Time flies when you’re discovering the flaws and lies in a person.
Well, it does for me. Only little over a week ago I was defending Celebrity Big Brother housemate Danica Thrall and thought of Jasmine Lennard as evil. How times change. Bit by bit I realised that even though Jasmine Lennard said it harshly, she was right on some points. Danica certainly isn’t the innocent little girl she presents to be and it is slowly becoming clear that the little lady is very two faced.
A few points: some people don’t understand why the boys are THAT angry about her coming on to them while she has a boyfriend. Well, remember she was flirting cuddling and hugging with The Situation for TWO DAYS before she even told him she had a boyfriend. Still, the next day she was there rubbing herself against the Sitch and tweaking his nipples, a second later she was on the deckchair next to the Prince removing glitter from her mouth and putting it in his. This continues for a while and then she moves back and wonders why the boys are questioning her behaviour, to the point of crying without tears to other housemates about how bad the boys were. After all that she goes back to them and does it all again.
Then her flirting in general: You have to understand that she has the game far more sussed than the boys. She is using all the techniques she learned on Babestation or wherever and she is wise on how to work herself to get men to do what she wants. The BB Bit on the site body language expert often expressed her amazement on how good she was at flirting, interestingly all of her behaviour can be seen in this video, even including the way she positions herself on the bed when one of the guys is in the bedroom with her…
She hung around Julian Clary all the time, being chummy, cuddly and friendly, begging him to do her make up in a certain way, getting a certain wig to flirt with Prince Lorenzo, he obliged. After getting her way she stopped she moved away from Julian and nominated him because she found him “creepy”. Naturally she keeps socialising enough with him to keep him thinking she is sweet.
She tells the housemates all she asks online are “little gifts” in return for whatever she does online. You can access her list publicly, and despite a few fairer priced items she’s got a gym set on there which costs £2,000 an Apple MacBook Pro for £1,870.00 while also asking for an Apple Imac that’s £925, 3.10 Carat D/IF Round Brilliant Certified Diamond Solitaire Pendant in Platinum for £167,059, Buy Life Fitness New G7 Multi Gym £2,695, Miu Miu Glitter-finish leather sandals £460.00 and Jimmy Choos and … well, the list is 8 pages long, really. That’s a bit different from the “well, a bouquet of flowers and stuff” she mentioned in the house. All this for a little internet dirty talk?

In another fib she told her housemates that she didn’t do porn or anything sexual. Well, you ask me, what does she think this video is?
No, I’m not condemning a girl for flirting (even if she has a boyfriend at home), but I do when it is a calculated ploy to get screen time an with this purposely ruins the experience for the other housemates and the viewers. She knows that creating a love triangle means being the focus of the show. She used an intricate psychological web to slowly cause the rift between the Prince and the Situation that came to a head on the last eviction night. She did it in a way that made the boys think they had figured something out on her own, while all the while it was her that planted the seed.
All this makes me take umbrage over the fact that she pretends to be sweet innocent and naive about everything. The tears at the Situation joking about her not having a problem at crotch shots smack false having seen this:
It makes me wonder why she is choosing to lie to her housemates, when they can all find all of this out with one click on Google, it will only bring her trouble once they do, as they will feel she has lied to them every step of the way.
I wish Big Brother would put normal non porn star non glamour model or any other kind of model girls in the house for a change as they are usually the ones that
create the “love dramas” BB think viewers like to watch. I personally despise them, and have noticed that other viewers hate them too. Even Jamie East said he’s hope that Danica was voted out so the other housemates could get their chance to shine. It would be a relief if next year there were non of these love dramas and we could see a house that was like a bunch of new friends having an experience like it was in the past. Over the last few days all we saw was Danica, the Prince and the Situation in their triangle and them talking about the triangle then moving to another housemate to talk about it again. It is only during Bit on the Side nominations and once housemates are voted out we get to see and hear what the others get up to. Cheryl for example revealed a lot of jokes and shenanigans she got up to during her time in the house, I never saw them.
In the past you really got into the group as a whole, heard the catchphrases that they came up to, saw their friendships.
Danica really proves how times have changed …

Don’t like her…don’t trust her. Agree with the writer here
I feel sorry for danica. she is a beautifull women who for some reasone does not love herself enough to respect herself. Instead of looking at what she does, think of the reasons behind her actions. What gaps does she have that she has to stoop so low to fill? I believe she has a great heart but just needs some love. She most probably was hurt in the past by men and doesnt trust them or believe shes worthy to be loved. However, everyone commits errors, and I believe she will come to her senses soon, all she needs is a bit of Love.
What an wretched example of desperate British womanhood. The thing that annoys everyone the most in my opinion is that she tries to conceal her transactions for money/gifts, and acts like a complete innocent – maybe she is in denial to herself. I consider her to be far lower than a prostitute – at least they are honest and provide a service.
i so agree with ur comments .why does bb put those girls in there and PAY them .money not deserved at all they r laughing all the way to the bank
Agreed. Hope she goes soon, I’m so sick of her silly little games with the boys. BORING little tart!
I totally agree with the writer above and the comments. She is poison. What on earth is wrong with the younger women in the house this year. Producers take heed,Next year no models or wannabe’s please.
oh get over yourselves its a game and shes playing it brilliantly.stop moralising are you all whiter than white
actually the 167k necklace is on her purchased list, along with 3 rolex’s and multiple prada handbags & jimmy choo shoes, what the fuck is she doing to get these!! she knows what shes doing, in no way is naive
^^ says the guy who bought her the diamond pendant last week
Wow this Danica needs to be punished. She’s so immoral. How dare she not fess up on national tv about every aspect of how she earns a living. Isnt it a requirement of the show? Googling her is simply not good enough. She should have run into that diary room showing the world her ex rated portfolio. And that poor widdle Jersey Shore stud and millionaire, he’s only 30 years of age. How does he earn his living? Hypocrisy? Would we be baying for the blood of some guy flirting with the girls…would we hell. As for the Prince, he saw what was going on but this 40 year old just couldnt resist the powers of Dannica Thrall…..lol Its a reality show fgs for wannabes and hasbeens. That’s why Jasimine Lennard was in it and why she spends every waking moment tweeting about Dannica, calling her a whore, while asking people to bombard Ch 5 and get her a reality show…..but that sort of behaviour is ok, particularly when you thrown in your father’s terminal illness.
Much as too I’ve have come to dislike Danica, I won’t be saying Jasmine was right. That woman is a genuinely horrible person, I refuse to give her credit for the way she behaved.
First of all I would like to say that I don’t agree with much of what Danica has done in the house especially tonight when she put her head in the Princes Crotch however Danicas behaviour is not isolated to just her. Looking at this article – First link wow what an explicit video. Come on what year is this? The video is no worse than any Sports illustrated or Victorias secret photoshoot. She’s a glamour model what would you have her so wear a Burka? Yes the second video is far more explicit but anyone who actually believes this is a real sexual encounter has the mental age of Ashley and The Situation. It’s an act that as far as I can see involves no sex only the implies the act. Now you might not like this personally I find it all very pointless but hey ho who am I to judge what anyone does for a living? Different if she was doing something harmful or illegal but this not the case and neither does she deserve to be labeled a Whxxe. As for her wishlist we can only take her word that this happened by accident as she explained with people sending gifts after receiving a signed photo. However no matter what the truth may be people from all walks of life be it business or personal have “Wish lists” If some sad sap wants to buy her a gift or anyone else for that matter again who are we to judge? The saddest thing of all is if this was a guy instead of an attractive girl there would be nowhere near the same outrage.
You can hardly credit Jasmine Lennard with anything but being a desperate attention seeker with an inflated sense of entitlement. IIRC she started whining about being in the house with “escorts and skanky girls” AFTER she was up for eviction. Her vicious attacks on Danica AND Rhian had zero to do with flirting.
Folks – it’s a game show, and as this article even mentions, we are totally in the hands of the editors and the stories *they* want to tell, rather than getting a true picture of the housemates. I was a little disturbed when poor misunderstood Danica was getting painted whiter than white, and dislike this paint-her-black characterization too. Everyone in the show knows they are playing a game now, you can’t claim the innocence of these shows from a decade ago. Of course, they are not all playing by the same set of rules, BB finds a mix of personalities it hopes will cause situations to arise – it makes the editors’ jobs telling tales easier.
Danica and Jasmine are who they are, and so is The Sitch who is hardly a new boy to how reality shows provide entertainment.
It is good to hear there is life in the rest of the house, and that they may actually be having a good time. I wonder how many will recognize the show they see when they come out?
This is a girl who says of herself that she has no character and no talent – and shes certainly not a celebrity – so why was she chosen for the show? I think Jasmine is ghastly but she was right … Danica is skanky.
What a load of bunk!
You’re basically saying that because the girl engaged in a couple of televised make out sessions with another girl (more than two years ago), there’s no way she can be as sweet and kind as she comes across.
I’m sorry, but that’s being really shallow and judgmental.
As for the rest of the article, it displays a casual attitude with facts to say the least.
1. Never did she use the word ‘creepy’ to describe Julian.
2. It was made clear early that she had told the other HMs that she had appeared on ‘the babeshows’ in the past. In what detail, we don’t know.
3. It was also made clear one of the first days that she had told the Sitch she had a BF who she lived with.
4. Some guys get off on flexing their financial muscles, so while she says it will mostly be little gifts, it can go on to what she referred to in a conversation with Julie as ‘silly gifts, worth a lot of money.’ To which Julie replied: Bring it on. What’s immoral about that? Fuck all, Nothing! I get them from all over the world.
5. As you well know she didn’t cry about the crotch comment, she challenged Mike and said she didn’t appreciate that type of smarmy comments, which led to the falling out.
6. You can’t blame Danica for accepting an invitation to be on the show or for getting the airtime. She was invited and the producers have certainly not made her time in the house easy on her. If you don’t think she belongs on the show, that’s fine, I can even understand your point of view, but it’s really not fair to take it out on the girl. She doesn’t produce or edit the show.
7. As far as role models go, Danica certainly isn’t the worst one in there. And a lot have dodgier claims to fame than that they answer ‘yes’ when someone asks if they can by them something. Yesterday, the sitch bragged about getting 30 girls backstage for some personal time while setting fire to an expensive couch. Jasmine and Harvey are known for having affairs, Julie and Rhian have their scandals.. and so on.
Final note: Get over yourself. Just because you don’t like the girl, or because she may have walked down the ‘wrong path’ a bit in her early twenties, it doesn’t mean that she deserves the massive flow on-line abuse she is now being exposed to, and THAT YOU ARE FEEDING WITH THIS “ARTICLE”.
…great comment and totally agree with every word…interestingly Jasmine tweeted a link to this blog…how sad is that…consumed and eaten up inside with jealousy much!!!
This girl’s a horrible little tart. She even played Jasmine with her mother dying story.. she knew that she was listening in. revolting human being that she is. She is totally right about herself, NO character OR talent. She’s just a dirty little tramp, scheming and manipulating. Unfortunately beauty is only skin deep and this proves it. Get her out asap, why should we pay to promote her disgusting lifestyle on TV. Let the creepy perverts who masturbate over her image and get her “gifts” pay to promote her disgusting ways.
JUST GET DANICKA OUT, then ,all this should stop!!!!!!!.
I’m not particularly interested in what Danica does outside the house. It’s a game show however where it has all fallen apart is that she said that she has a boyfriend. She’s very flirtatious and might have overstepped the boundary as a girl who is supposed to be unavailable. Prince & The Sitch well let’s say the Sitch fancies her and his chances with her. What she should’ve done once she realised this and didnt want to take this flirting & touching anywhere is stop and made it clear not just in words but in actions. As for the Sitch he’s just one of those guys who will go at the flicker of an amber light. He doesn’t care if she has a boyfriend. Storyline has taken too much of airtime in my opinion.
What difference does it make to anyone what this girl does for a living?
Frankly the situation ought to grow up and act like the thirty year old man he is meant to be instead of an overgrown schoolboy.
The people who have put these vids all over the internet, are nothing short of trash.
I’ll tell you who cares.
The wives and girlfriends/husbands and boyfriends of whom Danica is openly encouraging to buy her gifts. Whilst I realise it takes two to tango, she should be discouraging married or attached men and women from buying gifts/her time. Single people only need apply. If Danica knows they’re spoken for, she shouldn’t encourage the attention. How would she like it if her boyfriend was buying another pretty lady gifts?
Exactly.
I like(d) here, seems like a well spoken, educated and pleasant person
Peoples’ sexual prudery and misogyny continues to amaze me, the men on BB were unable to deal with her sexuality and flirting, grown men ffs and the other girls were plain jealous, so what if she makes a living from what men want, the only difference between that and selling burgers or houses is people’s attitudes to sex and sexuality, laughable imho
as ever on this program , the characters all go and the dullest, plainest and most conformist one wins
and despite everyone pretending she has a proper boyfriend she said quite plainly that it was a casual thing, the one that called her a whore was hilarious, she’s never posed in lingerie has she …
