I really hate the double standards there are between Jacques and Tasha. And I do feel it’s a lot to do with the misogynistic attitudes of the producers.
People on social media keep taking the piss out of Tasha’s voice and the way she speaks. When she was learning to talk she couldn’t hear herself properly, that’s why she has a speech impediment. In my opinion, taking the piss out of this is like laughing at someone because they need to use a wheel chair. It’s literally beyond her control.
She has flittered between people and acted like she doesn’t know what she wants… but her actions have been no where near as bad as Jacques.
LI have activetly gone out of their way to create a positive exit for Jacques. They’ve left Paige to get so much flack that her family needed to turn off all comments and messages on her Instagram profile. This is at the same time that LI have actively been deleteing negative comments about Jacques and his awful attitudes towards women.
Having ADHD does not equal being an asshole, nor does it mean you have a mental health condition. You are more likely to have mental health problems if you have ADHD… but you’re also more likely to have them if you’re deaf! Being deaf is literally a communication disability. They are presenting this situation where we’re all meant to feel sorry for Jacques because he can’t communicate yet we’re meant to laugh at Tasha for exactly the same reason.
I think Tasha will come out of this and start talking about her experiences and gain a lot of sympathy and end up doing very well.
I do think that if the LI Producers “have a duty of care” for Jacques, they also have the same duty of care for Tasha.
I don’t like Tasha, I think she’s annoying and I think she’s leading Andrew on. I don’t think she should give a tit what the public think because it’s beyond her control how the producers have decided to portray her. However I do think the producers should have given more airtime to her condition because it clearly does effect her considerably.
