I don't believe all this 'I'm just proud I've done my kids proud' rubbish. Daniella Westbrook wants to work again. She used CBB as a therapeutic intervention. I'll wait and see how she fares before praising her for being 'real'. Being Daniella hasn't ever done her any favours in the past, she needs to put that person behind her and go forward in LIFE in a way that makes her family feel safe and secure.”
It's not justified to be so unpleasant. Luisa was just nasty, and thought she would humiliate and upset Daniella. How is that justified?
There has been lots of nasty talk on here about Daniella but the vast majority of it has been jaundiced exaggerated nonsense. She's not wicked she is just struggling with her addictions, all the things she has messed up, her lack of intellect and being lumbered with a chaotic history. I'm not. A Dani fan but she's nowhere near as bad as Luisa.
If you don't believe she wants to show herself in a good light for her kids benefit. Then you don't, but there isn't any reason to doubt her other than prejudice. It seems perfectly reasonable to me and she seems sincere when she says it.
As for using CBB as therapy, well that's pure bilge. She has had expensive therapy and interventions. CBB is a danger for her and Darren but they are both handling the tests in there quite well,
She is in CBB to improve her image and hopefully get work. That's the same as all of them. Every one.
