Jet - the wife that wrote about the domestic abuse wasn't the mother of his children, they were only married about 6 months I think and never had any kids.

Kazanne - The wife you posted about was a previous one, not the one that wrote about the domestic abuse.

Kizzy - His current wife of 4 years is 43 not 24.

This was his marriages starting from most recent, I bolded the one that wrote about the domestic abuse.

I judge housemates the way they are in the house.

So I wonder what was different with that one?

I try to judge everyone based on what I see in the house.

Nice and fair post Zee:hugesmile:

No,I looked Livia there's nothing I could find.

google the ex wife.

Beso 15-01-2014 03:38 PM

the ex wife...Alison..

She was married and divorced three times before the age of 27, once memorably to comedian Jim Davidson




.

Beso 15-01-2014 03:40 PM

That liaison - made not so much in heaven but in some asylum for the terminally insane - lasted 11 months before disintegrating in a haze of booze and brawling.

"Yes, I've been around the block a few times," Alison tells you with an understandable edge of feeling in her voice.

Now, 10 years on, she has remarried and become a mother for the first time.

But her relationship with Davidson - which she describes as "the biggest mistake in my life" - could easily have found its way on to one of Don King's boxing promotions. At one stage Alison appeared with two black eyes. In his autobiography, Davidson says she gave as good as she got.

"That's absolute b***s," Alison says. "Jim saying I hit him is like O J Simpson accusing his wife of abuse. I hear Jim has stopped drinking now, but he was an alcoholic when I married him, and that says it all, doesn't it?"

It's funny when he does that Jamaican voice though.

yes its a joke
not a attack

I think the reason that people are supporting Jim is because they are judging him simply by his performance on Big Brother. I guess that most people aren't interested in drumming up some dodgy bit of gossip from the past and all ganging up and punishing him for it like some deranged online lynch mob.

It's a TV show not a wild west courtroom.

I'm not trying to make excuses for him, and I don't have time for wife (or husband) beaters. But he's admitted it and says his life has moved on. You can't keep beating someone up for the same thing if they've turned their life around.



I love all your posts as to this issue, full respect from me to you for them too.

If I had been someone who was holding his past against him, the things you have said would have made me think very hard and likely change my mind I believe,speaking for myself that is.
Especially the part of your last post I have highlighted in bold.
Really well said Livia.

Nobody's beating him up, we're having a discussion on a message board. He's not here to read it.
You keep saying he's turned his life around as if that is a non - debatable fact.
Putting everything from his known past together - wife beating,homophobia, racism, and his present state of chauvinist pig, he seems to have an intrinsically nasty nature which he is managing to curb. Good for him, but I doubt he has 'changed' all that much. After a lifetime of having views such as his it would be a miracle.

Yes it is,I'm willing to bet that some people who brand him all these 'ists' and 'phobics' have'nt watched very much of his work.

Even so, the crass sense of humour that has so often landed him in trouble is still in evidence as we talk.
‘Fat women?’ he says at one point during our conversation. ‘Can’t bear them.
‘I’m going to put thin turnstiles on theatres to keep them out. Otherwise they’ll each take up two seats and eat all the popcorn.
‘Women are meant to be slim and attractive. There’s no excuse for being that fat and they’re a burden on the NHS.’
If Davidson is trying to be funny, then he fails. Despite his protestations, he seems to be strangely out of touch — a throwback to another era.
:devil:

It's not just the accent though, is it? Talking about having spears in the back of his car, making the black protagonist (Chalky) in his story out to be dimwitted etc.

Probably sick repeating themselves tbh.

seanraff07 15-01-2014 05:15 PM

Is he actually? Thought it was just a rumour, I've never looked into it.

I've liked him in the house but if that's actually true then I'll not be supporting him, sick.

I don't recall a topic about Jim Davidson blasting fat people? Could you direct me to where this is?
