Really? Iād be almost of the opposite opinion. She did loads of media(including Kelly) to bring awareness to the issue of rape, which is very brave. She later realised she hated Kelly for other reasons. She decided to shaft her, with a bit of a lie. Kelly fought back. May not have been wise on Kellyās part to fight it but itās something terrible to be accused of. I dont like Kellyās show but I completely back her right to call out someone lying about her.

Letās face it; if Kelly was 5 stone heavier would she ever have made a career in the media?
Sheās on the radio for a reason,a sniper wouldnāt take her out.
Did she not originally come to the publicās attention on Operation Transformation?
Telling fat people that eating chocolate , chips and pizza makes you fat
I donāt know Iāve only heard her shite talk on the radio.A terrible human being.
Agree, sheās absolute cringe. Iād rather listen to someone scraping a blackboard
I looked into this a bit today. It seems that Linda Scooby Doo said that her 85 year old father had no idea she was a rape victim until the Ciara Kelly interview. In fact Linda Scooby Doo had already written a series of articles about what happened her, including for broadsheet.ie.
I might be completely wrong but it looks a lot like she was just completely lying. I should say that I canāt find the original interview or the original offending tweet, theyāve all bee taken down, but thatās the way it looks like based on what Iāve seen.
Also, here comes something edgy but thereās something about that Linda Scooby Doo girl that just doesnāt sit right with me. She seems determined to have her name thrown into the centre of every single sexual assault story. For example during the Eoghan McDermott story she tweets āI am working with Eoghan McDermottās victims, getting them civil and legal helpā or something like that, and then 100s of people commenting telling her hiw great she is. Why does she have to tweet that? Can she not just help those poor women without announcing it? She reminds me of a person videoing themselves giving food to the homeless. I think sheās attention seeking and trying to make it all about her. Sheās holding herself out as a hero to get elected off the back of it. Sheās like the Aidi Roche of the Irish sexual assault scene.
This was actually what got her into trouble with Ciara Kelly. Irish Twitter was having a bit of a pile-in onto Kelly. Iām not sure why, maybe because Kelly was anti-lockdown for a while, but thatās a guess. Not to be outdone Linda Scooby Doo pulled out this story about the interview and her poor 85vyear old father from way back. Then Ciara Kelly refused to back down.
Linda Scooby Doo is not shy about talking about her rape. Sheās also not shy about discussing mental health and gives multiple updates a week on her panic attacks and psychiatric medication. A cynic would interpret it as attention seeking.
So thatās my edgy opinion and although I donāt have all the facts I think Ciara Kelly was right. However I ultimately donāt know enough about Linda Scooby Doo and I also respect @glasagusban 's opinion.

Donāt know where she was before but she definitely got the gig on newstalk by being a woman in the right place at the right time. I think NT shafted her a bit production wise at first. Seemed to have a very small team and terrible content. Loads of shoutouts for people to call her and tell her what to talk about. Felt very sorry for her. Sheās certainly found her feet/identity now, itās just not very appealing imo.
All Iāve seen is whatās been posted here. I think Linda said that her father found out about her rape by it being introduced by Kelly on air. It seems Linda had already mentioned it publicly, but it doesnāt seem to me like Kelly had cleared bringing it up with her live on air, which I think is something that any person with a bit of tact or empathy would do.
It also seems to me like Linda is of a type that would really annoy lots of lads on here (ok she just seems annoying in general) and thatās influencing reaction too. Seems a bit wrong to me to be enjoying someoneās public climbdown quite so much when it is related to the fact that they are a victim of rape.

A cynic might. A normal person would probably feel sorry for her, and if it annoyed them, avoid her tweets, itās easily done.
I think a normal person would be cynical here with the information at hand.

So now setting defamation dogs on someone who told porky pies about you is in the letter but not the spirit of the law.
What a weird twisted post truth world you have created for yourself
Your misogynistic hatred of Kelly is blinding you

A normal person would probably also tell her to be avoiding Twitter if her mental health is unstable, lest she draw more negative attention on herself
What does āshe/herā mean in twitter bio ??
Iām in agreement with the broad thrust of your novella there but rape is not like other crimes, those who have suffered it need to know there are those out there who will listen.
