‘Brazen hussy with the big t*ts out' – Joanna Lumley slams Molly Malone statue
British actress Joanna Lumley criticises Molly Malone statue and demands to get it 'changed' British actor Joanna Lumley has criticised the appearance of the iconic Molly Malone statue in Dublin due to what she sees as a misrepresentation of the famous character in Irish folklore. Ms Lumley is most known for her portrayal of the renegade Patsy Stone in BBC sitcom Absolutely Fabulous between 1992 and 2012. She made the claims while promoting season 2 of hit Netflix series Wednesday, which was filmed entirely in Ireland and stars American actor Jenna Ortega as the protagonist. The statue, located beside St Andrew's Church on Dublin's Suffolk Street, was erected 37 years ago and is an ode to a fabled young local woman named Molly Malone who wandered the city with her wheelbarrow selling cockles. The Molly Malone statue on Suffolk Street in Dublin. Pic: David Conachy She was made famous by the ballad Sweet Molly Malone, written in the late nineteenth century. However, Ms Lumley was not quite drawn in by the charming folklore tale surrounding the young Dublin woman affectionately known by locals as 'The Dolly with the Trolley' and 'The Flirt win the Skirt'. "Do you know why it is all wrong? If you listen to the song, she was a little beautiful, but thin, undernourished ill Irish girl who was a fishmonger's daughter and she pushed her little wheelbarrow and she got really ill and she died of a fever,' she told TodayFM. Joanna Lumley and the Molly Malone statue News in 90 Seconds - August 14th "What is this brazen hussy doing with her dress all down to here and the big tits out? The statue is wrong. "Get the statue changed!' The statue has been at the centre of frequent criticism in recent years as tourists are seen regularly seen posing for photos while groping her breasts. Stewards were put in place by Dublin City Council (DCC) for a one-week pilot scheme in May to stop people from performing the lewd act. Some DCC councillors had suggested building flower beds around the statue as an alternative method of preventing people from touching her.

Love Island's Dejon breaks silence on ‘Surviving Dejon' book written by step-sister who branded him a ‘narcissist'
LOVE Island alum, Dejon Noel-Williams, says he plans to challenge a tell all book slate for release and penned by his sister who had labelled him a "narcissist." During his time in the villa on the ITV2 reality dating show, Dejon came under fire for his controversial behaviour and now his step-sister has added to the chorus of criticism. 4 Love Island's Dejon has spoken out about a book written by his step-sister Credit: Instagram/@capitalxtra 4 Dejon said the book is full of 'untruths' Credit: Instagram/@capitalxtra 4 Dejon's step-sister Niah called him 'manipulative' Credit: ITV His step-sister Niah, who is not biologically related to Dejon but shares a brother with him, has released a book named 'Surviving Dejon,' where she accused him "gaslighting" and "abusive." But Dejon has now broken his silence the ordeal and said Niah's book was full of "untruths" and he planned to take action. The footballer was dumped on day 56 of this year's Love Island, alongside his girlfriend, Meg Moore, whom he said knows him well despite what Niah had to say about him. "There's a lot of untruths and unfair stories that I am challenging at the moment, the most important thing is Meg knows who I am, my family know who I am," Dejon said during an interview on Capital X radio. Dejo then even gave a "shoutout" to previously dumped Islanders Andrada and Billykiss, who were quick to support him once he and Meg left the villa. "They told me, 'Dejon there's a lot of things being said about you, we know that's not you, we know that's not how you are as a person'," he revealed. "So shoutout to them they didn't need to do that." Prior to releasing her book, Niah had posted a series of scathing videos to TikTok where she tore shreds off Dejon's character. In the six minute video, Niah claims that what viewers have seen on TV is an accurate reflection of how Dejon behaves in real life, she began: " So I've decided to speak out because I've been silent for way too long and I know that I will be receiving probably alot of backlash from my family for this. "You guys are all clearly very traumatised from seeing Dejon on TV and seeing everything that he's doing and watching everything play out it seems as though no one is holding him accountable. Love Island's Dejon responds to step-sister's claims that he's a 'narcissist' and 'manipulative' as he insists it's 'false' She went on to say: 'Dejon is a narcissist, he's manipulative. I've been telling everyone this for the past 10 years now but no one believed me. And it's just crazy now that the whole of the UK can see what I've been trying to explain to people for so long." Niah also revealed in a later video that four family members had messaged her asking her to take her video down. "So, yeah, that clearly isn't a coincidence," Niah said speaking on the family messages: "At first, I did consider taking it down, but then I realised why would I take something down when I strongly believe in everything that I said." Dejon then took to his own social media to denounce Niah's video and deny her claims. "I feel like there's a lot of false stories out there about me which are very untrue, unfair and I feel like from that, really big up to my supporters," Dejon told his followers.
