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

Clearly the Nolan two were very anti Kim and there would be no softening from them. JSP was meant to be impartial (although clearly wasn't in the end, and the judge's outfit was an outrageous and stupid stunt), and Linda Robson might have been on Kim's side more, had Kim not snapped at her and done the finger-waving and batting away when she attempted to console her (who knows if that was genuine or two-faced).
So I'm not sure that all 4 on the panel were necessarily ganging up from the start although that's how it ended up.

What KW said at the start was nothing compared to CN's attack. KW came on to hear what CN had to say and she said nothing, but made faces at the audience, encouraging their whoops and boos.When KW says what she went through in the CBB house and there is silence and the audience are listening, CN breaks it with a nasty "Awful,....what you went through....us" with a smirk on her face. Is that the behaviour of someone who wants to make up ?

Kim says (in quite an aggressive way, actually) god you’re grasping at straws there ohdeargodlookatthismess 🙄

I’ve read all your comments. You are determined to pick a fight on this thread just as you accuse Kim of doing in the studio. The difference is she was provoked and upset and her rape as a child was mocked, whereas you want to provoke and upset others.

Why are you so aaaannngry? Are you going to cry? I’ve heard it all before, we all have etcrtc

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:08

And remember CN is a host! This is the overriding thing for me. They weren't both guests invited on to a neutral show. This is a place of comfort to CN, sat there with her sister, colleagues and a supportive audience.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 01/09/2018 11:09

The whole "Judge Judy" set up shows how dummed down and pathetic the whole show has become and why it should either be taken off the air or people should vote with their remote controls and stop watching. They tried to trivialise and use (misguided) humour to address a feud that was clearly far more deep-rooted and serious than anyone realised. Or maybe they did realise. Who knows? Anyway, it uncovered a level of trauma and upset in Kim that should not have been for public viewing. Everyone mis-judged it, and heads should roll for it.
I can't see the Nolans coming back from this, to be honest, and nor should they. And Kim should stay off TV for now, and get some support for the issues she has.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:11

I also hate the way it has not been mentioned on This Morning or Loose Women when usually this is exactly the type of topic they would discuss if it had happened on another channel. They even read out comments from Mumsnet for another piece.
Shit happens but it's the way it's dealt with that makes all the difference.

Whaaat? Where on earth do you get that from? I have stated, quite calmly and in a measured way, some facts and observations. Who am I picking a fight with?

severaltimes · 01/09/2018 11:13

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess

And now, called out, you backtrack.

More than the LE hosts did.

Now you’ll attack me for daring to say something.

It’s a familiar enough pattern.

severaltimes · 01/09/2018 11:13

There we go 🙄

severaltimes · 01/09/2018 11:14

You’ll start crying now

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:16

What? several What are you playing at?

obviouslyperfect · 01/09/2018 11:17

I think severaltimes is making a point about being purposefully riled up OhDearGodLookAtThisMess 😂

Very clever.

severaltimes · 01/09/2018 11:19

Oh, I was just about to cue the Exorcist music.

Don’t rise to any baiting though folks, some posters want the thread taken down for obvious reasons.

Viviennemary · 01/09/2018 11:22

Why would posters want the thread taken down? I suppose it makes uncomfortable reading for any of those actively involved in Loose Women but I can't see why it's an issue for anyone else.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:26

It's not Exorcist music. A pp enlightened us upthread but i've forgotten the title already!

knittedwoollenmouse · 01/09/2018 11:26

I suppose the friends, family and fans of the perpetrators of the bullying would like everyone to stop talking about it.

Not nice being exposed I guess.

severaltimes · 01/09/2018 11:27

All the LW people read here, they lift their subjects from here. This isn’t a good thread to have on the internet forever for them and mn is one of the easiest forums to get something taken off, just start a fight and they delete the whole thing under the “this is getting heated” tag.

Meanwhile, still no apology.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:29

Here it is.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:31

The only way to move on is to acknowledge that they made a poor decision, that their hosts acted ungraciously and unprofessionally towards a guest who was invited on the show.

severaltimes · 01/09/2018 11:31

I’ll be being reported now, so goodbye if my posts or me gets pulled!

Please ensure the thread stays up! There are copies of the posts on other sites so it would not be beneficial for mn for people to surf on it to a broken link either...

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 11:33

There is nothing that contravenes guidelines in this thread though so why would it be pulled?

longwayoff · 01/09/2018 11:37

Get a grip women. This thread is about women undermining other women. Remember?

Viviennemary · 01/09/2018 11:38

I can understand that they want this incident swept under the carpet and forgotten about so when it's all died down they can come out on their programme all mealy mouthed and innocent and talk about how wrong bullying vulnerable people is. Dreadful!

WhiteHartLane · 01/09/2018 11:44

Don't watch the show and haven't rtft but I did see Wednesdays clip and it was uncomfortable viewing.
I am on KW side though and did feel so sad for her. She was led to believe Colleen wanted to have her say first when this wasn't the case. The panelists all played their part but the Nolans were defenately the worst.
Is Linda Nolan a regular panelist or just bought on to back up her sister? Have any of them appeared on the show since Wednesday?
I own Kims book and it is a heartbreaking read.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 01/09/2018 11:46

Genuinely interested to know where I've baited anyone or started a fight.
I've quite mildly pointed out where someone was stating speculation as fact and suggested that one of Kim's opening gambits could be viewed as a little on the aggressive side.
Am I not allowed to do any of that without it being insinuated that I'm one of the LW team or trying to get the thread pulled?
