Both should have received a formal warning.
Sleeping with old men for money isn't illegal, soliciting yourself for money is however. So his comment wasn't illegal at all.
She insinuated he was a paedophile, in my opinion that was so far out of order, it was sickening. Bringing something so serious into one of her petty arguments to give her some cred is just not on.
I never said sleeping with old men for money was illegal. She never called him a paedophile, that was a word he brought into it. IMO both of them were wrong and it unfair to say that one of them should be ejected over the other.
Paedophile: an adult who is sexually attracted to children
15, is a child. She said he was sexually attracted to a child. I don't understand why you seem to have a different end of the stick to me?

Charley said "You sleep with younger men", it was Gerry who brought the 15 year old boy thing and the Paedophile word into it. What she said was wrong but saying would "sleep with old men for money" isn't exactly a light hearted insult.

Actually, it was Charley who said 15 year old men

x-stacy-x 22-07-2007 09:19 PM

ive made a complaint to c4 about her!!

by the way wat does "IMO" and "IMHO" mean??

Lauren 22-07-2007 09:19 PM

Charley brought up the age 15. Which is she then asked Gerry "Would it have been better if I said 16?"

She also said in the diary room that she could have said 12 and wouldn't have known the difference.

Pleading ignorance doesn't wash.

She is disgusting. And BB are disgusting for not dealing with it.

I also made my complaint to Ofcom and C4.

To think Emily was evicted at 3 in the morning for using the N word against Charley and she has made such a comment against Gerry and no action other than being called to the DR has been taken is outrageous!!.....What she said was totally slanderous and could have an effect on this guy's life when he leaves the BB House....Shame on u BB for just keeping her in 2 keep ratings up...where is the equality?.......

Although what Charley said is unfair, do you really think people complaining will make a difference?

Eventually though, they will relinquish Charley for Brian. BB want an ethnic minority winner, after the CBB fiasco (and as a black man, I do not wish to be associated with a fix!) the first twins to win, or a good looking bloke (Liam)

With Brian emerging strongly, we could see BB cutting ties with Charley and gathering momentum towards Brian, which they already have the latter and we know BB edit and fix things to favour their favourites.

I don't think they are ready to let Charley go just yet, but may do so in a couple of weeks.

the_chosen_one 22-07-2007 09:44 PM

Obviously Anti-Charley Logic is in full flow here, but I've heard several times Gerry brag about only liking "young boys". It's something which he has gone to lengths about to make sure everyone understands, that he likes younger people, and using the word "boys" is just making trouble for himself. "Boys" are male children.

Also, Charley specified she was unaware about the age limit, which is no great excuse, but considering Gerry himself has spent many an evening making sure people know he likes "boys", it was a mistake waiting to happen.

I am also ashamed at the actions of Big Brother.

Big Brother ejecting former housemate Emily Parr for saying one racist word which wasn't even, in my opinion, racially intended is unacceptable if BB is not going to eject Charley for accusing Gerry of a crime he didn't commit.

During the night Emily was ejected, Charley repeated the offending word a number of times but faced no punishment. She has also become one of the most volatile housemates ever in the history of Big Brother.

I am considering abandoning the programme now as the actions of Charley, over the whole series, are disgusting and I feel uneasy watching them.

I am disgusted with the actions of Big Brother and I am disappointed that as a long time fan of the show I now feel I may have to turn off.
My complaint to Channel 4... anything I could add?
Whats the link 2 email em?

Posted it above ^^

Personally I think people who complain to Ofcom and Channel 4 actually end up ruining the series of Big Brother for the other fans. Hopefully Charley will be evicted this week, if not then there's nothing we can do about it.

I am confused as to why people are making complaints to C4 and Ofcom - the views and comments made were from Charleys infantile and unintelligent brain and not the views expressed by C4 nor BB - perhaps BB bosses should put disclaimers before each programme to state this fact.

The comment itself is perhaps slanderous or perhaps homophobic in the sense that the comment was made as an attack to Gerry's sexuality in which Gerry has the right to make an official complaint to the police. Maybe on this fact that 'kicking' out Charley would be the correct thing to do and complaints can be justified.

But as we all know Charley cannot have an intelligent argument and will always use the lowest common denominater and says the first thing that pops in her head - unfortunatley on this occasion she was insinuating that gerry is a 'paedophille' by sleeping with underage boys.

Gerry has admitted in past programme that he likes his men younger but does not suggest under-age.

I do feel that Bb producers etc may have been OTT with Emily and a stiff telling off would have been more appropriate rather than 'kicking' her out of the house but as the Shilpa Shetty vs Jade Goody situation was still fresh then they made a knee jerk reaction to please Ofcom and shareholders then maybe the viewers.

What happened in January is a totally differerent incident to what happened yesterday, what made the race row even worse is fans that constantly complained about it and made a big deal about it.
Charley's comment is only one comment, which wasn't racial. Why can't everyone stop ruining the series by complaining. We all know that Charley is a nasty bitch. If Big Brother feel the need to interveine in the incident then they will. They don't need fans trying to interfere with the series and one off incidents.
