If this was Helen's private number that's not listed in the public domain, there could be a legal issue here. Regardless, what a stupid thing for Aisleyne to do.
I see Emma Kennedy has gotten herself involved....

Doesn't matter how much you hate someone, putting their number online and encouraging harassment makes you lower than the low.
Emma Kennedy @EmmaKennedy
Here's a question for the legal heads. Are you breaking the law if you post someone's phone number online (thus inviting harassment)?
Helen Wood giving talks in schools about the dangers of social media and trolling! I'm guessing the people who agreed never watched her on Big Brother.
As laughable as when Tony Blair became Middle East Peace Envoy.
Still doesn't excuse what aisleyne did though does it.
Helens giving talks in secondary schools about online trolls !!
No wonder kids don't know how to spell canoe when they're wasting their time on this nonsense.
As much as it pains me to say this, cyber bullying is a big problem which affects a lot of children and teenagers. My answer is leave social media alone for a while but peer pressure is an awful thing when you are a youngster.
On the other matter, the reason why we have generations with ever decreasing IQ's is mostly down to teaching and parenting. I am appalled at the lack of knowledge of teenagers today.
Of course she wouldn't she is content accusing people of being a paedophile and circulating porngraphic photographs.
Giving out someone's phone number publically in a way that incites others to cause nuisance or offence is a criminal offence. While at times Helen's behaviour makes me squirm, there are degrees and Aisleyene crossed the line.

That is, quite simply and unarguably, the bottom line. Aisleyne has dipped below the bottom line, and the much-used forum terms "vile" and "disgusting" can justly be applied to her.

I'd have thought that posting an image of someone having a threesome without their permission would also be a criminal offence...be it real or fake(if it was real it would be "revenge porn" .....if fake but passed off as real I'd have thought libel/defamation/Harassment or the malicious communications act would come into play).
Neither of them are in the right...but as I said earlier... I'd find the leaking of my phone number (which could be easily changed) a far less distressing option than someone posting images of me in a sex act without my consent (be it real or fake but passed off as real).

Not if it has already been posted previously. Otherwise probably yes it would be but still not in the same league as encouraging people to harass someone.

If someone illegally posts an image....and someone reposts said image...it's still illegal.
..and you don't think that posting an image of someone in a threesome (that looks quite real) would encourage harrassment on twitter and in public?
Be honest ..would you rather have a humiliating image of you (real or not) circulating on twitter being seen by thousands..or have to change your phone number after a day due to a few nasty phone calls?

Not defending Aisleyne doing this at all (if indeed it was Helen's real mobile number), but there's one puzzling thing about the story.
The tweet from Aisleyne pretends that the number is Aisleyne's. Doesn't mention Helen at all. So how were people phoning up to abuse Helen?
Surely they'd think they were phoning up to abuseAisleyne??

Hm, I think you don't understand the vagaries of British law.
Obviously Aisleyne crossed a line here and it's simply apalling that anyone can see humor in this.
Is it? Simply appalling is it? Ok. Well I will consider you appalled.
I think most people are either unconcerned, or thinking they deserve each other so not being humorous just shrugging. *meh*
You have defended Helen who actually is appalling.
I haven't been able to find the supposed tweet giving Helen's number either. When is it supposed to have happened I wonder? I can find a story on it from the 9th July, but no real evidence of the Tweet.
Oh a bru haha about something that may or may not have happened. How rare!

We don't have generations with ever decreasing IQ. IQ has been going up, not down.

That's how Aisleyne's tweet seemed to me too, emptybox.

Helen will have a public hissy fit and secretly be happy that she will have her "date" book full for the next 3 years.
Imagine this happened to her?
She would be wanting the person arrested.

helen would never do that to her, yet helens in the wrong again
Of course she wouldn't she is content accusing people of being a paedophile and circulating porngraphic photographs.
Me too. I would hate to think my kids looked up to the likes of Helen. Do the school actually realise wtf they are doing?
Still doesn't excuse what aisleyne did though does it.

Seems Emma Kennedy is still supporting Helen, just like she did during bb15.
Good point!

I don't know who Emma is but I just looked at her Twitter and think she might need Sally Bercows lawyer Oh a bru haha about something that may or may not have happened. How rare!

We don't have generations with ever decreasing IQ. IQ has been going up, not down.
For example: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/11200900/The-Flynn-effect-are-we-really-getting-smarter.html
That's how Aisleyne's tweet seemed to me too, emptybox.
Yes exactly
You can't slate someone for being nasty when you act now on the Same level??????
I still don't understand what school would let Helen in to speak - surely schools would not want their students to emulate HW in any way?
