Poisonous Daily Mail

[MarkDallasAddict]

So I saw a story about Linda Gray on the Daily Mail website today which was a load of rubbish. She is photographed without makeup privately shopping in CostCo. It said that she has hardly been seen in years and lives a low key life - well that is nonsense as some of us know full well. The photos were made to look as unflattering as possible.

What a horrible world we live in where a lovely 81 years old lady who has done no harm to anyone (and brought many of us much joy) is harassed like this. Despite their best efforts she still looks amazing especially for 81!

Ugh please don't give this paper any headspace. I've complained to them more than once; you are right, they are poisonous.

Linda is beautiful and I think what they want to bear in mind is yes, she's 81 but she lost her only son last year too.

Makes me sick! And VERY angry!!!!!

Anything beautiful or precious or successful and they feel the need to destroy it.

I didn't read the article, and won't because it will probably land me in jail but I did write a complaint - not that it will make any difference to them but I won't sit back and say nothing. I don't know how they can justify even calling themselves journalists. Assholes.

Speaking personally, if I was to knowingly click on a Daily Mail link (much less read one of their papers or visit their site), that would make me just as rotten as they are. Same goes for any tabloid paper/site really. It's stupidly obvious to say, but if no-one read their crap, they wouldn't print/post it.

Sarah, I’m glad I’m not the only to make a complaint about this article! It’s about time we eradicated these poisonous stories once and for all - the press must stop harassing people all to report “news”

They won't get away with harrassing her while I'm around!

Brilliant!

Found this article about Linda. I guess it was a slow news day at the daily mail. Judging from the comments a lot of people are disgusted at DM and love Linda. So do I!! https://www-dailymail-co-uk.cdn.amp...ray-81-runs-errands-near-California-home.html

Why is that a bad article? She looks good and dressed like most normal people do at Costco?

Totally agree!!

Totally agree!!

I never said it was bad about her. It's bad for DM. Just leave her alone that's all. It's seems kind of stalkerish.

No offence meant to anyone, but surely providing a link to the article (as someone has above) only draws attention to it and makes it easier for people to click on it, thereby giving the Mail exactly what they want and encouraging them to run similar stories.

How is a non Brit supposed to know the Daily Mail is a tabloid? Especially since the link above doesn't seem to be negative (though I didn't read all of it). I don't think anyone expects Linda to wear high heals and full Sue Ellen make-up to go to Costco.

Also, there have been lots of Daily Mail links used on this site in the past I believe. It just seems like maybe some are off limits and others aren't.

I would love it if all such links were discouraged, but that's just my personal preference.

That's fine but I'll reiterate...if this link was meant to be negative, they failed badly. The one part that I read which seemed like a lie was that she hadn't been photographed in three years. Though by definition, possibly true...she's certainly appeared on video in the past three years though.

If Linda cared, she would have kept her mask on. Celebrities will definitely miss the anonymity that mask mandates allow them. In this case, Linda knew she looked good and removed the mask when she left the store. Trying to hide these photos in my opinion, does her a disservice....like we can't celebrate what women truly look like without make-up. She looks good...she should be celebrated is all I'm saying...not treated as though she shouldn't be seen like this

I didn't mean to offend anyone by posting the link . The article came up on my news feed, that's all. I don't know anything about DM, I was just summarizing what most of the people were saying about DM .

You weren't to know but James does make a very good point about raising awareness of these type of horrid rags.

I don't support tabloids for what they stand for (especially posting celeb children pics) but in this case, I don't think we should Quasimodo Linda's no make-up pics. She has nothing to be ashamed of.

Agreed. She's 81. She's beautiful. Good on her!! I'm half her age and I'm scundered going out with out my make up! But then she's prettier than me
