Jade Goody Disappointed By Celebrity Friends
Jade Goody has expressed her disappointment in her celebrity ‘friends’, most of whom have failed to contact her since she was diagnosed with cancer last year.
Jade told The Mirror:
“I’ve not really heard from any other celebrities though,” she continued. “But then I never had many celebrity friends. I loved Jonathan Ross and going on his show and it would have been nice to have a card from him or a call or something.
“And Jimmy Carr I loved too but I never heard from him either. I loved meeting them at the time, but maybe to them I was just another contestant on their show.
“I did used to be friends with the Prince of Brunei and we hung out together a bit. He rang me when I was first diagnosed but since then he hasn’t been to see me or sent a card so maybe we weren’t friends after all.”
In fairness to all the celebs Jade is slating, being seen with Jade Goody is probably the equivalent of career cancer….would you inflict it on yourself?

She was paid to go on their shows that does not make them friends. Plus there are so many contradicting stories in the media no-one is sure where she is at with her cancer.

Jade, well where do I start. I have just watched the end of your programme, there is nothing that I can truly say, only that I can I did see you in big brother and as I was much younger myself back then, did realise the wounded soul you were back then, totally a product of your own lack of self esteem, and self worth. And as normal, men take advantave and take the piss. I was so pleased that you did so well after BB and do you know something as well, your comment on the last programme celebrity BB was not in my opinion in any way racist. However this indian woman, I cannot even remember her name, but she had one clear distinction from all of you guys and that was education and culture. You have got very far, because of your huge burning survival instinct, and that survival was your ultimate downfall, as people that are educated and cultured, have little understanding of the basic human need for survival. Nietzche once stated that emotional pain brings on emotional growth. You were a hurt and angry soul, but coming from your childhood experience what can anyone expect. You were an easy target for our middle classes, that have as much emotional intelligence as a small primate. So just to say, your doing an incredible job as a mother, and as a role model for young women. Your positivity is amazing. I send you all my good wishes, and prayers. You are beautiful both inside and outside, always was, and always will be. When you get through all of this, take note of the people that were there for you and the ones that let you down. The people that care about you, will always be there, the people that dont, are materialistic, and emotionally dependent on the success of others. Love to you and your family xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jade – like the person above who has commented following this evening’s programme – I also just wanted to write to you. I have always followed your career, both ups and downs, since BB, and it has to be said, I’ve always fiercely defended your corner over the Shilpa Shetty farce.
Tonight Jade, I cried for you. I am also currently going through cancer treatment (for the fifth time) and you are a complete inspiration. I have never felt so moved by someone’s fight and spirit. I watched the previous programme in October and have followed all of the media updates since then. Obviously there has been lots written about your illness and particularly your additional cancer related problems since Christmas. I know what you are going through with the chemo and how hard it is. My thoughts and wishes for you are sincere and sent with the best of intentions. I really hope you stay strong and continue on with your battle with the love and support of all your family and friends…………….. and, of course, Jack who must be due home to you any day now. Jade, if there is anything I can ever do to help, be a listener, have a laugh with, then please feel free to get in touch. I live just an hour or so away from you and would be there at any time for you. Much love and very best wishes to you, the boys, Jacqui and Jack. Take care of yourself. My phone number is 01832 205053. xxxx

Aiobheann Power & kay murray need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Jade Goody is the architect of her own downfall. She never, ever deserved to reach the heights of wealth and fam that she achieved. and none of it was ‘earned’ or achieved through her own efforts. She has merely been feted by the tabloids (pandering as they do to the low-of-brow) and the Sad-Mags (Chat, Bella, Heat, etc.) She has been used by others for the purpose of making money. e.g. She has prostituted herself. If that wasn’t enough, she was moronic enough to bite-the-hand that was feeding her by reminding her fans just what a nasty, ignorant, narrow-minded, agressive chav she is. of course, her fans have fallen over themselves to forgive her. Why? to protect themselves from the awful reality – that they have spent the past 6+ years avidly following the fortunes of a thick, ugly (inside & out!) bint.
The end of the Goody money making machine is finally in sight, thank god.
And if it takes her cancer-ridden corpse to finally end this farce, well that’s fine by me.

Paul – whilst I appreciate that we live in a democracy and that therefore everyone is entitled to their opinion, I’m somewhat surprised that despite your obvious intense hatred of Jade you still watched the programme. I’m unsure if you are trying to get an agressive response from me to your remarks, and usually that would be my preferred reaction, but there would be little point. For what it’s worth I don’t read down-market mags or newspapers and have been a Clinical Nurse Manager for over 28 years so I’m not exactly the ‘needing to wake up and smell the coffee type’. I AM, however, a fellow long-term cancer sufferer also fighting for my life and therefore have a very strong empathy with other people in the same plight, whatever their lifestyle and circumstances. My only response would be to say that I disagree that Jade doesn’t deserve her lifestyle – she has worked her arse off to provide her children with security and a lifestyle that she certainly never had herself and I would defy anyone not to be moved by her feelings about losing her hair and, as most women would feel, her femininity. I can only hope that neither you nor any of your own family go through the same experience.

I watched the programme, I must say my heart goes out to Jade. She is a young woman who is going through an illness that you would not wish on your worst enemy.She is losing her hair which on its own for a young woman is a traumatic experience.
I bet the question has gone through her head a thousand times and more ‘what will happen to my boys? Will she live to see them grow up and have children of their own??? She is bound to have no end of un-answered questions, and where are the so called friends now?? The true friends will be by her side, the others were never friends anyway. Goodluck Jade and god bless you.
I hope that the treatment works and you will so be back with your big smiles. xx

Please can anyone who has got Jade’s contact number get in touch with me via my email address: (a.david11@yahoo.com). What she needs right now is not sympathy, rather she wants to be healed of the disease. There is help for her.
Best regards

If you can read this by any chance, I don’t really care where you have been and what you have done (or not done, as the case may be). The point is that we did all sin and sure lost it with God. The good news is that Jesus Christ paid the price for all that we did, and has made the love of God available to all who will come to God through Him. Jesus has paid the price for our healing. Get in touch and you will see the love and miracle of God. All for free

I feel very very sorry for this courageous young woman and her family. I also came from a poor backround and had to struggle for what i now have. Which is a good job, live in a nice house and have two lovely boys. But for this i have had to work hard and to lose all that and your boys to cancer must be totally unbearable. Although the caring poeple of us out there who are not known to Jade as friends we understand her pain and feelings and can only hope the doctors can assist her. Those who have nothing decent to say should keep their opinions to themselves and neither her or her family should have to see such nasty comments. Who of us can comment on somebody life when none us are perfect and all make mistakes an erros in our life. Maybe those who make these comments should take a closer look at themselves fist.
February 11th, 2009 at 10:12 pm
I agree whole heartedly with Paul.Regardless of how you feel about a person I find it hard to believe you can be so flippant with your comments about their life.Karma is ar real as cancer with 1 in 3 people getting it.I was never a fan of Jade but I think she is a brave,inspirational young woman.If her plight makes one woman go for a smear test or examine their breasts then it’s not all been in vain.Kay Murray I’m guessing you haven’t lost anyone to cancer.I wouldn’t wish any form of cancer on friend foe.I think alot of people dislike Jade because she has made lots of money apparently not doing much to earn it.In reality she has worked very hard to ensure a financial secure future for her sons.So to Jade,Paul and any other cancer sufferers/survivors,my thoughts are with you.Stay strong and know you are in my prayers.For those people who have nothing positive to say,you are in my prayers to-you need all the help you can get.xxx
February 11th, 2009 at 10:22 pm
Sorry Kay Murray,I am sorry my comments were for Paul Kersey.I misread the comments!Ditto Debbie.Chinenye-I’m a Christian but believe people should make up their own minds.Your comments are not Christian like.Shame on you.Jade doesn’t need to be bible bashed at this moment in time,so leave it out.
February 12th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Hi Dawn,
Don’t worry about the misunderstanding – the way this forum is set up makes you think the comments you are reading are from the name below it and not above….. an easy mistake to make!!
I totally agree with you about Jade not needing to be Bible bashed. I’m also a Christian but wouldn’t dream of trying to force my own opinions of religion upon anyone. As for asking if anyone has Jade’s contact number, thankfully noone responded to that. The last thing Jade and her family need right now is someone like that on the other end of the phone.
I just hope that Jade gets well enough to be able to go home and spend some quality time with her boys, Jack and Jackiey. She IS an inspiration to many and the way she has handled her illness, including dealing with it very publicly, can only help bring this illness to the forefront of people’s minds and if that means that even one person gets checked early enough for any potential problem to be treated and cured early,everything Jade has done will be worthwhile.
I wish her and her family all the very best and truly hope she is recovering from her latest operation.
February 14th, 2009 at 10:24 am
I would just like to say how sorry I am to hear about Jade. I have only ever seen her on he Telly but know one deserves what she has got , Why I feel for her as I have had cancer but I was one of the lucky ones to have beaten it. I would love her to know there are people that are thinking of her , we are not celebrities we are human and have feelings.
Best regards Marion Weldon

Hi Jade
Not quite sure how this works…..? but here goes! You are an incredibly brave woman who has swam against adversity.. probably all your life!! and through your first experience on big brother have courted the media in more ways than one ….. But at the end of the day you are a wonderful mum doing the very best for your children I am so sad for you and the children regarding your illness I wish you all the strength and courage you already have to keep going….. god bless you Jade

FURTHER COMMENT IN RESPONSE TO PAUL KERSEY’S COMMENT FROM ABOVE!
I SINCERELY HOPE GOD DOESNT COME KNOCKING ON YOUR DOOR BEFORE YOUR TIME! WHAT HAPPENED TO HUMANITY AND HUMILITY? NONE OF US ARE WITHOUT SIN IF THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE IMPLYING …. I SUGGEST YOU SIT BACK AND EVALUATE YOUR LIFE… FORTUNATELY YOU HAVE THE TIME TO DO THIS POOR Jade doesn’t have this time think and refect you cold bastard!
February 16th, 2009 at 7:23 pm
Paul Kersey….you nasty, evil, heartless waste of life!!!! What goes around comes around, your time will come. I hope you have the same support you give, when it does!!! DISGUSTING!!!!
February 17th, 2009 at 4:42 pm
dear Paul Kersey
You are evil beyond belief.
February 24th, 2009 at 10:04 pm
Paul Kersey …. What a sick twisted wierdo you are!!! I hope your sat all alone at home wondering why people are leaving nasty replies to your letter at least that will explain your sick twisted mind, if your not wondering and you know why people are horrified what you have wrote then God help you because no human being can help you. You make me sick
February 25th, 2009 at 12:53 pm
well to be very frank JADE GOODY diseases can be curable.
Actually those who got direct contact with her then please give her the message as soon as possible.its a request.
February 25th, 2009 at 11:50 pm
That’s harsh I think. If we accepted that we think and create our own reality and that it’s up to us to “make ourselves happy” then we wouldn’t think other people owed it to us to make us happy. And if you think about it, how can a life of being dependent on others for our happiness ever really work and how fair is it to make someone else totally responsible for our own inner happiness?
I think we have to find and be our own selves, for us and no-one else, as I think Jade has done a times. Like most of us, sometimes she can do that and other times it’s more difficult. I think I understand and believe in the theory and do believe it works; but years of ingrained “ought to’s and “shoulds” are hard to escape.
March 2nd, 2009 at 12:22 am
It’s pretty futile argueing about it, but have we all forgotten what a horrid, racist cow she is? I for one wouldn’t give a shit if Nick Griffin got cancer. Can we really all forgive her just because she’s dieing? And even now she is milking her fame dry. She doesn’t need the money for her kids, she is a multimillionaress. Why doesn’t she give the money to charity? And there is always someone playing the God card in these situations. Mabye if there was evidence for you schizophrenic superstitions she might convert. And so might I.

Hi jade, be brave god’s love is real and only he can heal! I have been a fan fr day 1 and have enjoyed watching u grow and mature, hold ur head up high girl all those nasty pepole who have said bad thing’s about u r a waste of space and life!! Enjoy every day 2 the fullest gold bless u x
March 10th, 2009 at 5:18 pm
Well people can be as hypocritical as they want but not me I’m afraid. Jade Goody will never be an iconic figure to me and no one has the right to put her there either. Good luck to those little boys and their futures. I hope her passing is peaceful and painless. Now think of all the thousands of other sufferers who won’t have the financial support, extra care and the worries they have no choice but to leave behind. And as for the celebs who won’t be hypocrites..good on em. Stop adding to this already morbid and sickening curiosity. If you want to give your support there’s plenty of people out there who need it.

My Fiancee who I was planning to marry died from lung cancer 18 months ago earlier than we,d hoped, like Jade not everything went well with diagnosis at the beginning, could have lived for a longer time,I still haven,t dated anyone though i am still fairly young, i,d just like to tell jade to keep fighting,the memories of the cancer have been brought back a bit but i agree with what she is doing as it helps awareness of the trauma of cancer. I don’t have a contact for Jade but in the past I didn’t believe in life after death,i’d like to reassure her there is something, I have had weird scents of flowers when there were none and seemed to also see feathers when i thought of him and wished for a sign. To be honest I thought all this sounded like rubbish but what is more precious to me is that after death andys mouth curved into a smile ,it was weird but comforting, he said he’d give a sign. could someone please pass this on to Jade but what I ams till saying is keep fighting and hope for miracles luv Pen xxx

Hi All, I really feel for Jade, I think the episode on BB was not her being racist, she was just being herself, a really thick uneducated chav. I do think it was Jo and Danielle that were the racists, anyway, back to Jade. I do agree with one of the previous comments about her not deserving to be so rich by being so thick, it doesnt make sense. However, her cancer has made me really feel for her as no one deserves this disease and she has 2 young boys who need a Mother. Yes, Jade may not have been the darling of the masses but we can certainly remember her as a colourful soul. Best of luck bird!! X
