Do the Loose women really get paid this per episode

£5000…for an hour?!

I read it today in an online paper…imagine that, if you did only two shows per week (worked two hours per week) that’s 480 grand a year?!

Well are we saying that only poor people are thick. Because there are thick celebs. They can still be thick and make money you know. Jade Goody made millions. She was so uneducated she didn't even know how racist she was. Or was she just "playing her character" too.

You're under the impression that racism is solely within the remit of the uneducated? As there is little to support that theory.

No idea but I just googled it and it says Stacey Solomon earns £3000 per episode and £12,000 for Instagram posts. Who on earth is paying her that much, and why? She's as thick as mince.

Harsh.

I have no feelings towards but she was a young mum, has got herself out of a situation and earns a load of cash. Don't think you can call that thick.

I don't think anyone is fine with what some make celebs and footballers are paid. People are always protesting about them. ... But the thread was about Loose Women.Confused

Please link a few threads where people are protesting what male celebrities or sportspeople get paid. As people are ‘always protesting about them’, it should be fairly easy.

So if no well paid celebs can't possibly be "thick" as some have said, what does that make the rest of us. I presume none of us aren't thick but we don't get the kind of money they get. Of course they can be thick and earn good money, or even if they're not they pretend to be because obviously that is who people look up to and aspire to be? Either way it's sad.

Nobody has said that.

Other people’s intellect and/or wealth doesn’t make you anything.

I presume none of us aren't thick but we don't get the kind of money they get.

Some of us do and some of us don’t. Such is the nature of capitalism.

Of course they can be thick and earn good money

You can be. Generally if you are well connected, have some other skill (sports, music, dance, etc) or are very good looking.

or even if they're not they pretend to be because obviously that is who people look up to and aspire to be? Either way it's sad.

A bit of a non sequitur.

Also uneducated /ill informed is not the same as thick.

I don't know about on here but in general ..... Footballers pay especially has always been talked about, everyone moans about their ridiculous pay don't they? I'd be shocked if it wasn't.

But can you link any other threads where women are singled out for being overpaid? This is the first thread I've seen. But in general it's men's pay that get moaned about surely?

I didn’t say women were being moaned about constantly. I said It’s also interesting that this thread is focussing on a handful of relatively well paid women in entertainment, as opposed to the likes of Ant and Dec or, even better, multi-millionaire footballers. We’re apparently fine with men earning ridiculous amounts of money. I made no mention of other threads.

If, in the context of MN (the ‘we’, in the above quote), you have any evidence that people are always protesting about what male celebs earn, then please share it.

But I don't know of other threads where women's pay was criticized either. It's a one off thread and we should be able to discuss it without the oh so predictable "but men's pay doesn't get criticized" .... Like I said, maybe not on here but in the real world it's men who come under the firing line for ridiculously high wages....and rightly so. On the other hand I never read about womens pay being moaned about.

Again, the comment to which you responded clearly stated that it was about this specific thread. Not ‘other threads where women’s pay is criticised’.

You can discuss whatever you want. And I have the exact same freedom to observe that it’s only happening to women. Your unsubstantiated claims that this isn’t the case ‘in the real world’ have no relevance to that observation.

Rosenotred · 03/11/2022 17:22

I like loose women but think the topics could be a bit better. My favourite on the Panel are Janice, Judy and Charlene.

I don't often get a chance to sit and watch it anyway!

Blankscreen · 03/11/2022 17:25

The slebs all earn a fortune.

I can't bear watching their faux concern about the cost of living crisis for normal people.

I fail to see your point. You haven't shown us any other threads where women celebs pay come under fire. As if on Mumsnet women would be coming under fire more than men.Confused

I didn’t say there were any other threads where female celebs’ pay come on fire. As has now been stated multiple times.

You seem to have some difficulty understanding anything that’s said to you. In the context of you claiming multiple celebs are ‘thick’, that’s rather ironic.

You saud that we all seem to be fine about high earning men. We aren't. I would just like you to link to any threads that say we are. So far you've failed to do.

I can't understand the confusion. It was you or so someone else made the statement that if it was men's earnings no one would comment.

When I said that men's high earnings were always coming under fire I was asked for links to threads. I said not necessarily on here but in general, much more than women....So I asked for links to threads where any other women had come under fire for earning a lot. None were forthcoming.

I just thought it was a ridiculous statement, that's why I commented.

Nobody is confused apart from you. You would benefit from actually reading posts before you respond.
