Wow, it wouldn’t surprise me if on hearing someone has interaction with was suicidal that her first thought was to ensure she came out of the situation well. When her first husband killed himself, which from the reports it was inferred, in his mind, was due to her dumping him or the way she treated him….she became frustrated that his family would not discuss it with her. To me that infers that they held her responsible, and that she wanted to declare to them she wasn’t, then be able to publicly tell others that she has been a big support to the family etc. It was obviously his choice to take his life and only himself can be held accountable for his own actions, but when the trigger of the mental health problems came from a difficult marriage, of course the family would feel she is responsible and Nadia was as usual, totally self-centered, to believe that they would want to involve her in their grief.
I can see it from another angle though. Mental health can also be used to manipulate others. I have a friend whose husband does nothing to help at home and minimal help with their child, and has run up debts behind her back, lying about it for years. Any time an argument about the things he has done gets serious and he wants that to end, he just threatens to kill himself or to cut himself etc, and then she is forced to back off…then within an hour he is sat on the sofa watching tv and still doing nothing useful. She is basically stuck in the situation out of guilt. I have said to her that she should not just allow him never to change his behaviour due to those threats, I think she should tell him that is a serious thing to say and ask him to confirm that he actually means it, and tell him that if he is really saying he is a danger to himself and not in his right mind that she is calling an ambulance and that he may end up sectioned….because I genuinely think he would suddenly recover if he thought anyone outside their home would have to see his behaviour. The point is, she tried to tackle his bad behaviour…and then she is the one who ends up apologising every time, then the root of the problems never gets addressed, because within an hour of the argument he is sat on the sofa watching tv while she makes him a cup of tea and ordering tat for himself off eBay…because he needs treats and relaxation to recover from her being so mean as to shout at him, even though it is his spending and his inability to wash and help around the house that is the root of the problems.
So I can see that if someone is continually using their mental health to manipulate, then the comments made to Melanie, if by Nadia or someone else, will look awful taken out of context, but unless the whole situation is known, where the fault lies isn’t clear. It could be for example that Melanie was not doing her job properly as an agent, possibly due to stress in other areas of her life, and clients were saying that if performance doesn’t improve they will go elsewhere for representation…which is their right to do as having bad management affects their own income…and if Melanie kept bringing her personal life up as an excuse to clients, and would threaten self harm or suicide if clients said they wanted to go elsewhere (as is their right as a customer), then it’s possible the client will just want to distance themselves from it all, if she is not a personal friend and just a business that they are a client of, and that they have no responsibility to look after the welfare of.
What I actually think is likely, regardless of whether Nadia is the one who made those comments, is that Nadia and Melanie had an inappropriate unprofessional relationship and we’re arguing, (or just Nadia argued and Melanie took it) as per she would argue with her sisters, or tried to be best friends and it got merged with a tricky business relationship…so the whole thing became very unprofessional. I think the Loose Women format has made Nadia not have clear lines between business colleagues and genuine friendship, I don’t think she genuinely knows who likes her and who doesn’t. Lisa genuinely likes her…but does anyone else who she works with? She might go out to dinner with them occasionally, but what they see as inviting her to be inclusive she may see as friendship. Mark has no friends, and really I think Nadia only has Lisa, everyone else, including Lee, is just there to use her for their careers and to ditch her as soon as she becomes more nuisance than use.
raw material.
Nadia would definitely say something this nasty and thoughtless
