But I'm sure BB under the circumstances would allow her to call her loved ones to speak to them.
Maybe after doing this she then decided to stay on the show.

And she never will be if one of doesn't make an effort , this could be an opportunity for them both to at least talk.

I know. I just keep repeating myself now but her child has just lost the only parent he was in contact with, she should, imo, atleast try and be there for him

I agree,just a sign from her that she is there if he needs her would be good.

[Kazanne]

I think she should have at least offered him an olive branch,if he then refused that would be his fault,but to stay on the show is saying to me she cares more about that than her son,I know a lot of time has gone past,but he is still her son,she should at least try and mend those barriers.

I agree.
Rather than then leave the publicly,possibly justified,view,that in fact by doing so and staying on the show, she showed David and Duncan were clearly right to cut her out of their lives.

Agree, I doubt Zowie will ever forgive her now ,IMO its a very selfish act to not be there for him

For all we know, she may have offered an olive branch over the years.
His wife had a two year battle with cancer not that long ago, perhaps Angie tried to get in touch then, perhaps not. Either way, it was an opportunity for them to make their peace.
They have not had contact for over 30 years Kaz,
In an ideal world we would all have the invisible cord that can't be cut, but I am afraid it doesn't work like that in reality.
He will turn to his real loved ones for comfort. The ones that have been there for him over the years.

....again you have to respect her decision. There was obviously no love lost between them..she has had no contact with her son (from what she has said). So why should she leave the house... If you have fallen out with people over the years, no matter who they are and what part they played in your life...why would your mindset change just because they have passed away. Wouldn't that be deemed two-faced?....why start pretending you actually care once someone has passed?...
I am sure if her son was young then she would have been there for him (maybe)...but he is an adult surrounded by people that have been there for him over the years where Angie hasn't.
I don't think we should crucify her for staying in the house...none of us really know the true facts.

David Bowie was a genius...I loved him and may he RIP. Angie seems a crankie, selfish box of frogs and I am not liking her...but I respect her decision.

She can't win either way and to be quite honest I think any kind of criticism is in really poor taste, but then this is on season...so anything goes doesn't it.

There's plenty of criticism off season about different things too people will have an opinion either way, people are just posting what theirs are,I don't see a problem.

Completely agree. It's a shame when someone passes away and it becomes all about criticising people for how they responded (and as you say, she'd have no doubt been criticised either way).

bitch had the whole thing planned xx

[Strictly Jake]

I'm pleased because she is in my top 3 but she should support her family really

[Briancbbfan]

In fairness, don't call her a "hard faced cow" that's just rude.

Why would she come out? They are clearly estranged and very estranged at that, she doesn't even speak to their child now. While some people would choose to come out we do not know the full story and perhaps she wouldn't be welcome at the funeral? Who knows?

Regardless of how strained their relationship was, when they were together they were very close. He wrote many songs about her including "The Prettiest Star" and sharing a child and all those memories will be very difficult. I hope she'll be ok because to be honest I actually really like her. Yes, she's a little loopy but she's not purposely malicious and is quite funny in my opinion!

Well IMO its very hard faced to ignore her own childs suffering and not to offer to be there to support him

[chuff me dizzy]

It seems the Mothers on here agree ,it should be her instinct to want to be there for her son ,without having children you don't know the bond

I am a mother and I strongly disagree.

I am estranged from my father... and He and my mother have not spoken for years. If it were my mother's funeral.. the last thing I would want would be for my father to use it as a platform to try to get into my life again. I would want him to keep his distance and let those who loved her mourn for her together.

A funeral and mourning period for someone is a time for those who were truly loved and connected with that someone to lean on each other. I dare say that David's son has plenty of other people to lean on and take comfort from without his mother showing up and bringing with her a lot of past drama.

Now is not the time for her to make a grand gesture to get into his life... if that is what either of them want

I couldn't agree more.
Staying away from the funeral could be a way of showing respect to her son.
Families fall out big time, you can be dead to somebody even if you are alive.
It sounds to me like Duncan and Angie cut the bonds years ago, her going to the funeral uninvited could cause more distress than comfort.

I agree with this.

I just hope she isn't staying in the house to get attention and publicity though. That would be awful.

[Tom4784]

I'm not going to judge her either way, I don't know enough about her situation with David or her son to look down on her for her choice.

[rionablue]

I am really really disappointed in her. She loved David once and was married to him for over ten years. They had a son together and even though her son doesn't talk to her anymore he is still her son and he has lost his father. Even if she went to the funeral services and nobody spoke a word to her she could still hold her head high and know that she did the right thing. I think her staying in the house has now done her damage in how her fans feel about her. I certainly am annoyed that she chose to stay in the house no matter how much money they were offering her. I wont call her any kind of vile names I am just sad
