don't even have to say how disgusted i am by those cretins.

Seeing the support for the lovely Chris is great. The ex housemates on the side of good defending him is also lovely.

and another thread was removed very quickly
Makes sense. Some of the comments could have brought both the site owners and individuals under the libel microscope themselves. I do suspect that there may have been a deliberate muddying of the waters in order to leave the mods with no choice but to remove the whole lot.

How hard can it be to write the word 'alleged'?

Just noticed that the 11-page thread on the subject has now been removed from the main forum.
Thank you, I was wondering where it had gone to.

Seán ( Ashleigh's boyfriend) tweeted Chris about it..

Seán Hutton ‏@28hutto 29m
@chrisrwright how's our Chris keeping? Ash updated me on the latest act to come from the circus. Forget about them. See you soon, chieftain!

Chris R. Wright ‏@chrisrwright 4m
@28hutto Thanks Seán. Feel bit shit/hurt, but looking forward to seeing you both soon.

@chrisrwright never lose sleep over the opinions of mindless sheep. You have everything that those who call others names do not have.
That's great, I am pleased to see Chris and Ashleigh are keeping in touch.

Could someone please explain to me what's been going on? Are Helen and Steven attacking Chris again?

Basically there were tweets supposedly by Helen, Steve, Kim and Ash making highly offensive suggestions about Chris

The Helen and Ash thread has been deleted now as well. Looks like we're on very dodgy ground discussing the Twitter incident around here. I can only hope that means the legal wheels are in motion.

Toya has made a public statement of support for Chris

I am thoroughly disgusted. What do you define as bullying? Slandering someone's name? Now you have all seen it publicly. I shudder.

I hope so. What they said about Chris was disgusting. You know what they say. Mud sticks!

He should avoid them all like the plague at the wrap party.

I've been away for a week, so only just found out about this.

As disgusted as I am, I have to say that it doesn't surprise me that the people involved have said these vile things. They have no sort of respect, maturity or social intelligence, just a horrific pack mentality.

I'm so proud that Chris has reacted with dignity and decorum, both before and after this incident.

What is it like living in the Big Brother house? Like being stranded in the belly of a whale.. and that whale just swallowed a convict ship.

Also guys please for chris in the 3rd annual BB housemate awards on the BB forum if you can. He deserves to top the votes. I avoided giving ashleigh one due to her popularity but that's up to you.

Absolutely beautiful! I'm pretty jealous of Chris' skills although he has inspired me to get in some much-needed sketching practice. I'll never be that good though.

I guess the Ashleigh tribute will soon follow but I think it's telling he chose Christopher first. It's so frustrating that the editors didn't show us more of the Chrises together. It felt quite a surprise to realise they were as close as they obviously now are.

There's been quite a bit about Chris in Ashleigh's Couch Potatoes interview tonight. She makes it very clear she never felt uncomfortable around him and says some interesting things about the edit and what she and Chris realised, while still in the house, and even before the animal task, about how things were being portrayed. I'm making some notes in the Ashleigh appreciation thread, but it's worth listening to it rather than rely on my somewhat inadequate attempts to get things down.

(As I understand it, the interview will go up on the Couch Potatoes website so that you can listen to it even though by now you've missed hearing it live.)

It was a good interview she explained a lot regarding the Pav/creepy stuff.

Thanks to both of you.
Will listen to that.

Tbh around the animal task time i started to think surely Chris & ashleigh must have realized what Big brother were up to. Chris being as smart as he is. Glad that seems to be the case

I have to confess my opinion of Ashleigh is no longer a very positive one. I in no way disrespect Chris' choice to be friends with her - that's a private matter and nobody else's business - and I gave her every benefit of the doubt during the show. But, with the benefit of hindsight and looking at things tactically, I feel Ashleigh often did Chris more harm than good. During the first half of the series I was desperately willing him to settle on a best friend because I could tell he would blossom if he did. Well the upside is Ashleigh brought him more into the show but unfortunately it wasn't always in a good way. Which is why it frustrates me that we didn't see more of him with Christopher. The editors just wanted a controversial storyline rather than a fair portrayal of all the interactions going on.

BB friendships rarely last long after the show. Time will tell whether Chris and Ashleigh will be an exception. I have my suspicions but I'll leave it at that. My support and concerns are totally towards Chris though, I don't want to have to be a "Crashleigh" fan. Unfortunately not worshipping at the court of Queen Ashleigh seems to be too much of a controversial point of view.

Is there a reason why that was expressed in a way that implied criticism of those who liked Ashleigh? It's fine to like Chris and not her, but is there really any need for "Unfortunately not worshipping at the court of Queen Ashleigh seems to be too much of a controversial point of view"?

Frankly, I now regret mentioning the interview here. I thought it would be of interest to Chris's fans (of which I'm one), because there was a good discussion of some Chris-related issues and of how BB distorted some things; but since the price is bringing out a yet another in the long series of digs at Ashleigh's fans that have appeared since early in bb15, I wish I hadn't bothered. I'm heartily sick of all of that, and I'd prefer to avoid this thread and get my Chris news elsewhere than to put up with any more of it.
