I wonder if you thought the same of Sam giving some of his charity to money, or anyone else who's done a fairly nice thing with it.

Not Sam selling his charity for some £££ :joker:

(that's a slightly less nice thing to do)

i honestly don't care what she does with her money, it won't change my impression of her. There are plenty celebs make a habit of saying how much the do for charity, it didn't make me change my impression of them either.

Craig, the BB 1 winner gave his winnings away, yes. Again, it was his money to do with as he wished.

How is she vile for giving to charity? I swear some people really are horrible if they begrudge her giving money to such an amazing charity, she never even bragged about it, she told people who ASKED how she spent her winnings.

No idea why Helen is being brought into this either. Obsession?

Amy Jade 21-07-2015 02:01 PM

Kazanne when Sam won and gave some of his winnings to charity and spoke openly about it and you praised him, why are you now slagging off Chloe? is that not hypocritical of you?

No way people would appreciate her for giving away money but people still have their opinions on her as a housemate and giving money to charity does not wash away her 2 appearances

vafunghoul 21-07-2015 02:03 PM

Cannot blame her. Perhaps she's doing this so more people can piggy back and also donate to that charity?

I can understand a celebrity who's had bad press doing this for positive PR and getting questioned but Chloe was genuinely shocked that she won. I don't see her as an attention grabber.

Ashley. 21-07-2015 02:04 PM

Shame on Chloe for donating to charity :fist:

Gillian-73 21-07-2015 02:54 PM

Having a lot to do with MacMillan over the last year, I thank anyone who gives money to them. Whether they keep it quiet or tell the world!!

Lmao no, I'm sure if Helen donated money to charity people would have a little bit more respect for her than before.

y.winter 21-07-2015 03:42 PM

Winning BB without an awful reputation like Helen, I don't think she needs it for some popularity/raiting thing.

"I'm definitely going to give some money to Macmillan Cancer Support – a charity that's close to my granddad's heart and something that my family has supported for such a long time"
No need to be cynical over it, the subject is definitely close to her heart and this is her way to thank the charity for (probably) helping a sick relative. Purely innocent.

Truth

ThriceShy 21-07-2015 04:48 PM

It has always been considered vulgar to boast about donating to charity. There can be no other motive than making yourself look good.

There is that famous old line "I do a lot for charity but I don't like to talk about it"

There is nothing wrong with donating to charity but Chloe telling us she has done it has sent her down in my estimation rather than up.

Tom4784 21-07-2015 05:16 PM

The reaching is real, it always surprises and saddens me how deep the hatred for certain HMs is even when the series is over.

Jfc, let it go, move on with your life.

Again how can donating to charity make someone go down in your estimation. The fact is she donated a large sum of her money to charity which is better than her doing nothing with the money which if she openly said she did she would be slated much more

Why does she need to tell us she donated?

Who does that benefit?

Telling people that you have donated 20 grand to charity is just the same as saying "look at me, aren't I caring and great"

Dignified charity donors remain anonymous.

It raises awareness for the charity plus she was asked about what she did with the money, why should she lie?

I don't think she should have been asked that question to be honest. Asking her was probably more vulgar than her responding.

If someone asked you in your everyday life how much you earn or what you paid for stuff you would think them incredibly rude. I certainly would.

y.winter 21-07-2015 05:34 PM

As one with a sister going through an awful disease, I can tell you that rising awareness and gratitude to charity is a natural thing to do, yes even publicly and still selfless. It means the world. Publicity or good image it's not the point, it's not always the truth. Don't judge.

Jarrod 21-07-2015 05:35 PM

This thread is pathetic.

She's doing it for her Granddad. Why shouldn't she be proud of herself for donating? I make no secret of donating to charity because I think it's a wonderful thing to do.

She only told because she was asked :shrug:

You're looking into it far too much, I suggest you get over the obsession with finding hate on Chloe.
