Claire's weight

[Jamie.]

I have read through some of the older threads/posts here and noticed a lot of hatrid for Claire's weight.

I have no idea why people hate on housemates because of their weight, before you say, yes they are in there to be "judged", but seriously...

How many of you can honestly sit there and slag someone off because of their weight without feeling the slightest bit guilty...

It isn't at all fair.

Rant over.

[Jake.]

That's what people do, I don't get why either, I get the odd joke but seeing it sprawled across the forum just gets too much

[emmetmcl]

It's very annoying, but you can be guaranteed loads will come in here now and start bashing her

[Black Dagger]

Oh, people still do this, this is still a thing, this warranted a thread?

[Marcus.]

i know why bring that up like

[Jamie585]

It's pathetic. People judge people on their weight and use it as an excuse to abuse them, It's ridiculous and very shallow.

Well said,it's not as though any of us are perfect.

[Stu]

To be honest I have noticed a lot of vulgar, over the top posts about weight on TiBB. An attack on a housemates character is fine, do that, but find some better language and arguments beyond "fat cow". It's childish.

The white noise under-three-words post wonder hits back with a riveting against the grain number that cuts to the bone.

[Me. I Am Salman]

yes

[Nedusa]

Good job she's still not in her Pop group or they'd need to change the name to Reinforced Steps...!!!!

[Jords]

Happens all the time on TiBB, quite a shallow forum sometimes. They get called ogre and all sorts, just ignore it.

[smeagol]

i was watching last nights show and thinking she is very pretty such a shame you dont lose the weight
there isn't that much said about her she is hardly a becky.
what i'd like to knowthough is why do people like that fat grose slob razor yet if he was female he would get tons of abuse on here , weird he can get away with it.

Yeah, she has a very pretty face

[flamingGalah!]

And without fail the usual juvenile suspects come in & try to be cool, note I said 'try'... :sleep:

i know why do that like

[flamingGalah!]

i know why do that like

Because they are extremely immature, even for their young age & they think by trying to act 'cool' it will make them more popular... :idc:

[Stu]

It's 'Fabulous TiBB' and it sucks. There is a really monotonous zeitgeist of buddy up back slapping, .gif over content, a droning manifesto of what's 'fierce' and what's not [usually relegated to a small handful of media personalities/pop faces and not much else] and a you'd-be-stupid-to-deny-it clique mentality that permeates and drags down almost every thread.

Apparently making vulgar comments about others obesity is in [even though most of these people are bound to have a few friends and relatives who would be considered overweight]. And most of the teenage boys would kill to be black and female, seemingly.

[Jack_]

I have just made a joke in another thread but in all seriousness the comments that aren't jokes are a little bit OTT.

there is no need for it

[Kazanne]

It shows a small mind really with nothing intelligent to say.

[Vanessa]

There's more to someone that their appearance. It's what's inside that counts.

I think Claire is a beautiful woman with an amazing ammount of talent , she is a great mother and wife so if she isnt perfect size wise who cares!

[Stevep]

She must have gone something pretty traumatic to put on all that weight (probably the Steps fallout). She used to be pretty fit though.

But yeah, i agree petty comments regarding her weight are just small minded.

[flamingGalah!]

Not really, she's very happily married with 2 kids, a lot of women (& men) put weight on when they are settled & content...

[Shaun]

an amazing ammount of talent

let's not get ahead of ourselves

And many keep it down, especially those that are in the public eye. You can tell she does not possess that much confidence either, whenever there is any conflict she retreats and refuses to speak her mind.

Matter of opinion i guess. I could be totally wrong but i just get the impression that she's been through something draining, lost confidence and has turned to the comfort of food.

But she hadn't been in the public eye for years. She did of course drop a lot of weight, then it slowly crept back on again, as it does to many, many people. She is a wife & mother first, celeb second...

I still think she looks great, she's very pretty & if she's comfortable with her weight I don't see why it should be an issue for anyone else.

I very much agree with your thread and Razor has also been subjected to the insults from some people on here. I mean, who are anyone to judge/rub it into their faces about their weight? If they're happy with the way they look, I tip my hat off to them and yes, I did come across some nasty ones too through previous threads. I won't point no fingers though. It's disgusting what some of our GBP resort to when it comes to insulting our own kind of people. It's not like any of these HM's have said or done anything to any of us personally. I don't see why people feel the need to lower themselves whether they like the HM's or not.

I never said it should be, i merely offered a reason as to why i thought she put on the weight.

Tbh, I'm not entirely sure why you seem adamant on disputing my opinion. It's just an opinion. Neither you or I can prove one way or the other. I'm not saying my opinion is categorically the reason why she put on the weight, it's just the impression i get through certain actions of hers and things she says.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Making fat jokes is not morally wrong, it's just immature. So people need to stop acting like it's a criminal offence

[Conzors]

i know why bring that up like

'big girls are beautiful'

[flamingGalah!]

The bit in bold wasn't aimed at you, just in general...

Well I'm not disputing your opinion (though isn't that what a forum is all about?) I'm just saying from what I know about Claire, )I was a huge STEPS fan back in the day & have followed her over the years), so am just stating my opinion too, not sure why that is so wrong?? :conf:

[erinp5]

Wait to you see her hair ,it looks like the perm and set my granny used to get.
I saw the picture on the live tweet feed.

[Marcus.]

'big girls are beautiful'

yep they are conzors

Are some people really mistaking this thread to be about this years Claire?

It's obviously a thread about Claire from Steps.

[Sophiee]

[JoshBB]
