Big Brother’s Jade Goody - Can you Forgive Her?
Big Brother’s Jade Goody – Can You Forgive Her?
This was an email sent to Heat Magazine, February issue, from Alvita.
‘I’ve never written to a magazine before, but after reading your interview with Jade, I feel shocked and disgusted. Jade has to have 24-hour security because of death threats, and cannot return to her own home for fear of her life. Who are we to make anyone feel like this? Jade was evicted from CBB to show that this country will not put up with bullying in any form, but after reading this interview it’s clear we have learnt nothing – what Jade and her family are going through now is 100 times worse. Shilpa won CBB by being dignified and tolerant (and forgiving). Let’s take a leaf out of her book and try to do the same.’
From Marco, London, same magazine,
‘Thank you, Heat, for listening to Jade and giving us the chance to make up our own minds. The sad part is that the people who are waging a campaign against Jade are guilty of the same bullying behaviour. A mature person would follow Shilpa’s example, mending relationships. That is the only way racism and bullying will be beaten. Jade needs to learn from this – though quite frankly, I don’t think she has any other option. So yes, Jade I forgive you and I hope to see you again and again, stronger, better and more balanced.
Shilpa Shetty’s words in Reveal, February issue,
‘I’m not Mother Teresa and I don’t want to sound as if I’m trying to salvage everyone’s lives. But haven’t they been punished enough? I m not condoning what they did, but I want people to see that, compared to the pain I went through in the house, they’ve gone through that, multiplied a hundred times.’
Star Magazine, February issue, HANG IN THERE JADE
‘Am I the only person who feels any sympathy for Jade in this so-called racism saga?
Yes, the girl was a total bully to Shilpa and showed her complete lack of intelligence. However, her comments were not racially motivated and I am disgusted at how she has to apologise for something that the media has branded her.
Watching Jade on CBBLB made my heart bleed. I hope that she can recovers from this.’ Beck, Surbiton.
CHANNEL 4 TO BLAME, a letter from Rachel, Bournemouth to Reveal.
When I chat to people about the CBB sage, most people agree that it just showed how bitchy women can be.
The whole thing was blown out of proportion. Channel 4 surely had some control over what was shown and how it was edited? They should have known that certain things would have caused public uproar – but it seems they were only interested in keeping ratings up. I feel very sorry for those involved.’
It is good to see Danielle Lloyd on so many of the magazine covers, brightening our day.

Ms Lewis. Thank you for your collection of quotes designed to reinforce your implausible position on Jade Goody, Jo O’Meara and Danielle Lloyd. Your top-notch, unbiased reporting couldn’t find any quotes balanced in the other direction? You truly are a journalistic wonder.
Why are you still rabbiting on about these people?
You say you want the public to leave them alone and give them a break? But at the same time, you’re continuously dredging up their misfortune on BB in order to strike up an argument. YOU are using THEM!
I don’t care much for Goody, O’Meara or Lloyd in any of this. Leave it alone, and the status quo will return and numpties everywhere will buy celeb magazines with Jade on the cover and exercise to her fitness DVDs while she’s spending the profits on liposuction.
One last thing: “Danielle Lloyd on so many magazines, brightening our day” What are you smoking? Can’t you see that the media is obviously more forgiving of her hourglass figure? If you were consistent in your message, you’d be bawling the media out for not treating all three equally.

What movtivated me, to answer your question, was the death of Anne Nicole Smith and I wondered how the bullying media and public would have felt if it had been one of the three BB girls who had been reported dead because of being pushed past endurance.
Secondly,reported on only the good articles, which were in the majority, because I did not want to become a racist or bully by propogating the nasty bits.

I totally agree EVERYONE STOP BULLYING JADE, enough is enough, has no one ever made a mistake in their lives???
CBB was only a TV Show not an earth shattering event
even Saddam wasn’t treated this badly , leave the girl alone, I hope she gets stronger with all this harassment and gets more popular. Are people really afraid of her because she broke through the class barrier and made a success of her life, more power to Jade I hope she has the best in her life , now she deserves it, she’s the victim.

People like yourself evelyn have a fixation on certain women and wont leave them alone.
Jade like most of the narcissists on BB have minimal talent and people who have shallow lives and similar personalities try to put those like themselves on a pedestal.Only because it also gives them hope.
Evelyn Lewis you are obviously a narcissists yourself and will fight for the rights of those like yourself to the bitter end.
Like Hitler’s SS men who suppported Hitler when everyone else gave up, or David Koresh’s followers who supported a lunatic to the bitter end, you see something in selected people which was is a figment of your imagination.
Leave Anna Nicole Smith out of this, Jade Goody is not fit to be mentioned in the same sentence.
You TEMPORARILY hate the media because it is not putting Jade on a pedestal, if they were putting your queen on a pedestal you would have no complaints with how they are doing their job. ( HYPOCRITE)
You are a narcissists who has grandiose beliefs about people you select as having a Godlike quality . You want the likes of Danielle, Jade and Co to have special treatment.
Jade did not become a brain surgeon, politician , actress etc. Airing your dirty linen in public for a career is not exactly breaking through the class barrier.
Drug Barons, Pornographers , Gangsters etc make a lot of money, but they live in a murky, sinister world.
Amassing wealth doesnt necessarily mean sucess it means you have amassed wealth. Nothing more or less.
Jade is not a rags to riches story, she is an example of a world that promotes self-obession, egomania, no talent, single-mindeness, no empathy and generally treateing people like dirt to get what you want.
The type of celebrity Jade and Co are means that she deals with the media soley for her career,as she is a hollow shell without th press. If you make deals with the devil, he eventually calls in his debt.
She ’s had a long run and the debt has now been called in.

A word of warnig to MS Goody she has made a lucrative career from fronting various diets and health schemes for lots of dosh.
Anna Nicole Smith did exactly the same thing in recent years and it back fired. Before she died Anna Nicole was being sued along with the people behind her latest diet venture for false advertising and misleading.
She would have lost her case if she had lived.
I suggest Jade retires from also making money this way as she will eventually end up in the courts. It is only a matter of time before someone sues a UK personality like Jade.
JADE admits to having surgery but is always selling diets and various exercise regimes, when a company flashes money in front of her face to promote whatever they want to sell to the public.
History repeats itself and as Jade has now seen no-one is above being the victim of a witch hunt.
Jade cant have it both ways. She should stop the press breakin her by leaving them alone. SHE SHOULD stop using them to promote herself and ventures.
IF SHE Doesnt she will end up killing herself. She had kids to look after them, so thats what she should do.
Deluding herself she is more than she is and deserves special treatment will end in her downfall.
She will simply be a long line of narcissists dying, because of her ego. Not because of an genuine wrong-doing the press have laid at her feet.
The press have driven many people to suicide who didnt deserve the treatment. MS Goody, I am afraid is simply not one of them.

LIFE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS OUR THOUGHTS Dawn
We can look at the rose or the thorns and what we see and take into our lives makes us what we are.

i love jade shes great i don’t think shes raciest atall i just think shilpa miss understood everything if shipa hadn’t made a big deal of it saying jade is a raciest the public would have never hated her, i dont understand how it was ok for shilpa to take the p*** out of every one but when something is said to her she says its raciest. i love her and think shes great if any one was really raciest in there it was that danni girl. and besides shilpa lied saying the only thing she brought of the shopping list was stock cubes thats enough to winde any one up. i do like shilpa but jade dont deserve any of this. she will make a come back.x

Evelyn,
I suggest you read Michael Mooore’s stupid white men. As if this applies to anyone Evelyn it applies to you.
We have free will and we are responsible for what we do or say freely , tuning out when we dont like to take responsibility for what we do is the mental foundation, for the most demented, psychotic people the world has ever known.
The people in society who demand special treatment, the ones who think they are better than others based on grandiose delusions, the ones that can never be castigated for reprehensible behaviour ( because they fly into rages, break down or feign illness or feign remorse).
These people have turned out to be the most evil, demented twisted sicko’s the world has ever known.As they eventually get away with murder, either doing it themselves or instigating “tuned out, look the other way idiots to do it for them”.
The irrational self pity of people with limited morality is only matched by the stupidity and arrogance of those who allow them to get away with it.
those who allow such narcissists to get away with it, have their own mental health issues that they need to deal with.
