Dan is trash. I loved Alexandra in the bodyguard. I'm shocked she got bad treatment since she won it.

She doesn't really discuss bad treatment on the X factor (bar Louis saying he doesn't want 2 black artists or something) it was mostly once she entered the industry.

[Amy Jade]

Dan Wootton is utter scum, he tried to destroy Alex on Strictly and it was literally the at the same time her mother passed away.

[Liam-]

Dan Wooton is evil

[Oliver_W]

wtf? I thought this was gonna be another moaning about nothing "they portrayed me as angry" thing, but who the hell tells someone to bleach their skin?

+1

but in all fairness, in the world of gossip tabloids you got attention seeking, media hungry leeches like this Wootton

here in Netherlands you got Angela de Jong, who is overall disliked by all of our celebs, whom also writes very bad things about many celebs in her column

[Daniel-X]

Strictly and the BBC were ****ing ****ty too for not offering her any support when she was grieving/facing all that horrible trolling. Ffs when will reality shows start looking after their contestants.

Some of the other things she talked about - not being allowed to have certain hair or release certain songs - aren't really unusual; I can't imagine One Direction would have been allowed to have shaved heads or mohawks, or release death metal music

What a way to sell the Fantasy version of One Direction to me.

The Story Of My Life Death Metal style would be epic.

Erm, no. It is different when she's told not to do it because she would be "too black for white people".

If 1D did what I said, they'd be too "hardcore" for their teen girl audience X Factor winners are middle of the road and generic, and that's how they wanted her.

You're inventing things now.

She was told to tone down her "blackness" so as to not put off racist white folk. Nothing to do with music styles.

[Tom4784]

Oliver, there's a bit of a difference between changing your music styles to appeal to an audience and being asked to 'tone down' (The **** that even means) your race to appeal to white people.

[Cherie]

she won, so the white people didn't find her too black then?

the ‘but alexandra burke won so the public cant be racist’ etc is invalid when its more about all the awful articles and microagressions she had to deal with

Well that just about says it all...

[Tom4784]

The producers took issue with her race and tried to 'tone down her blackness'. That's discrimination and racism. It's nothing to do with her winning or losing, it was just the excuse the producers used to discriminate.

Awful woman
