There is that famous old line "I do a lot for charity but I don't like to talk about it"

There is nothing wrong with donating to charity but Chloe telling us she has done it has sent her down in my estimation rather than up.
Again how can donating to charity make someone go down in your estimation. The fact is she donated a large sum of her money to charity which is better than her doing nothing with the money which if she openly said she did she would be slated much more

Why does she need to tell us she donated?

Who does that benefit?

Telling people that you have donated 20 grand to charity is just the same as saying "look at me, aren't I caring and great"

Dignified charity donors remain anonymous.

It raises awareness for the charity plus she was asked about what she did with the money, why should she lie?

I don't think she should have been asked that question to be honest. Asking her was probably more vulgar than her responding.

If someone asked you in your everyday life how much you earn or what you paid for stuff you would think them incredibly rude. I certainly would.

She's doing it for her Granddad. Why shouldn't she be proud of herself for donating? I make no secret of donating to charity because I think it's a wonderful thing to do.

I suppose it is a narcissistic world that we live in. Perhaps I am being old fashioned.

Mind you, we saw the narcissism from chloe when she was posing with BMWs on social media and she now claims the BMW wasn't hers so it makes one wonder why she was pretending it was.

I can post a picture with a duck but it doesn't mean that I own the duck

There is an air of desperation about this thread and its original pathetic point, which has nothing to do with being old fashioned; it's just plain nasty.

Let's make it easier to understand: Chloe won BB16 and in so doing gained a large amount of money.

If someone wins money, especially on a TV show, generally the first few questions they are asked will include, "what are you going to do with the money?"

Chloe answered the question!

This thread doesn't just scrape the barrel, it sh!ts in it and then licks it out.

She only told because she was asked

You're looking into it far too much, I suggest you get over the obsession with finding hate on Chloe.
