But I don't see much wrong with her past though? People's obsessive criticism of prostitutes is just weird to me. Number one - if your partner cheats on you with one that's their problem, not the prostitutes. Number two - if you (not you, I mean in general lol) don't wish to be involved in the world of prostitution then fair enough, but if so...why do you care whether other people use them or become them? Number three - some prostitutes are actually forced into that kind of life either physically or because they don't have many other legitimate means of making a living for themselves, to criticise them for that when we should be criticising the social conditions that lead them there is really just saddening IMO.

The only thing I can see wrong about her past is the fact that (from what I understand anyway) she sold the story to the papers, but that still doesn't mean she was in the wrong for the Wayne Rooney incident itself. She was just doing her job.

I'm not saying she's the nicest person in the world from her behaviour inside the house or that she was in the right for the shower incident because she wasn't, and actually she was being quite sexist herself - but I don't really see how the fact that she used to be a prostitute is relevant to anything during her time in the house. The only reason it's being brought up is to throw a few unnecessary (and misogynistic because of their nature) digs at her. Housemate's pasts aren't important, people should judge them on their actions in the house alone.
