/08/2018 21:06

She reminds me very much of a woman I know through a support group for Borderline Personailty Disorder sufferers

Just what I was thinking @YipeeKayakOtherBuckets. Not that we should dx people in a casual way but some of her past responses and this occasion are very much what I’ve seen too. As such I felt it was wrong to give her air time. It wasn’t nice to see.

Justmuddlingalong · 29/08/2018 21:11

"clarification" on CN's twitter page.

HelenaDove · 29/08/2018 21:14

oh wow Gaslighting 101

HolyMountain · 29/08/2018 21:28

I wonder how they’ll address it tomorrow because they can’t ignore it, can they?

MaluCachu · 29/08/2018 21:34

Be some sort of puke inducing,insincere bullshit..
