CHARLOTTE Crosby fans have been left heartbroken for the star as they slam her Geordie Shore co-stars for "bitching" about her.
It comes after Charlotte, 33, admitted that she was going through a tough time when the row escalated, and she felt compelled to "defend" herself after some of the "hurtful" comments.
The new mum exited after a heated dispute with co-star Marnie Simpson over a highchair, and insisted her departure was final.
Many fans have raced to support the Charlotte and lashed out at her co-stars for slagging her off on the latest episode of MTV show.
One fan raged: "Charlotte has just lost her nan and her mum's battling cancer - why are they b*******g about her?"
A second posted: "So Charlotte became a first time mum, lost her gran and her mum was battling cancer were any of them there for her because I bet not!"

She shared on Instagram: "Hi everyone. I just wanted to pop on to say thanks so much for all the lovely messages I've received over the the last 24 hours. They've meant a lot.
"I havent had a chance to watch the new eps of Geordie Shore, but I don't think I will.
"I really was quite clueless as to conversations that were being had behind my back by "Friends".
"Last year whilst filming was going on, I had just had a baby, lost my beloved nana and was trying to be by my mam's side during her cancer diagnosis.
"I know many of you are already fully aware of the roller coaster of emotions we went through as a family that year, so I feel a little saddened I have to bring this up in a bid to try and defend myself.
"I was hoping to be really strong when the show aired and try to brush it off like I wasn't bothered, but I am hurt and I can't quite seem to shake it off.
"Life is too short to argue though. I'm going to count my blessings, value my loved ones and move on with my head held high. Love you all lots."
Earlier this week, the Geordie Shore legend was missing as the cast gathered to take part in interviews and a photoshoot to promote the new series.
Marnie later acknowledged a possibility of reconciliation but stated she wouldn't be the one to initiate contact.
She told The Sun: "I think it’s a shame because the memories what we got, it’s a shame that we’ve lost the friendship but it is what it is.
"It doesn’t get us down, I’m not losing any sleep over it.
