There's a slight difference between a racism and bullying scandal that made international news, and a false accusation of violence that soap stars are talking about on Twitter

The reason CBB5 damaged the brand is because Channel 4 handled it so badly. They suppressed footage, didn't intervene early enough, and were eventually forced to broadcast an apology by Ofcom. Somehow I don't see that happening this time. They intervened, they've exposed Roxanne and cleverly allowed her keep digging, and not (that we know of) suppressed any footage.

You're kidding if you don't think Paul Osborne and Ben Frow are enjoying all this attention today. All press is good press - sometimes.
