Yes, of course, but she could also have said 'No, you're in a relationship.'

Yes, but, my point is she didn't do any cheating.

If she knew he had a g/f it makes her a lousy person. But it doesn't make her responsible for the cheating. The cheating is all on him. Unless you think "I couldn't help myself" is a valid excuse. He wasn't forced in to it.

I honestly started to find Bear... bearable. He'd cracked a few giggles from me - and then they threw in the ex and I've now lost complete respect for him.
I don't like Chloe, but I certainly don't blame her.

I honestly think that in that moment, Bear knew that he'd lose a lot of voters which is why he cried in the bathroom - to act like he was sorry. We need to remember what he's admitted - he knows how to play the game! I think if he'd been caught on the outside, we would of seen a much more care free attitude, but because a lot of females are voting him, he knows he's got some making up to do.

agree chloe is not at fault
and i agree its a bad thing to cheat and can't condone it but i will say going into bb and having a girlfriend of just 8 weeks im not that surprised or shocked he strayed

Exactly. I can't believe some of the rubbish on here as it is obviously Lillie, Bear's ex's fault. What is wrong with people

Thank goodness there is always a female around to blame when men cheat and someone like Bear can be made a victim and rehabilitated for the BB audience. Just in case his popularity was dipping

I agree it's 50/50. She knew he had a girlfriend, so it's just as much on her as it is on him.

They're both pretty vile.

Exactly !

I agree with most of the post here. It's Bear's fault and even if Chloe knew he was seeing someone it's still mostly Bear's fault as he's the one in the relationship, the amount of time they were together doesn't excuse that either.

THEY BOTH went in there to MAKE ROMANCE......as did LEWIS & MARNIE......

So bored with the showmances to earn money.......

Bear is bewildered now that he has not got a 'bit' to fall back on........

If you honestly think Chloe is to blame in any way shape or form you are sexist, plain and simple.

IF she knew Bear was in a relationship then you could use the "takes two to tango" defence but that is not what happened.

Plus it was Chloe who was being pestered into a showmance by Bear and not the other way round, the whole thing was his idea which she eventually went along with.

He wasn't seduced into cheating, he actively sought it out!

Great post, nicely said. I agree completely (not that you need my approval I just mean... well, you know what I mean ).

The question was 'cheating' - only one person was cheating, that's Bear. Who was Chloe cheating on?

But he couldn't cheat without her cooperation. So she's complicit in the action.

Chloe did not 'romance' him.....she shoved her tits out, and smiled sweetly when she got a response, from the only one that responded.....and he only responded because she was the only option....

He was clearly in the wrong, no question about it. However, Chloe is an adult and is responsible for her own actions. If she knowingly coupled up with a man who was not single, then she is also in the wrong, although less culpable than Bear, since the person they were both hurting was someone he was supposed to care about. It's a moot point, though, since there's a fair old chance that the whole thing was contrived, nay, pre-arranged.

Oh, there was no romance involved. It was a coupling of convenience.

But she didn't cheat. Was it the decent thing to do if she knew he was 'taken' - no. She still wasn't cheating on anybody though, he was. He knew he was with somebody else, nobody forced him to go after Chloe.

Did we even know that Bear had a girlfriend when he went with Chloe? I certainly didn't and as I remember zilch backlash on here I'm assuming no one else did either. So how do we know that Chloe knew It seems to me, and this is from Bear's mouth, that he wanted to end his relationship his girlfriend and realised that getting with someone in the House would facilitate that and then along came Chloe.

It's completely obnoxious and highly unfair to blame anyone but Bear for all his relationship issues. He is playing his heart out to win this show and having a showmance was part of that and Chloe is just a pawn in all of that like everyone else.

If she didn't know; that's one situation. If she did, or in a similar theoretical situation; then I don't & never have seen the difference between cheating and complicity in cheating. Mrs Doasyouwouldbedoneby & all that, the rest is hairsplitting in my (non-sexist) humble opinion.

However:


in this instance, mostly the above with a hefty dose of who knows & who cares.

If it hadn't been Chloe it would have been someone else.....Marnie was spoken for or she would no doubt have been his first choice.... He couldn't help himself... Lillie is best out of it !!!......

100% Bear, he was the one in a relationship.

To be fair you have to take a bit of responsibility yourself when you are known for dating reality stars who are known for putting it about.

Has Chloe cheated on her boyfriend too????

Bears fault.
He was attached, she wasn't.
