Viewers' anger at Brother 'bully'


De-Gale has been reprimanded for her "abusive behaviour"


Hundreds of Big Brother 9 viewers have complained to media watchdog Ofcom about alleged bullying by housemate Alexandra De-Gale.
Ofcom received 433 complaints about Alexandra's behaviour after she abused three fellow contestants.
Channel 4 confirmed it had received "around 300" complaints immediately after the broadcast on Tuesday night.
It said she had been reprimanded for "unacceptable behaviour", but said the atmosphere in the house had improved.
The row - broadcast in Tuesday night's highlights show - broke out after fellow housemate Rebecca Price offered to cook some food and then burnt the chips, prompting a stream of abuse from Alexandra.
"If you want to play games with your food, do it at home," the 23-year-old shouted at Rebecca.
Rachel Rice and Stephanie McMichael went to Rebecca's defence, but were confronted by more abuse, leaving Rachel in tears.
"It's bullying and it upsets me," she said in the diary room.
Monitoring
"Following the argument between Alex, Rebecca, Stephanie and Rachel, Big Brother called Alex to the diary room and reminded her of the rules regarding unacceptable behaviour," said a statement released by Channel 4.
"Alex is getting on with her fellow housemates and the atmosphere in the house has been calmer, but as ever Big Brother is closely monitoring the housemates and house activity."
Housemate Rice complained to Big Brother about "bullying"


A spokeswoman added that Thursday night's episode would include footage of Alexandra in the diary room saying she had curbed her behaviour since the incident.
This year's Celebrity Big Brother was axed after the 2007 version attracted a record 45,000 complaints to Ofcom. The row centred on the alleged bullying of Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty by fellow contestants Jade Goody, model Danielle Lloyd and singer Jo O'Meara. The watchdog found that Channel 4 breached its code of conduct and made "serious editorial misjudgements".

Get that bitch out.

[BertRoot]

I watched it last night and have to say the girl is a weapons grade cunt. Hoof her out.

[liveseytowers]

I might even plug the home phone in to vote to get her out. Can't stand the biatch.

[Kushty]

Why do you all want to get rid of her if she's a bully and a bitch? That's what big brother's made for, if it was utopian no one would watch it!

Alex 'expelled from school over drugs'

Alexandra's former schoolmates have claimed that she bullied pupils at one school and was thrown out of another for alleged drug-taking.

Zoe Dunn said the Croydon-based single mother bullied her at school for years and was part of a gang who beat her up.

The Sun quotes her as saying: "She used to call me white trash, white slag. If white girls hung out with black kids, she'd give you a hard time."

Dunn added: "She was chucked out aged 15 when she fell pregnant. My blood boils when I see her on TV."

Another former classmate said Alexandra was expelled from a separate school when she was 13 for allegedly smoking cannabis.

Alexandra bullied girls at work

A former colleague has claimed that Alexandra bullied girls at work, according to The Mirror.

Talking about her time in Thomson Directories telesales in Purley, Surrey, former boss Jake Homatas said: "She made a lot of enemies. She bullied girls or people who can't carry themselves in conversation.

"No one in the office could handle her, so the company put her on field sales after 2 months just to get rid of her. She could do the job - she just couldn't work with anyone else."

Complaints about Alexandra's behaviour are continuing to pour in. TV watchdos Ofcom yesterday said that it had received 505 complaints - 361 of these were about Alex's behaviour towards Rebecca after she burnt a pan of chips.

A Channel 4 executive said: "There won't be a repeat of last year's scenes. We are aware of our responsibilities."

Charley: 'Alex is worse than me'

Big Brother 8 star Charley Uchea has accused current housemate Alexandra of being "violent" and "horrible".

The 22-year-old said Alex's behaviour in Tuesday's row over burned chips was more aggressive than her own last year.

She told The Sun: "When I first saw Alex I thought, 'Here we go, we've got one that's trying to be a bit like me'. I thought 'no competition though', do you know what I mean?

"But I also just think that she's horrible. You can be a bitch, don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being a bitch. But at the same time she's being really aggressive and really violent with it.

"She's making me look like I wasn't that terrible."

Uchea, 22, added: "What’s the point of going on Big Brother to make yourself look like a complete and utter arsehole?"

[diablos]

You have to feel sorry for how her kid will get treated from now from other kids or how the poor kid has been dragged up in the first place by that nutter.

If she was white she would have been shown the door by now as i certainly found her more offensive than horsefacegrace.
