Brigitte's son
Brigitte was interviewed on the Irish Late Late Show on Friday night. She was very flirty at first - seemed a bit tipsy - but broke down in tears when Pat Kenny asked her if she'd had some bad news. Her youngest son has a brain tumour and had surgery on Friday. She had just heard that the 10 hour operation was a success but didn't know yet if her son would have to undergo more treatment.
So maybe she didn't show on Richard & earlier in the week because she had to fly back to see her son? |

I wonder why she was on The Late Late Show and not with her son.

Yes, if my son had a brain tumour I would be with him 24/7.

She doesn't have custody of her children does she? Perhaps there are visitation issues?

A very close family member died of a brain tumour last year. Believe me, everything else except them is put to one side. Last edited by sharon curtis : 31-01-2005 at 13:40. Reason: Spelling error |

Yes it is strange when these HMs say or claim one thing yet their actions are in complete contradiction to that!
Makes you think that there own self-promotion comes above all - certainly their family members. It's almost like they are in fact using their family just as another self-promotion tool and vote winner.

Oh I agree, 'celebs' do not abide by the unspoken rules that are applicable to everyone else.
When self promotion comes before a very sick child though I feel sorry for them. |

Just some clarification from the Sunday Independent - a quote from the interviewer Pat Kenny: "Some viewers may have got the impression that she wasn't at her son's bedside when he underwent the operation. Thisis not the case. This bad news emerged since the operation which happened earlier in the week". And he is reported as saying that the bad news may have been in relation to a post-operative scan and that when she arrived at the RTE studios, she had just received bad news. ..." She was sad because she had just received news about her son. When she arrived, she went into a huddle with our researchers. She was upset about it and was in tears. ........ He is her youngest boy and she is besotted by him. She is a professional and a performer, so even though she had the bad news, she came on and was determined to give a good show. When I spoke to her, she put on a brave face, steeling herself to go on. When she did come on set, she was completely over-the-top, masking the upset she had."
(The Sunday Independent, 30.1.2005) Hope that clarifies the situation. She did seem genuinely upset and the audience were very sympathetic to her. |

Oh for heavens sake, give the woman a break.
I liked Brigitte on CBB - she handled everything that was thrown at her with dignity - and I still like her. She was with her son for his operation and was told it was a success. Then she came to do the interview but got bad news just as she arrived at the studio, she didn't bring up the subject of her son until the interviewer pressed her to talk about it and then she broke down. I'm sure she's gone back to be with her son and wouldn't have come to Dublin at all unless she thought her son was okay after the operation. |

NOT!! instead she did the rounds of movie premieres, award ceremonies etc before seeing the kids days later.

I would wish Brigitte's son and anyone else in a similar situation a sincere speedy recovery. It certainly puts the passions raised by a mere game show into perspective.

come on peeps!!! let's keep this thread rolling!! i'm surprised at the few opinions registered thus far. it's a subject i'm keen on and i want to hear what other FMs think of the treatment of "close" family members by these so-called celebs be it BB contestants or otherwise. thanks for your contributions.

Its amazing how judgmental we as human beings can be without knowing the facts. Brigitte may be flawed but I recognise a true mother who loves her children and is trying to do her best. I love her for that. Some of you need to look into yourselves and stop throwing stones. Lets pray that her dear son pulls through eh.
Thanks Azuka |
