Helena precisely what went through my mind when watching the clip.

Smallhorse · 30/08/2018 00:29

Kim has issues.
How cruel were the Nolans?

MissEliza · 30/08/2018 00:30

Hasn't CN got a teenage dd? She's a great role model Hmm.

HelenaDove · 30/08/2018 00:33

Get rid of Loose Women

Bring back Mel and Sues Light Lunch (was on Channel 4 20 years ago)

Sue Perkins has class.

Tw1nsetAndPearls · 30/08/2018 00:33

If she has somebody else doing her social media they need sacking

i wondred about that There was a guy a few years ago who got made redundant from his pub/restaurant job just before Christmas and he got onto the pubs Twitter account and started tweeting random parody type stuff It went viral at the time.

Maybe the person running Coleens account doesnt like her much either or is someone working at the TV studio who she has pissed off.

Tw1nsetAndPearls My good God that is utterly unforgiveable, what is she 14?

81Byerley · 30/08/2018 01:06

It's on youtube.

MakeItStopNeville · 30/08/2018 02:03

The only people who are being manipulated here are the poor sods that watch this crap and take it seriously.

TheRealHousewife · 30/08/2018 05:39

LW producers knowingly put KW into a bear pit. That poor woman KW clearly cannot emotionally regulate (trauma based) and the outcome was never going to end well.

The producers were gordy and baited KW. They set her up spectacularly for her to fail.

CN is very much passive aggressive. Smirks, under breath comments, asking KW what’s she’s famous for etc. To have her sister there’s too was clearly for CN to be supported. Who was supporting KW? Totally no one.

They isolated KW and ganged up on her when she was clearly showing signs of acute emotional distress. KW was totally bullied. The panelist’s lack of insight in to KW presentation was jaw dropping.

I don’t think any of them could be accused of possessing much empathy or intellect. As for those tweets 😮

TheRealHousewife · 30/08/2018 06:18

I have just made my first official complaint to Ofcom.

Today Kim’s should receive a unreserved apology live on TV.

I bet Kim is still suffering this morning. That kind of emotional distress does not just dissipate. All that show has done has reinforced Kim’s fears and vulnerabilities. Kim has created her hostile exterior to keep her safe in an unsafe world (as she sees it). CN et al have proved to Kim just how unsafe it is for her, thus validating her acute response.

FabulouslyFab · 30/08/2018 06:19

Another vote for Kim - I also have no idea how CN won that series of CBB. Must have been a pre arranged result.

TheRealHousewife · 30/08/2018 06:19

Thus reinforcing the behaviour!

BirthdayBlueBo · 30/08/2018 06:40

Her sons twitter comments are also vile even when he was attempting an apology about the ‘fruitloop’ Comment he suggested that the fault lay with Kim’s agent as if ‘she’s got mental health issues she shouldn’t be allowed on tv’.
🤔
Be interesting to see if LW address this issue in any way this lunchtime but the cynic in me thinks they’ll be too busy rubbing their hands in glee over all this publicity to actually reflect and admit any fault.

Helmetbymidnight · 30/08/2018 07:25

They were all horrible weren’t they?

I don’t think Linda robson gets off Scot free either. She was the one going ‘you’re an angry person etc etc’ wasn’t she?

As for the Nolans... dim-wits.

longwayoff · 30/08/2018 07:45

Just read the Mail account. Full of the usual annoying pics, none of which show Linda, only KWk, the 2 Nolans and JSP. Has she asked to be removed from whole sorry mess? Hope so.

Katjolo · 30/08/2018 07:56

Coleen Nolan and that sister of hers in particular were awful! Absolute bullies! They should be forced to apologise today!

BirthdayBlueBo · 30/08/2018 08:01

I’m also expecting the complaints to be significantly higher this morning as the 448 would have been provided by Ofcom at close of play yesterday.

PaulRuddislush · 30/08/2018 08:02

I'm on the fence here. They're all awful (with the possible exception of Linda Robson). They're all media savvy enough to have predicted the outcome and could easily have avoided it by refusing to participate.

All this fawning over Kim Woodburn is ridiculous, she's just as unpleasant as Coleen et al. The complaints to Ofcom are equally bizarre, reminds me of the Russel Brand/Andrew Sachs debacle that thousands complained about even though only about 20 people had actually heard it.

DidimusStench · 30/08/2018 08:08

I don’t know why people are surprised. This program should always have been called Harpies R Us. It’s misogynistic, virtue signaling, ego stroking, tabloid bollocks delivered by a complete shower of shite.

ShatnersWig · 30/08/2018 08:11

@Paul You don't have to like KW. But it's not fawning over her to find that incident unpleasant and not acceptable as entertainment on a national TV channel. It was clearly a set up (villainous music et al). The programme should have been put out to pasture long ago for its hypocrisy and sexism and homophobia from certain presenters. I think the complaints to Ofcom are warranted. I understand your comparison with Sachsgate but the difference here, I think, it that Loose Women compounded their behaviour by uploading it to YouTube and their Twitter feed and pushed it as entertainment afterwards. The BBC did not do that with Brand, The attitude displayed on Twitter by CN's "management team" is out of line. This is someone employed as a bloody agony aunt for the Mirror!

FabulousTomatoes · 30/08/2018 08:13

Not excusing CN or LN for a moment but this episode reinforces my view that fame creates a form of arrested development; it’s very difficult to grow up and develop maturity when in the public eye. It explains why so many famous people, already insecure and borderline narcissistic, behave like big spoilt babies when crossed! The Nolan sisters haven’t seemed to move on since they were at school, or developed any form of empathy for others. My teen dds behave better than they do.

GreenTulips · 30/08/2018 08:13

and could easily have avoided it by refusing to participate

I am assuming Coleen didn't say her part first was part of her refusal to participate?

None of them came out looking good, but there's plenty of previous football of Kim saying Coleen was pleasant in the house.

Maybe Kim has been watching CBB on repeat and is now convinced how she viewed Coleen was different to what was shown?
