abi disappointed with interview I saw I live and feel Dear late Gay give her a hard interview but I loved Gay with more mature mind yoy see the wold is so different it was apaproiiate at time
I am so proud of Annie Murphy, what a brave woman. I cannot imagine what she went through at the time and over the years. As for the the women in the audience attack her and as for Gay he was less than professional and very rude to her, there’s no words to describe their behaviour. She was stronger than any of them and I’m sure has no regrets and has had and given much love to her son Peter. I am full of admiration for you Annie Murphy. Live your best live💖
Annie was so brave, fair play to her for speaking her truth, little did she know about caseys prolific past and future. I pray she and her precious son are doing brilliant today🥰💖xx
Gay apologised, rightly, to Annie after this interview. He admitted that he had lost his professional objectivity during their discussion. She brushed off his apology. Annie told Gay that his brusque manner was mild compared to her treatment by the USA media. Annie told Gay that his antagonistic attitude towards her was indicative of the contemporary Irish people's view of her. Although a scandal at the time, Annie and Eamon's affair, was mild compared to the later revelations of clerical sexual abuse. These horrendous crimes were compounded by the Catholic Church and Irish state's failure to acknowledge and address the harm done.
He was always incredibly patronising amd judgemental! I'm 35 now and as a young person at the time he encapsulated everything that bored me about certain irish people. My parents loved him of course. Everyone did
I was friends with Peter Murphy during my childhood in Simsbury, Connecticut, and also got to know his mother. They were lovely people. When the Eamon Casey scandal broke in 1992, I reconnected with Peter...but then we lost touch. I moved to Los Angeles in 1996, and am sorry I never connected with Annie while she was in Riverside, CA. Looking back, she was a woman with much bravery, and she and Peter were very, very kind to me.
It's so lovely to read your connection to Annie and Peter, it's a story I have followed and so impressed with Annie on the Late Late show, Not sure if you are aware of the present situation about Casey and if his body should be removed from the crypt under the church given to recent disclosures , Annie got a rough time from those women lined up against her on the Late Late show, l wonder what they think about Casey now and what he did to his niece and other children.
I hope Annie and Peter are both ok and they feel vindicated that the real true colours of Eamonn Casey were revealed in recent times as the multiple child molester he was. I hope they are not affected by this but know that times have changed for the better since 1993. I think they’re welcome would be much better now.
I always felt gb was so patronizing...i remember him asking a man in the audience what he did for a living and when he said unemployed...he dismissed his comment...
I watched this tonight and remember seeing it in 1993, breathtaking in how mysoginistic the whole thing is. Such class displayed by Annie Murphy in remaining incredibly dignified
Totally agree! Chauvinistic males, and self-righteous audience women, playing the victims to support a sexually active secretive bishop they love. What a joke. It’s like devout Christian’s here in USA supporting a cheating, lying, criminal in trump. Truth hurts
This interview is twisted and unfair. Shame on this guy. I’ve have never seen this show, but his motive was to belittle this woman. She rose to the occasion. .
True.Thankfully Ireland is in a different position now. In those days the clergy ruled the country, the government were puppets of the Catholic Church.😮
Omg, I remember that interview and thought how unfeeling Gay was. But, after watching it all again I think what a horrible interview that was and how composed Anne stayed. I really hope we have come a long way since then. The way he allowed those people to speak to her for so long was just terrible.
Ps. The wrong in this was not what went on with the people involved, it was the terrible way this lady was treated by the Irish people and especially Gay Byrne ☘️☘️
I hope life worked out well for Annie and Peter, the way she was treated on the Late Late Show by Gay and the women lined up in the front row. ,,,lF his son is half the man his father was,, l loved her response to Gay when he said that,,, I am not so bad either,,,
Such a pity that Gay was so horrible to this woman as he not only let her down but let himself down also. Just showed his real character and the Ireland the church groomed. Makes my stomach sick to watch the way that lady was treated and a lady she was and is.
We have to remember that “Bishop” Casey was revered and fooled every single person of a particular persuasion of his innocence. It is now public knowledge that this person abused his own niece from the ages of FIVE, and how many more. Ireland was still a very immature country in regards to abuse by the church at this time. It was only years later that it all came out. God Bless Sinead O’Connor for highlighting it, but see again, destroyed by the public and the press. Gay Byrne was guilty, like the rest of us, of believing the lies and deception of Casey and Cleary, lies, lies and more lies. We were a very different country then, we have grown up a bit more, but still a long way to go….
That old woman in the pink cardigan (the Bishop's secretary) represents a very old fashioned reverence to the Clergy taking their side in blind obedience...and her sister in the glasses.
Back then yes, now I think she would not be facing against so much. She did say in an interview a few years back that she is amazed at how Ireland has changed.
@@timcotter8879 I remember watching this when it was broadcast. Was in shock how dreadfully abnoxious Gay was with Annie.And then the holier than thou group in the audience added to it. The secretary could have lost a couple of teeth there with her vicious spewing. The dignity Annie showed them was amazing. I never really liked Gay always thought he was too arrogant. Only watched because he had good guests on.
@@bettymermaid8346 l have the highest admiration for Annie and Peter, Annie was sent to Ireland to recover and I believe Annie's father thought the Bishop would take care of her, l will never forget the line up in the front row,,,,now Annie that never happened because,,,,
How many woman had to give up their children that were raped by the those fuckers, because they would never be believed. Probably put into mad house's as punishment. Bastards
Byrne let himself down so much with this interview. He had his attack dogs in the audience ready for the second half of the interview. As we now know Casey was'nt the sexually inexperienced man we heard of in this interview.
Big time stain, You could see the tone in his voice early in the interview.Annie got a rough time from those women lined up against her on the night.I hope Annie and Peter are doing well, .
@@bettymermaid8346 Thanks for that, l am beyond sad to hear that about Annie, a dignified woman even under scurrilous attack especially on the Late Late Show.l hope Peter is doing well.
@@bettymermaid8346 There's was one particular part of the Late Late show that stands out,,,,You were more experienced than the Bishop in so far as he was inexperienced, presumably. There is a big debate at the moment as to whether his remains should be taken up from the crypt ,a lot of people have said that they will not put a foot inside the church door while there is a paedophile underneath and it is a mockery to others who are in the crypt, l was reading last night how Archbishop Mc Quaid at the time got booked by Edna Ó Brien banned.
Wasnt she only 24 and him 46 or something. Even that tells you a lot. And sadly, if people dont kniw it later transpired he sexually abused at least 3 young girls, including one (his niece) as young as 5. 😢
Once again women are held to a higher standard of moral behaviour. Eve the temptress. A bishop should be held to account far more than a woman recovering from abuse.
Annie Murphy well done to you. I am so sorry you had to endure such ridicule. I would love to think your story would be believed and met with respect to day.
Casey was a predator. He. Had no responsibility in life. An idiot. With. A goal. In mind. Annie. Wss very educated. And articulate. Gay. Was. Out to. HUMILIATE. HER. ON THST INTERVIEW NOTHING nowadays. These scandals. . Stilll going on . I hope. Annie. Finds. Great. Happiness. And.a long successful. Life.
Iv just watched this interview this poor woman was being attacked from elderly sad females that probably fantised about this mam in a frock. He's a man like any other taking advantage of a girl who had some mental health problems. Here we go again with frustrated Irish priest. I wished I'd been in the studio that day tight laced frustrated people who spoke on this. Hope she had a lovely life with her son.
Gay Byrne: "Well, you (Annie) were rather more experienced (in sexual relationships) than he was; insofar as he was totally inexperienced in such matters". The same old jaded assumptions and prejudices. But we now know the truth about the respective experience of the two, and that "in such matters" Annie was by far the most innocent at the time.
Talking a child from it's mother is a masculine centred notion inflicted on society....woman being the dependants ensured their complicity.. She was a vulnerable woman but her mother's strength shone through.
That finished me with Gay Byrne, he was friends with Casey and was not impartial on the night. He treated Annie so poorly and she had huge patience in the face of the negativity Gay showed.
You're right. That was one of the most biased interviews I've ever seen. If he really wanted Annie as a guest on the Late Late, but knew that he could not be impartial, due to his friendship with Casey, I really think that he should have had someone else conduct the interview in his stead for that leg of the show.
@@tonyflanagan4259 I never saw any film made. Yes she had the book. She was confronted with friends and relatives of Casey whilst she was alone. Where are they now about his newly alleged crimes, some with a child relative.
@@tonyflanagan4259did you see what he was up to in that program last week? I wonder what she thinks of him now molesting his niece and many more young girls.
What a Disgusting way to treat a guest on your show ! Shame Shame Shame on the late Gay Byrne for his Snide remarks and allowing those Scumbags in the audience to speak to her like that ! Not One Bit of Blame was put on Casey the Dirty Rat who gave his Innocent Son just 5 Mins of his time ! Like I say Truly Disgusting behaviour from them All. Annie you were just Beautiful, You stood your ground against All of them ! You certainly came out Best against there Blind Loyalty to The Bishop ! Wishing you and Peter All The Very Best of Good Luck in the future ! Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year to you both ! XXXXX
Annie Murphy was so dignified and articulate. I remember watching this live and was appalled at some of the comments directed at her. I will say though, Gay softened his stance towards her in later years.
This interview is mad. I know nobody knew it at the time, but Casey has since been found guilty of molesting at least three women when they were girls. This guy was a predator, and even though Annie had sensationalized her affair, she was in her twenties at the time; bishop Casey completely took advantage of an immature and vulnerable woman. It's him that deserves the rebuke, not her.
U need to have evidence before u accuse someone of these crimes, u could be charged with slander and find urself in prison so be v careful with ur language.!!
@@noraoconnor1895Well two of his victims received compensation and his niece was only 5 at the time she claimed he abused her. Most priests are child molesters, I don't think that's news to anyone. I'm certainly not worried about defaming some dead pedophile priest who should of spent his years in a jail cell.
@@noraoconnor1895 The Church compensated his niece, Patricia O'Donovan, who was only five years old when he r***d her. The compo in itself is an admission of guilt. Plus there were many reports regarding Casey and his conduct toward young children to authorities in the UK, going back years, that the Church hushed up.
I'm late to this story. How brave of Annie Murphy to tell this story. I can't believe that Gay Byrne has just referred to Eamon Casey as 'so innocent'.
Gay said "What woman doesn't pursue it?"...My question ...What man doesn't pursue it? She is excellent. I was a fan of Gay Byrne (RIP) to the end however this is one interview that I feel he would have done differently if he were to do it again . She was amazing in the circumstance.
What a difficult thing to watch. I remember this when it was aired and had little inkling of just what an inflection point it was on Ireland's trajectory into the future. Annie Murphy took the heat of the first angry pangs of denial for a nation that needed to admit what huge problems it had been cultivating for so long. Like Sinead O' Connor and some other early whistleblowers, at least she's lived long enough to see the country transform unrecognisably in attitudes in a single generation.
It’s funny the Bishop did not deny it. How lame of these people. He is going to develop a relationship and he is not his son????? I must buy the book. Good luck to Annie and Peter. These people were not in the bedroom.
she was a victim church bishop then gay burn rte how would gay Byrne like it if the shoe was on the other foot and his daughter has a child for the bishop poor lady she was victimized end of story
@@aidankelly840 it appears you have a beef with the church and you are trying to justify Annie Murphy's Reckless Behavior having an affair with the bishop. Then she has the gall to write a tell-all book about the affair. From the beginning I believe she knew exactly what she was doing and the possible outcome of the event but decided to go ahead anyway. Let's agree to disagree on that on this matter. Goodbye
How many of the those people in the late late show ,where Gay interviewed Annie are ALIVE today ,now that the Irish nation accept that Bishop Casey was a child sex abuser. How do those hostile people NOW sleep at night ,in peace. Their hostility was such an "" insulated ignorance"". Their own cousin was Casey's victim at 5 years of age. How many relative announce their blood connection to Cast today. !!!!
Having an affair with a woman like Annie Murphy was one thing but not illegal. What he is alleged to have done with children is criminal. I believe the children and his niece.
My God we now know what Casey turned out to be, ,I wonder will he removed from the crypt.As Gay said ,,,if his son turns out to be half the man his father was,,, isn't he lucky he didn't.
The women and man talking from the front row were planted to cause her the most pain. Did anybody read her book ?. I did and found it very well written. The part with the Cross was very telling. The book was written when Casey refused to acknowledge his son.
This interview was allowed to become a witch hunt💔...the woman in pink was utterly disrespectful of Annie...& that should have been handled by Gay imo...it shows Gays chauvinism & he should at all costs 'mind' his interviewees...that's his job.
I’m glad my parents had gone before the abuse scandals broke, stating with Casey. Lifelong catholics, they trusted the church implicitly and stayed true to their faith till death. It would have broken their hearts to learn of the crimes and cover ups . A tragedy for all who trusted and for all the many decent priests who have been tarnished by association. Never again will the church wield such power over people.
She’s a very truthful lady..Priests should be allowed to Marry and have a family..we live in modern and fast changing times but the Catholic Church is stuck in the past..time for change.
What a sad and pathetic bunch of people in the audience, bleating like sheep as they try to protect "Their Bishop". Eamonn Casey was a man who succumbed to his emotional feelings in the moment and expressed them in a normal sexual fashion. He had a cosmic connection to Annie Murphy and she to him, the result was their son Peter, who now lives his life on his own cosmic level having inherited good human qualities from both his mother and father. Hopefully Ireland has become more enlightened since this archaic interview!
Good God, both Gay and the audience gave Annie such a hard time - shows how men were still the poor victim and women to blame in the 70's and STILL in the 90's!!! Annie was both honest and gracious in my opinion - it just didn't suit the listeners. So glad that more had come to light in the meantime showing that things were not as innocent as they seemed back then. Disgraceful behaviour everyone. 😢
It takes two to tango, she wasn’t the one who took a vow of chastity. Why do they pretend/lie when we all know about the abuse that they inflict on people who put their trust in them. Sociopathic tendency’s, they use their their long black dresses as a form of control.
'Coquettish'...a word uttered from Gay in reference to Annie...how judgemental and inappropriate at 30:00...😢 she reared her son single handedly while his father disowned him & denied his responsibilities & Gay has the audacity to call him a great man & not compliment her for keeping & rearing her child in the face of Eamonn trying to undermine her & make her give the child for adoption by calling into question her ability to be a good mother...wow ..male arrogant chauvinism on Gay's part...Annie did herself proud under the circumstances imo💔
Just look at how women & their bodies have been used & controlled, oh & then blame them & take their children!!...well done Annie in being so strong in the face of male bullies in all arenas: church, media, society.... powerful enlightened women are given a particularly hard time in holding to account endemic abuse of females😪💔
The attitude of GByrne was directly related to his 2 daughters who were adopted out of the Convent this all happened. The NUNS sold the convent and Land for millions to Developers. Sunday Independent newspaper put a picture of the womens bones put into milkchurns to make way for the sale. The women were given dirty births so they would die and so leave the babies to be adopted by well to do families like the Byrnes. Her book relates the infection she had after the birth and the lady who took her in prior to the birth. She had become close to her and came to visit her after the birth. On the two visits she called an Ambulance as she was running a high temperature.
Annie Murphy displayed such dignity, intelligence and integrity in the face of ignorance and cruelty.

Annie you were just Beautiful, You stood your ground against All of them ! You certainly came out Best against there Blind Loyalty to The Bishop ! Wishing you and Peter All The Very Best of Good Luck in the future ! Merry Xmas and A Happy New Year to you both ! XXXXX
Annie hold your head high.👋💚🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This show was taken off the air I'm assuming. The worst thing I have ever seen on television. The hos t was an egomaniac.
Gay Byrne was a legend. Missed very much by us all. But his behaviour was directly related to his own 2 daughters adoption from the Convent.
@@mariecarton8611 What are you on about? Lots of people disliked byrne, a condescending and patronising ass.
@@mariecarton8611 How so? Would that not make him more sympathetic?
Not taking off air! Watching it at present ??
She's a very sincere person
Annie Murphy was so dignified and articulate. I remember watching this live and was appalled at some of the comments directed at her. I will say though, Gay softened his stance towards her in later years.
Gayton was out of order
This women changed Ireland for the better. Disappointed in Gay.
Absolutely horrendous how this lady was treated. She conducted herself with dignity
This interview is mad. I know nobody knew it at the time, but Casey has since been found guilty of molesting at least three women when they were girls. This guy was a predator, and even though Annie had sensationalized her affair, she was in her twenties at the time; bishop Casey completely took advantage of an immature and vulnerable woman. It's him that deserves the rebuke, not her.
U need to have evidence before u accuse someone of these crimes, u could be charged with slander and find urself in prison so be v careful with ur language.!!
@@noraoconnor1895Well two of his victims received compensation and his niece was only 5 at the time she claimed he abused her. Most priests are child molesters, I don't think that's news to anyone. I'm certainly not worried about defaming some dead pedophile priest who should of spent his years in a jail cell.
@@noraoconnor1895 The Church compensated his niece, Patricia O'Donovan, who was only five years old when he r***d her. The compo in itself is an admission of guilt. Plus there were many reports regarding Casey and his conduct toward young children to authorities in the UK, going back years, that the Church hushed up.
what a biased creature you seem to be..
We all know about this man now .
I'm late to this story. How brave of Annie Murphy to tell this story. I can't believe that Gay Byrne has just referred to Eamon Casey as 'so innocent'.
not Gay's best interview
.No Doubt about that.
Gay said "What woman doesn't pursue it?"...My question ...What man doesn't pursue it? She is excellent. I was a fan of Gay Byrne (RIP) to the end however this is one interview that I feel he would have done differently if he were to do it again . She was amazing in the circumstance.
Gay Byrne was such an awful rude man doing this interview I remember I totally went off him after it 😢
What a difficult thing to watch. I remember this when it was aired and had little inkling of just what an inflection point it was on Ireland's trajectory into the future. Annie Murphy took the heat of the first angry pangs of denial for a nation that needed to admit what huge problems it had been cultivating for so long. Like Sinead O' Connor and some other early whistleblowers, at least she's lived long enough to see the country transform unrecognisably in attitudes in a single generation.
What an amazing woman. Thank you for standing your ground with Byrne.
Gay is sickening the way he makes out that a Archbishop can't be a man and is oh so innocent...and feagile and newds to be projected!! Sigh 😕 😞 😌
Innocent my foot!!!
Byrne was so horrid In the way he set her up.
The women coming to Caseys defence, if they are alive today they are eating their words . Bunch of vultures!
It’s funny the Bishop did not deny it. How lame of these people. He is going to develop a relationship and he is not his son????? I must buy the book. Good luck to Annie and Peter. These people were not in the bedroom.
she was a victim church
bishop
then gay burn rte
how would gay Byrne like it
if the shoe was on the other foot
and his daughter has a child
for the bishop
poor lady she was victimized
end of story
She is not a victim she knew exactly what she was doing
@@maryfox7440 been abused by the so called church
she was only 1 of many
you seem to be jealous
@@aidankelly840 it appears you have a beef with the church and you are trying to justify Annie Murphy's Reckless Behavior having an affair with the bishop. Then she has the gall to write a tell-all book about the affair.
From the beginning I believe she knew exactly what she was doing and the possible outcome of the event but decided to go ahead anyway.
Let's agree to disagree on that on this matter.
Goodbye
You care more about a cheating bishop than a young boy. All he wanted was to know his dad.
That bishop was nervy.
ANNIE is very beautuful
Wonder where she is now??? And her son???? She was lovely looking… shame the way they were both treated
How many of the those people in the late late show ,where Gay interviewed Annie are ALIVE today ,now that the Irish nation accept that Bishop Casey was a child sex abuser. How do those hostile people NOW sleep at night ,in peace. Their hostility was such an "" insulated ignorance"". Their own cousin was Casey's victim at 5 years of age. How many relative announce their blood connection to Cast today. !!!!
Well said Annie
Her son seems to be doing well today.
Having an affair with a woman like Annie Murphy was one thing but not illegal. What he is alleged to have done with children is criminal. I believe the children and his niece.
My God we now know what Casey turned out to be, ,I wonder will he removed from the crypt.As Gay said ,,,if his son turns out to be half the man his father was,,, isn't he lucky he didn't.
he decries the explicitness and then asks explicit questions
After everything that came out not long after Annie gave her story, I wonder what Gay's thoughts were about this interview.
The women and man talking from the front row were planted to cause her the most pain. Did anybody read her book ?. I did and found it very well written. The part with the Cross was very telling. The book was written when Casey refused to acknowledge his son.
My Thoughts And Prayers 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿are with Bishops Casey’s Victims 😢😢🌍🌍🇮🇪
Why did Gay think Bishop Casey had no experience ??
documentary on tonight might answer that question.
How Bishop Casey Fooled him 👿
This interview was allowed to become a witch hunt💔...the woman in pink was utterly disrespectful of Annie...& that should have been handled by Gay imo...it shows Gays chauvinism & he should at all costs 'mind' his interviewees...that's his job.
God rest Gay but he gave her a terrible time.
Clearly many of the women who claim to know Bishop Casey well have never heard of House devil Street angel syndrome!! 😇
People are talking about Bishop Casey s if he's a child!! WAKE up FOLKS..he was a man that had ab affair with a VERY BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.
He also molested children. He was a predator
I’m glad my parents had gone before the abuse scandals broke, stating with Casey. Lifelong catholics, they trusted the church implicitly and stayed true to their faith till death. It would have broken their hearts to learn of the crimes and cover ups . A tragedy for all who trusted and for all the many decent priests who have been tarnished by association. Never again will the church wield such power over people.
👒 👒 👒 off!
To Annie
Well done for exposing 👏 👍
Respect for you
Your son should be very proud
I would find a man of the cloth a creepy partner.. not surprised he abused children ~a true psychopath ..vile man..
Thankfully that style of interview is no longer tolerated.. Gay Byrne was a disgrace showing his narrow kindness
Bishop Casey innocent!!! That lady is telling the truth
She is the innocent one.🇮🇪
All religions are ‘man made’ and the prime purpose was ‘follow the money.’
She’s a very truthful lady..Priests should be allowed to Marry and have a family..we live in modern and fast changing times but the Catholic Church is stuck in the past..time for change.
What a sad and pathetic bunch of people in the audience, bleating like sheep as they try to protect
"Their Bishop". Eamonn Casey was a man who succumbed to his emotional feelings in the moment and expressed them in a normal sexual fashion. He had a cosmic connection to Annie Murphy and she to him, the result was their son Peter, who now lives his life on his own cosmic level having inherited good human qualities from both his mother and father. Hopefully Ireland has become more enlightened since this archaic interview!
Annie has every right to voice her opinion these people just want to bring her down what a load of crap going to read this book now
What a disgrace the way she was treated. These two fell in love, that is human.
Good God, both Gay and the audience gave Annie such a hard time - shows how men were still the poor victim and women to blame in the 70's and STILL in the 90's!!! Annie was both honest and gracious in my opinion - it just didn't suit the listeners. So glad that more had come to light in the meantime showing that things were not as innocent as they seemed back then. Disgraceful behaviour everyone. 😢
These people are mean and I think they are full of it. How dare they.
It takes two to tango, she wasn’t the one who took a vow of chastity. Why do they pretend/lie when we all know about the abuse that they inflict on people who put their trust in them. Sociopathic tendency’s, they use their their long black dresses as a form of control.
'Coquettish'...a word uttered from Gay in reference to Annie...how judgemental and inappropriate at 30:00...😢 she reared her son single handedly while his father disowned him & denied his responsibilities & Gay has the audacity to call him a great man & not compliment her for keeping & rearing her child in the face of Eamonn trying to undermine her & make her give the child for adoption by calling into question her ability to be a good mother...wow ..male arrogant chauvinism on Gay's part...Annie did herself proud under the circumstances imo💔
I think it's more the "upper-class " section in Ireland look down on everyone, even today still .
Just look at how women & their bodies have been used & controlled, oh & then blame them & take their children!!...well done Annie in being so strong in the face of male bullies in all arenas: church, media, society.... powerful enlightened women are given a particularly hard time in holding to account endemic abuse of females😪💔
@@katieb2098Nothing upper class about that bunch. Craw thumping peasantry more like.
There is nothing in scripture which would prevent any bishop, priest etc from having a normal sexual relationship.
And his last comment ‘If you’re Son ……… Horrendous!!
Love to know their reactions to Eamonn Casey now in 2024..
A true lady.
Oh god those crowd in audience. Ill say nothing about Catholic Church. Annie treated badly. Fast forward now this would not happen
The attitude of GByrne was directly related to his 2 daughters who were adopted out of the Convent this all happened. The NUNS sold the convent and Land for millions to Developers. Sunday Independent newspaper put a picture of the womens bones put into milkchurns to make way for the sale.
The women were given dirty births so they would die and so leave the babies to be adopted by well to do families like the Byrnes. Her book relates the infection she had after the birth and the lady who took her in prior to the birth. She had become close to her and came to visit her after the birth. On the two visits she called an Ambulance as she was running a high temperature.
The blind will never see.. this presenter is incredibly agenda driven...the presenter should be ashamed
I mean the judgement and hyprocisy
