To think Cheryl Tweedy is talking nonsense

In the Sunday Times interview.

Talking about her 19 month old son.
“I would spend every breathing moment with him and not do anything else”

Really?

I mean I adore my two children. And genuinely enjoy spending time with them.

But “every breathing moment”, no. And not do anything else? No

Why do these celebs do this?! Always so OTT about parenting. Is it to make themselves feel better or to make others feel inferior??

@borderline11

Totally agree, but that’s not the case here. How can anyone fail to see PR bullshit.

Well possible. Even probably. But I'm not talking about Cheryl particularly and don't know why anyone does, she's just some woman!

FearLoveAndTheTimeMachine · 15/11/2018 11:05

Although Cheryl is fiercely private, Liam posted another snap of the pair together on Instagram a few weeks after changing his profile pic.

fiercely private

😂😂😂

EmeraldShamrock · 15/11/2018 11:38

I love her and agree she us private but her face, bless she has ruined herself.

crispysausagerolls · 15/11/2018 11:46

It’s bollocks though isn’t it? She could spend every second of every day with him, but instead decided to spend time producing a god awful song and video, and we’ve all been subjected to it 😫

hiphopchick · 15/11/2018 12:17

There are some very unpleasant, vitriolic, and horrible posts on this thread. Why do people have to be so spiteful?

@angelomysterioso

Fair play to her though, she picked the richest of the lot to get pregnant by. She’s set up for life now!

What a silly comment. She is rich herself!

@gingerrogered

Cheryl is a woman of extremely limited talent who has made an awful lot of money out of exploiting her personal life, projecting an image which by all accounts has very little to do with reality. She was finished until Ashley Cole cheated on her, and she's deliberately created a 'pooooor lil me' persona she has ruthlessly exploited since then as it appeals to a certain type of woman who makes up her fan base.

What a spiteful post.

@borderline11

So people are quick to defend someone who was convicted of a violent racist attack.

@PrimalLass

SHE WASN'T. Violence yes, racism no. There was no evidence of racism. How many times does this have to be said.

Agree. Why do people seem so intent on labelling her as a racist? She's not. She displayed a bit of thuggish behaviour in her youth, but then (as many posters have said) many people weren't angels in their youth. Some male celebs have quite strong criminal records, and have even been in prison. Far better to attack a young mother though eh? Nice easy target.

Shame on you people. Hmm

I only got 4 pages in, I cant believe the toilet saga has been brought up.

It was years ago, she did a bloody stupid thing, got punished for it and hasn't done anything like it since. Can't people make mistakes, take the punishment, learn from it and never act like that again , or do you drop a major clanger like that and be branded a racist thug for the rest of your life even though it was one isolated albeit major error of judgement and you've never done it again?
As for what she said, so what, she is fortunate enough to be able to spend most of her time with her kid, maybe even with a nanny's help. She's made her fortune being a pop star because people liked her enough to buy in to her etc. Good on her, If I was in her position with my two when they were that age I'd spend as much time with them as I could to, why because I could.

If it makes her feel better for what ever reason, so what? Does it make you feel inferior OP? If so may be you need and anyone else feeling inferior about this should may be concentrate on feeling better about yourself rather that picking a bun fight with Cheryl Tweedy over something gushy.

hiphopchick · 15/11/2018 12:33

Exactly what @kickassbitch said. It's unfathomable that people continue to bring up what happened many years ago (in the toilet with that woman,) and actually extremely lame and pathetic. Wink

mumto2babyboys · 15/11/2018 13:28

I do wonder why she gets so much hatred. I would never buy any songs I'm not a fan but yeah racist comments are unnecessary

Also her poor face, hopefully it's just cheek fillers that will wear off

Can't be nice having signed to promote her new song and then everyone commenting on how bad her surgery is. She didn't even need anything done she was obviously very insecure to have messed with her face so much!

motheroftinydragons · 15/11/2018 15:39

I thought she across OK in that interview. I don't like being apart from my babies either.

Her new song is absolutely bloody dreadful though. Very odd!

AngeloMysterioso · 15/11/2018 16:10

She isn’t actually that rich in her own right. Selling singles/albums isn’t a big earner anymore so musicians get most of their revenue from touring which she hasn’t done. Her songs are written by other people so she won’t be getting royalties either. Her biggest gigs were probably L’Oréal and X factor and she hasn’t done those in years. Liam on the other hand- fucking loaded.

LittleLionMansMummy · 15/11/2018 16:17

Why is it so hard to understand, people aren’t attacking anyone’s parenting/work choices. Nobody could give two fucking hoots what she does. Get off your high horse and read what the threads about.

But that's exactly what they're doing. Anyway, I thought you'd flounced off?

mumto2babyboys · 15/11/2018 16:44

Come on, she is rich

boopsy, she's had cheek implants, an eye lift, botox and lip fillers. None of which are known as side effects of pregnancy.

Agree, no excuse. Lots of people come from that environment and don't end up beating up the lowest status service worker they can get their hands on. If she'd had a drunken scrap with another drunken clubber up for a right I might be prepared to overlook it. But attacking a sober, middle aged female toilet attendant is low.

I can't believe people are like 'It's ages ago, it's irrelevant'. Cheryl would not be allowed to hold positions of responsibility like teaching, nursing, being a childminder because she is of unsuitable character to this day, of course it's relevant to how people judge her.

hiphopchick, could you say what else she has based her career on? What would you say her talents are? It's not singing, because she's autotuned to fuck. She's also failed to have any musical success in any country outside the British Isles where she doesn't have wall to wall coverage sympathetic coverage every time she breaks a nail, nobody is interested in her music. It's not presenting, because likewise when she's tried to do it outside the UK without her PR machine she's been sacked as not up to scratch. Plus the last series of the X Factor, she just sat there and said nothing.

It's all PR and projection of an image and false persona which sells for her. Even the stuff you've said yourself carries that through. You haven't said for a moment you love her music or TV presenting. It's all been about liking her because you think she's nice and has been really badly treated by men.

It's all PR. I mean, she was on Radio 1 today banging on about how it annoys her when people chew on the bus. Do you seriously believe this shit?

mumto2babyboys · 15/11/2018 18:56

There was a trend at the time for toilet attendants being overly pushy and in your face and you had to pay them out of politeness even if you didn't want anything

Seems to have died out now as has the general toilet assistant trade as people don't want to deal with beggars on club toilets on a night out

She was employed but most of her money would have come from tips or people having no change and paying by card

Think it's a good thing you hardly ever see them anymore as they were underpaid and treated badly and this is not America with valet and concierge everywhere so most don't see the point in a toilet attendant pushing used good in your face when you just need the toilet.

mumto2babyboys · 15/11/2018 18:57

Agree she has gone ott with the surgery and looks awful

Gingerrogered · 15/11/2018 21:14

Oh that makes assaulting them okay. Then? Hmm

For all the people saying her personal life and image are not what sells - apparently, she is only going to get into the top 20. It's not in the top 200 streams for spotify, it's not selling on iTunes - apparently, the only thing that has got it into the top 20 is the fact it is being streamed loads on YouTube, because loads of people are streaming it to see what she's done to her face!

ThunderInMyHeart · 15/11/2018 21:50

Rewind. A club in GUILDFORD. I think that’s by far the biggest issue here.

ButchyRestingFace · 16/11/2018 07:44

Okay, so I have finally seen the photos sheeple are talking about.

She looks like she’s morphing into Michael Jackson in the video still, which is more than a touch unfortunate. Confused

PrimalLass · 17/11/2018 10:28

Her biggest gigs were probably L’Oréal and X factor and she hasn’t done those in years.

She's still doing L’Oréal.

ForalltheSaints · 17/11/2018 11:08
