I absolutely agree with you on that one. Although the phrase was invented by President Richard Nixon, and it is slightly different, 'Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain'.
This lady is always made to appear insane, but really she's a lady of honesty and integrity. Her background has made her utterly independent and she is rightly disgusted by other people's self-serving, flexible versions of honesty.
W in the celebrity world, everyone is self-interested and vain. That would drive any normal person insane. They like winding her up because it makes good TV. She plays up to it because she knows she's expected to for money.
W Try putting yourself in her position. Would you have the strength? She is ultimately a good woman. The others on Loose Women are vain and would change their beliefs according to what they perceive is trendy and popular. Kim is Kim. What you see is what you get. People like her are a dying breed.
Kim is really nice, pleasant and lovely human being, watching this video has made me understand how she came over as a different person in BB, the other housemates were not helping, obviously Im sure that we can relate to Kim, she deserved better.
I've met Kim on two occasions, and the first thing that strikes you is that she is a very good and compassionate listener, she doesn't play on the fact she also has a very sad story to tell. What a LOVELY woman ! She deserves her success !
I’d like to meet Kim, she’s honest and can be brutally honest at times but she’s not a phoney. What you see is what you get and if people don’t ruffle her feathers I believe there is a good side to Kim.
After watching Kim on CBB and loose women I thought she'd lost her marbles. Now i can understand why Kim is the way she is sometimes, this lady is still healing .
My god my heart went out to the lovely Kim woodburn on loose women she was ambuched on that show Collen Nolan is a bully that Collen and sister had no respect what so ever for Kim they have no manners they are a disgrace what ever happened to not be disrespectful to your elders absolutely horrified I was crying could not belive what I was watching , Will not be watching that show ever again ever , Why did Collen not answer Katie Hopkins when she was annoyed about her sister on loose women her sister was not nice at all after all she didn't like her time in BB Collen did not do that to Katie Hopkins wonder why ,? Never in my life have I ever seen bullying especially to a elderly woman , Kim woodburn is a lovely woman ,
Frances Kellu wouldn’t say she is a lovely woman. She lives for controversy and she is a drama queen! Yes she has had a shitty childhood but that is no excuse for the way she talks to people
Colleen really is disgusting bully. She sat and laughed at Kim and ridiculed her as did the others. I've complained to Ofcom about the show. They have an online form you can fill in.
@@franceskellu3503 did we watch the same episode? Kim went out looking for a fight. She attacked every member of the panel, then played the victim when she couldn't win. She's not the only person in the world that's had a very bad childhood, but every time she goes on TV she seems to be angry and attack someone and use her past as a weapon and excuse. She clearly puts herself in these positions on purpose for cash, she even said so on this morning after cbb and on loose women. She's vile, money hungry and in need of psychological help.
"They say you don't miss what you never had" "of course you do" these are the truest words ever. Kim you are a lady. Strong classy wonderful woman xxx Coleen is despicable!!!
Coleen and Linda Nolan are those types of individuals who act all pious and as though their sh*t doesn't stink, yet they have the audacity to pick on Kim. Furthermore both sisters come across as shallow and would only like others for personal gain.
I knew there was a reason I liked her. Now it's been made all the more clear. My God, can I relate. You are a survivor, Kim. The Lord doesn't give you more than you can handle. Many happy returns, Dear.
The poor lady suffers from post traumatic stress disorder. Everyone on Loose Women knew this, yet they brought her on the show to get her angry and worked up. It's an absolute disgrace.
Understandable but she lashed out and called them stupid and talentless. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Just because someone said something horrible to you, you shouldn’t say something back. Hold your head up and be the bigger person. She’s a grown woman. I lost all respect for Kim when she said she stayed in CBB for money. Don’t know anyone who would stay somewhere they consider abusive for money. So so wrong.
Boo fucking Hoo, she had no worries coming on the show. They asked her if she would be comfortable and she said YES because she wants money if she really suffers ptsd so badly she would not of put herself in that position. Stop allowing people to play the victim
I always say that when you abuse a child (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual, or sexual, you break the child, and you break the adult they become. But depending on their fortitude, the child within the adult can build itself up. I find it amazing that this woman was treated so horribly by her parents especially her mother, but out of all the children, Kim is the only one who made a household name for herself. She truly deserves her success and her happiness.
This made me cry. I loved How Clean is your House. (She should have done it alone. Aggie was not very interesting telly) . You can see the pain in her eyes. It's a tribute to her inner strength that she's come so far.
I have never seen Kim so angry in all the time Ive seen her on TV, but knowing what she went through as a child has made us all realise that this is a lovely human being, who is also attractive, deserves much much better and not treated like faeces as she has been.
Obviously I don't know the full story, but it sounds like Kim was a victim of narcissistic abuse. I'm going through this with my mother and I can't put into words how awful it is and the permanent damage it leaves people, even when they reach adulthood. That kind of abuse in your formative years leaves someone completely broken. There are a a lot of good support groups for victims of it, and a lot of good books for grown up children of these type of abusers. But speaking personally, nothing can heal your broken heart. You can live with it and come through the other end, but the pain never really goes away, for myself at least.
D3LLBOII Thanks, I'm learning more and more about how to deal with it every day, there's some really good videos on here that are really helpful. I appreciate your kind comment x
sarah coz Almost fifty years later and me and my Mum struggle just the same. I hope you've found happiness, Dear. If not, never stop believing in love. And know that you are not alone. Be ever blessed.
Kim, you speak for all of us who knew and lived childhoods which were 'to use Richard Griffiths term "Loathsome'. It does shape you, but you carry it with you - giving you a big hug. XXXX
I always admired her. I feel very saddened by her story, she’s a real inspiration. I think because of her traumatic life she’s very sensitive and some people interpret that as snappy or argumentative but it’s obvious she felt people should be more tactful. In CBB it was clear that things escalated because of this, people didn’t know why she was upset with them. Not realising that she was genuinely upset and felt it was personal.
You are right Momoko, they seen her as different, and in the BB house, thought she was retaliative, confrontational, they didn't really care how she felt, they didn't have any feelings towards her.
I've always liked Kim Woodburn and she's great on TV. You can see why she is popular. Now that I've heard about her childhood I admire her even more. She's been through a lot of pain and didn't turn into a bad person or take it out on others. She's very classy and beautiful on the inside and outside.
She is popular because she is a fucking nutter, how is she beautiful inside and out when all she does is attack people because they don't have the same opinions as her she is nothing but an intimidating aggressive old cunt
Sorry, where did I insult the commenter? want an example? how about when she attacked another women because she didn't like pet names such as "darling" or "love" and Kim just insults her the entire time calling her stupid, yet SHE is the one who is bullied and hard done by lol i don't think so
I was disgusted at the behaviour of those who treated. Kim so badly. It seemed they were so determined to behave so disgusting. At least Kim is an honest woman. She’s right there are so many people who as she say are two faced. . Well done Kim . X
A great deal of respect for this woman. No wonder self-important, spoilt-rotten, ganghanded bullies piss her royally off. They are clueless. Bless you Kim. Well done. Well lived.
ava lawrence I think it's common to this day. Breaks my heart to think of little children being scarred by loveless parents. But I'm sure it still goes on.
So very sad. My wife suffered the same childhood and she is now 60, and talks about longing for a loving mother like her friends had. Her mother is now 81 and is still the same bitter, sarcastic and mean woman she always was. I thank Kim for doing this because it really brought home to me what my wife must have gone through, and gives me a better understanding of her grief for a lost childhood.
I find comfort in Kim for some reason, I’ve always thought she was a great woman. Despite the issues she may have, a strong and honest, inspirational woman.
Don’t worry Kim, although you had an awful upbringing you have captured the hearts of many many people around the world. And you have so much love coming your way
Her autobiography is worth a read. Such a harrowing life. Even as she got older as well. I feel that is why she is the way she is. And acts the way she acts. 😢
Thats why Kim is straight forward in what she says. She was abused as a kid and now as an adult she wont take any shit from no one. I hope her mother is proud of what she did to Kim. Kim could have turned to drink and drugs to block out the pain but she never and she has a good job and her life is great now. Stay strong Kim xxx
definitely know how Kim feels I was abused as a child as well not by my mother but by my father and my step father the only thing my mother did wrong when she didn't protect me
I had my own narcissist mother. I know exactly how she feels. It hurts forever. You never get over being treated like that and your siblings side with your abuser. Being the family scapegoat is heartbreaking.
Kim, I'm so sorry to hear about what happened in your family between your mum and dad and how your mum treated you so unfairly and wrongly. Love you Kim, you're a very dear lady and I'll never forget how you have the courage to tell people how it is but also the common decency (which doesn't seem so common nowadays) and care to want to help people clean up their homes and in turn their lives to a degree. People love honesty, integrity and truthfulness. You're not just any old cleaner and celebrity! Remember you're the Countess of Clean and a precious human being with a lovely character who has dignity and value and I for one am glad you came into this world. I bought your's and Aggie's book the other day. 'The cleaning Bible'. So helpful and full of nuggets of cleaning wisdom. 🌷🌷🌷
Thank you Kim for sharing this part of your life. It seems we have a few things in common ... and you have given me strength and hope that I too can make something of my life... in spite of! Thank you, you truly are an inspiration!
I’m sure Kim had her reasons for going back to that house but I think it would bring back very painful memories 😔. I’ve read her book and think she should do a part two x
You are an inspiration, and hearing this documentary has broken my heart in half. God bless you Miss Kim, you may forever be longing the love you feel you never got, but the love a nation feels towards you is immense. All my love x
Very sad story. Brought tears to my eyes... but her ability to not let it crush her is inspiring... I wish she could have had kids of her own to love. Truely misunderstood woman.
Kim reminds me of this quote from Kahlil Gibran : “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.”
Those who have been in the deepest valley, have the deepest hearts. I've always seen this in Kim. She always protects others. Purity of heart and soul, beautiful and so strong
She reminds me of the old ladies of the east end. If u messed with them they would give as good as they get. Other than that they were the most generous and fun to be with. They always took care of their own and grafted hard. She’s always had to fight her own battles and become always on the defensive in the process. It obvious the ghosts of her past never left her and her wounds are wide open. I think some love patience respect and understanding is all she really wants. This always brings out the best in people. I wish u happiness and love Kim.
A beautiful strong fiesty lady who has her share of pain and because of all this she will stand up for herself and her beliefs Kim should have her own show great personality what you see is what you get I understand where she coming from after watching the video bless you Kim
This is so moving. I've watched Celebrity Big Brother & the Loose Womans fallout & find it all very sad & upsetting for all concerned: Kim is hypervigilant because of her phycological traumas, the big brother's house is set up to twist your mind, trust & behavior so this would've been re-traumatising for Kim growing up with mind games etc... This would add to Kim's black & white intensity which can also, rightly or wrongly, make her (counter) bully another. To Kim she's speaking the truth & defending herself against imminent danger so will not relent, we see this in her accusatory/attacking response to Linda's desire to comfort her, she also physically defends (non-violently) herself from perceived threat because she is able to decern Linda's intention - this is very hurtful to those falsely accused! Sadly, this makes Kim more likely to experience negativity from others because of her unjust responses to the context of a situation, like a self-fulfilling prophecy! However, that doesn't mean she always perceives people wrongly, just that either way her response will be fueled with the ancient guttural pain, fear, and anger from her past too! On a positive note: There are therapies out there that help with Complex/Post-traumatic stress behaviors. EMDR therapy is excellent in helping suffers wounds heal, & find much need peace of mind - I can personally vouch for that :)
Love you kim. God bless and keep you, make his face shine upon you, and give you peace. Don't stop believing in yourself. Your personality is so refreshing, you are so entertaining. You are loved and cherished by your heavenly Father. I look forward to seeing you on the telly each time you're on. Chin up, and God bless xxx
What a lady Kim is I never knew the pain and sadness she went through I'm so glad I saw this IV nothing but respect for you Kim big hugs to you xxxxxxxx
Amazing woman who has taught me so much ! I send her all of my love and prayers and hope nothing but happiness finds her. She is so funny , sweet and an amazing cleaner !
She’s a complicated soul. Entertaining and charismatic, she has her flaws, but you can see where it comes from. She strikes before she feels she will be struck.
When I first saw you in YT...I just fell in love with you.I thought how lovely would it be to have you as a mother. After knowing your childhood I feel more connected..coz my story is somewhat similar..my mom too hates me coz she finds me like my father..I love you Kim...
Bless, I have read your book detailing your childhood and it broke my heart. Long may you remain on the very tallest of mountains and enjoy the view. XxX
I’m sure I heard the story that she had a child when she was very young that died and she buried this child herself without telling anybody at that time. What a strong wonderful person she turned out to be....not many could cope with all these awful memories.
This woman is truly amazing! I remember growing up people called her a cheap commoner because of her dressing attire. But she is a highly elegant lady with sophistication and knows what it is like to come from nothing. She hasn't forgotten her roots and walks with her head held high. I love her
Strong beautiful amazing woman, I too had a similar childhood, learned tough lessons early on, but that's what pushed me up that mountain also kim💕💕💕💕💕
