0:05.7

Morning everybody, welcome along to your free podcast for today.

0:08.8

Well, the hot story on the front of the papers was Chloe Madeley.

0:12.3

Now, I don't wish to be rude about Chloe Madeley, but I've never had too much time for her.

0:17.2

She's tried every which way to be famous.

0:20.3

She's been on reality shows. She's been out with high-profile people. She's sold every story that she can to OK magazine. It's boring. It's really, really boring. But this time, what she does is she, in the light of her mother, Judy Finnegan, has received threats from people saying that they're going to rape her.

0:44.0

I mean, she says I've been violated my own home by a coward on Twitter.

0:48.0

So it's obviously only one person. It's one person.

0:51.6

This follows the outrage after Judy appeared to defend Chad Evans. She said the crime

0:57.2

was not violent and didn't cause bodily harm, et cetera, et cetera. And of course, women groups were

1:02.0

outraged all over the place. But irrespective of that, because that's just, you know, that's just

1:06.4

Judy Finnegan. That's what she said. She's got to live with it. I think she got it around the wrong

1:10.3

way, but it doesn't really matter. So the light of that, Chloe Madeley, got some people saying,

1:15.5

okay, if your mother thinks it's all right, we're going to come around and rape you. I think

1:18.9

it's only the first person. She knows how Twitter operates. She's not an idiot. She's 27. She needs to grow up a little bit. The one thing you don't do is respond to these people. You don't write back and say, you know, don't send me these sort of things. It's insulting. In what should be a private space, his words were a shocking violation, grow up, get over yourself. Everybody in the business deals with this on a daily basis, a daily basis. You know, I wouldn't, I wouldn't worry about it too much. You know, if you want to make a big drama out of it, then make a big drama out of it. But I really wouldn't worry about it. He's not going to come and rape you. Absolutely not. She says, I may be 27, but I'm still her little girl. Well, so you might be, darling. But if you want to take it further, then go to the police. You make the complaint and let them deal with it. You know, don't go writing your story in the papers and doing it because I'm just, you know, I can just see there's going to be a feature in OK magazine. You know, now I'm better. We sort of do, we found out who this man was and I've decided not to do anything else at all. You know, now I'm better. We sort of, we found out who this man was and I've decided not to do

2:18.5

anything else at all. You know, people go to prison for these sort of offences. Last month, the man who

2:23.6

abused the Labour MP, Stella Creasy, threatening to rape and murder, it was jail for 18 weeks.

2:28.6

So she says here, for me, the insults usually focus on my looks, my figure and my family, all highly emotive

2:34.7

personal subjects. Well, get over yourself then. You know, if you don't actively seek publicity,

2:39.3

Chloe, and your looks have nothing to do with it, you're very average, very average, your

2:43.7

family, of course, people, because that's what you do. You sell every aspect of this.

2:49.0

You know, your figure, nobody's interested. If you go out of your way to upset people, then you've got to expect the backlash. You've got to expect it. I mean, you're 27 for God's sake. Grow up. Grow up. You know, go to the police, report it. But, you know, you appear to be sort of reveling in the fact that this has happened to. It happens to loads of people every single day.
