If it was just being supportive to a friend, then that's exactly what Gemma was doing as well. Why isn't she getting credit for it?

So Gemma gets a hammering, and Tiffany gets excuses, as per usual.

Johns the test - she obviously brownosed the others. But John, because she believed he is unpopular on the outside

She gave a kicking too...

Why is it strange ? She's always been friends with Gemma and Danni . Never seen her talk to Steph .

I was a fan, now I'm almost embarrassed for her. To be ostracised like she was and painted as some kind of violent unhinged brute was indicative of certain treatments afforded to certain sections of society. However her response to it of late is also indicative of the shameless bumlicking desperation of certain responses to that treatment. That inability to stand alone even when the people you are trying to stand with have thoroughly and viscerally rejected you. It's so sad and desperate and belies a complete lack of integrity or inner strength. The street talk and head shakes are just a front for a little girl who can't bear to be alone with her own thoughts and feelings. No matter how much she has been tested unfairly in my opinion, unfortunately I can only see her as a failure in the end.

^^^ I made the above post slagging her off this morning and I now realise that that was just Monday morning talking. My grumpiness met her playfulness and it turned into puritan condemnation and a pseudo Black Power rant. I take it back. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. Let the woman enjoy herself.

Gemma got a hammering for leading a breakout again with Dani. Tiff merely offered initial support after having found Dani crying in the toilet earlier. She is kind but Gemma is an attention seeking bullying drama queen.

I find it weird when posters want HMs to be judged as if they have no past or other elements to their character but the single incident under discussion. Or indeed as if we are in a court of law or are journalists and must always remain 100% impartial . Why

Clearly there are more facets to people and explanations to their actions and clearly we warm to some more than others and are going to find it easer to find explanations for their actions. This is what happens in every day life so has to be reflected on here.
