Well, I'm of the view that we're all products of the society around us. The fish is in the water and the water is in the fish. From what I've read in various sources it seems apparent Rachel was brought up in a scum ridden cesspit and has picked up a great deal of the characteristics intrinsic of such a hell hole ; Teenage pregnancy, substance abuse (alcohol and drugs), unemployed, and most shocking of all to a Conservative like myself having her children taken from her because she's not fit for purporse. Such a sad state of affairs.

A very narrow minded opinion many many people give up drugs for good much more so than those that sadly never do.

So on one level you state Rachel is a product of society and her upbringing yet you still blame her.

Not only blame her but seek to deny her the chance to move out of the 'cesspit' of her background with the platitude of 'a leopard can never change its spots'. It's a bit of a no win situation for anyone unfortunate enough to be born to the wrong people isn't it?

OMG why the comparison with Rhydian?! Being a bit of a diva hardly compares with drug allegations!

Perhaps not in the same league but still both [to date] unsubstantiated allegations with no known foundation in reality.

I'm glad someone else has mentioned this as I asked in another thread about Rachel which room she was in and no one answered me.

It looks like she might be in a room on her own.

rachel has a god given talent, but i do worry that "fame" and a " celebrity" stutus will merely fan the flames that still remain from her past, and that she will get in with the wrong kind of people yet again. Sadly the industry shes going into is well known for the bid "D" word.

I wish her all the best, but if it is true, and she did have cannabis at bootcamp, then she only has herself to blame. She was the one that said she doesn't use drugs anymore on the audition show.

LOL at the Daily Mirror quote

That does read very funny!

Hate the DM but yes... that is brilliant!
