Who still respects Emily?
 

Thought I would do a poll to get some idea of how Emily will be treated following her ejection from BB. Obviously this was inspired by the thread comparing Emily to Jade Goody.

Any ounce of respect I may have had for her has completely gone now.

People are judging far too soon. We haven't even seen the footage yet!
If she did say it, she was incredibly stupid. I still like her though

I had no respect for her anyway. What she said, however, was idiotic, not malicious.

That's what I kept saying, until I read further information.
At the end of the day BB took necessary action. I had gone off her anyway, so there's no question about me liking her now.

We have seen the transcript though.

No, we haven't seen the footage but we know pretty much exactly what happened, literally word-for-word. Unless it's all a hoax lol.

Yes you've seen the transcript, but you haven't seen it coming out of her own mouth.

And when I hear it I'm not going to hate her instantly.

I agree with Ash. All sources say she said the n word. I think we can take it as read that is what happened. She had to go.

I had little respect for her when she claimed on launch night to be so intelligent. Then she tricked Ziggy and I started to like her. Now, I've no respect for her and the series is well shot of her.

Why does it make a difference. All sources now say she said the n word. There is no way that she can spin this.

I think for her to "lose respect" she needs to have it in the first place and for me Emily hasn't done anything which warrents any respect therefore she hasn't lost it as such.

The transcripts enough for me, there's no need for channel 4 to put something that has not happened.

Here you go Soph. She used the n word. There is no need to hear her say it.

I can't believe anyone could still respect her after this.

There was clearly no malice in what she said, it was stupidity, not racism. So yes, I still respect her, albeit a little less than before this occured.

Not everyone has the same mind and views that you, you know

Yeah, and that is my view so do one!

It's not about that. How can you defend her when the evidence is right in front of you.

Do what?
Respect other peoples opinions, I repect all of yours

Because the evidence doesn't point to racism?

Hear hear! :hello:

I've lost respect for her because of her stupidity, not cos she's some nasty racist. She's just an idiot instead!

Maybe I didn't phrase that right, but that is my view. And I accept other peoples views too. So don't have a go at me because that is what your post felt like.

No, it doesn't necessarily point to racism (although the term used by Emily is undeniably racist). However, it does point to ignorance, idiocy, stupidity or any other word along those lines. Emily fans, are you not disappointed that Emily failed to prove that she's some student genius?

I think Emily will regret what she said and I don't believe from that one comment we can label her an outright racist. I think she said a silly thing and of course it was a mistake but up until that point no signs pointed to her being an actual racist. We cannot say if she is or isn't for certain only Emily herself will know. I think Emily herself will look back and feel very stupid for what she said having watched the whole Shilpa thing. But the point I think Emily should of been pulled up on was when she lost her cool and was about to throw a glass/cup at Ziggy....she never actually did it but there was for that split second intent and aggression.
