The way Shirley delivered that compliment to Jowita after Hamza's Argentine Tango was so obviously done in a fake nice, passive-aggressive way - making her step forward and pausing a long time before finishing to confuse and intimidate her. I had thought up until that moment that calling her a bully and a mean girl was a bit too harsh and judgemental, but it was so obvious there. I had a visceral reaction to it, I was on the verge of yelling 'leave her alone you nasty old witch' at the screen.
It's interesting that Gio keeps insisting that it's completely false which will only look even worse for him if they do find evidence of wrongdoing. I can believe the tabloids might be twisting some things but I still think the core of the complaint is true. Though it would benefit him if the tabloids have made some of it up, it'd make it easier for people to dismiss as all lies.
