I haven't seen the Whitney stuff just yet as had to stop to feed people (pah!). From reading the last 5 or so pages of thread 9 and these first few I am however reminded of the Celebrity Big Brother UK stuff when Roxanne had everyone believing her that Ryan had literally gone in at her with his fists repeatedly other than a gentle playfight where he air boxed around her.
She was nice as pie to him but cowering sobbing to others about how he'd hurt her and how he hated her etc etc with him none the wiser.
