Is it me or is Amanda Holden a total narcissist? (I know that word gets thrown around a lot on here but I think she absolutely is one). What kind of mother wants to be centre of attention at her DD’s 18th Birthday bash? Confused
Poor Lexi.

So aibu?

@ThatIsOutrageous

her and her daughters are ALL equally beautiful.

why do you find that hard to comprehend?

Yes but Lexi is even more beautiful than her mum. Amanda will hate that.

The modifier isn't needed at all as Amanda isn't beautiful, either in looks or personality. Her face is created I've never worked out Chris Hughes, surely he could have done better!

She's the most self centred person I've ever seen.

I’d love to see what you look like

The women who come on and make such disparaging remarks about other women…it does make me wonder how they are raising their own daughters and if those daughters have low self esteem because they live in a home that sees women who look after themselves of low value

Amanda Holden posts pictures of herself showing her bare bum and other shots she terms "cheeky". She posted a picture of her daughter on Twitter in a red dress dressed up like Julia Roberts as Vivian in Pretty Woman. I think the daughter was nine or ten at the time and her husband whipped it off Twitter faster than Amanda could do her zip back up. She said in an interview that she liked her daughter's name so she could be known as Sexy Lexie. This is years and years ago. Highly inappropriate and nothing to do with self esteem.

@KarenNotAKaren same, all gob about others appearances behind a keyboard but would be interesting to see how their appearance compares 😁

PaperwhiteTheFriendlyGhost · 21/01/2024 22:57

@KarenNotAKaren not at all relevant as I'm not the person under discussion. I can still have an opinion regardless of what I look like. Clue: my face is my own.

And the problem with this is???

I believe she confirmed it was comfy Crawford she dressed her as! Were you there when her husband ‘whipped it off’? Interesting as he was the one who posted it.

They must be absolute stunners to say Amanda Holden looks awful!

Well it is relevant because you’re casting your opinion on someone’s attractiveness and there’s really nothing worse than a hypocrite.

AH’s face is her own. Whose face did you think she had? So she straightens wrinkles out - so fucking what. So do I, so do lots of women!

Oblomov23 · 21/01/2024 23:09

She's too much, she can't even give her dd centre stage, she has to have it for herself. So sad.

PaperwhiteTheFriendlyGhost · 21/01/2024 23:10

@KarenNotAKaren Why are you so angry and so invested in Amanda Holden? You sound like a superfan. You're going to get people here who disagree with you on all kinds of things, stop getting so stressed out about it. You'd actually laugh if you saw what I look like. I'm not sure we should post pictures however.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr · 21/01/2024 23:14

Shes just having a pissed dance, no big deal, everyone was probably drunk.

I think you're right but she's very polarising and something as simple as this will bring on the comments.

I’m invested in stopping women shitting on other women because they don’t conform to how an ‘older’ woman should be. I have a 10yo girl who is exposed to this kind of language and misogyny outside of our home and it’s fucking rank that in 2024 we are still being nasty about women’s appearances

NoMoreFalafelsForYou · 21/01/2024 23:32

KarenNotAKarenWhy are you so angry and so invested in Amanda Holden?

Angry?! Lol, these sleb threads as I said earlier are always batshit.
Where do you get angry from from that poster?
It always descends into "are you her?" Are you her PA? Do you lurve her?!" 😂
The investing comes more from the ones who just can't help coming across as either jealous, bitter, unhappy in themselves etc

Yesss brava and same!

If it was Alison Hammond or Fern Britten doing exactly this instead of AH the comments would be different.

She's dressed in a trouser suit and does a three second sexy move plus semi-pissed dance floor walkabout at her daughter's 18th party. But she's slim and conventionally attractive as well as confident and sexy, so jealousy and pettiness shows up.

People saying she must begrudge her daughter's beauty is shocking. Warped instincts.

AH is v witty on the building show with Alan Carr. Doesn't take herself seriously, loves her family.

oh come on.

As I'm sure you're well aware there are many posters on MN who love to feign horror at the sight of fat female celebrities.

Your contribution on this thread is absolutely perplexing.
For my part, I made zero comment on Holden's age or appearance. None. But you came at me, calling me bitter and jealous! I have no idea what your actual incentive is. Because attacking people in such a hostile way, just because they find some random celebrity to be ostentatious and annoying, is bonkers behaviour!
Also noteworthy (whilst you're paradoxically waxing lyrical about female solidarity), I've never experienced meanness on MN remotely akin to that which you aimed at me on this thread.

MrsSparkington · 22/01/2024 00:38

Omg I loved the video. Someone posted the entire video on TikTok and I think it's great!

Might try to replicate it at a do I'm going to next weekend!

TheOriginalEmu · 22/01/2024 00:45

BringItOnxxx · 21/01/2024 14:50

Don't see the issues, unless AH gets on your t**ts generally.

I don’t care for her at all, but I don’t see what she’s done wrong here.

as an aside I went to my daughters 18th and her 21st.

lovinglaughingliving · 22/01/2024 00:52

I think she looks amazing, tbh they all look like they're having a great time!
No need for all this horribleness!

Forbreadalone · 22/01/2024 01:19

I love her. I think she looks fabulous and has a great attitude to life. She comes across as really fun and hard working. I’m sure her daughter thinks the same and loved dancing with her!

Downunderduchess · 22/01/2024 01:58

The posters saying they wouldn’t attend their daughter’s 18th birthday party, why?? Isn’t it a celebration? You might not stay the whole night but surely you would put in an appearance and join in the fun and maybe leave them to it. It looks like AH was having a fun time, getting the crowd going, don’t see anything wrong with that.
