Topic | Jeremy Kyle (UK's Jerry Springer) may be cancelled after guest commits suicide |
UnfairRepresent 05/14/19 8:01:28 PM #1: | Jeremy Kyle kept his head down on Tuesday as he was seen for the first time since his show was suspended following a guests death. Grandfather Steven Dymond, 62, was said to have died by suicide days after being humiliated on The Jeremy Kyle Show, after it was alleged he failed a lie detector test and the audience turned on him. ITV pulled the episode before it was aired and suspended the show indefinitely. While all episodes currently on the hub were also taken offline, the show was forced to defend its level of aftercare. It comes after Stevens landlady Shelley told The Daily Mail the digger driver returned home following his spot on the show sobbing. She said: Four days later he was dead. I really believe it was the show that tipped him over the edge. He was sobbing, he said, its all gone wrong, and said he had failed the lie detector. He was distraught and devastated. He was traumatised. Steve said it got quite nasty on the show, she said. He told me that he had wanted to kill himself [] He was just a mess and he was just humiliated. While Jeremy is yet to publicly comment on the situation, show bosses today released a statement in which they detailed the aftercare procedures undertaken on guests who appear on the controversial programme. ITV explained that all guests are seen by a member of the guest welfare team after filming to ensure they are feeling calm and emotionally settled before leaving taping to travel home. Ongoing service from the show is also discussed with the guest, and if requested then appropriate solutions are found such as counselling, anger management or family mediation. However, also today a former staffer of the programme claimed the aftercare was all for show, telling Metro.co.uk she saw participants egged on by researchers to react in certain ways, and abandoned backstage after the show Full Article: https://metro.co.uk/2019/05/14/jeremy-kyle-seen-first-time-since-show-axed-following-guest-death-itv-defends-aftercare-9540599/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48265740 ![]() Another guest attempted suicide: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/may/14/jeremy-kyle-show-ruined-life-guest-speaks-out Also claims their "aftercare" was two disingenuous phone calls. I always found these shows weird. Why is it any of our businsess who is the father or who owes who money or who cheated on who? How is riling stupid people up on stage and pointing a camera at them anything but harmful? It's not any of our business and we're not going to get anything close to a full story by 8 minutes of fat people yelling at each other. Imagine if you went on youtube now and found clips of your parents and some fat guy yelling about who fucked who and who is your dad? And then everyone cries and someone cheers that they're not your father and your father is some guy your mom fucked on the side. It's just so...weird. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
