Getting some comeuppance reference her Stanley Johnson comments on domestic abuse. She’s had to step down from her refuge charity role.
She’s scum.

Celeb hounding? Did you watch QT?If anyone thought to actually read about this, she was required to read that statement by the BBC. She was not reading her own words and the charity has acknowledged this.
She has helped raise awareness and money for lots of charities but don't let facts interfere with a bit of celeb hounding.
Highly doubtful, she’s the Tory poster girl.Will she be suspended for this week's offering?

So for a broadcast tv programme with unscripted audience participation you're saying she already had a pre-prepared statement to read out just in case anyone brought up Stanley Johnson breaking his wife's nose?If anyone thought to actually read about this, she was required to read that statement by the BBC. She was not reading her own words and the charity has acknowledged this.

So the officiall BBC statement contained the line about friends saying Johnson only did it the once? Seems a bit weird but I haven't read anything in detail about this.If anyone thought to actually read about this, she was required to read that statement by the BBC.

I agree though it’s worth adding that Johnson’s ex-wife said he beat her numerous times, and this has been accepted as the truth. Quite why Bruce was so keen to get her disclaimer in is a great insight into just what has been happening at the BBC since 2010. It has always been an arm of the state but the shift to the right over the past few years is alarming. Bruce’s husband’s advertising firm didn’t receive over £3m from the Conservatives for nothing.I think it was the way she almost broke her neck in her desperation to get the statement out and the emphasis she put on it that has caused the issue here. A ststaement could easily have been slipped in at the end of the conversation but she more or less shouted others down to get the point across.
If she was required to read a statement saying "his friends said it was a one off" then that raises even more worrying questions doesn't it? As per my previous post I can't see how that particular part of her statement (and it's the bit that's particularly controversial) addresses any legal risk.If anyone thought to actually read about this, she was required to read that statement by the BBC.
