I didn't say it did, I was responding to a point made by another poster about not consulting Angie about what was showed. It is not me you should be mad at.
Sorry,

I wasn't made at you, I am totally disgusted at C5 & BB

Its her decision. BB can't push it either way tbh they can only offer an exit and support if she wants it.

I wouldn't criticise her decision. In shock/grief people act in the only way they see fit at the time. Whether it is the right decision for her, only she will know eventually. My dad went off the rails when my mum died. Made some very odd decisions in his first year of grief.
That's very true but surely she can't be all that grief-stricken? She said herself that she hadn't seen him for years or had anything to do with him. He was her son's father but she suspects her son hasn't had anything to do with her since he was 13 because of David. They don't sound a close family at all!!! FMs are mostly shocked that C5 would put this out but I also can't help feeling critical of Angie for allowing that scene to be aired. Her 'grief' seemed so put on - especially after we heard her distaste and bitterness for Bowie before his death. I also don't agree that she knew he was dying as some posters suggested as NO ONE except his close family knew.

Like many people have said the only thing I didn't like was preview that was all about Angie reaction to David's death nothing about the other HM to promote the show.

It was tasteless, tacky and pretty disgusting. The way they used it to promote tonight's episode made me feel disgusted, angry and uncomfortable. They practically never ever do previews for the next episode and the fact they did it to try and get more viewers is outrageous.

She may have given them premission to talk about it in the DR but they could still handle it a lot better and with some compassion.

There have been plenty of "grief stricken" people being shown in the news who didn't know him.

Makes no difference that they had not spoken for years, it does not erase her involvement in his key early years, and their child together.

My 1st sister in law has not had dealings with my brother for over 20 years, she has kept his name and despite any bad feelings would be devastated if anything happened to him.

You're right - the fact she once loved him and lived with him would give her reason to grieve. (I do question the term 'grief stricken' for people who didn't know him though! Many people might grieve him if he'd been an important person in their lives, part of their youth etc but not STRICKEN, surely??)
Sorry, but I"m grieving myself at the moment (for real friends and family) and any false note of grief gets me going! And the allbeit brief glimpse we had in the DR of her reaction struck a very false note to me.

Really 1976???
Are you sure about that for a fact or did you just read it on the internet.
Do you think for a second that Iman didnt know he was married before?
Do you think realistically that angie didnt know db was dying.
Do you think she was on bb by chance the week he had an album coming out.
Come on.
seeing as only his closest friends knew I doubt that she knew tbh

She last saw him in person in 1976, 40 years ago yet still used his name all that time. She would never have been invited on this show (or any of the other jobs over 40 years) if her name was just plain old Angela Barnett. She would have been forgotten as soon as the divorce was finalised, which is why she kept the name. Her "job" for 40 years has been all about leeching off the Bowie name - Kerching.
Anyway my thoughts go out to his WIFE, Iman.
She hasn't seen Bowie since her son was four or five years old? but they was married from 1970-1980 which is when he would have been 9 or so? your figures seem a bit out to me tbh

Maybe it was damage limitation on her part, . She has spent years slagging him off, and in the midst of her latest stories, he dies. Appreciating what a big deal this would be, she had to be seen shedding some tears. IMHO l think her tears were real, and as a result of shock as the saying goes it's a thin line between love and hate.

I think she will be grieving. She has every right to feel grief in whatever way whether she had any contact over the years or not. I do however, think she may be more in shock first.

She may see some twisted benefit in staying and letting things air out on CBB. If its what she wants to do - then that is up to her. Im not judging her grief.
