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?
Poor Lexi.

So aibu?

I would too if I looked like that!

If you watch the video OP - she just looks like she’s having fun - so does her daughter - and actually she starts the track up and then goes to give the mic to her daughter and bring her daughter out in front of her while she vanishes off. They both look lovely and is if they have a great relationship 😊

You name changed to start the thread, so clearly you knew it was a pretty nasty one

I actually don’t mind her normally, I just thought it was a really weird thing to do and I felt sorry for her DD having to share the attention with her mother.

My uncle is like this. Throws big parties for his children then makes himself the centre of attention. He's a full blown narcissist.

Actually I've now watched the clip and her daughter looks mortified 😬

My mum snogged my 21 year old boyfriend at my 18th. It was mortifying

Me too

It was a big cringe 😬 but she does look fabulous. Was her daughter trying to run away? 😂

I take it back, the daughter does look a bit annoyed! And the pushing the People out of the way... I guess she was a bit drunk.

I thought this was going to be about Amanda Holden ruining your daughter's 18th.

You're being unreasonable and clearly just don't like AH

She’s paying for it! I think fair enough. That said I will be doing it the opposite way round as I want my teen dds to party at my 50th!

Eeeeeek.

Can't even imagine the cringey horror of that.

Some parents are always in competition with their offspring. Bryan Ferry even married his son's ex-girlfriend which I think is weird af.

Daily Mail articles are literally designed to cause feelings of disgust. A lot of people enjoy that feeling and keep going back for more because it gives you a sense that you’re better than.

Hope you’re enjoying yourself.

Fair enough - at least you took it on the chin!

I think she wouldn't have her career and be famous if she didn't have the personality she has. She can't switch it off and be someone else just cos you think she should.

She was 'the centre of attention' for just a few minutes, not for the entire party.

It's a shame that you've bought into all the guff about women's sexual competitiveness, and creepy that you're applying it to a mother and daughter.

She’s not a regular mom, she’s a cool mom!

On a serious note I think it’s fine - she’s having fun, her DD was having fun - her mum is a celebrity after all, a fact I imagine everyone knows, she probably didn’t mind showing her mum off.

I really feel very uncomfortable when women of a certain age are critiqued for not behaving the way people THINK a woman her age should behave.

I also think if it was for example a male footballer at his son’s 18th kicking around a ball with his mates - think David Beckham - everyone would say what a great dad he is.

As a side note - why is Murder on the Dancefloor suddenly being played everywhere?! Did I miss something?

It's a video of a bunch of people having what looks like a great time. It's great that Amanda Holden and her daughter seem to get on and have a great time together. The daughter doesn't look embarrassed or awkward at all.

It's another DM attempt to shame an older-than-DM-acceptable women for dressing how she wants and having a great time.

I am utterly baffled by people not attending their own child's 18th?? Why? Did they not invite you? Were you not hurt?

Were you at the party, OP?

@KarenNotAKaren MoTDF is played at the end of the film Saltburn to a very eye catching performance by the lead actor, as he dances (naked). It's sparked a revival of the song and a trend to copy the dance on online videos.

I don't think the OP is being nasty at all.

I think it's bad form to host a party for your DC and then try and hog all the attention. Why on earth would a woman in her 50s want to attend a teenager's party and then post videos of yourself doing sexy-dancing and acting pissed. Just fuck off.

But that's AH for you.

Why shouldn’t she though?

Shes successful, looks AMAZING (though I suspect she never so much as sniffs chocolate in order to have that figure) and has overcome a lot of hardships in her life, including rampant and consistent misogyny, to get where she is.

I also will probably get sneered at but I think she’s talented, and she’s good fun on BGT. I saw her in a west end show ages ago (I think it was called Thoroughly Modern Millie) her performance was outstanding

As a side note - why is Murder on the Dancefloor suddenly being played everywhere?! Did I miss something?

Murder on the Dancefloor is played during a memorable scene in the much talked about film Saltburn.

I feel a game of misogyny bingo is in order

• Woman is jealous of pretty daughter ✔️
