Roxanne Pallet on Jeremy Vine

Is anyone watching this? She says she's sorry, has worked on her issues etc. The other panellists are taking the view that they will judge her as they find her and that enough time has eclipsed for her to be forgiven.
Aibu to think that it's not appropriate for her to be back on tv, having done what she did and that how Ryan Thomas feels should be the primary consideration.

I don't for a second think she's changed, or she regrets her actions - I think she's saying what she knows needs to be said in order to try and get back on TV. It clearly wasn't a one-off, the BB thing: the amount of people who then came forward and spoke out about what a nasty piece of work she is … Ryan T was distraught, and even seeing him in that state, knowing it was because of her false accusations, she still didn't try and play it down: she kept going, twisting the knife, demanding BB remove him. Horrible, horrible person.

The Boy George thing is interesting. If it had happened in the time of social media, do you think people's response to him would be different?
Is he given more leeway because he was an addict at the time of his crime and we know that addiction makes people behave very badly? Or because he was the celebrity and the other person was unknown and it's easier to identify with people we think we know?

overnightangel Exactly. At school she was a huge bully, but once she got in the public eye she made it out like she was the bullied.
I don’t doubt she would have had some difficulty in her early years (I have a closer connection with her than I care to say - outing!) but she has been manipulative since school.

Also there’s an element of the boy who cried wolf - one day she may have a genuine trauma or assault and will anyone truly believe her story?

Sagradafamiliar · 13/09/2019 12:25

I feel sorry for people who have to work with her. They turn up to do a job but I'd be uncomfortable being anywhere near her unless I knew there was CCTV everywhere and not want to be left alone with her. She's a liar.

GabsAlot · 13/09/2019 12:27

She said last time she was on thats what she thought happened so is she saying it didnt now or what-manipulative cow

I was watching big brother agt the time and he didnt touch her-god knows what would have happened had they not film it-but they never shold have given him a warning over it

GabsAlot · 13/09/2019 12:29

Sorry piffle didn see yur post-thats what galled me the way she carried on and said he shold be removed because she'd been assaulted and still claimed it in subsequent inteviews

PrincessScarlett · 13/09/2019 12:37

I don't understand what the point was of having her on the show this morning. She barely made any input into the debates even when JV actively and repeatedly invited her to speak.

I'm assuming her appearance today is the start of her comeback and she'll appear on various reality shows/documentaries. I wouldn't put it past I'm A Celebrity to have her on there. I don't think she'll ever be a proper actress again as no one will want to work with her.

birdsdestiny · 13/09/2019 12:41

I think the boy george thing is partly that we view people who are paid for sex as somehow not as worthy victims. I think it was partly also because people really like boy george.

Biancadelrioisback · 13/09/2019 12:44

I was obsessed with this when it happened. I didn't watch CBB but I watched all the footage around this and all the reports and articles too.
I was furious for RT. And furious at her. In my opinion she is scum and should never be on the TV again.
I'm really pleased she was caught out. My DH was once accused of shoving a female coworker after she rejected him. Fortunately the place she said it happened had CCTV and showed her tripping over.

AgeLikeWine · 13/09/2019 12:45

”Wasn't she abused in her past, and went through some terrible events that have deeply affected her?”

I don’t believe her.

MissLadyM · 13/09/2019 12:46

Urgh she's a dead eyed liar and shouldn't be given any airtime. She's a vile person and so is that drunk driving cunt Ant but somehow he's still treated like a bloody superstar!

PrincessScarlett · 13/09/2019 12:53

I don't understand the love for Ant either. His ex wife has been treated appallingly by the press and fans and yet it was she who (allegedly) had to put up with years of crap from Ant.

Weezol · 13/09/2019 12:55

She according to many who know her and have worked with her is a dangerous person

I heard her described as a narcissist long before the word was internet fashionable. The people I know that worked with her found her genuinely disturbing. In their experience she was very plausible when playing the victim.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/09/2019 13:00

FFS Ryan not Rhys. Stop interfering autocorrect Angry

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/09/2019 13:02

Also the thing is. If some one does hurt her. People will be reluctant to believe her.
You’ve all heard of the boy/girl who cried wolf

Starlight456 · 13/09/2019 13:14

I didn’t see it but it will simply be a pr stunt in the hope she gets work.

In reality though this wasn’t one incident . Lots of other stuff came to light after the event.

GabsAlot · 13/09/2019 13:50

Yes indeed several former co stars said they got accused of things

TheJellyBabyMadeMeDoIt · 13/09/2019 14:55

After reading this thread (and being very bored waiting for an appointment), I have been researching Googling the events. I paid no attention to it when it happened because I loathe CBB and similar shows.

I don't know who either celeb was /is.

That woman has serous issues. Being interviewed by Emma (?) I'm assuming when she got voted out, she was saying she was sorry but there was no feeling that she was genuine. She tried to get in the excuse by alluding to past issues and her "fragility" but the host just spoke over her.

EdWinchester · 13/09/2019 16:19

I don’t get posters on here without an ounce of forgiveness. I too had to google as I wasn’t familiar with her or what has gone before. Looks to me like she has paid the price for her actions. To quote Jeremy Vine on Twitter -

There is something very dark and spiteful within people who still want to see Roxanne hounded and punished more than any criminal would be. I can only take RP as I found her, and say she seemed self-aware, penitent and more grounded than a year ago, and I wish her all the best.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/09/2019 16:26

Okay. Let’s put the boot on the other foot.
She makes her accusations. There are no cameras to prove otherwise. Everyone believes her not believing a women who comes forward about abuse is not an option. Ryan is shamed his career is finished. Would people be jumping on the just forgive and forget wagon then.

waggydog21 · 13/09/2019 16:27

It seems to have been brushed over that she’s done this to several other people, accusing them of hitting her backstage in theatres etc. This isn’t her first offence it was just the only one caught on tv. She has been behaving this way for years and years and I don’t believe she’s going to change now. She’s lucky she hasn’t actually managed to destroy anyone’s life, it’s vile behaviour that puts women in real violent situations at risk of being called liars. She is not an appropriate person to be in the public eye.

demelza82 · 13/09/2019 16:42

Regardless of her interview her career is over and rightly so so I think it's a moot point

Meanwhile actual proven perpetrators of violence against women in recent years are being terribly successful - see Ant Middleton (female and male police officers) , Liam Gallagher and Chris Brown

birdsdestiny · 13/09/2019 17:21

yu3561 · 13/09/2019 17:30

Well I watched and it was a publicity exercise... She behaved badly on BB she knows it , now trying to make amends it seems...it was all caught on camera at the time so there was no doubt who was guilty end of...

No one (sensible) wants RP to be hounded. I just don't want to see her on TV anymore. It's all very well for Jeremy Vine to say he wants to take her as he finds her, but it wasn't his life that she tried to ruin.

He is also missing the point that she is an actress. It's literally her job to convince people that what she says is real. I don't think her word alone is reliable when it comes to establishing whether she can be trusted.

I think people are so angry with her because apart from Ryan Thomas being really nice, we have a responsibility in life not to make things harder for other people and her actions have screwed over other women.
