Dr Faustus Posted April 10, 2021 Share Posted April 10, 2021 1 minute ago, Cheese said: Nothing to do with anything like that. Anorexia is a proper serious illness. My sister works with Anorexics. Sadly, very few recover. Oh I agree, and as I say it's tragic. Reading more, she has suffered from an early age; starting from an insensitive, but childish innocuous comment. Believe it or not, I don't mean to come across as crass (or frankly a twat), but she always struck me as being desperate for fame, it maybe just to be loved... Folk screaming her name will patch that scar up; but it can be easily ripped away. To me, it seemed she craved something... It was dangled, then at some point taken away. I just question whether anything 'reality' does enough research into their contestants, and if they went really get the support they need?

Doesn't matter what any of us think about the way she lived her life. The illness killed her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So just ignoring the bit about her getting the support she so genuinely needed? Or that she was selected to be thrust into the limelight, despite her illness, or without her illness being properly evaluated? The 'millions of fans' she entertained, being asked to pay for her private medical bills... Do you not think the production company should have made a contribution? Tragically she has made celebrity deadpool. To me, those who made her a celebrity are partially responsible for her wellbeing? I couldnt give a Fuck how she lived her life; its tragic that she had succumbed to such a horrible illness. I feel she has been let down by those who made entertainment (and fucking millions) out of her. Don't turn this into another Cheese Almighty rant. The illness killed her, perhaps some folk could've done more to help rather than just using her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, I probably shouldn't have posted about her death here. I feel a bit ashamed to be honest. At the same time though - I don't think those who made here famous are "partially responsible for her death". That's a bit like saying the people who made Jade Goody famous are partially responsible for Jade Goody's death. Both would probably have succumbed to their illnesses whether they were famous or not. But yes, the vultures got their piece of meat as they always do. Anyway, let's leave it there. Edited April 10, 2021 by Cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonk Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Edit: the incorrect quote as fact from youri mcanespie, otherwise known as the wrong un should have been here regarding GM being in Kraftwerk No, let's not. you are as wrong as wrong can be Edited April 11, 2021 by Gonk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He summed it up perfectly and has no reason to apologise. People need to take responsibility for their actions. I'm not saying its that easy but by the looks of it she suffered for years. Help is out there for people that need it but you've got to help yourself first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have issues with reality shows in general; let's point and laugh at folk, or look how shitty their lives are...

Mille Petrozza of Kreator or the footballer Maurizo Gaudino for example. bit late to this but gonk(?) is right georgio moroder was never owt to do with kraftwerk, members of Neu or Can maybe related to Kraftwerk. but not georgio moroder. georgio moroder was more harold faltermeyer's (axel foleys theme) bandmate (other way round , really).. but just wanted to say the 'chase' is fucking class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Joszef Fritzel? It's former Kraftwerk man Georgio. The 2nd one, Kurt Cobain's favourite film was Tommy Boy. It was playing on his home cinema (in his greenhouse) when they found him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
