Yes it did look a bit awkward but she did not hesitate to do it. Not the actions of a terrified assault victim, however benevolently one might want to look at it.

It could certainly be presented against Hazel were she ever to want to take things further, e.g. legally. Which, once she sees that Daley has gone to the media with his story, she just might.

I have just sent them this email:

Dear Sir/Madam,
I wish to complain about the interview with Daley Ojuederie conducted by Emma Willis on tonight's show (broadcast 16/07/13), in relation to Mr Ojuederie's aggressive and abusive attack on fellow housemate Hazel O'Sullivan and subsequent removal from the house.
Throughout the interview Ms Willis repeatedly offered platitudes to Mr Ojuederie, suggesting that he was not entirely to blame for the assault and that Ms O'Sullivan was also to blame. Ms Willis repeatedly said "It takes two to tango" suggesting equal blame on the part of Ms O'Sullivan and later said to Mr Ojuederie "There is no way you are entirely to blame for this". She also asked Mr Ojuederie his opinion on Ms O'Sullivan, suggesting that Ms O'Sullivan had in some way treated him badly.
I found the whole interview distasteful. This man, a trained boxer, put his hands around Ms O'Sullivan's throat, before pushing her down and pinning her to the bed by her arms and then threatened to "finish her" and to "nut her one". To offer the merest hint that Ms O'Sullivan was in any way to blame for any aspect of this attack is disgraceful and I am shocked and appalled at Channel 5 and Miss Willis for not only allowing a violent abuser a platform to make his excuses from, but to be complicit in those excuses.
I would suggest that Ms Willis and Channel 5 are out of touch with the realities of violent crime against women and of their viewers feelings on such matters. Indeed, many viewers in the online forum community are calling for Ms Willis' dismissal. At the very least, an apology should be made by Ms Willis for her behaviour during this interview and by Channel 5 for not only giving Mr Ojuederie a platform from which to place blame elsewhere, but for allowing the interview to be conducted in such a disgraceful manner.

Yours sincerely,

oh look we have an OFCOM complainer in our midst

Still think Daley should have apologised directly about Hazel if he scared her etc. but they will need to talk after the show. Hes pissed me off writing **** to the papers though, will only reflect bad on him.

Hazel has been great in the house about the whole thing.

There was no probe.

He was allowed to blame his actions on everything but himself. But when asked about hazel he totally brushed her off. At no point was the neck hold discussed. Or the threat to "nut" her. Just alot of comments about how it takes two.

Going by that interview alone, it would be easy to surmise that daley had been removed from the house for cheating on his girlfriend.

[CaudleHalbard]

Lol! By the time Ofcom even get around to looking at that letter we'll be into BB 2014 !

It will be Hazel Who? Daley Who?

I believe that violence against women is worthy of a complaint. I also believe that a TV interviewer agreeing that the victim of an assault is to blame is worthy of a complaint. The fact that you find that amusing says a lot about how little violence towards women offends you. Well, it offends me. Deeply.

It wasn't sent to Ofcom, it was sent to Channel 5. And at least I expressed my opinion, to those I believe are to blame, which is more than keyboard warriors like you will do.

No she isn't justifying threats of violence and abuse, tone the exaggeration down please

Don't even dare try and make a judgement about my views on such an issue, that's even more offensive than the hyperbole you're spouting now. Seriously. Don't even dare.

If you actually bothered to go and read the thread I've just made, and read several other posts I've made about the incident, you'll see I found Daley's actions totally unacceptable and very disturbing. That's not an example of me not finding 'violence against women' offensive, so don't even try and play that card, that's ****ing out of order

What about Hazel's assaults on Daley including trying to suffocate him with a pillow (imagine if he had an asthma attack?) and exposing him. Hope you're going to write to Ofcom about that too!

Gotta be evenhanded!

[Kulafey]

Why are you wittering on about Ofcom? - Who wrote to Ofcom? I certainly never mentioned anything about ofcom.

[Kulafey]

Wow -how very aggressive. You've proved my point for me right there.

Sorry meant C5. I was distracted by what a previous poster said.

If it's C5 your letter will be filed in the well known cylindrical filing cabinet. So good luck with that!

[cookiemonster]

you are right Kulafey, but Emma isn't who you want to point your blame at. it was a difficult interview for her and she did the best she could

i find certain comments on here disturbing and agree violence towards women AND men is totally unacceptable but if you really want to do something you'd be better volunteering for a domestic violence charity or some such

Maybe so, but its better than moaning and bitching on here, which has no chance of achieving anything, ever.

Well excuse me for being offended at having a total stranger who hasn't a clue what my views are on such a sensitive issue accuse me of not finding domestic violence or assault (especially against women) offensive. Do you even know me? I'd like to think the members on here that have known me and know my views and opinions on lots of issues over the past five years would vouch for the fact that I certainly do not find such incidents acceptable, and to try and make such an accusation when you've absolutely no clue who I am is deeply insulting and highly inflammatory

I merely laughed at the suggestion of emailing C5 to complain about Emma, I've made my thoughts on the interview clear in other threads and have also (if you actually took the time to read) made my thoughts on Daley's actions clear too, that does not mean I'm this misogynistic pig that loves violence against women and if you seriously think I'm just going to sit back and let you accuse me of something like that you're sadly mistaken

[Josy]

Stick to discussing the thread topic instead of getting personal

[Shaun]

I didn't watch. Judging by what was said, I'm glad I didn't. Incredibly stupid and cowardly.

I was more offended that your comment to me concluded with the word "pathetic" - inflammatory to say the least. I happen to have a deep distaste for violence against women- I work in a women's refuge. I'm actually there now and earlier everyone where I work agreed we would all email Channel 5 with our complaints. You may find it pathetic, but we wanted to make our feelings clear. If nobody reads it, fine. But if enough people emailed them, they would have to take note.

Once upon a time I would have agreed. But nowadays you have a better chance of you send something via Twitter.

But do let us know if you get a response.

it's not Emma you should be gunning for though. you should complain about them letting Daley in in the first place
