Black Mirror-Hated in the Nation?

This is the dangerous side of social media, hounding people and making death threats to them because of their reality tv show "mistakes". I
Both Pallett and Coleen Nolan have been subjected to this kind of over-reaction in the past week. I am no fan of either and their actions may or may not have been awful, but the scales have tipped now so that the public reaction has become like mob mentality. Both women seem in a fragile state and their are suggestions of suicidal feelings. Do we want to be responsible for that?

Frankly it's all been a bit ridiculous really. Pallett was out of order and did wrong but some people seem to want blood. Some people are acting like she's the first celeb to do something wrong. Also there's a kind of "selective moral high ground" in today's society via things like twitter and facebook, even among other celebs, that disgusts me.

For instance, Leslie Grantham who played Den had actually killed someone and he was a popular soap star. Now I get that in the 80's prior to the internet it wouldn't have been known much when he was first in Eastenders but it was well known by the time he returned in 2003 and I don't remember people with their pitchforks out. And I'm not saying they should have been but the fact remains he had taken an innocent person's life in a robbery when he was younger. Jim Davidson was very abusive to one wife in particular and he bullied Brian Dowling on TV but then he went onto be popular among many and won CBB. Pete Burns actually bullied Traci Bingham on CBB "just for fun" until she cried and he was loved on Bit On The Side. Even Denise Welch has had the pitchfork out over Pallett and she's the woman who on CBB was acting like a bullied victim of Michael Madsen just because he didn't gave her the attention she craved!

I'm not defending Pallett but the witch hunt should end I think and the death threats are just over the top. Hopefully it's just because it's so recent that the anger's so volatile. And I do completely understand the anger from people who are actually abused and from people who have wrongly accused, especially with the recent #metoo movement.

I don't know if Pallett is just a vindictive person, as some of her ex-Emmerdale co-stars have said or she's mentally ill but either way she's paid the price for it. She's lost her panto gigs, her radio job... and she's permanently tarnished. What else can be done? I'd really hate to hear that she actually was attacked or she'd committed suicide because of it. And if she is actually mentally ill, I hope she gets help.
