can’t get over this, ridiculous

She’s from a generation where we all know what those words mean. She can try blame being young all she wants.

she was old enough to know what shes doing no matter how long ago it was should be made to set an example that racism and homophobia will not be tolerated no matter how old the tweet is

Byeeeeee

Knee-jerk reaction from the zealots of the Political Correct Brigade that shall soon be policing when we shit, fart, and sleep. The more Leode sind forced to abide, the more hatred and frustration grows! emmerdale taking pages put of 1984 !

Fired for making a mistake 6 years ago.... PC gone made

Which N word? And who the hell cares?

Good! Doesn’t matter how old you were shouldn’t have said it end of!!

She should have been sacked on the spot weeks ago for her terrible “acting”

Since I have been on social media, I can safely say that I have been Racist, Homophobic, Antisemitic, anti Islamic, anti Christian, Xenophobic anti Human rights, anti Animals, Racist, Sexist and etal if they were to be held against me, I would be in deep shit.

Heavy handedness on part of show bosses i say..and i do feel its discrimination on her part

She should hit out at emmerdale ! Didn't deserve the sack for past comments especially in the context used. Emmerdale producers made something out of nothing.

Actress? She needs maybe to get a proper job she can't act
