Nadia: "Big Brother has ruined my life"

[M X]

Nadia has revealed that she is feeling "completely distraught" following her eviction on Friday and claimed that returning to the show has ruined her life.

The Big Brother 5 winner told the Daily Star Sunday that she has suffered abuse from the public since leaving the house and accused show bosses of misleading viewers in their handling of Coolio's exit.

"I want to end it all. I just feel my life isn't worth living any more," she said. "I can't carry on living the way I feel. I'm in the gutter and I'm completely distraught. Going back on Big Brother has ruined my life. I was the victim in that house but I was shown to be the villain.

"I'm just gutted. I hate my life so much right now and sometimes ending it all is the only solution. I'm at the lowest point I've ever been so I'm surrounding myself with friends and family and hoping God will be there for me.

"I was already in a vulnerable place and this has thrown me overboard. When this mess is over I just don't know what I'll do. I'm losing it. I'm emotional. This is the last thing I need in my life.

"My car has had eggs thrown all over it and I've had horrible notes sent to me, calling me a bitch. I've had to start avoiding people and stop answering calls. I don't know how much more I can take. I feel betrayed by Channel 4. There was no loyalty from them, no duty of care. They failed to protect me.

"Coolio targeted me on the first night and he wouldn't leave me alone. He kept asking about my gender status and he humiliated me over it. If it had been a racial slur they would have shown it but because it was against a transsexual they edited it out. They made it look like I wanted to leave over a pair of shoes but the truth is I was being bullied.

"I had a panic attack but that was left out as well. I'm going to speak to Ofcom and I want a public apology from Big Brother over this. I will be contacting lawyers and solicitors because I want to take things further. I was lured onto the show with them saying it would be a celebration. But after this I don't want to represent Big Brother any more.

"I don't feel safe to go out. I feel frightened. Big Brother discarded me. This has destroyed me. I was the nation's sweetheart and people embraced me. But now I'm the villain."

Defending comments she made to Josie about her relationship with John James, she added: "I stand by what I said. John James did treat her unfairly and he isn't genuine. She is such a lovely girl and she deserves someone better."

stupid selfish arsehole is making it worse for herself

[Omen]

It's only a gameshow.

[Talulabelle]

I wondered at the time why they said coolio had left by 'mutual consent' I'd never heard that used before so it was clear there was more to what happened.

if what nadia says is true then she certainly wouldnt have received as many votes as she did, I would say most people (including me) thought she was totally overreacting to things.

Maybe not, it seems.

[Niamh.]

I think she's just annoyed because people don't love her anymore. I thought her treatment of Ulrika was un acceptable and un fair but Nadias problem is she will never admit she was the one at fault for anything

[Beastie]

Well she might as well do the "magazine deals" get some money out of it all.

She needs like a month holiday away though.. somewhere secluded.. with no media getting in the way!! Once she is back.. the public would have forgotten about her.

I do agree that the BB producers are biased twats though but we ALL KNOW BB are biased twats and will bum their favourites in a better light (Ulrika) or miss out the controversial bits so that they don't get OFCOM complaints (Coolio). But yet.. they show all of Nadia's ranting and twist the editing of "Poor Ulrika" being the victim. Disgusting. 2 sides to every story......

[Beastie]

Nadia was not innocent. She did deserve to get booed.. but BB have given Coolio and Ulrika an easy ride.

Ulrika deserves to get AT LEAST the same amount of boo's as Nadia when she gets out or even worse but BB are so far up her arse.. I don't why.. she is a boring old hag!!

[Talulabelle]

I think she's just annoyed because people don't love her anymore. I thought her treatment of Ulrika was un acceptable and un fair ....

I totally agree that plategate was ridiculous, its not like ulrika had them eating off the broken plate ffs, it was off to one side and no danger to anyone. However, this coolio thing has made me wonder just how much was kept from us.

[Niamh.]

Nadia was not innocent. She did deserve to get booed.. but BB have given Coolio and Ulrika an easy ride.

Ulrika deserves to get AT LEAST the same amount of boo's as Nadia when she gets out or even worse but BB are so far up her arse.. I don't why.. she is a boring old hag!!

Yes I agree but Nadia believes that she should be above all this. I do find her rude and argumentative and intimidating, she may have gotten a bias edit but if she had never acted in the manner she had they couldn't have edited her badly

[M X]

if what nadia says is true then she certainly wouldnt have received as many votes as she did, I would say most people (including me) thought she was totally overreacting to things.

Well we don't know what has been kept from us. Coolio may have been terrible to her, but it's been edited out so that BB don't get complaints again.

[brian3]

If you spend a long time with everyone telling you how great you are. Then any sort of negative behiviour towards you worse than it is.

She has been spoiled for the last few years with everyone praising her. She just got a bit of reality

[rosebay11]

I don't know why they brought Coolio back in the first place. He truly was obnoxious first time round.

[Beastie]

Yes I agree but Nadia believes that she should be above all this. I do find her rude and argumentative and intimidating, she may have gotten a bias edit but if she had never acted in the manner she had they couldn't have edited her badly

True. Like I said Niamh.. after her "magazine deals". Well Nadia explaining her side of the story which she deserves.. she should get away out of the country for a month or something. It is not good for her being in the media spotlight. It is a shame for her.. winning 6 years ago and coming out disliked.. not hated.. I would just say.. "disliked". She did have her rants and that!! But erm.. don't think I found her intimidating.. she didn't really have a rant up to anyone's faces.. she was just walking around having a "rant".

Anyway this will all be forgotten about by next month. It is nothing like what Jade Goody went through....

Anyway like I said.. Nadia just needs a holiday.. to get away and have NO contact with the media.

Amen.

[seanraff07]

FFS if there was a chance of it affecting her that badly she wouldn't have risked going back on it surely.

[Beastie]

True.. too big for her boots. She shouldn't take the boo's seriously. The public are fickle and would forget about Nadia by next month.....

[Beastie]

FFS if there was a chance of it affecting her that bad she wouldn't have risked going back on it surely.

She probably thought she would be loved again.. or.. it is only an 18 day show.. not much could go wrong?? and she did it for the money too? ahh well. Life goes on. lol

[rusticgal]

So.....when in a vulnerable state... go into the BB house!!!!
Having been there before you would have thought she was in the best position to know that was a bad decision....

Serves her right... she just wanted MORE fame and fortune...

[GiRTh]

She's not too distraught to sell her story to the papers though.

[Jack_]

Sorry, but Nadia doesn't deserve all this at all. I'm no fan of hers, but I cannot believe some people's comments. Have you read about Coolio's treatment of her? I find it disgusting, and even more disgusting that it wasn't shown. It probably would've portrayed her in a totally different light. Her moaning/shouting/being nasty was probably as a result of the emotional distraught she suffered from being intimidated and broken down by Coolio. It seems some people on here don't understand how being a transexual can affect you psychologically. Nadia has now been portrayed as someone that can't take a joke, someone that overreacts and moans - which [after finding out about the Coolio stuff] seems not the case.

Totally unfair, and I am no big fan of hers.

I agree with you.

The public are booing Nadia and giving her more nasty comments than what she deserves because of the biased editing.

That is Big Brother for you though....

Nadia and "her friend" Marco.. should take a holiday. Maybe she will next week..

[Beastie]

Thing is.. I dislike Coolio and Ulrika more than Nadia and I find it SICKENING BB are given them an easy ride........

[Harry!]

The Jade Goody effect really did happen. Going back in the house a second time can leave you for the worse. I feel sorry for Nadia as I did for Jade.

[Raph]

Poor Nadia :( Coolio is an utter twat. I'm really disappointed in Channel 4 for not being honest in what happened.

[Beastie]

The Jade Goody effect really did happen. Going back in the house a second time can leave you for the worse. I feel sorry for Nadia as I did for Jade.

Yeah.. Danielle and Jo got an easy ride.. well Danielle definately did after that racism row where Jade was left to pick up the pieces.

This is the same with Nadia.... Nadia left to pick up the pieces while Coolio and Ulrika for their behaviour get away scot free..

[flamingGalah!]

It was obvious that Coolio had been making transphobic comments to Nadia & of course Big Brother edited this out. I feel Nadia has been portrayed badly & I can understand why she is so upset with the BB producers...

But the thing that is really sad is the pathetic JJJ fans slagging her off for saying what most sane minded people are thinking... And egging her car, FFS some people need to bloody grow up & realise that Nadia is a human being, not a panto villain to slag off for their entertainment... People need to get over it seriously.

[SFGiantsfan]

Transexuals have a lot of issues that's a fact.

[_Seth]

I'm on Nadia's side.

[Harry!]

Yeah.. Danielle and Jo got an easy ride.. well Danielle definately did after that racism row where Jade was left to pick up the pieces.

This is the same with Nadia.... Nadia left to pick up the pieces while Coolio and Ulrika for their behaviour get away scot free..

Jo was in the same state as Nadia was, She got her house egged and went into depression. She was on the verge of suicide.

[fuzzylovin]

If i had known there was more to the coolio story i wouldnt have disliked her so much, i just thought she was over reacting about the shoes.

I wish bb had shown the other side and the things coolio had said, instead of laying it all on her.

[Shasown]

"I don't feel safe to go out. I feel frightened. Big Brother discarded me. This has destroyed me. I was the nation's sweetheart and people embraced me. But now I'm the villain."



Really, when was that?

Is there any low this woman wont sink to in order to excuse her excessive temper and violent outbursts? Its always everyone else's fault never Nadia's that she needs anger management therapy.

[MassiveTruck]

She's unbelievably vocal for somebody in an emotional and vulnerable state.

[Patrick]

It's Only A Charade Nadia!

[Beastie]

Jo was in the same state as Nadia was, She got her house egged and went into depression. She was on the verge of suicide.

Poor Jo.. However what Jo did was worse than what Nadia did.

However I am just pissed off at the fact that the BB producers bum Coolio and Ulrika..... they are let off scot free!!

Plth!!!!!!

[Chuckyegg]

What a load of crap lies from the chav press. Go on....suck it all up. Get out there and swipe those grotty bullsht comics from the shelves.......you fkn love it dontcha?

[Barbie]

more went on than we were shown, this is proved by Coolio leaving by "mutal consent"

Since when has anyone been kicked out or in their words "mutually left" after hiding something caused a row!?

[Shiner]

I got as far as.... The Big Brother 5 winner told the Daily Star Sunday that ... then came to my senses.

I suggest you all do the same too. :)

[yousoboo!]

talentless and bitter

[stonedape]

She's overly dramatic now, but I do think BB edited the Coolio and Josie situations to encourage the "shock eviction" of a BB legend we all know they wanted.

[Chuckyegg]

I got as far as.... ... then came to my senses.

I suggest you all do the same too. :)

This place is crawling with Daily Star readers. Which wouldn't be so bad if some of them had even a slight inclination that it may not exactly be the truth. Do people really think that Nadia has given an exclusive interview with every singly tabloid paper in the land since Friday night?

No.

[erichardse10]

I read her interview, part of me actually felt sorry for her,she was so much loved when she won a few years ago, and now shes pretty much disliked!

My own take on the Nadia of now is of a character whos very unstable and has got some problems which she needs to go away and deal with.

Her opting to go on Big Brother was the wrong decision, in my opinion, shes clearily got something wrong which needs addressing.

On her sueing Channel 4? they have this canny habit of editing the show and you could argue that they do this because they have their favourites, however I would think she hasn't got a leg to stand on. Channel 4 will duck and dive and find get away with it!

I hope Nadia in the long term is okay!, I hope she can find a happy place in her life agaiN!

[arista]

It's only a gameshow.


Yes but it seems Nadia was not Fit in her mind
to go on this.

She can not handle booo's

[arista]

Nick just pointed out it takes One day
for the Crowd outside to hate you
he pointed out Nadia.

[Shardlake]

Big Brother made her the public face 'celebrity' that she is

and Big Brother has broken her

quite a fitting ending to the show imo

[brian3]

What BB are guilty of is building Nadia up too much the first time around.

[mkdfan]

THIS IS ALL LIES PEOPLE!

Look who is writing it, the Daily Lies!

Like Nadia is gonna spill the beans to them.

I think she is a bit upset but not suicidal.

[M X]

FFS if there was a chance of it affecting her that badly she wouldn't have risked going back on it surely.

The psychiatrist who evaluates the housemates before hand, needs to be put in a mental hostpital. He has made so many f!ck ups in the past (Shabhaz, Alexandra) now Nadia.

[M X]

THIS IS ALL LIES PEOPLE!

If it is was, Marco from BB5 who is one of her best friends wrote on DigitalSpy that she is suicidal.

[CaudleHalbard]

Nadia was depressed. She thought going into the UBB house would cheer her up - she expected the same adulation as she got when she won BB5.

It didn't happen. Largely because she behaved like an argumentative arsehole. Only partly because of the Coolio issue.... she could have gained sympathy.

So she's even more depressed now. Nothing some anti-depressants and a trip back to Madeira wouldn't cure! ;)

[Beso]

she's gone, who cares. Not me.

[cheapbbfan]

I feel bad for her :(

[MrWong]

She's unbelievably vocal for somebody in an emotional and vulnerable state.

People stop talking when in an emotional and vunerable state? Hmmm.

Besides, The Star always claims an exclusive every Sunday when infact it's snippets taken from the press conference that all hm's have to do when given the boot.

Some info might even have been taken from the post by Marco Sabba on digispy.

[moghirl]

She's not too distraught to sell her story to the papers though.

Exactly !

If she was still in the house, hoping to win, she'd still be just as opinionated and obnoxious .. the look of shock on her face said she was expecting to win .. the truth hurt and hit her like a ton of bricks ..

Get over yourself Nads :xyxwave:

[AndyJK]

"Nation's sweetheart?!" Hello?! I couldn't stand her in BB5, and I cant stand her now!

Before playing the victim card Nadia, I suggest you take a long hard look in the mirror and examine your own faults before criticising others.

[CaudleHalbard]

If Nadia thinks she was the Nation's Sweetheart, she really does need psychotherapy! :joker::joker:

[Jackie]

Why the hell did she go back in now shes blaming bb for ruining her life.

[Boneatron]

Nadia who??

:xyxwave:

[hannahsgotchya]

It's only a gameshow.

exactly.

woaah is she serious! ending her life! my days what has the world come too!

[Melanie20]

BB didn't ruin her life it made her what she became a spoilt overrated diva who thought she'd win hands down. Now she is throwing the mother of all tantrums because she hasn't got her way. People who are threatening suicide don't normally go and sell their story, they just get on with it.

[BLORN]

coul

[camertone]

nadia
is
just
pissed
off
because
she
did
not
win.

[Sunday]

So.....when in a vulnerable state... go into the BB house!!!!
Having been there before you would have thought she was in the best position to know that was a bad decision....

Serves her right... she just wanted MORE fame and fortune...

Agree with this,

She is a spoilt brat who is mad and surprised she got evicted. She thought she would win again.
Ulrika is not my favourite person but hated the way Nadia had a go at her over the broken plate after Ulrika had cooked dinner for them all.
Spoilt arrogant and to far up her own backside.

Totally agree with this - she thought she had it in the bag and is now playing the victim card - I'm glad she's gone.

I have to agree with this.

[stewart64]

That's what you get for messing with BB's choice of winner, Josie was untouchable in the house (helped by the JJJJ thugs) and is untouchable now she is out.

HMs beware Brain has been appointed winner of UBB, don't mess with him, don't post against him on this forum, unless you want to come out of it like Nadia. you have been warned.

Who wins...Big Brother decides.

Do not mess with HMs who never come up for eviction... Brian hasn't in one and a half series, Josie didn't either. Save your ire for BB's least favourites... he loves bully fests against Cozza, Nadia , Makosi and co.

Brian was my favourite before it even started so I can safely say that it was my choice not BB:hugesmile:

[Livia]

Nadia's WHOLE life is a freakin' drama. She wasn't so desperately upset she wasn't able to give the tabloids an interview. By saying BB ruined her life she is biting the hand that has fed her all this time. Who the hell would she be without BB? Some anonymous transsexual, who's whole freakin' life is a drama - but no one knows her and no one cares.

[stewart64]

Brian was my favourite before it even started so I can safely say that it was my choice not BB:hugesmile:

Yep, I have got to give Brian a break. He seems to have the popularity thing sewn up with the public too, him and Josie share 50% of the vote on this forums best winner ever poll.

Would sooner one of the outsiders came through though to make the show less predictable, it was such an anti-climax BB11 after a good series following the quad eviction.

Yeah, I can understand that but I just adore Brian, I find him highly entertaining, on UBB, when he was in BB2 and on any other show I've seen him in. So, predictable or not he would be my choice as Ultimate BB HM.

[MrWong]

They talk to the Star when they're in a vulnerable and emotional state?

Like i already said... The hm's are required to do a press conference the night they are evicted. Then quotes from the press conference are used and called an 'exclusive' even though it isn't an 'exclusive' at all.

The Star could even have taken quotes from Marco's post on DigiSpy.

[M X]

Team Almada!
haha.
