It could be argued that some people who post positively on Helen (not everyone has to be a 'fan' of any of them btw) might be encouraged to do so by the rabid defence, and attack, employed by some Ashleigh fans. I can't say I'm a massive fan of Helen but when it's 99% hate it would be almost rude not to try and add a bit of perspective, no?
Just throwing it out there. Please don't be too harsh to me people- I don't post nasty mean things about Ashleigh, so be gentle with me.

I see Helen and Ashleigh as pretty similar tbh in their bitchiness and nastiness the only difference being Helen is far more upfront and very vocal whereas Ashleigh does it behind the back and likes one to one bitching best.And of course I do see a warmer side to Helen but not Ashleigh, I think if Helen had never been there Ashleigh would have been pretty much hated tbh, the way she was so pally with people like Toya and Pauline tells me all I need to know about her.”
So it's not a case of actually liking Helen, just defending her against what you think is not warranted. See that is normal and nothing wrong with that. I for one won't question it.
Wouldn't it be nice if those who liked Ashleigh were also accepted for their reasons too!? Ratther than being told it's for something different to what we are saying
There are more 'Why do you like Ashleigh ' threads, or 'Dont understand the Ashleigh love ' threads than there are threads questioning Helen's support!
Monotonous and really annoying
