I admire your directness and i love the fact you think for yourself and don't suffer fools gladly

But in this case i totally think she is telling the truth.

If she was the type to use her back story for her own gain, then she would have done it in the house when everyone was against her.

People do invent things or milk it for effect for sure. I hate all that 'you don't know what i've been through' crap that people say on BB all the time.

But Simone's was real. It all came out when the show was over. She was overwhelmed by the moment and the relief of leaving. I am very cynical and can totally feel when people are lying or using this 'mysterious terrible past' as a way to gain power in an argument or whatever.

But Simone didn't use it like that. It just came out. It wasn't a scam. Everyone in the room could feel the realness.

Even Simone herself was stunned by her own emotional release, like a rabbit in headlights. She wasn't expecting that herself. It was a rare moment of fragile humanity in a show that gets more fake every series.
