Is Helen broken because of the prostituting, or?
 

Do you think Helen is broken beacuse of the prostituting, or did she prostitute because she is broken? She seems very bitter and hateful. But I am very curious if this came before or after the prostituting. What is your opinion?

I think she done the prostitute thing because she was broke not broken :idc:




Being serious though...she apparently had a bit of a wild childhood, had problems with her parents, went into a foster home, then had her child at a very young age then couldn't afford her bills so turned to prostitution so yeah she probably was a broken person :shrug:

And a life like that was always going to leave their mark on her character.

Thanks, you have a lot of background information. It seems logical though, for someone to be as she is, it probably has roots all the way back to her childhood.

Helen has gone through a lot of **** during her life, but she still managed to come out of it a better human being than Danielle, the "lady"

Helen isn't broken she just can't get her own way by brute force and ignorance like she would normally do , she knows she is in a controlled environment and doesn't have the skill set to cope with being reasonable and civil so she is falling apart .

Here is an article that contains some background info about Helens life

If you click on it it zooms so it's readable

If you want to be an arse you can always justify it, there is never a reason to be mean and cruel .

there is no excuses no justification , some people are just born bad.
she was a hoe since early teens by the sound of it. she comes from normal parents with good jobs she hasn't had a hard life at all .
she just likes sausage and crack and was born with evil in her vains

You are correct. Some people are born rotten. Danielle is the prime example. She is rotten to the core.

How can anyone justify being awful because they had a crap childhood , so many people have had so much worse happen and have actually turned out to be reasonable human beings, it is no excuse and it's just about choice, she chooses to be vile in the present nothing to do with the past.

I think it's perfectly fair to assume that being a prostitute will more than likely impact your life in a negative way leaving you bitter and hateful.

I know that in no way excuses her behaviour in the house but that's not what the OP was asking.

danielle? shes not nasty or cruel though. she's just desperate for attention land slightly of her meds lol

I think that's a very big assumption to be honest Josy.

I agree with you. Even though Helen is very bad, Danielle may be worse.

I wonder how Helen was as a prostitute though. If she was nice, and welcoming, or cold and bitchy.

if anyone wants to pay me £180 for sex i wont be bitter i promise lol
roll up roll up come get some smeg lol

I don't understand how it is?

Did you see belle de jour? Have you read confessions of a call girl , I'm sure channel 4 did a programme about grannies being escorts and they were having a great time , getting paid £180 an hour would surely take the bitterness out if a situation let's be honest , she was meeting famous footballers and having 3somes and getting paid a grand a time , how would that ever make her bitter ?

:clap1:

I have known a few prostitues in my time, never ever found any of them bitter and twisted.

She might have regrets about it, can't be easy when your face js plastered all over the papers.
I just think she is a naturally nasty person when she has had a drink.

Have a think.......

Being kicked out of the family home and being persecuted by the public is excuse enough for me to be slightly unstable.

She has indeed, I prefer Helen any day over Danielle.

How can anyone justify being awful because they had a nice childhood? People can have some kind of idea why Helen turned away the way she has, but what is Danielle's excuse? Danielle is the vile human being in that house, not Helen.

I'm sure plenty of women do enjoy being prostitutes but there's also many that don't, some do it to feed their addictions, some do it because they are forced to, to pay of debts, I could go on but you seriously think those women would be having a ball? also Helen said in an article that she was getting £40 at one point..£40 for giving your body to a stanger would definitely have a negative impact on some womens lives.

So no I don't think it's a very big assumption that being a prostitute could leave her hatefull and bitter. You are also making an assumption that all prostitutes are living the high life with footballers from watching a tv show about it.

Where do children get the role models to copy these days? Eastenders, Neighbours?

If parents have to work all the time do children get to feel needed?

Does anyone ever think that they might actually be wrong? They might think that they just did not know what the right thing to do was, but thats not being wrong!!!

Sméagol I appreciate your contributions to all the threads cos that's what they are about but could you use different terms my pet. Some of your posts are very crude ( and I can use vile terms also but not as bad as you do):nono::nono::nono:

My opinion ( for what its worth) is that Helen should never have been put in the house in the first place. I think she has far far too many issues and I wonder if she had never had that dalliance with Rooney would she ever have made the final cut for the house. In the past women who had dalliances with footballers or some kind of scandalous affairs have appeared in CELEBRITY big brother (though god knows what makes them a celebrity)

So if she was a man who beat up his wife and blamed it on being kicked out of his family home and persecuted by the public I am hoping you would think that his past would not justify his actions now , because as an adult we have the gift of reasoning and the intelligence to understand how are actions impact on the people around us, and so seeing your wife black and blue should be reason enough not to want to hit her again.There is no excuse to be mean and cruel.

i feel sorry for hitler he must of had a hard upbringing. poor guy. and rolf harris another victim of a bad life.
of course people are never just bad people cause they are bad people lol

i dont get some peoples logic. so you get broke go be a prostitute earn some cash and suddenly its poor you. then you can do and say what you like and blame it on that lol
so someone is broke they mug some poor old lady and we are meant to think aww poor mugger he must of had a hard life. lol
crazy thinking. people are bad cause they want to be. no other reason.

crude rude nude all is gude

At least these women have a way of earning money and getting themselves out of debt I think that's quite empowering , being on benefits as a single parent with 5 kids would be worse , no way of earning extra money no way of paying an extra bill if it comes through the door .

All the above!!!!!

But she did it because she chose to Josy. She could have gotten a regular job or went on a training course and get paid while doing it. That's what most women do when they have a child to support.
My mother was deserted by my father and she had 2 young children to support all on her own with no maintenance. She worked in a factory for 10 hours a day 6 days a week to clothe and feed us and pay for child care because she wouldn't have earned enough as a shorthand typist (which she was trained for) to support us.
Helen took the easy way out. That was her choice and nothing wrong with that as long as she doesn't make other people suffer because she regrets it.
But why assume if it was prostitution that has made her like she is - maybe she would be the same anyway. It seems her parents couldn't handle her as a child - long before she became a prostitute.

I agree with all that but stand by my opinion that prostitution could potentially leave a women feeling angry and bitter, I'm not saying Helen is btw and i'm definitely not saying that her past justifies her behaviour in the house in anyway.

Oh I know she chose to do it Jet and I actually posted that nearer the beginning of the show in another thread, I think Helen chose the easy way out to pay off the little amount of debt she said she had and I also said I admire the women that go out and work a proper job to earn a living for their family rather than someone that turns to prostitution.

I am no way defending Helen at all in this thread btw, I was just replying to the queston in the OP that I think being a prostitute could leave you 'broken' and I personally think it's a fair assumption to make.

Don't throw up loads of bizarre hypotheticals... let's just stick to talking about helen eh?

I agree that it is a fair assumption. But I don't see Helen as 'broken'. Broken people don't usually have the energy or the inclination to go through a lengthy audition process for BB which requires determination and then go into the house with all guns blazing and giving the impression that they are 'all that'. Broken people don't have the confidence to gather a court around them nor the confidence to think they can mock and bully people and then say 'That's just me, I tell it like it is'. That's the way an arrogant person operates. I thinks she's an angry person who is inherently nasty, and like you pointed out, bitter. Life didn't work out the way she wanted so others can suffer for it.

Well we can safely say that somethings broken :idc:

Yes, her "Other people have feelings too and its not all about me" gene.

You know when it becomes obvious that there is someone who is truly affected and disturbed by events from their life them being on big brother and being torn apart suddenly feels like pulling the legs off a spider.....

She seems like a strong woman to me, but yes. She was definetely affected by it. I think counselling might help her.
