I am surprised the article wasn't signed off: 'a family friend'. The universal sign of creative journalism
I seem to remember a similar spate of 'rejection' stories taking place on the days of other potential evictions”
If it was signed by "a family friend" it would be easier to dismiss as a charm offensive I think
However two family members have been directly quoted
"Yesterday, Sidi, 43, said there would be no family at Elstree studios to meet Becki if she leaves the house.
"She has brought total shame to the family name and now we don't want anything to do with her.
"I used to have a sister, now I don't. I never want to see her again. She has sold herself cheap."~ Daily Mirror
Taoufik,44,said: 'We don't want to have anything more to do with Becki. She is no longer welcome in our home.
'People back in Morocco are very angry about this. They cannot believe that a Moslem girl is behaving in this way.
'Some people have even gone as far as to say they will kill her if she goes back to Morocco for all the shame she has brought on Islam.
'They are concerned that people will think all Moslem women are like this.'
And he warned that if she had sex in front of millions of viewers it would be the end of her 75-year-old dad Ahmed.
He said: 'If she does go all the way, it will kill her father.'~Daily Record
The Daily record goes on to print a quote from the
Chairman of the Moslem council, condemning Becki's actions
