Gossies

I felt cheap just watching the video. What an unorganised shambles of an event.

I don't know what happened with Grace and cow and gate or currys? But she clearly didn't help her rep last night. Her comment was really catty but also, shame on the crowd booing at Rosemary's name.
If Vogues comment was scripted then all the worse and shame on the Goss.ie organisers. Here was an opportunity for them to be really classy in commending Rosemary just like all the other nominees despite her stance on the awards. It seems like a poor man's effort at producing something like the Glamour awards in the UK but the sheer lack of class means it will never be anywhere near on a par.
The Gossies mean nothing anyway, besides who can mobilise their following base to vote for them the most.

I was pretty disappointed by Vogue's comments too, I actually previoisly quite liked her. And if it was scripted, it was VERY unclassy behaviour by Goss.ie I can appreciate Ali getting involved as she is the owner of the site and it's obviously her baby. I can even understand Marissa getting involved to an extent, perhaps she could relate to Ali as a fellow business woman and remembered how difficult it is to start up a business. (I didn't like her comments though). But the others? Where are the ones who were calling Rosemary out on "mean girl behaviour" now?

And the funny thing is...Rosemary's post wasn't even nasty or attacking anyone personally! Which makes the initial response from some of the social media/blogger crowd even more astounding

can someone post this "video". I am intrigued

If you go to Rosemary's facebook page you'll see that she has shared the video on there

Who is Rosemary!

I just found this thread as I hadn't a clue what a Gossie was and I see this big controversy!

Just saw Rosemary's snapchat, she seems quite upset by what Grace said, not her usual happy and witty self. I do hope she knows how much support she has, I've not seen one comment in support of Grace. Everyone is calling it out for what it is - catiness. I still can't get over Grace, just a few short months ago she was crying on her snapchat about bullying and now she is openly bitchy, just because she had an audience? Horrible behaviour and I agree with everyone else that Rosemary deserves an apology

frogstar · 29-01-2017 06:05PM

Anyone know who Ali is related to? A few times this week her family have been mentioned by Ian Dempsey and also at the awards.... Are they a well known family?

retro:electro · 29-01-2017 06:05PM

To give her the benefit of the doubt, she may have gotten carried away in the moment. Not that it's any excuse but she just needs to come out now and publically say sorry. Remaining silent and hoping it'll all go away isn't going to work with this one

Lollipop95 · 29-01-2017 06:16PM

Vogue doesn't think any wrong was done anyways!

"get a grip, bullying? Never heard such rubbish in my life! Can't take a joke so pull the bully card ðŸ™„"

I really have gone right off her, I thought more of her than that

heyjude88 · 29-01-2017 06:17PM

The gossies facebook page has taken a beating in the review section.

Theres an article on the daily mail about Vogue at the awards last night. Just mostly pictures of her at the UNISLIM goss awards. Must be awkward because there was basically no actual coverage of the event itself and Ali used to work the mail I think?

I saw that. Ali snapchatted saying she had gained a lot of new followers and put up a post saying that anyone who was only following her to give out would be blocked

wispa9 · 29-01-2017 06:31PM

I think Vogue is lucky that Grace is taking all the flack for this. She made 2 comments that were worse imo

Mekekka · 29-01-2017 06:32PM

RMC has just posted to FB asking that people not attack FBG over it all, that the whole show was primed to be negative Towards RMC and it wasn't Grace who caused it...she's saying it was an ill timed joke on Grace's part basically...

We already know she's an eejit, sure look at who she married! I think it's just because Grace won best influencer, obviously this means that ppl take notice of the things she does and says, and then she goes full on mean girl like that!

Mod note, user banned

Terri26 · 29-01-2017 06:40PM

So it was Rosemary who spoke publicly about it without any apologies publicly from the others. What a horrible set up. It's the lack of awareness and apologies that are making people so annoyed.

bigpink · 29-01-2017 06:42PM

Jesus all these girls bloggers blaggers attention whores are toxic

Mod noite - user banned

blairbear · 29-01-2017 06:42PM

In total admiration of Rosemary after her fb post asking people not to target Grace.

And still no apology from Grace or Vogue or Ali. Sigh. I guess that's what bitches do; be bitchy!!!

BettePorter · 29-01-2017 06:43PM

I do think that's true to a degree. BUT I really hope grace doesn't now throw down the victim card and start spouting about she didn't mean it and she spent the weekend crying about it and what people were saying about her. She has a habit of ignoring the elephant and making things about her!

I wouldn't go that far? thats below the belt. Bloggers and blaggers yes. Whores no.

Galwaygirl55 · 29-01-2017 06:49PM

Watched the Gossies video, leaving aside the nasty & bitchy comments, the whole thing looked like a messy shambles. I have seen Transition Year students produce better shows. Lighting & sound were dire.

"attention

whores"

as in sell their dignity for attention. They aren't actually implying something more promiscuous

People have gotten banned for less. Attention seeking maybe would have been better use on this thread. We don't want it closed down. Again.

This is going to go on and on.

Ali just tweeted " Another COMPLETE lie by the way - no where was anyone's named mentioned in a script, and no one was told to say anything"

and

"Another slanderous, completely incorrect thing to say. So sad to see. You can all see copies of every single script if you like

"

SpillingTheTea · 29-01-2017 07:51PM

Wasn't there someone on this thread that said that they were going to the Gossies because they were a smaller blog and that they were hoping it would be a good way to network? I wonder what her take on this whole situation is from actually being there and then seeing the aftermath

This was said by posters here on Boards not by RMC. She's implying it was said by Rosemary. Wow this could have ended with dignity. Ten minutes she a tweeted what a worthy winner Grace was without addressing the issue that people are annoyed over. This is what people are angry about more than the actual incident. A bit of cop on is needed.

Windorah · 29-01-2017 08:37PM

I just watched the video of the glossies and I am genuinely appalled!! I can only imagine how hurtful it must have been to watch a room full of grown women booing and mocking you.
I only loosely follow Rosemary Maccabe (and 2/3 other bloggers) but it's becoming increasingly clear that she is a journalist. The other "ladies" are bloggers.
Hopefully Rosemary can move on from this embarrassing **** storm and distance herself from "the plastics".

Toastytoes · 29-01-2017 08:49PM

Grace has tweeted that she apologised to RM, she seems to have gone to ground otherwise though.

I think it was in response to RMC saying the room was primed to make jokes about her. Rosemary has removed the bit where she said the jokes were scripted

In an earlier version of her post on Facebook, she did say the comments were in the script. She's now corrected it to say 'made by the presenter'

The whole thing would have been handled much better if people had just ignored RMC's post. Instead, most of the people involved in the gossies have come out of it looking so bad. RMC has handled it very well.
