Many times, Ashleigh and others have mentioned her rough past. Can anyone provide more info or is this just a 'poor me' story?

    I've never heard any of the housemates say she had a rough past, must have missed that. Don't think she's mentioned anything or anything put out there by the press.

    There have been mentions of her being bullied at school, but considering her size, calculating nature and acid tongue, that seems hard to believe.

    I think Ashleigh said she has been bullied and alienated in the past. Can't remember who she was speaking to at the time.

    Actually girls can be bullied for being tall at school.

    OP... what "rough past" have you heard about. I have heard nothing from Ashleigh of "others" of what you mention.

    Instead of starting threads pertaining to this and asking others to muck rake, can you furnish any details of the said "rough past". Thank You. Back up your statement with fact.

    It's been mentioned a few times she was bullied at school and perhaps a bit of an outcast. As she's quite physically stunning now it could mean she had a bit of an awkward geeky stage. I don't get the impression she was much of an academic so maybe she found it hard to join a "group" in school. That can be tough going for teens in school. It could be why she got into pageants.

    Just on a point of order, MySkass was ASKING for information about Ashleigh's rough past, not providing information about it.

    I'm sure her Mum told Emma once at an eviction that she had been bullied at school.

    Actually that would indicate to me that she likely was indeed bullied, as she's developed a chip on her shoulder.

    And although people are bullied for their appearance, people who simply like to keep to themselves and have 'alone time' are often singled out too.

    A lot of people gain strength (which is what I would describe Ashleigh - not an acid tongue and calculating strength) as a result of being bullied.

    People are bullied for so many different reasons. There is no checklist for what makes you a victim of bullying.

    First off, calm down. I was not trying to start an anti-Ashleigh campaign, I was asking a fair question about Ashleigh's past because several times she's talked about her struggles. Even watching the clip of Chris' conversation with Christopher after Helen returned, Christopher says something like 'what she's been through'.

    When Ashleigh defends herself, she says it and I was just wondering if anyone knew what her back-story was.

    And also at different ages, it doesn't just start and stop at school. Plenty of workplace bullying goes on

    It's a sob story that some have fallen for. That girl was probably the bully not the bullied. Don't be fooled by the little girl voice and the bad acting.

    How nasty without any proof., Thats like something Helen would say. Ashleigh has shown no bullying tendencies in the house, whereas Helen has done nothing but bully and even had to be warned by BB for it.

    I'm not saying this is what has happened to Ashleigh, but it does happen out there. If you're into beauty pageants, then that can attract negative attention from other girls. It's tough enough being a teenage girl - most girls don't feel good about themselves - but if you have a class mate who is "officially, certifiably" beautiful, then of course jealousy will build. It's like carrying a placard around saying "I'm beautiful, you're not" at an age when young women are so horribly vunerable.

    I hate beauty pageants - FFG, is this 2014 or what? We should not be judging teenage girls on their bodies.

    It's her rough time in the house that's usually being referred to. The only such info about her past before BB is that she has been bullied and was unpopular.

    So because she stands up to Helen she can't have been bullied at school? People change, maybe the experience is what drove her to be stronger and stand up for herself. Maybe she mostly just took it and it got worse so she learned to stand up for herself.

    Really? Based on what evidence? A ridiculous thing to say! There's nothing to suggest she was a bully!

    The bullying topic on this thread almost suggests that you can't have been bullied unless you have published the détails....

    A new low for this forum.

    No it's a just a discussion about a HM's back story that the HM in question and other HM's have mentioned I'm not a fan but I have no reason to doubt her claims.
