Ok, I'll admit I didn't watch it before and thanks to all the publicity have caught up. You can see from the footage that she is clearly lying, embellishing what happened. Then the following day she reiterates her claims and makes it seem like he full on assaulted her. What a fucking terrifying person. I'm at the point where I am thinking was the whole thing a set-up gone wrong?Surely no-one can be that cruel and stupid?!

relationship *she has

Imchangingmyname · 03/09/2018 18:32

saucyjack Because she is saying that the 'playfighting' triggered sensitivities over previous DV. If that was the case she wouldn't entertain it from anyone, not just Ryan.

The catching her with the ring thing too..it was actually Ryan who said that to her! It was the only thing he could possibly think could have happened, as he didn't touch her. I noticed on the Jeremy Vine interview she quoted it, something like 'he said himself he caught me with his ring'. She is a dangerous lady. She needs to address her personality flaws and admit that they are the reason she accused Ryan Thomas..but she won't, because she doesn't think she has them...

That’s utter bollocks changing.

Maybe educate yourself on the different between welcome and unwelcome attention.

I can’t stand her either, but let’s not take feminism back 50 years in time just because she’s a pain in the arse.

LetsGoFlyAKiteee · 03/09/2018 18:49

Do wonder if that's what the whole pool incident was about... Except it wasn't brought then

So many have said similar stories against her.. Not the first time she's done it.

Imchangingmyname · 03/09/2018 19:03

A 'pain in the arse' who could have completely destroyed a man's life?! Now who's talking bollocks.

Sorry, I hadn't watch CBB ever, and not BB since series 1.
Only seen it in the clip linked on page 1 to independent article. By first thoughts where he has hit her at least twice in the wide angle, close up at least made contact once.
Like a pp said he twice her size and a muscle bound man
I am dad, I would never do that to my wife, let alone a friend or an stranger I meet . I wonder if he would do that to a man.
Personally if he had done that to me, or a similar thing to my 18 year 13 stone RU flanker son, he would have got a bloody punch straight back on his blood chin.
Also if he knew he was so innocent why the blood tears and performance, Christ most people would have just no I didn't hit her, and lets look a the footage.
She has put DV victims at risk, the only people who do that are the shitty excuses of men who use their fist on women, sadly after this performance I wouldn't bet against Ryan hit a women, he obviously was happy to pretend to hit her.
Finally a the end of the clip as Roxanne walks away, Ryan clearly grabs her, she pulls away and chases after her, grabbing her arm the only times I have ever seen that happen in RL, is when a BF/partner has upset their girlfriend/wife and they have reacted badly and the man is desperate to calm her down or shut her up. Seems dodgy to me.

Sorry
she hasn't put DV victims at risk
Is what I meant.

StarWarsHolidaySpecial · 03/09/2018 19:29

Oh, it's that 'man' come along to tell women they don't know what they're talking about.

Hooray!

JaneJeffer · 03/09/2018 19:34

I saw Ryan Thomas on The Island, Bear Grylls programme. He was absolutely a total gentleman and lovely and comforting to everyone. They were extremely hungry and had very harsh conditions and I think if he was the aggressive type it would have come out then.

AamdC · 03/09/2018 19:38

And that's the thing all his. Ex Colleagues have said the same thing hes a nice giuy wouldnt hurt a fly etc, all her ex collegies have come out in defence of him, and said some pretty telling things about her as well as ex boyfriends etc why is that i wonder Hmm

TomHardysNextWife · 03/09/2018 19:41

Having watched it all today on catch up (and doing the ironing i hasten to add) I think she's a very nasty piece of work. She repeatedly said that he'd deliberately punched her 5 or 6 times and meant to hurt her. She's now realised the damage she's done to her "career" if you can call it that, and she's backtracking furiously. Not one word of that "apology" was genuine, and she just kept saying "I" "I" "I".... it was all about her, not Ryan. I'm angry she's being given any air time let alone the fees...... I think she had every intention of stropping out of that house over some incident, she's a professional victim and Ryan was simply her unwitting accomplice.

1HitWonder · 03/09/2018 19:42

She's a cow who deserves her career to be ruined after she tried to ruin his career. Silly little girl playing a very dangerous game!!

ChristmasFluff · 03/09/2018 21:06

Yeah, he punched her so hard her arm didn't even move.

Having been on the receiving end of real punches, they move your whole body. Just give someone a gentle but firm punch and see - they'll move a bit at the shoulder even then. She stayed totally still - because it was 'shadow' boxing, like one of the boys described - 'he's done it to me but I hardly felt it'.

You'd think in the furore if Ryan had a history of abusing people, they'd be coming forward, like all those who have been on the receiving end of Roxanne's manipulation, bullying and false accusations have done.

AamdC · 03/09/2018 21:10

Indeed Christmas.

BonnieF · 03/09/2018 21:17

I don’t watch big brother and until yesterday had never heard of Roxanne Pallett.

It’s obvious even to me that her appalling behaviour gives credence to a narrative that dishonest, scheming, manipulative women lie to get innocent men into trouble then play the victim card when their lies are exposed. This undermines women who genuinely are victims of abusive men , and makes it more difficult for them to be believed.

She is a disgrace, and she deserves to have destroyed her career.

ProbablyDramatic · 03/09/2018 21:29

My ex assaulted me a few years ago whilst we were away for the weekend. I had huge bruising to my side where he'd thrown me against the bed and a massive black eye where he'd punched me three times in succession. It was witnessed and the police were called, yet I felt at the time it was being blown out of proportion and wouldn't make a statement so it was dropped. Since we've broken up, he's went round saying that I tripped and hurt myself, then called the police on him. Apparently the police 'laughed' at my story and let him off scot free without even interviewing him. All total bollocks (he spent the night in a cell). He's made me out to be a 'Roxanne' and by her doing what she's done publically has added fuel to his version of events and completely undermined cases like mine.
She knew what she was doing, hoping to gain popularity and sympathy by jumping on the #metoo bandwagon.
I have ACTUALLY been a victim of this. Vincidictive and false accusation is NOT a symptom of a DV victim, ever. She is vile. I do not accept her apology. Thanks for setting back women who have been ACTUAL victims, Roxy. Sad thing is that it's done now and can't be undone.

enbh · 05/09/2018 09:02

I too have just watched this as I sort of lost interest after the launch night.

My word, she's a piece of work. She knew exactly what she was doing, manipulative and deliberate on her part.

I agree that this is a huge slap in the face to victims of domestic violence. I found it very uncomfortable to watch. She should have known better.

Good job it was caught on camera. Something she presumably failed to realise? Idiot!

ionising · 05/09/2018 18:34

What does the relationship with someone who isn’t Ryan have to do with the price of fish?

Erm I think you missed the point totally there.
The point being the complaint was false and didn’t actually hurt as much as she statedas she had had much worse with someone else. Hence being out for Ryan or attention.
Dear me!!! Hmm
