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

I do suspect that Colleen is a nasty bitch as well

@nico There's no suspect about it. I've witnessed it more than once, sadly. One of the most arrogant, unpleasant and full of themselves Z-list "celebs" I've ever met.

9amTrain · 29/08/2018 17:29

I don't think it went the way the Loose panel anticipated (or it went exactly as they anticipated!). No comment on Kim's supposed anger issues, but the mob mentality was rife. Of COURSE they weren't going to make up and the producers knew that! Disgusting.

9amTrain · 29/08/2018 17:29

Yeah Colleen seems like she's lovable, relatable etc and sometimes it's believable but with this Kim saga I'm not convinced anymore.

MyBloodyMaltesersAreMelting · 29/08/2018 17:33

Are ratings really that bad ?

These grown women came across as bullies
I hope KW gets the support she needs

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 17:35

KW was wrong about Linda Robson as she hadn't been two faced she'd merely reiterated that CN had admitted to being two faced. If that was KW's understanding then it clearly shows she's not reading situations and is not of sound enough mind to be taking part in such shows. She is money hungry by the sounds of it. ITV are wrong, KW is wrong. All wrong and in bad taste.

Snoopychildminder · 29/08/2018 17:35

It was horrendous, such sad viewing.

I never watched CBB, so I can’t comment on that. But LW alone was a shit show. The producers should be ashamed of themselves. It was pretty much four against one.
Whatever KW faults are, it isn’t acceptable to air something like that. I vaguely remember reading something about her burying her stillborn in the Park, and clearly she has suffered (and still does) with that.

Such a step backwards in how we present mental health I thought at long last were trying to step away from that stigma, I thought finally we had got to the point where we treat people who are struggling with respect and dignity, not bullying.

I too have complained to Ofcom. I never have before, but this has made me feel sick. I wish I hadn’t seen it

EdWinchester · 29/08/2018 17:35

I don’t think any of them came out of that well. Apart from JSP.

ShadyLady53 · 29/08/2018 17:36

Kim’s behaviour was appalling and I think that she is quite an unwell woman. That being said I know three generations of the Nolan family and have been on the receiving end of some not so nice and totally uncalled for behaviour from three of them. I always found Bernie and Linda to be lovely people and all of the kids I’ve met too (I’m the same age as the older children).
That being said, I won’t name names but two of the sisters have been nasty and initimidating towards me when I was much younger and I’m afraid it does come across as bullying/alienating behaviour when you are on the receiving end. I actually think it could be a total lack of self awareness about how they come across or insecurity that’s projected outward but I could see how if you were living with that in an intense environment it could be pretty hard to deal with, especially if you struggle with emotional disregulation as I suspect Kim does.

NicoAndTheNiners · 29/08/2018 17:36

shatners. You’re not the first person I know who has met her/worked with her who has said similar.

HelenaDove · 29/08/2018 17:41

Shatners..................is she one of those that does the "do you know who i am" spiel.

I always remember a school reunion night, where they all turned up and hijacked the whole evening, I was friends with one of the older ones when we were at school.

HelenaDove · 29/08/2018 17:44

Im sorry but i take issue with ppl saying Kim is money hungry.

Its down to fear of poverty and not wanting to be back there.

Ive seen it with DM who was brought up in rural post war Italy She didnt retire until two months prior to her 80th birthday .

MyBloodyMaltesersAreMelting · 29/08/2018 17:45

EveryOneIsWingingIt I think she said that as LR wouldn't admit/deny she had said it , I may be wrong though but that's the impression I got

ShatnersWig · 29/08/2018 17:47

@Helena Never heard her use those words but her attitude is very much that way. Exceptionally two faced and will fawn round people if they are important and treat others like shit. Very much like Cilla Black.

SocialPiranha · 29/08/2018 17:49

Just watched the whole thing on YouTube and incidentally the comments are disabled. Wonder why? KW is a loose cannon but the rest of them were behaving like mean girls at school.

One of them forget who, asked KW “why are you here?” And she replied because I’m being paid to be here and they acted as though she’d just told them she drowned kittens for fun Hmm of course she’s there for money. Why on earth would anyone want to appear on a shit show like that unless it was cold hard cash?!

HelenaDove · 29/08/2018 17:50

Not surprised to hear it Shatners.

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 17:51

MyBloody what KW said is that LR said CN admitted on a previous show she was two faced about KW on CBB. We had just seen the clip, it was obvious what she meant-"To be fair Kim, Coleen did admit to being two faced" KW took that to mean LR thought CN was two faced. Completely different and incorrect.

LoviisaFuria · 29/08/2018 17:56

Never liked Coleen since she said she'd be happy to take her son to a prostitute for his sixteenth birthday. How fucked up is that?

Everyoneiswingingit · 29/08/2018 17:57

I have never seen a show where the host or one of the hosts attacks a guest. I always thought they had to stay neutral. Can't see Ruth Holmes acting that way.

MalloryLaurel · 29/08/2018 18:01

I've complained to OFCOM. Disgusting set up of an obviously vulnerable woman. Colleen looked as smug as she possibly could. Dreadful behaviour from the presenters. At the very least they should have been professional, rather than making a woman cry.

NoLogicInThis · 29/08/2018 18:07

Surprised so many people defending Coleen and her sister. From the clip they were the ones saying you have no talent and Coleen piping up as Kim speaks so it's no wonder Kim exploded.
Alright Kim didn't handle it well but you can't say she wasn't provoked

MissionItsPossible · 29/08/2018 18:08

SocialPiranha

To be fair, ITV doesn’t allow any comments on any Loose Women, This Morning or Jeremy Kyle YouTube videos from what I’ve seen. Though that’s because they know they’d get a pasting im the comments from people saying what they saw was low class, cheap and exploitative

mineofuselessinformation · 29/08/2018 18:14

I've just watched it.
It was like a pack of lions taking down a zebra. Sad
From the very beginning they baited her and even when she was very upset, no-one had the decency to draw it to a close.
