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

It’s a common enough strategy to get archived stuff taken down with a lawyer’s letter mentioning inconsistencies or other violations, I suppose causing a fight to have a thread removed from public view is cheaper!

I know of one tv “celeb” who regularly gets posts about herself taken down. She writes and polices her own Wiki page also. I find it a bit strange!

Is Kim wood burns twitter account real ? She said she didn't know how to turn a computer on

No, if you look at the top it says it is a parody account.

rainbowsandsmiles · 01/09/2018 12:09

Lola -there's spoof Kim Woodburn Twitter accounts out there, there's one out there which is horrible, sounds like it's her but sure it's not,even the name's a bit of a giveaway - Kim Woodbine?! FFS, come ON, but the amount of people piling in thinking it's real with their comments "OMG,you were treated terribly" etc - THINK! I worry about people's brains sometimes Grin

obviouslyperfect · 01/09/2018 12:11

Just noticed another Twitter account started that hasn’t been labelled, linked to a non existent cleaning site. Think it’s safe to say by the tweets that it isn’t official lol!

lola212121 · 01/09/2018 12:12

@obviously perfect Bizarre , who is behind the account ? The language has a startling resemblance to Kim 's . It's all fascinating ....

Roussette · 01/09/2018 12:14

That music is awful, truly awful. I think it's used on XFactor sometimes when it's battle time or whatever.

As for voting with your remote, as I said upthread, turning off will not make a bit of difference, no one will know except you! (unless you have a box attached to your telly and are part of BARB)

Because of this, this thread needs to stay. LW trawl through MN and you can bet your bottom dollar they are gauging public opinion as we type and what source best to go to as far as forums? Mumsnet of course.

I think if CN appears on Monday as normal (she says she is on her twitter feed) it will be a travesty. Hopefully the producers will realise that over the weekend.

obviouslyperfect · 01/09/2018 12:19

I think she will have been advised to make an apology even though she has publicised that she won’t talk about the incident anymore. (And blamed the producers!)

Whether she does or not, who knows. JSP said she was supposed to make peace but she didn’t. It’s another car crash waiting to happen.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 01/09/2018 12:22

Rousette, My point about remote controls earlier was not so much about showing the TV companies they're out of order, but more to do with refusing to sit through shit shows. I will not watch CBB, LW, JKyle, Love Island or any of those those of things, precisely because of this sort of stuff.

Roussette · 01/09/2018 12:24

But she shouldn't be on the show on Monday, I'm not sure what she can do to be honest. A heartfelt statement would be a start, what she said didn't go anywhere near enough. And the Producer should be doing that too. Whatever she says on Monday is going to be picked to pieces and all of them were complicit in this. They should all go off on a long holiday.

I expected so much more of JSP. LindaR not so much, she comes across as a bit of a drip to me.

OhDearGodLookAtThisMess · 01/09/2018 12:25

Wasn't that music used for the 'Old Spice' adverts back in the 70s?? Something very similar, if not.

I suspect that LW have not issued a statement because their position is indefensible. What can they say that wouldn't get shot down in flames as being a blatant PR exercise or lies? "We don't condone bullying in any form?" Yeah, right.

Roussette · 01/09/2018 12:26

OhDearGod sorry I misunderstood, and I agree with you. I do watch pap from time to time but not that sort of pap... and LW is included in the no go list!

WitsEnd2018 · 01/09/2018 12:38

I thought Kim was set upon and it was disgraceful. Classic bullying. Poor woman. JSP dressed up as a judge? Utterly pathetic. Didn't she used to be a proper journalist once?

SouthWestmom · 01/09/2018 12:44

The music was Oh Fortuna used by Greek choruses. Let me find a link

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 12:45

The more I think about it the worse I feel about it. I did watch LW at lunchtimes because it's on +1 when I get in from work and eat my lunch. I want something I can switch off mentally with.
I notice that they are always quick to apologise if a guest makes the slightest non pc comment or very mild swear word. How on earth can the producers justify what happened on that episode when they are so on it most of the time regarding swearing etc?

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 12:45

Noef it's been done

SouthWestmom · 01/09/2018 12:45

I'm wrong. Medieval.

I remember it in school when we did something about choruses

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 12:46

Go back a page Noef

SouthWestmom · 01/09/2018 12:46

Oh sorry I thought a pp was asking. I've read most of the thread over the past few days. Must have missed a bit.

Roussette · 01/09/2018 12:47

God knows what CN is on... her latest tweet an hour ago... is she unaware of public opinion?

Sorry Noeuf not Noef!

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 12:49

God knows what this announcement is. Maybe she is stepping away from TV? It's been on her twitter for 6 weeks I think.

Everyoneiswingingit · 01/09/2018 12:50

923 posts on this thread. Why isn't it Trending on MN or in Discussions of the day???

MarthasGinYard · 01/09/2018 12:51

Isn't it??

Roussette · 01/09/2018 12:52

That was posted on twitter an hour ago. She obviously hasn't got a clue and is just carrying on as normal
