To ask why exactly is Holly Willoughby so disliked these days?

[Flauwa]

No I’m not Holly or a member of her pr team.

I just don’t get why HW is so massively disliked these days. She doesn’t appear to have done anything wrong. But her presenting career has obviously taken a huge knock.

HW wasn’t the one messaging underage boys. We have no evidence to suggest she was aware of it. So why has she basically been banished?

Is this another example of women paying for men’s mistakes?

Im on a group chat and a nasty-ish comment was made about Holly and I just don’t get why.

I agree. I find her vapid. Her wide doe eyes look of innocence irks me too, she’s like a doll, all plastic and fake.

I don’t know her, never met her, but she was at one point everywhere and that was the impression I got.

Jumping the queue at the Queens funeral certainly didn't help, showed massive entitlement. Associated with Phil hasn't helped i bet either.

Oh I'd forgotten about her not calling out a sexual predator, allegedly her 'best friend'. How could she have not known? I know who all my friends are shagging and a few work colleagues too...

Is she disliked? Maybe because she's disingenuous, comes across as fake but entitled enough to cut a queue.

OP, you might feel differently about her if she'd broken your neck?

Oh she knew alright.
That's why she dropped him so hard.
No one' s going to admit knowing what a celeb groomer got up to as it would have been career suicide but she'd done that already by pushing in to see a dead body

I can't stand her voice and I'm gutted she'll be hosting Strictly

Honestly I thought she'd done less work recently following the stalker stuff

For life? I’m surprised. Jail sentences are normally so lenient in this country.

She’s not-is she? 😩

Apparently so..... 🤬

I would prefer HW as Strictly presenter than Amanda Holden that’s for sure.

I doubt very much that she’ll be hosting Strictly. Even if the BBC wanted her for it (and I bet they don’t), would she want to host a show that’s clearly on its last legs?

Yeah this is absolutely what did it for me.

I don’t want to watch her on Strictly. Let’s get some new blood, surely.

She got done for dangerous driving and braking someone’s neck/back can’t remember which all she got as punishment was 6 points!

Because the media like to build women up and then brutally take them down? And the public get suckered in by it.

I think she probably reminds a lot of people of the popular, pretty girls at school for who ( on the outside) things came to really easily.

And maybe brings up things that they haven't confronted about their past where they felt looked down on and unimportant by the "populars" - so she is an easy target

OMG that made me laugh, he's a complete wanker, no remorse, a lying cheat and plays the victim, decent my arse!
She knew what was going on it was her best friend, threw him under the bus and then covered her arse.

Well I always wondered because I quite liked her on telly. She's charming and pretty and funny, or at least I found her so. But people "in the game" say she's nothing like that in real life.

Re Strictly, I'd love Alan Carr to present it!

No, she knew very likely the whole time. Lots of other people on the show did.

She only dropped him once her career was at stake.

I always think popular presenters have a lifespan and she peaked but probably we'd all seen enough of her. I didn't like her queue jumping or that she turned her back on Phil. That's how I saw it anyway.

Something about her makes me cringe, or gives me the ick, not her personaly, just her presenting style seems a bit patronising.
But I have nothing against her, shes just not my cup of tea.
I do think a lot of the public hate towards her is excessive though and rooted in misogyny.
It’s ok just not to like her, without having to villainise her to justify not liking her.

I didn't know she was disliked (nor did I know anyone messaged underage boys inappropriately).

People in her sort of job often have a heyday and then fade. Dislike is a bit strong for someone who has done no harm but we all know how the media love to build people up and then bring them down.

She was charged with driving without due care and attention. It’s still not great as someone was badly hurt but it’s no where near as serious as dangerous driving. And by all accounts she stopped and got help, admitted it, was remorseful etc.

She wouldn’t have had to go to court if she pleaded guilty by post.

So I don’t think she can be loathed for this incident as most people have some sort of RTC at least once in their life.

Her gushing about ‘I have never been so proud of my best friend’ when Phil came out on the other hand. That was cringeworthy.

Didn’t she tell him she’d be by his side forever and ever too? That aged well 🤣

Possibly. But that’s almost worse. ‘Here Holly, just read out this pile of old sycophantic shite if you want people to still like you.’ She would have been better riding it out I reckon. To be honest, the only time I ever saw her on TV was when I went to my late mum’s house. I always thought she came across well. I certainly didn’t have any negative feelings towards her. But the overblown sincerity on that message was hard to watch. She’s a terrible actress😅

It was the "Are you alright?" Skin-crawling line/speech on This Morning to the public when it all blew-up!!

Her and PS BOTH got too big for their boots!! (& yeah the mistake ref: losing the Queen was awful too).
He also made a scathing remark about a woman live on a help-line call to the programme, she must've been mortified! I was FOR her.

Holly Willoughby was so sickly sweet. Glad she went off screen. Really hope she doesn't get Strictly.🤞🏻😩

Queue gate, comes across as fake, smug and thick, really hope she doesn't get the strictly job as it will ruin the programme
