..I'm no fan of Angie's but I was no fan of hers before she went into the house and she hasn't really done anything to change that opinion since she's been there..there are just things about her as a person that I can't personally relate to and don't admire... and as a mother myself, there wouldn't be an ocean deep enough or mountain high enough that could have ever stopped me from being with my children..(ooo a potential song lyric there..)...her personality as well has always been over-bearing, dominating, attention seeking, controlling etc....
...but I have to say though in fairness to her, it's those very qualities as well as others that helped and contributed toward David becoming Ziggy Stardust and also in exploring who he was, both in his music and in his sexuality as well...they were complete opposites, I met him once, he was quite an awkward and introverted person..I'm sure that he wasn't anything like that when he died and Angie played her part in who he became...I have no doubt in my mind whatsoever that she loved him/that he was her world for 10years...she met him at a time when he wasn't the music artist that he became, there was no 'gain' from loving him and being with him/being his wife/supporting his music...other than she believed in him, she's always said that she had their child for David..because she loved him..and however toxic their relationship, I don't believe that she ever wanted the split from him....yes, she's made an income out of books/interviews etc but she didn't marry him because 'he was somebody' and that was a time when there was no Paul McCartney/Heather Mills situations, where devoting 10 years of her life to him personally and in his career was going to leave her with any financial security...so she had some kind of income out of talking about their life together, the good, the bad and the ugly....he didn't need to, he was David Bowie/Ziggy Stardust/Aladdin Sane/The Thin White Duke etc...there had to be some understandable bitterness there, she had nothing and she's not the first person to make her income in such a way and to 'bad mouth' and she won't be the last either....she has her perspective and her 'truth' about their marriage and he will have had his and much of it was a mutual thing that both agreed on, they were crazy people with a crazy marriage and crazy parents...
...no I don't think she was mourning a paycheck, she's had that paycheck any time she wanted it over the years because there has never been a time when his fans didn't want an insight into his personal life as well as he was such a private man...you could flip it and say, that she basically could say anything she wants to now so he would be even more of an income..?...but she's never held back anyway ...I believe that she loved him for 10 years of her life and probably for some time after that, I think that his death would bring many mixed emotions and I think those emotions were and are nothing but genuine ..would she 'milk it' ?...no, not in the way that has been implied at times..what she does love is attention/she's an extrovert.. so she'd be happy with that bit I'm sure but that's not milking it and not realising her emotions are real either, that's just her personality/character...some would want to be left alone at such news, some would want attention etc....if it was the other way round and if Angie had died and David showed emotion of his estranged wife of many years, would we be saying or thinking the same, that he wasn't being genuine...?...because it's not the years that they have spent apart without contact that are the only thing to focus on, there is very much that balance of the 10years they were together..a huge part of anyone's life...and all of these people in the media/on the radio etc saying...ughhhh, why is it anything to do with Angie...well in my opinion, they're the ones who are disrespecting David by trying to delete/disregard 10 years of his live and both personally and musically, 10 extremely important and significant years....
..I don't admire her as a person for many reasons but she has always, always been very brutally open and honest about herself and her life, there is nothing at all 'fake' about her so it wouldn't make sense at all to think that her emotions and thoughts about David's death were anything other than real...
