Hes put that really well. Hope she gets what she wants.

So do I Gypsie, I cant get my head around this being covered up 

So much for all their guff about after care.

Thanks Dame Ann.

Pleasure Leccy, I can fully understand Marco posting the original message and update, it seems BB after care is about as helpful as a therapist wearing a straight jacket    I just think thye want the truth to be told to be honest and who can blame them.

Thanks dame. I'd be furious if I had been so badly misrepresented. BB must take this up. Having said that, they probably don't give a monkey's anymore. It's over on Friday and if there are casualties by the wayside, so what. I'd have a bit more understanding if they had contacted her over the weekend.

*removes strait jacket*

Me too Cologne, he should have been showed the door earlier. I'm not condoning Nadia's temper tantrums. but it does put a different light on what may have contributed to her mood swings. 
I liked her in BB 5, I disliked her in this one, but she should have had a level playing field, which is now blatantly obvious she didn't,

now why does that not surprise me 

If it's true that he elbowed her in the back on purpose he should have been turfed out for that alone.

Eventually it may all come to light Leccy, but the Endermol/Channel4 cover up just made the whole episode worse. If the public had been able to see these allegations we could have then judged Nadia and equally Coolio's behaviour.

I admit I was a Coolio fan and I'm disappointed at what seems to be coming to light.  However... this comment kinda discredited what Marco was saying somewhat (not that I disbelieve everything I hasten to add)    If a HM deliberately assaulted someone, there's no way they'd be left in the house IMO.   That's a criminal offence, which would be caught on camera.   I have to say it was interesting the amount of rational people who, whilst being supportive of the major issue (as I am), were telling Marco he was going about this all the wrong way.    I didn't see his BB, but he's coming over as a bit of drama queen having a hissy fit.   If he's a lawyer, I'm glad he's not mine.    Lost in showbiz... rounding up a load of forum villagers with pitchforks ain't the way forward.

Oh God, drama queen doesn't even cover it, he was hysterical...I actually thought he'd seemed to have calmed down a lot judging by his posts

Blimey!    I actually think he's doing her more harm than good tbh.      She needs to forget about BB and publicity and get herself sorted.    He seems to be revelling in it.. a poor man's Max Clifford.

Well said Kaffy! I commented to that effect early on when Marco's original post on DS was shown here. Pleading for help on a forum about something this serious only goes to discredit any legal case she may have against C4 and Endemol.

I just wanted to say a deeply felt thank you to everyone who took the time to post in the initial thread and private messaged words of kindness and encouragement to Nadia. Everything has been read and all warm sentiments past forward. I feel I owe it to you all to provide an update. Nadia is beginning to seem a little more stable over the past day, we've been sharing little laughs and ordered in a nice lunch. She had otherwise been fairly inconsolable over the weekend.

Having learnt the full extent of editted misrepresentation between herself and Coolio, the more upset she's become and determined to share the truth of events. It's clear that several direct incidents of transphobic abuse have been cut, including:

- Coolio refusing to refer to Nadia as a she and calling her 'he', and more hurtfully, 'it', directly to her and other housemates.
- Frequently asking whether Nadia still had male parts despite warnings from Big Brother.
- Deliberately elbowing Nadia painfully in the back while walking past during a dinner.
- Coolio receiving 3 verbal warnings from BB specifically for abusive and threatening behaviour against Nadia, and
- Being *asked* to leave the Big Brother house, not requesting to leave as a result of his persistent abuse, not because Nadia irrationally lost her temper over a pair of hidden shoes (without context of the abuse).

Emily Big Brother 8, by contrast, had been removed from the Big Brother house for saying a single racist word. Nadia was at the receiving end of days of transphobic abuse.

She was also horrified to hear Davina's comments on Big Mouth about 'boyish good looks', amongst other jibes. Racial jokes would not be tolerated so she is at a loss and devastated to see such transphobic comments screened, especially by an influential TV presenter who she once admired. The transphobic slurs made and broadcast on Big Mouth and BBLB merely seem to reinforce BB’s position that transphobia is fully permitted and allowed by the BB platform.

Nadia has not heard from senior producers since Saturday afternoon and feels they have directly failed her, skirting all contact despite numerous and repeated requests to speak. I am requesting now that you APPEAL with your feet and words. If you feel strongly about this matter and want to do something to directly help Nadia now, please complain to OFCOM about this matter:

https://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/te...-programme-epg

You can also contact the senior producer directly:

Sharon Powers:



Please help Nadia to get the truth known. I will also be starting an online petition. Help to restore some credibility lost by a flagrant unfair portrayal which has shattered her.



(Decided to post it on here)

I think the pair of them should go away on holida have a few drinksy and forget all about it. It's a TV programme.

No doubt Coolio was totally out of order ...............in RL I suspect Nadia has encountered far worse. I'm not saying that it makes it right but ....................it's being blown up out of all proportion IMO.

These ex BB 'celebs' have an over inflated sense of their own importance IMO.

it really is time to move on. It was a nasty episode but no one died.

Up till now I've agreed with everything you've said on this (from what I've seen) - but don't agree with this bit. From what I've read the situation has been seriously damaging to her.

I can understand Marco's initial post about the whole issue and wanting to put her side of things across, but I don't think the latest update needed to go into as much detail. It just seems to be a fight between Nadia and Marco v's Endemol and C4 now, and his detailed updates to the public and what seems to have a sniff of desperation are devaluing his argument. I support Nadias case all the way and will do unless I hear or see factual evidence to believe she has lied, but Marco really needs to stop revealing the legal stuff. Fine, let those who want to know how she's getting on, but I do think the legal side of things should be kept private, otherwise a lot of it could be used in the Ofcom complaints (i,e; 'The producers haven't contacted Nadia since Saturday' 'The aftercare team haven't looked after her' that kinda thing) and it will end up in such a shoddy mess that it wont be taken seriously and Nadia and Marco will be torn to shreds by Endemol's lawyers.

That's how I see it too Karma, Marco helped Nadia go public with it and if the allegations are true I agree with that. I can't imaging how she must have felt, but now it needs to be dealt with privately. I hope Endermol clarify the situation for her, either deny it happened, which the seem reluctant to do, or confirm they handled things appallingly.

I didn't know Marco as a HM.   I've just watched the fight night video.   It gives the motivation for his actions here even less credibility.

Marco was at the very heart of fight night.
I did laugh when Marco said "I might clean up" and Jason said "I might just smash your f***ing head in"

He really should use spellcheck.

Yes he was.  What a truly awful, vile little man.

I don't blame Jason at all - I dunno how he kept his hands off Marco.

Although i have every sympathy if his behaviour was as described and is a disgrace 


but  she hasn't shown herself in a good light since she graced our screens on BB5


incidents shes been involved in fight night, demanding cigarettes or threatening to leave during BB5, talking to Ulrika like crap during plate gate, showing herself up on come dine with me, being a bitch, apparently her diva like behaviour whilst filming the funeral scene for bb, also my mate met her in Ayia napa and they went over to say hi and she looked at them in disgust i never liked her

You missed out her behaviour on last night's CDWM

well, i reckon she needs to shut up and go away, if she doesnt like what fame brings then she should remain out of the media.
it is sadly inevitable even in these enlightened times that anyone deemed not `normal` will be targeted and ridiculed.If she could keep her head and rise above it instead of carrying on like a fishwife harridan diva then she may be of some use in changing peoples attitudes.
rant over

Is it a coincidence that this was screened last night, or did C4 do it to show everyone that her UBB behaviour was typical of her?

blackpudlian i put that on my list showing herself up on come dine with me

I think it has been scheduled for a while, hasnt helped tho, has it ?

I think so too. If by any chance she had still been in the house I think it would have well and truly scuppered her chances. What a thoroughly nasty woman she is ...........who does she think she is?

Shizzlex
I'm so sorry - I've been "having one of those days" all week.
My poor brain is fading fast

Dear Marco I hope they realese the unedited taped of UBB, then I hope they also release the unedited tapes of fight night, to see if Nadia slapped vanessa and Jason

The Golden Goose has stopped laying.

i think marco's championing of nadia is not doing her any favours.

Which is what I was trying to say but I used about 668,237 more words to do it

(And ello petal! xx)

If I were Nadia, Marco would be the last person I would want championing me.

I agree LL, Nadia has made a few bad judgements, this being another one ......
