Thanks for this! Definitely helps to hear the tone and context of a conversation. From some of the comments in here I had a completely different impression of what he had said!

Same! I rather enjoyed watching that, and glad I didn't jump to conclusions. Although I'm feeling foolish for thinking there may be truth that Tim is trying to be Kyle. Tim is Tim and I'm glad I read sparrows post because it did help put my perspective back in place. Sometimes you can lose focus with all the opinions on here.
 
Yeah, me too. I didn't see this first interview (only heard what was said on here) and it certainly doesn't sound as bad when it's in tone and context. I still think he could ease up a bit (for instance the tone in the "I HATE BOOG" didn't justify that one IMO), but in this instance it wasn't quite as bad as it was made to sound with just the quotes.
Yeah I think it's a bit of a catch 22 with him. If he were to do the whole whitewashed, perfectly PC responses that a PR rep would tell him to say then he'd have zero chance of offending anyone or even being misinterpreted but on the flipside, his fans would hate that because everyone would know he wasn't saying what he thought. One of the reasons I like him is because he's unfiltered and continues to be so with people on Twitter and in the media instead of trying to change in order to make his 15 minutes last longer whereas 99% of the others in media (not just BB people) are so afraid of giving an honest answer in fear of ruining their image we get the same stock standard responses to things over and over. Case in point: Ed. I had sensed something was off by what people were saying in this thread and the JA one about Tim's comments today because while we all know there's no love lost between him and Ed, we also know it's the complete opposite with Jade. But as I hadn't seen the show myself I didn't bother questioning if they had even seen it either as I didn't feel like getting tagged with the Tim Groupie thing again. I'm just happy that [MENTION=31936]1member1[/MENTION] kindly shared it so I could make a judgement for myself because as far as I'm concerned there was zero wrong with what Tim said. In fact it was actually quite mild.

TBH I thought the interviewer was the nastier of the two. Tim's comments were OK (unnecessary anecdote but not as bad as I had expected) but the interviewer's description of Jade was nasty and not needed - she could have just asked about Jade and Ed (or even about Tim and Jade ), if that is what she was wanting to get at

I don't think Leila was being nasty at all! She was saying what A LOT of people were saying at the time IMO

I didn't think there was anything wrong with what Layla/Leila(?) said tbh. She said JadEd was her favourite storyline (whatever floats ya boat I guess lol), and all she really said was that she wanted Jade to play it cool which I wanted too for a long time (before I realised that it was better for her to just be herself and see where it landed her).

Yeah, I think some of us were just put off a bit by the comments (out of context) because say what you want about Jade, but I don't think she ever did anything to Tim to warrant those kind of stabs. That's what got me offside, not thinking it was deserved. I don't care what he says about Ed, Ed was talking smack about Tim in the house so Ed probably deserves a lot of it. But yes, in context the cracks weren't quite as bad as they seemed when I read them verbatim on here.

It's funny how just reading words can give a totally different impression to how they were intended. I'll be remembering that when I read their tweets from now on.

Going to have to disagree with you on this. Her expressions as well were not good - and why clarify with Tim, who everyone knows doesn't like Jade and Ed together, that they are still seeing each other. It just gives him further scope to diss Jade, which led to his comment of being glad he is no longer in their lives. A little awkward as Tim and Jade will be spending the afternoon and evening together.

The cringing she did while describing Jade was nasty - especially as she was discussing Jade with someone who doesn't approve of Ed. She wouldbe quite within her rights to direct that at either Jade or Ed, but it was unneccessary to Tim. She could just ask a direct question

She's was interviewing - of course she's going to ask the question
I'm sure if Ed or Jade were there she would've asked them - but they weren't - I don't see the issue with her asking Tim
and because he was asked well good on him for giving his honest answer
the problem i have with Tim is when he goes out of his way to bag Ed
Tim probably isn't in their lives anymore because Jaded probably told him to stay out of their business haha which is probably a wise move
 
Perception is a funny thing.

I am and have been since the show started an absolute ANTI TIM member. I can't stand him.

Watched the clip from The Today Show and I did not have a real problem with it, he has said way way worse than that in the recent past. I say no problem, and that is from someone who wishes Tim would disappear forever.

As to Leila, I am a huge Jade fan and saw nothing wrong with what she said.

Go figure huh. Individual perception is a funny thing.

PS For Gods sake if we are forced to see that brat Tim on our TV, can he get some new clothes, that whole 80's rockstar look gives me the shits.

Of course she can ask the question - my problem is her lead into the question and then her follow up. If he is out of their lives, he is the last person that would know whether they are seeing each other. It was opening up for a negative response - his thoughts are well known, so not needed. I'd wondered why there had been so much feedback on social media about this interview and the interviewer, because from what I'd read about Tim's responses it was just the same old stuff. It wasn't Tim's replies - which were predictable - it was the way it was asked
