It's funny how certain people get passes though and let off the hook for crying and for having a "sob story" and other people get given harsh grief over it .

If people were consistent with their reactions then fair enough , but Mark Wright cries and people are all "awwww bless his cotton socks" like he's a kitten that's been battered .

Alexandra cries and the reaction is " how dare she show emotion she's using her dead mother " and blah blah more abuse spat her way .
