'It did feel like bullying to me. we've lost why we're here now. now it does look like we're bullies. 'Yes, it was over the top. Adam was angry and aggressive, they couldn't show the whole thing.
'I'm a sensitive person, shouting and swearing in a negative way, lots of people pepper their language, I can handle that, I don't do that. 'When you're angry, using the bad swear words, to me, that feels like there is going to be a fight. ' She added: 'It all happened afterwards. I'm an ambassador for anti bullying, I've grown up with people not wanting me to be there.
I know what it's like.
'I don't tolerate it. I'm brave standing up for other people.
'With somebody else, my courage comes in, because it was the teasing behind my back, acting sad, getting in trouble, I didn't feel like I needed to protect. 'I definitely would have, there was no bullying there was boisterous testosterone. It wasn't bullying.
