ITV has always had a bullying problem.
The best example I can think of is Kim Woodburn after her stint in CBB.
We see her first on This Morning where both presenters have a go at her, followed by something that was pure criminal on Loose Women where they took a person on air with very visible psych issues and tormented her all in the interest of viewer ratings.
It of course backfired spectacularly and we see the last clip of Coleen sobbing on the This Morning couch claiming she "didn't know what she did wrong".

I have no personal love for Kim Woodburn, its just a real good example of a celeb being "in it for the money" in her own words, and something that ITV should have left alone but didn't.
THIS is the ITV system at work, they are the gutter tabloid of the TV world with no morals or care for anyone's mental well-being.
What makes me cringe lately is looking at all these "celebs" pontificating about each other on how "Brave" they are.
Actual headlines in Newspapers:
"Love Island fans praise BRAVE Iain Stirling..."
"Laura Whitmore puts on BRAVE face at BRIT Awards..."
"Harry Styles put on a BRAVE face as he performs..."
"BRAVE Phillip Schofield coming out as gay..."
Its extremely easy to be "BRAVE" when you have a one way communication with the nation be it on a screen or behind the microphone of a radio studio all while collecting a massive fat paycheque. These people are so far removed from reality they don't know the meaning of the word "Brave"
A 5 year old leukemia sufferer is BRAVE
A person going out working morning, noon and night just to pay every last cent on their mortgage so their family isnt out on the street is BRAVE
A young girl who deletes her instagram because she is tired of being body shamed by fake photo-shopped TV personalities and models, is BRAVE
The celebrity shills that are coming out of the woodwork now being hailed as brave and corporately backslapping one another are far from brave. They are the most shallow, hypocritical and cowardly people I have ever seen.
If they want to be BRAVE why not do something that may actually impact them or have a consequence, like speak out about the network that pays them, blow the whistle on things that are not right, or simply leave the spotlight if they can't handle the responses to their actions which they are paid millions to deal with.
