No grovelling apologies for Jo, by the looks of things.

And whats all this crap about some of the housemates getting death threats????? For gods sake, people, get a bloody grip!!!

http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/ (http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/)

My, she really is vile! I don't get it when people say BB showed them in bad light! BB showed her as she was, she said these things and she did sit about in her housecoat smoking!

Hard as nails though.............and I doubt very much that helicopters are going to be hunting her down!!

Just as soon as I thought we had got shut of this hard faced harridan then there she is scowling from the front page of one of the Sundays! Does anyone know the reason she did not turn up for any of the telly interviews, I know she was probably lying low but arnt they contracted to appear? :wallbash:

The Sun are reporting that Jo O'Meara's agent died over the weekend, so maybe she isnt appearing because of that?

Yes, probably died of embarrasment...

Apparently he died of a massive heart attack and Jo is "blaming herself" for it :huh:

Did anyone see Jo on GMTV this morning ???

Apparently BB edited her to make her look bad, and the newspaper edited everything she said and twisted it to make her look bad.

Does she take responsibility for anything ?

Fiona from GMTV had to meet her in a hotel for her interview as she couldnt go home due to death threats, and she wasnt strong enough to go to the studios.

She cried, she wiped her nose and she shaked. She didnt look too good to be honest ... but i do still think she brought it on herself.

Yes Bonsai and I was screaming at the telly – (my poor neighbours). What a pathetic and pitiful exhibition with her shaking and dabbing her eyes. I don’t believe a flaming word of it. Jo is one nasty piece of work, no amount of editing - and believe me if you watched the live feed she behaved like it all the time - can made you into something you are not. She did nothing but lie around the house all day with a sour face in that grubby dressing gown, smoking and complaining. Jermaine said neither she nor Danielle washed up once although they were cooked for ever day by Shilpa. Is that BB’s fault? The thing that is really annoying me is its going over and over again about the racism and bullying of Shilpa when nothing is mentioned the way she treated Dirk. Constantly bitching about him with her sidekick, Cleo, and laughing at him, and wanting on more than one occasion to do something to his food when he depend on a special diet for his cancer treatment. What sort of person is that? I thought Fiona behaved disgracefully as well fawning around her. Grrrrr:wallbash:

It`s surprising how gaunt you can make yourself look without any makeup. Then we had to listen to sobs and sniffles. Still didn`t win any sympathy votes from me though

It was pathetic and fake, I doubt many folks fell for it - and that was just the lamentable Fiona Philips.

I just won't watch any of these 'excuses' on TV now, first sign they are comming on and I 'offit', or switch over. There is NO excuse for what they did, or how they behaved.

I know I'm in the minority here, but I actually feel quite sorry for Jo. I know she was a bitch to Shilpa and about Dirk to say the least, but the media have gone completely overboard on this and villified her more than necessary, imo, just to make a bit of extra money. Shilpa/Jade/Jo/Danielle made their peace in the house (Dirk didn't even give a stuff) and it should have been left like that.

Unfortunately for Jo, she doesn't have the money or people behind her to help build bridges that Jade has. I didn't think she was faking her performance this morning and I think she is genuinely shaken by the whole thing, understandably, however much of it she "brought upon herself". At the end of the day, all she is guilty of is having acted like a bitch. How many of us can say we haven't? The only difference is that she was filmed doing it. Jo is being treated like a scapegoat to make money for the newspapers and to appease the consciences of those of us who recognise something similar in ourselves.

To be honest I just wish all the TV channels would stop giving these snivelling fools the time of day......

If they did that, what would you have to report on young Pandemonia?

good post Patsy! I'm in that minority with you. Enough is enough for goodness sake, she hasn't killed anyone, she hasn't started a war, she hasn't even hit anyone - she's just made a complete and utter fool of herself and shown herself up to be a two faced moany old cow - (hey been there, done that, will do it again myself!) and the media (who s**t really DOES smell) have jumped on her like a baying mob wanting to rip her apart. leave her alone.

The thing that bugs me about Jo is her TOTAL unwillingness to accept responsibility for anything.

She claims to have been misrepresented and misquoted.

She says that living in the BB house was like living in a fishbowl - what the hell did she expect?

The first thing that people have to realise is that nobody forced her to go into the house - she wanted to save her home - why didn't she try working or was BB the "easy" option.

Nobody should be in the state that she is in - and nobody should be getting death threats.

What I wonder is though - why did she do the interview in the first place - she wasn't getting paid for it - she didn't put her side across - the only conclusion I can come to is that she was doing it to garner some sympathy.

to garner some sympathy.

Of course she is and she is not sorry, just sorry at the way she has come across to the public. She obviously thoguht she was being highly entertaining! As Pandora says why are these snivelling fools getting constant air time. I have had enough of the three of them now

Ooh, I know I have said that she is hard but having thought things over I think I fall into Patsy & Dol's camp. Yes, she said some horrid things but having been there, done that I can understand a bit from where Jo is coming from. We are not all perfect and I am sure we have all at some point in our lives said some horrible things behind people back's.

As Dol has said, she hasn't killed anyone and for those people who have (if they have) sent her death threats then they need to take a long, hard look at themselves and come down from the ivory towers!

Don't forget that "the media" is you me and him and her next door - it is not a separate entity, it is the GBP.

BY the way, does anyone know if anyone ever dies after getting a death threat?

No, the media is the newspapers and TV. They spew out all the bile and the GBP unfortunately lap it up, or at least some of them do. A rather narrow-minded, blinkered case of "if it's in the papers or on the telly, it must be true".

Not just wishing to single out punky, but anyone else who thinks her treatment is justified.

Easy to mock, but think about this. You're in the office, chatting away to your mates/colleagues, having a laugh, bitching about the girl in accounts, who happens to be of mixed race/overweight/ginger, whatever. You don't realise your conversation is being overheard. Someone reports you to HR, rumours go around and you get labelled racist/fattist/gingerist, whatever. You could even lose your job. You may then have to explain to your next potential employer why you were sacked. And so it goes on.

You haven't done it on national TV, but it's the same thing. A bit of bitching that went wrong. That's all. Do you still think it's justified?

I hear what you are saying Patsy but Jo's nastiness to Shilpa wasn’t a one off incident like you are describing. The fact that she was a bitch towards Dirk saying, something like "He is ready to crack and we wont stop until we push him over the edge" It just proves that she is a bully and finds it funny hurting other people, now she knows what it feels like. Endemol did not dub the words onto her mouth! It must be hard for her at the moment but she has to accept that she brought it on herself instead of continually saying she has done nothing wrong. Her whole behaviour and demeanour in the house for the whole 25 days showed what a completely unlikeable person she was and all this crying, looking dishevelled with no make up on in front of the cameras and spurting nonsense like she is having a nervous breakdown is just pure spin and I for one will not be taken in by it. If you feel sorry for her then that is fine but I am afraid people reap what they sow and she has to take responsibility for her actions in that house.

I feel so sorry for them all. I feel sorry for Shilpa for what she went through, but I also feel sorry for Jade and Jo. I totally agree Patsy, we are all guilty of what they have done, probably even a lot worse in some cases. But to be vilified so much as what they have is unforgiveable. All these lives ruined in the name of entertainment. It's sad.

Also Punky, if you had ever experienced a nervous breakdown or seen someone close go through one, you maybe might get a better picture of what is going on for Jade and Jo. The majority of people never fully recover from one. This will affect the rest of their lives.

Excellent post Patsy and I put my hands to saying things about Jo etc, that their behaviour was disgraceful and maybe it was but I don't think they should be remembered for just that. They are paying big time for this but the media are taking their typical viewpoint and hanging these girls out to dry. They said bitchy comments and as Patsy has pointed out, we have all done that, and anyone who says they haven't are either lying or is a modern day saint!

We all sat at home and watched this behaviour carrying on and when it was reported on the TV, more people switched onto watch Shilpa being "bullied"....what does that say about them? The viewing figures went up, everyone was talking about it and everyone had an opinion but we as a nation still watched this unfold, we saw it as entainment when really maybe we should have just switched off!

I do hope that Jo gets the help she needs and even though she was one of the guilty parties, she has paid for her crime. Shilpa has done well out of this too, her career is going to rocket and if she can forgive & forget then why can't the GBP?

I don't feel in the least bit sorry for Jade. She's done this before, been shown time and time again as a bully. I don't agree she's racist but a bully, undoubtedly.

Jo, I do have some sympathy for - she's obviously a complete nervous wreck and said some daft things. Again, I don't think she's racist.

Danielle, I find it more difficult to have sympathy for because of her reaction on coming out of the house. Despite Davina's tone and the headlines she was shown, she didn't seem to grasp the seriousness of it all. Of the 3 of them I'd say she was certainly the most racist in some of her comments.

But I agree Patsy, we do all say things about people that we wouldn't want to say to their faces but luckily we're not being filmed 24/7.

Absolutely spot on Maxine.

None of them were edited badly. Endemol, despite its many faults, cannot put venomous words into people's mouths. If theyve said bitchy, vile, sh!tty things, then we get to hear every word in all its glory.

The mistake some of these celebs make is forgetting the cameras are on them and not realising that Endemol engineer situations in order to cause conflict. There again, having been asked to do the show, would you not do your homework instead of breezing into the house expecting none of your faults to be shown?

Basically some of the celebs in the house this year have reaped what they sowed. Saying all of that, I think the hysteria surrounding the bullying in the house has got way out of hand. The death threats/threats to harm their families and the three zelebs they are aimed at, are incredibly OTT and absolutely bloody ludicrous.

What gets me more than anything is that Endemol set all of these celebs up to fail and then got all self-righteous in their eviction interviews about they fact that they did fail !

And another thing. Why all the fuss about Jade Goody's outright aggression, bullying and reducing another housemate to tears with her relentless onslaught and name calling, when there wasnt an iota of fuss made when she did it to Rik Waller, three years ago in Back to Reality, watched by just over a million people? Why no indignant outrage then?

All of us have at some time displayed the same characteristics that these three zelebs did in the house (though I hope none of us have EVER been as breathtakingly stupid as Danielle), we have all backstabbed, we all bitch (including blokes), we have all ganged up at one time or another. What we havent done is gone on TV and been paid £50K plus and then come out and excused our behaviour or made out we have been misrepresented when its obvious that we havent. One of Jo O'Meara's main excuses for laughing during the disgraceful Jade v Shilpa tirade was that she was nervous/that it was ridiculous the row was all over an oxo cube and that the laughing had been taken out of context. How odd then, that she doesnt mention the fact that straight after laughing she said, "oh god, thats made my day....." which put her laughing firming IN context.

Saying all of that, the vilification that Jade and Jo are getting at the moment is way way out of control.
Anyone noticed that Jackiey and Danielle aren't getting half as much flak as Jade and Jo (it doesnt seem so anyway), could it be because they've both kept their heads down since this all blew up?

I think that by being advised by their PR Teams to appear on TV and in the newspapers so much, Jo and Jade have inflamed their situation more than ever and provided ammunition for the newspapers to get even more hysterical and for the loonies out there to get on the phone and issue death threats.

Here's hoping someone tells Jade and Jo to leave it now. To go back home and be with their families and to keep a very low profile if possible. That way the media will lose the oxygen of publicity these two are providing them with every time they pop up, sobbing......

I don't feel in the least bit sorry for Jade. She's done this before, been shown time and time again as a bully. I don't agree she's racist but a bully, undoubtedly.

Totally agree with this Maxine.

Yes, I feel a little sympathy for Jo and Danielle (Jo more so).

Jade - never. We've seen her reduce people to tears more than once on TV. I think that this nasty piece of work truly deserves everything that's thrown at her as a result of her sheer ignorance and bullying actions in that house.

Her whole behaviour and demeanour in the house for the whole 25 days showed what a completely unlikeable person she was and all this crying, looking dishevelled with no make up on in front of the cameras and spurting nonsense like she is having a nervous breakdown is just pure spin and I for one will not be taken in by it. If you feel sorry for her then that is fine but I am afraid people reap what they sow and she has to take responsibility for her actions in that house.

I so agree with Punkyfish. Jo was vile in the house, as well as moody and lazy. I watched hours of the live feed and she spent most of her time lying around, smoking and constantly twiddling and playing with her hair. I never warmed to her character. Shilpa's words to Dirk on the last evening were that Jo and Danielle never washed up once. I hope we've seen the last of her and she should just disappear into the background and get a normal job like the rest of us. Perhaps if she had been a little more pleasant in the house then she would be rebuilding her career like some of the luckier ones who have appeared in these reality shows to enhance their profiles. Good riddance.
