She has had some bad reactions to situations but never once (that we have seen) initiated any kind of personal abuse.

You are correct. They think if they call Gemma a bully often enough, people will start to believe it. They forget we watch the same show.
For instance, take knickergate. I've read all over the place that Gemma was in the thick of it with her 'cronies' and how she was horrible to Steph about it. All made up nonsense. Gemma had nothing to do with it and the only things she said were 'Jeremy will wash them for her now' and then at the table 'it's not fair to leave them on the table'. That's it. She never said a word about it to Steph.
Yet they brushed off what John did as nothing. That's the sort of insidious falsehoods that they think will make people join them in their hatred.
It doesn't work - it only makes people want to support her more which in turn leads to more votes.
