  • How is she putting on a posh accent? People behave differently when angry and most people swear when they are too! Any normal civilised person would apologise on daytime news as well, so how is that being 2faced?? I respect what this woman has done cos this proves that "NOT ALL" black people go around smashing things up and some have their heads screwed on...

  • And now it turns out she sells crack rocks. Classy lady.

  • LOL really made me laugh. speaks the truth though!

  • @1ukjunglednbraver What an ignorant statement to make. Every human being is different in different situations - aren't you? Or do you keep the same staid face of emotion through every situation? She got angry about a very emotive situation. There was nothing fake about this woman - she wasn't trying to be posh at all, that's her true self - you can tell. Get some empathy and stop being so bigoted.

  • More like heroin addict than heroine!

  • @OneGamblor your true self is what ever you choose to be that day

  • @1ukjunglednbraver I just don't like people who adapt to look better on tv because they are not portraying their true selves. If someone wants to speak ghetto then that's fine but don't pretend to be something your not. Your either posh or your not...

  • @OneGamblor we all poshen up a bit at timez or at least alot of us do....visits to the grandparents is one i can think of and work is number two....when your angry you use all sorts of crazy language and it doesnt sound the same as when your relaxed

  • @OneGamblor She was speaking in a different register, not accent. Or do you shout at the window to someone who cuts you off in traffic and almost causes an accident in the smae way you speak to a colleague at work?

  • Amen! For ALL the misplaced anger in the world.
