Kerry Lucas

[BenchedEagle]

*I know this is a very touchy subject and i dont mean to offend anyone with what i think*

I was very disturbed as a father to a lil 2 YO girl that Kerry Lucas would, only 3 months after her son drowned in the Torrens in tragic circumstances, would be out there modelling Lingerie at Port Adelaide and hamming it up with someone like Sam Newman!!!
Like ffs u lost ur son tragically by turning ur back on him while on the phone, how could u be out there 3 months later posing in lingerie and makin ridiculous quotes like "Leo(the child) would like me to move on"
I know u have to move on eventually but 3 months!! if that happened to my daughter i would never get over it and certainly wouldnt be out there 3 months later posing pretending life is all good. Too soon Kerry too soon.
I thought her and Wes goin public and setting up a charity which i dont really know why they did was a bit iffy, but this just made me so angry.

What does anyone else think?

Mate after having a child who had cancer at 11 months and getting told he wouldnt live i agree with you
And that is a first!

[BenchedEagle]

Didnt know that mate, fck it would be tough. i wouldnt be able to handle it if anything happened to my lil Brooke. Even worse if id known it was gonna happen. WOuld never recover i dont think. Thats why this particular case has made me so angry.

To the really self-centred grief is a display put on for others and easily parted with a little later when another opportunity to be in the focus arises.
I comment from general principle only, as I had never heard of this specific case before. It might be called the "Princess Di Syndrome".

Life must go on, you cant dwell on the past obviously she has had professional help to get over this.


You can't live wrapped up in a blanket for the rest of your life

Fully understand and agree about self-centred grief Psyber, but not sure what you mean by the "Princess Di Syndrom"

Modelling is work as far as i know -for all you know she was getting paid a truckload and putting the money into kick starting her charity- Get off her back, im the most judgmental bloke out there- but to judge someones grieving is pretty shit form IMHO

People grieve in different ways. If you are looking at it from the outside, you should not judge the actions of others, especially when you can only guess as to whay your reaction would be (carey18 excluded).

Professional help may have suggested to her this is her best course to deal with it...who knows? One thing is for sure is that we all don't know.

Duncs how can you say setting up a charity in your sons name is iffy? That is poor form.

What is the charity in aid of? I fully support the Hudson Maher charity and others. But Leo died from his mothers inattention. Not cancer, leukemia. Yhings that CANT be prevented.

I don't know what the charity is in aid of but like I said, people grieve in different ways and if doing this helps them, then that should not be ridiculed.

Touchy and a very unfair subject,,, the lady will never forget the tragedy that happened to her, how she handles it is her business and none of us should make judgement. I hope nothing like this happens to any of us

[am Bays]

I think we need to be carefull what we are saying here, everyone grieves in different ways.

It is a bit rich to judge a parent on how they respond to a loss of their child as who knows what has gone through their mind since that day and what steps and advice they have taken to overcome the loss.

Whilst we may not agree or understand thought process behind what is happening I don't think it is our place to comment just because someone has a public profile on such a sensitive matter as this.

Put it this way if I was a member of the Lucas family and I saw this thread, I would thinking WTF and a terse email would be going to site admin saying pull this becasue at best it offensive to us at worse inferences have been made about someones character and our lawyers are reviewing it...

If ponying around in sexy lingerie and posing with Sammy Newman is her way of getting over the greif, well good luck to her. But i thinks its disgraceful!

Get over yourself ffs and leave it alone. You are speaking on a topic you have no idea on.

I don't think judging others is ever a good thing, naturally it happens at times though ... Despite what we might think in the comfort of our own world without experiencing what others are going through (and even then as individuals we all respond differently) I don't think any of us have a right to condemn others for how they (rightly or wrongly) live their lives.

I agree with u CP but this circumstances of the tragedy led me to be disgusted at the way she is goin about recovering. Yes, there will come a point when u will have to move on with your life. But i find it in very poor taste and form that her way of moving on is modelling sexy lingerie and other things. My main point in my opening rant on this was that it was "too soon" If she came out in a year and did what she did, i wouldnt give it a 2nd thought, but 3 months later???

Im not condeming Mrs Lucas at all, i just feel it is way to early to be trying to get her face and body back into the social pages. Have some respect for the poor lil kid. Thats how i feel, i dont expect people to agree with me but thats how i feel.
