The pictures of Daniela Westbrook

[ontyekams]

The recent pictures of Daniela Westbrook has attracted a lot of negative comments. I can’t help but feeling sorry for someone who clearly has had issues to deal with throughout her life.

Do you find it is rude to say she looks awful?

Totally agree. She's clearly suffering. It's very sad.

She's alright. She still pulls. And she pulls wealthy at that.

She has charisma and personality going for her and good old fashioned working-class grit. People compare her with Katy Price, but I have more sympathy for Daniella as she did a lot of the destructive stuff while in the death grip of cocaine, evil substance.

As long term addicts go, she hasn't done that badly. Addicts that were going as hard and as long as her have ended up doing worse, believe it or not.

I admire her strength and tenacity.

I'm another one who wishes her peace. I can't see her coming to a good end.

I suspect the premature aging is partly down to her body being leached of minerals and poor eating absorption of vitamins.

Papers are disgusting but she needs money, so it may be kinder that they are willing to print stories about her. I wonder if she has an agent?

To be fair, the photographers don’t just happen to come across her when she’s out…

Wow embarrassingly posted on the wrong thread about formula feeding!! Trying to get it deleted

She looks absolutely terrible. Marilyn Monroe?! Bloody hell. Too many years of taking drugs. I'm afraid I can't be sympathetic with that.

I feel sad that such a troubled person has needed to resort to extremes in order to try and gain something in their life. Yes it’s self-inflicted but there but for the grace of God any of us could have done something similar if we’d had any of the dreadful experiences Danielle has had.
The lack of empathy on here is sickening. And no, I don’t condone drug use but I can try to understand why someone becomes an addict.

I wanted to look like Her in her heyday

Very sad.

We can't even make lips fuller convincingly or get rid of stretch marks and scars or give Katy Price a decent set of knockers... And yet reconstructing someone's skull, facial nerves and muscles (in an aesthetically pleasing way to boot) is just another day in the office for the doctor.

There's bone grafts involved, implants and transplants of soft tissue, powerful and toxic drugs for the rest of one's life - and no guarantee of a favourable&pleasing outcome.
So I'm not surprised that her face hasn't been "just" reconstructed.

She was a victim of child sex abuse and has had a very sad life as an addict. I wish her well.

I feel so sorry that she is as unhappy as she is. She was a beauty and had such a possibility for a good quality of life.

Is she could have used her money to help to heal her past traumas a little with therapy and a stable family of her own.

The price of fame.

So sad.

That's actually a myth. Obviously these particular photos are staged, but the whole "if a photo comes from Backgrid it means it was staged and sold by the celeb" thing isn't true at all (and iirc originated on Tumblr in the 'skeptic' communities, which are basically groups for fans to get together and talk about how much they hate the wife or girlfriend of their favourite male celeb, like Georgia Tennant or Sophie Cumberbatch- a really common theme in the fandom for any popular male actor is the idea that his wife or girlfriend is just using him for fame, ergo any pap photos were staged by the woman).

I work in the media/entertainment and have sporadic dealings with Backgrid, they are one of the largest celeb photo agencies out there, and buy photos from thousands of photographers worldwide. Yes, celebs certainly do work with paps (though usually that involves celebs tipping off the paps as to their location, celebs actively being involved with selling the photos is less common) but Backgrid is kind of the automatic first stop for any freelance pap with celeb photos to sell.

If you look at Backgrid, they have plenty of photos for sale taken on red carpets for celebrity events, where the pap photographed every celeb who attended that event and walked the red carpet. So pretty obviously not a case where each individual celeb on that red carpet called up Backgrid to sell photos of themselves. I had a look just now and the most recent photos on Backgrid are the Rolling Stones at a press call (photographers from every agency present); Elon Musk; and Jennifer Lopez. Jennifer Lopez possibly might be calling the paps for attention, but does anyone really think a celeb of that level is actively selling photos of herself online to make a few thousand dollars?

The idea that you can tell if a photo is staged based on whether it's on Backgrid or not is just one of those weird Internet myths created by terminally online fandom people who don't work in or know anything about the industry. The reality is, it depends on the situation, and you can't always tell. Plenty of photos on Backgrid are not staged, and plenty of photos on other photos agencies like Getty Images, Wire Image, or Rex Features are staged.

Poor woman. I'm horrified that these pics are out there. I was convinced they'd been doctored (they probably have, to a point) but how did she get here? Fame is not something I'd ever suggest for mine. My dd wants to forge a career in music. There's no way I'd be happy for her to be in the limelight subjected to this shit.

Better to be a great session musician who gets to tour and play rather than the utter toxicity that seems to face artists in the firing line. I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy

I’m firmly of the belief most people mess up and youth is wasted on the young. Most of us would make at least a few different choices with the benefit of hindsight and some more life experience behind us.

Some make bigger mistakes than others. Some people’s mistakes are public and some are visible - like Daniella.

I wouldn’t use the word ‘awful’, no. I would use words like tragic. She’s owned up to her mistakes and hurt herself more than anyone. Imagine looking in the mirror being a constant reminder, must take a toll on a person so I say good on her.

Wish her well.

Totally agree

Well I think she has a decent body with good legs and ( fake) boobs.
She is honest about her face but good on her for highlighting drug abuse.
As we age we all look increasingly rough and whilst most of use can do something , it's clear she can't.

And this kids is why we don't do drugs.

I guess before filler, botox and tret more of us looked rough as we age.

Her baby was born addicted from her drug taking
.Her child did not deserve to be born like this .

I don't understand this, I'm a 34D and look nowhere near that size.

Her poor kids and family. It’s not just the addict who suffers, the whole family suffers. I am sure they have gone years of having their hopes raised with her many rehab stints. Her mother looks years younger than Daniella and her daughter is the absolute image of her mum in her heyday.

I think it's worth remembering the world she found fame in was pretty misogynistic and sexist, on top of what ever childhood abuse she was coping with.

Stories told by Gail Porter from the time sound horrific, the pressure of laddette culture plus lad culture etc. a number of women from that time really suffered from the pressure of it all.

Can’t disagree with that.

I don’t think Daniella deserved to be the victim of sexual abuse age 7 either.
