Except it's more than likely to be a load of bollocks invented by dirty tabloid hacks with no concept of the term "journalistic integrity", have a look at the above links and judge for yourself.

If you read what I wrote, it's the attitude in her GMTV interview that lends credence to the tone, if not the specifics, of the Mirror interview. I've no doubt that they did a hatchet job - they're tabloid "journalists", that's what they do - but she could have given them a different story to write and she didn't, because she genuinely doesn't seem to think that she did anything wrong. She's just dismissive of it all - this didn't happen, I don't remember saying that, they edited it to make me look bad, they didn't show that time I was nice to her, some of my family are married to Indians so I can't possibly be a racist. She hasn't even begun to think about what she might have done to cause all this.

seems like Jo needs better support staff and better management.

to be fair, her managment have done their best to revive her flagging career. It could have gone well and it could have gone not so well, but the gamble didin't pay off. If the goody family and danielle hadn't been there it could have all been very different IMO. A lot of the spite, racism and general bullying were the result of a group of people getting together and validating each others perspectives and encouraging each other to take things further and further.

I don't know what support Jo is getting now but even the very best therapist will have their work cut out and can't perform miracles.

OK so she's in denial, making her feel like a caged animal is not nice.

but she's a singer with a pop group

you occasionally get fearsomely intelligent, mentally sorted, emotionally literate / mature people in that situation but as you must know, many singers are prone to all kinds of narcissistic and emotional problems

she went in the house because she was desperate for money due to her gambling addiction and is about to lose her home

in the stanford prison experiment the vounteers were all tested and found to be emotionally stable before being put in a stressful environment where the vast majority of those who were given power abused it in the most awful ways and bullied the 'subordinates' mercillessly. Even the psychologists who organised the experiment ended up getting drawn into behaving sadistically and being bullies.

Jo looks like she's having some kind of breakdown and she would never have been accepted for the stamford experiement with her history of bulimia and addictions, yet people act like she's a terrible person for behaving in a bad way on CBB.

the fact is that most people act in terrible ways when under terrible stress.

I'm not saying that her racism is OK, it's not, but I think that the mechanism by which people blame her for being racist while not looking at their own shit is the same mechanism by which racism happens, that's to say it's an emotional defense mechanism where we project the disowned aspects of our own self onto others and attack them.

Do you think everything can be explained from a psychology textbook?
 
Jo is an easy target, compared to Jade and Danielle.

Jade's got an expensive PR, and money, whilst Danielle could cause problems if she got her boyfriend to stump up solicitors fees - Jo is on the verge of bankruptcy.

And guess who got a trip to Mumbai on expenses courtesy of the Sunday Mirror to meet Shilpa's mum??

That's right - Nikhita Mahajan, who did a gushing interview with the Shettys at their home.

http://www.sundaymirror.co.uk/news/...objectid=18508215&siteid=62484-name_page.html

No bias there then?

If Jo O'Meara does top herself, I see this Mahajan idiot and Grant Hodgson as just as culpable as Endemol/Channel 4.

She could have quoted War and Peace and they would have made it sound like Mein Kampf if they felt like it.

I think that is spot on, easiest target by far.

of course not
I don't have a book here with me right now, but obviously an understanding of psychology can help to understand what happened and what is continuing to happen
 
I wonder if the Sunday Mirror have illegally purchased copies of Jo O'Meara's phone bill yet?

Remember the Rio Ferdinand story, where they had "evidence" about what time he phoned in to prove he lied over the drug test?

Zoe Ball's "affair" with the DJ Dan Peppe?

All they did was buy copies of their mobile phone bills.

It wasn't her husband Zoe was phoning ... it was Dan Peppe, evidence of an affair according to them, then all they had to do was stalk her with a long lens.

Fucking scum.
 
gambling addiction?!?

This is just ugly :(

Didn't she say that she wasn't tryign to revive her career (which of course may or may not be true, but i've herad no mention of a single).

clearly she should not have been accepted as a candiate to begin with; that of course presumes there is some shred of responiblility on the behalf of the show's 'psychologists'.

They let it get to this situation deliberately, and have given no hint to Jo the depth of public feeling until now, unlike Jade who was warned, nay briefed, an hour before her interview.

I have zero sympathy for Jade - this is a link to her 'pity me' interview - but what is really interesting is the commentary on it afterwards - it starts about half way through. It highlights the way that Jade was protected [as opposed to Jo and Danielle] by C4 - and ends with rating her apology 'performance' 0 out of 10.

Jade was briefed - don't forget her spin off shows (and those of Chantelle for the record) were Endemol Productions.

I wonder how that briefing went?

"OK Jade, you're fucked, but if you badmouth Endemol we'll take all your money and kidnap your kids".

Hopelessly addicted to fruit machines, she pissed away thousands on them.

well let's hope it doesn't come to suicide as someone else alluded. That would be one hell of a grim watershed for reality tv (and a real tragedy).

get her off the tv and into care.
 
"Jo O'Meara, singer, 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant and fruit machine punter

"My back's not too good, so gambling is all I can do. I come as much as I can, quite a few times each week. It's my only release and it's an outlet for me.

"I play on the fruit machine that pays out a £500 jackpot. I've already won the £500 prize nine times. I think I've just about broken even.""

http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/features/article2157983.ece

Sounds like she is quite good at playing the fruit.
 
What does she mean gambling is all she can do?

How good does your back need to be to sing?

If it's strong enough to play a fruity she must be able to sing? She can swear can't she.. it didn;t seize up with all that rocking on gmtv..

fuckwit

That's such a weird quote (if accurate), I wasn't aware of Jo's little fruit machine addiction. Anyway:

a) "I think I've just about broken even" = "I'm ten grand in the hole and sinking fast" as any fule kno. Who breaks even on fruit machines ffs?

b) If her back's so bad that gambling's the only thing she can do then zooming around the CBB obstacle course probably wasn't a wise move.

c) If Jo was a proper gambler she would have known that going in as 5-1 fave would be a great opportunity for a mate on the outside to work on her behalf, lay her on the exchanges and make a fortune when her vile personality was revealed (hey, it worked for Big Mac a few series ago). Amateur. :cool:

John McCririck, the horse pundit guy with the hat, was on CBB a few years back. Definitely had a scam going to be as obnoxious as possible and get evicted first (although my memory is poor on this one - I think the plan backfired and the voters kept him in for another week). Good idea anyway...
 
PK, since nobody else is picking you up on calling Jade and Jackiey White Trash, and mocking Jackiey's disability (her "wibbly arm"), on top of calling her a "fucking pikey" etc, can I just say you're way out of order.

Not that I expect it'll make any difference, because you're so clever you can cut through the crap and say it 'like it is'. You alone have the intelligence to mock disabilities and call people "fucking pikey"; others are too stupid to do so.
 
Jo is supposed to be performing at GAY this Saturday, they have got a poll on their web site to see if she should or not.
