In fairness, don't call her a "hard faced cow" that's just rude.

Why would she come out? They are clearly estranged and very estranged at that, she doesn't even speak to their child now. While some people would choose to come out we do not know the full story and perhaps she wouldn't be welcome at the funeral? Who knows?

Regardless of how strained their relationship was, when they were together they were very close. He wrote many songs about her including "The Prettiest Star" and sharing a child and all those memories will be very difficult. I hope she'll be ok because to be honest I actually really like her. Yes, she's a little loopy but she's not purposely malicious and is quite funny in my opinion!

There's plenty of criticism off season about different things too people will have an opinion either way, people are just posting what theirs are,I don't see a problem.

Well IMO its very hard faced to ignore her own childs suffering and not to offer to be there to support him

[Tom4784]

I'm not going to judge her either way, I don't know enough about her situation with David or her son to look down on her for her choice.

And she never will be if one of doesn't make an effort , this could be an opportunity for them both to at least talk.

I know. I just keep repeating myself now but her child has just lost the only parent he was in contact with, she should, imo, atleast try and be there for him

[chuff me dizzy]

It seems the Mothers on here agree ,it should be her instinct to want to be there for her son ,without having children you don't know the bond

I agree,just a sign from her that she is there if he needs her would be good.

[rionablue]

I am really really disappointed in her. She loved David once and was married to him for over ten years. They had a son together and even though her son doesn't talk to her anymore he is still her son and he has lost his father. Even if she went to the funeral services and nobody spoke a word to her she could still hold her head high and know that she did the right thing. I think her staying in the house has now done her damage in how her fans feel about her. I certainly am annoyed that she chose to stay in the house no matter how much money they were offering her. I wont call her any kind of vile names I am just sad

[bots]

There is no right or wrong answer in this, its entirely up to Angie at the end of the day.

If she had rushed out of BB and not been welcomed by Davids family, she would have been accused of cashing in. If she stays in she is accused of being callous.

The only correct action is the one that she feels comfortable with, and can live with.

[GiRTh]

If Angie stays till the final then I would guess that she's likely to miss the funeral. Surely she's got to go to the funeral.

I am a mother and I strongly disagree.

I am estranged from my father... and He and my mother have not spoken for years. If it were my mother's funeral.. the last thing I would want would be for my father to use it as a platform to try to get into my life again. I would want him to keep his distance and let those who loved her mourn for her together.

A funeral and mourning period for someone is a time for those who were truly loved and connected with that someone to lean on each other. I dare say that David's son has plenty of other people to lean on and take comfort from without his mother showing up and bringing with her a lot of past drama.

Now is not the time for her to make a grand gesture to get into his life... if that is what either of them want

Her and David were over a very long time ago, as long as she doesn't say anything disrespectful about him I can't see a problem.
If her and her 45 year old son have had no contact for decades I can't imagine either of them needing to rush into each other's arms for comfort.

Completely agree with this.

She was going to get abuse no matter what she chose to do though, lets be honest.

I couldn't agree more.
Staying away from the funeral could be a way of showing respect to her son.
Families fall out big time, you can be dead to somebody even if you are alive.
It sounds to me like Duncan and Angie cut the bonds years ago, her going to the funeral uninvited could cause more distress than comfort.

It's her choice, can we please not be cynical please?

Completely agree. It's a shame when someone passes away and it becomes all about criticising people for how they responded (and as you say, she'd have no doubt been criticised either way).

That was @ some of the earlier comments btw

I agree with this

[Visage]

I can understand why she might choose to stay on.

If I heard news that my biological father had passed on, I wouldn't stop or change anything in my life. The guy left me & my mum when I was three and has never tried to get in touch. When my mum met the man who I refer to as my father, he wrote to my biological dad and asked if he could adopt me, the last we heard from him was a response to that request on the lines of something like this "Sure you can have him"



I don't know the ins & outs of David & Angie's life but if that's her decision then I'll respect it.

One never knows if she might be in shock and choose to leave in a couple of days when it really sinks in.

I agree with this.

I just hope she isn't staying in the house to get attention and publicity though. That would be awful.

For sure she was.
She can't really win either way.
I am no Angie fan but I do feel sorry for her, she must have feelings of anguish going on deep down. You might think you have shut the door on part of your life, but memories come back and bite you on the bottom.

[Fosse]

I'm not sure why she would give a toss one way or another about Bowie; dead or alive it's got nothing to do with her being in the house. She hadn't even seen him since 1976.

[Kazanne]

People are going to comment ,this topic was never going to pass without anyone commenting on it,we all have different opinions,obviously she will do what she thinks is best for her, but we can still comment,the only thing that bugs me slightly is why she kept his name,if it's all over and done with years ago why keep the Bowie name? and as Visage also said she could be in shock in which case she may decide to go.Time will tell I guess.
