I do think Lorraine’s show and Loose Women should be scrapped - along with This Morning. I think that all the contributors on these shows perpetuate such outdated views that just simply aren’t reflective of society today, and certainly don’t help the cause. I wish Lorraine had talked about how unfair the comments on Zara’s post are and were, and instead talked about how internalised misogyny is a thing…! People need to learn and do better
I am so glad you have said this and said it so well . The comment section of any article that discusses this is FULL of women berating Zara and saying she can’t hack it basically. And I find that so disheartening and depressing for victims x
This is a great piece of writing. I'm abroad and was looking for info on the grazianno scandal. Everything I was reading was very much victim blaming and I couldn't even see exactly what he did. Thank you for this. It's disgusting how Zara and other women are treated or fear they will be treating by giving an honest account of their experiences.
The BBC do not have a good track record of handling this kind of stuff so this sadly doesn’t surprise me but it’s certainly taken the shine off Strictly for me!
Thank you for speaking up on this. Lorraine Kelly has daughters which baffles me, imagine if one of them suffered DV just because she was ‘fragile’ and didn’t ‘gel’ with her partner. Honestly mind blowing.

I think Strictly has had its day, the last few series I haven’t watched and now with this I think it’s done.
Thank you for articulating what I think so may of us want to say!
Lorraine, wow. Is she genuinely ok?

Sadly, having daughters doesn’t make someone empathetic or caring.
So well said! X
