Hi there was a thread that got deleted because people on both sides of the argument were being childish and insulting despite not having seen the interview, as it is only available to watch in Ireland. To clear things up I have written out exactly what Mary said.
"I loved Cher, She was a nice kid. but sometimes I felt like slapping her, I told her that to her face, so I'm not talking behind the child's back. I hope she's able to cope with it mentally. She is a bit highly strung, god love her. But a nice kid and I hope things work out for her, I hope her family stick by her. Because that's what she needs now."
Mary seemed to be speaking her honest opinion and didn't seem bitter about anything. She also talked about how she thought the show was too much pressure for 16 and 17 year olds.
If it's ok with the mods I'd like to start a new thread. Hopefully people can keep civil in It. If you would rather not have this here. Please feel free to delete it.

I'm sorry it was deleted and hope no-one lost posting privileges because of it.
Thank you! For posting exactly what she said - the other one only said the negative
She said she 'loved Cher' - thats all I need to hear now.
Case closed.
That definitely wasn't the OPs intention. They have championed Mary from the off and defended her vociferously at times too. They were searching for a link to the actual interview.
In fairness to the poster of the other thread they explained that they had just watched the interview on television so only posted what stuck out to them.
It's a 10 minute interview. For anyone who wants to watch ( It's only available in Ireland though )

Well,TV3 themselves led on Mary's "I could have slapped Cher" comments at the top of their show,meaning they considered it an important quote.
I would have posted the entire interview myself earlier had it been available and allowed people to make up their own minds.
Indeed,I said it was a "wide ranging interview" and I made it perfectly clear I had plucked a single quote from it as it was a potentially interesting talking point.
It's not. I'm watching her in London
Just been watching the clip and some of the quotes from Mary were edited out from the Xpose show."She's a bit highly strung,God love her" etc,I didn't even hear on the programme tonight
Strange, as normally TV3 vids are only available in Ireland. I have tried to watch them while away.
Yes, she better move herself to do the Christmas shopping
People say that the 1D boys are also very young and they didn't behave like bratts. But remember that they never got stick for anything. Nobody gave them a proper critique about their singing, lack of originality in their songs, miming, etc. No rumors with the boys. They cruised by the competition based on their looks. Period.
But Cher unlike MARY was in the constant limelight! It was unreal. The last story is that she was a poor looser and didn't want to go the finale and snubbed Matt!! Which is obviously not true!!
Mary is entitled to her opinion. Can't watch the video so hard to know her tone and intention. But my point is that Mary was not in Cher's shoes. Mary barely made the news. So it's unfair to judge Cher, who was obviously acting in response to various attacks coming from everywhere, including Louis. People need to step back and look at the situation objectively and answer if they would have cracked after 10 WEEKS! 10!! Of constant bullying.
I really like Mary's attitude. I think she was highly stressed on the X Factor but she's happy about the whole experience. Even on the night she was voted out she was very classy and seemed to accept the situation with grace even though she was treated rather unfairly.
I completly agree with everything you say.
I'm still here.
TBH, I just made a simple comment. When I made that comment, It wasn't my intention to get some members so worked up about it and start an argument. I do take responsibility for going along with the childish arguing, though, even if it was in good humor. So for that, I apologize to the OP for getting their thread deleted. Sorry.
I have to disagree with you with regard to Mary and the media, from the time she went into the competition she was featured on radio, t.v. and in magazines, i don't know anything about Cher and tbh i have no interest in her, one creates their own press whether good or bad, in Chers case it was quite negative, but as the saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, some of the threads on here have been disgraceful over the weeks with regard to Mary, i.e, her weight, appearance, the state of her house, her singing, at times i found the threads upsetting to the point where i found myself uunable to respond to them, why people would want to participate in such a spiteful and hateful way, is, beyond me, and i am not surprised the last thread was removed, it was deteriorating into the same nastiness. Mary has had good Press because she is a lovely woman, she appreciates the chances she has been given, and there is no agenda, i wish her well in the future, i am a fan and look forward to seeing her go onwards and upwards. I was disappointed she was not given her rightful place in the final, and have looked for a refund on the money i spent on voting for her in the semi final, i think i will have a long wait, but stranger things have happened
