Big Brother bully Alex targeted by vandals: Hated housemate has her windows smashed and abuse scratched on to her car
Former Big Brother Housemate Alexandra De Gale has been targeted by vandals after being sensationally booted off the show.

Alex, 23, rated as the most unpopular housemate in the Channel 4 show's history, had the windows of her house smashed and more abuse daubed on her BMW.

This is the second attack on the fiery single mum's home in Croydon, Surrey.

It was first targeted while she was in the house with vandals keying 'fake', 's***' and 'bitch' on her car.

Vandals struck again yesterday while she was holed up in hiding at a hotel.

A gang of up to half a dozen louts pelted the house with stones and eggs before fleeing.

A police spokesman said: ‘We have received reports of criminal damage and are investigating.’

The attack comes as the former housemate defended her behaviour, claiming that she is a ‘nice person’.

In an interview with Heat magazine Alex insisted she was not a bully and did not intend to intimidate other housemates by talking about her ‘gangsta friends’.

'I am genuinely a nice person,' she said, 'I have been compassionate to people in the house.'

‘Gangsta's a term we use where I come from, to say someone is on your wavelength. I don't mean like a gangstas with a gun. It's just an expression.’

Hundreds of people complained to media watchdog Ofcom about her alleged bullying.

Viewers also saw her being reprimanded by Big Brother after she swore at her fellow housemates after one of them - Rebecca Shiner- burnt some chips.

'I'm a strong character, not a bully. I'm very sensitive about people putting me down, it wasn't the first time she said something to me. But scary?

'That's just me with a hot head on. I would never hurt anyone,' she said of the incident.

She revealed that she has received death threats since her appearance on the reality TV show.

Being number-one target is quite dramatic. I'm genuinely a nice person.

‘But I won't let this destroy me. I'm not sorry for who I am.’

She also admitted that she feared for her seven-year-old daughter's safety.

'I haven’t grasped the full extent of it, but what worries me is my daughter.

'There are nutters out there and I’m not underestimating anyone, but the safest place for her is around me.”

She said that she agreed with the producer’s decision to remove her.

‘I don't feel I threatened anyone but I think it was for the best.

‘Seeing what's been written I don't know whether I would have been strong enough to come out to boos.

‘But I don't agree with Big Brother removing me. I was misinterpreted, misunderstood.

This is the problem, people complain about what she did/said but then drop down to her level. These sort of people are just as bad IMO.

The behaviour of these thugs is disgusting. Alex's behaviour was disgusting also, but that is no excuse. I don't believe for one minute her excuses about why she calls people 'gangstas' though.

Why is Alex so suprised this has happened? BB housemates are generally seen as a bit of a joke by alot of people.

People either love big brither or hate it!

Am I the only one who thinks this is old news? I read it in a magazine last week :conf2:

I don't agree with it but I certainly don't feel sorry for her - after all, if she hadn't of acted the way she did, it wouldn't have happened. Her behaviour was the catalyst.

bigbrotherman 01-07-2008 02:00 PM

Everyone should take responsibility for their own actions. Alex's behaviour was disgusting, and it was absolutely right that she was removed from the house. But acts of violence like the ones in the article are the fault of the idiots who commit them. It is their own pathetic attitudes that are the catalyst for their own pathetic actions.

bigbrotherman 01-07-2008 02:29 PM

I said I don't agree with it so I don't see what the point in you saying all that is. And no it's not them who were the catalyst - if she hadn't acted like an idiot, it wouldn't have happened. Therefore her behaviour was the catalyst.

bigbrotherman 01-07-2008 02:49 PM

Well under that logic, people who are shot dead by thugs over something they may have said are the catalyst to their own, cold blooded murder. When no, they weren't, the catalyst was that it's what thugs do; they kill, they vandalise, they aren't nice people ... they go out and look for people or people's property to harm, so I don't agree that Alex's behaviour can be remotely blamed for people vandalising a house that may have had an 8 year old child in ... their thuggish mindset was the catalyst, their boredom was the catalyst.
