Big Brother winner Josie Gibson regrets having an abortion
Josie Gibson has admitted that she regrets having an abortion to please an ex-boyfriend.
In an interview with OK magazine, the former Big Brother winner revealed that she had been dating the same man for five years, though he continuously cheated on her and revealing just what a scumbag this individual was she admitted:
“I think he cheated to make himself feel better. He did it loads of times. One time he got somebody else pregnant.”
When she was just 20 years old, Gibson fell pregnant herself and while she wanted to keep her baby, she allowed herself to be talked into having an abortion that she didn’t want. Josie added:
“He waited until I was three months gone to tell me that he didn’t want it. I even had baby names picked and he turned around and told me that he didn’t want our child and that I should get rid of it.”
She admitted: “I didn’t really want to have an abortion.
“But I did it anyway, to please him. Big mistake.”
Giving advice to other women in the same boat, Josie insisted:
“Don’t be forced into anything, don’t have an abortion for any man. Everything will work out alright in the end if you stay true to your own heart.”
After the magazine went on sale and Josie’s followers started sending her messages of support, she took to twitter to thank them saying:
Thankyou 4 tweets guys. Was a little worried about OK mag with being so open about everything but I’m happy you understand x

its not the end of the world to have had an abortion. anyway it happened a long time ago. you were still very young andyou’ve learned your lesson thanks god you didn’t stay with your unresponsible boyfriend look at you now,you’ve got john james who is the love of ur life and who loves and care about you a lot,we the fans love you josie.
People often mock abstinence and waiting for marriage, but it prevents SO MANY problems, so many huge, life-changing problems.
…and life ending problems too.
it’s the end of the world for that baby….
Good for you Jamie to speak your mind as you did to this magazine. Your voice will absolutely inspire many people and we need more heroic people like you. I thank you.
This is an important story to be told. How many women want to keep their baby but the “man” and I use that term loosely, influences her or even forces her to get an abortion? No real man would do such a thing. If a guy thinks he is man enough to have sex with a woman then he should be a man and take responsibility when she gets pregnant and become a father.
What you said was beautiful! Thank you.
Abortion IS the end of the world for that baby, yes. Bless you, Josie, for speaking up. Your honesty will save a life. And ALL life is precious, even the lives of those who think abortion isn’t the end of the world.
Abortion IS the end of the world for that baby, yes! Bless you, Josie, for speaking up. Your honesty will save a life. And ALL life is precious and sacred, even the lives of those who think abortion isn’t the end of the world.
I find it insulting when a woman regrets her abortion and opens up about it and people like a commenter here say “Its no big deal. It was a long time ago” as if her pain and regret are somehow not valid because YOU don’t think abortion is a big deal. Who cares if it happened a long time ago? When you lose a child it stays with you FOREVER and women should be allowed to speak about their pain without being belittled.
Ooh my boyfriend was a cheater. He made me do it. He’s a scumbag. Etc. Take some responsibility, Jose. You killed your own child, you could of left the fella and kept the baby but you didn’t. It’s more your fault than his. Girls don’t blame the world around you when you make bad decisions, hold up your hands and say sorry, if you are sorry. Lets face it anyone that goes on bb seeks attention and that’s what she’s getting now and money too. Bad show earning cash from a murder you committed even if your accomplice was a bad one. Lets face it, your no snow white yourself.
It’s not a boohoo story! It’s a warning to Girls in her position! Regardless of your beliefs or opinions, if it makes just one girl think twice before feeling pressured into giving up a baby, then the article was worth every word. Nuff said!
Still a cop out.
Hello Josie,
I’m from the USA and find your story an inspiration. I pray in front of an abortion clinic in my city (THE BRONX,New York) and I see the pain that you describe on the faces of the mothers and fathers leaving the clinic. I will add you to my prayers. I know of 3 friends who have their regrets also (you are not alone). When you are ready please look for a Post-Abortion Healing Program. Many of them are run by Catholic organizations in the USA, but I’m sure you could find something in the UK. GOD LOVES YOU and FORGIVES YOU…somethings its just harder to forgive ourselves.
jfc, it was a FOETUS not a BABY/CHILD
“A rose by any other name….”
If no one has been in this position, then no one can judge. You did what you thought you was right at the time, for him. Men can be persuasive, I know that!
Just think you wouldn’t have the life you have now. Plenty of time for children with a decent man.
Dnt regret, move forward & be happy.
I’m sure your story will help some women. So be proud and look forward to the future.
bb zoombie;
dont you think josie hurt enough cuz of that?, what you said was out of order, and yes it is your opinion, but you didn’t need to say that, some woman do make mistakes, and men can force and brain wash women into having a abortion, like my ex did me.
atleast she’s admitted it and put her story across, it can help many other women!, she inspiers. ,e
