Jodie Marsh - Lest we forget, Jodie Marsh was not Bullied on BB and Why was Jodie Marsh's Bullying "Okay" [merged]

[Mrluvaluva]

Has everybodys' minds been erased to the bullying on last years CBB? Let me remind you:

Jodie Marsh, the ex-Celebrity Big Brother contestant who says she was bullied, has offered advice to Shilpa Shetty in an exclusive Sky News Online interview.

Marsh suffered a tough time on the series last year - and it took her six months to get over it.

The model was relentlessly attacked by TV host Michael Barrymore and Respect MP George Galloway on the show.

She told Sky News Online: "My advice to Shilpa would be go back to India and be with the people who love you, really love you, your friends and family.

"The bottom line is that you don't have to see those people again, they are idiots."


Marsh broke down in tears several times last year as she suffered an assault on two fronts from Barrymore and Galloway.

She said the worst thing was that there was no where to hide in the Big Brother house.

"Shilpa will be depressed and terrified at the moment and hating every minute of it," Marsh said.

"But she will be putting on a brave face, laughing and smiling.

"I really feel for her at the moment. It was probably the most difficult job I had to do.

"I just could not get away from it. I begged Big Brother to leave but they just told me to stay away from them.

"So I stayed in the bedroom and they just followed me in there."

Jodie in the bullying campaign She continued: "What's happening to Shilpa is exactly what happened to me.

"They formed a gang and they try and make you feel like you are going insane.

"Then they tell you you are insane for not seeing that!"

Marsh, who went on to star in an anti-bullying campaign, thought the ordeal would end when she left the house.

But it was only just beginning.

"They voted Michael Barrymore as the runner-up," Marsh said.

"I couldn't believe it. They voted Michael Barrymore second when everyone had watched him bully me for the last week on TV.

"My first thought was that I just hate Britain - I hated Britons. The country is really screwed in the head. How could they do that?"

Marsh's recovery was hindered by the fact she had been badly bullied at school - the house bullying was a "really hard blow".

She said: "Shilpa has not got that so hopefully she can come out of this more stable."

And I seem to remeber Pete Burns being part of the bullying gang. So why when it happens to an Indian woman is it racist? I only find Jackiey to be th racist one but there was no uproar then. Also if Jack did call her a **** then he is a prick!

Didn't you watch the show:rolleyes:

[Donkeylegs]

They were out of ordetr to jodie and now to Shilpa.

Difference between these two is that SHilpa is handling it with dignity, so she is branded an underdog to win it.

I am sick about jodie poxy marsh and what she has to say Who Cares !!!

[The_Hitman]

The way Jodie behaved on that show disgusting.

The first few days involved everybody trying to get through to Jodie about how she was offending them but she carried on regardless. By the time people got nasty with her, she deserved it.

[Psylocke]

Jodie wasnt bullied to the extent of shilpa,aswell Jodie almost put herself out there to rise people,with her disgracefull sex talk etc etc.
it was wrong tho,and i did complain,as did i when pete verbally attacked traci.

BUT this big brother,with people complaining,is due to the build up of the last 4 years BB letting bullies away with it (Nadia and Aishleyne were also bullied and verbally attacted to an extent)

Its not just because of shilpa,this is BB getting fired for there policies on bullying.

[The_Hitman]

I dont get why Pete was bullying Traci.

Although I wanted to comfort Traci and was on her side, I thought Pete was just airing some grievances. I thought it was fair game.

[Dracula]

Someone who is bullied is picked on all the time.

Jodie marsh was not picked on all the time on bb.

Jodie marsh is just a argumentative person.

[Mrluvaluva]

And as I remeber, Aisleyne could be a bit of a bitch herself. And then there was Grace.

Yeah, i think i may have been a bit in love with Aisleyne, but the girl gave almost as good as she got. And didnt get half as much as what Shilpas getting.

[Foebane100]

Jodie Marsh was not bullied they got fed up with her constant attacks and bad mouthing about Jordan, which were edited out for legal reasons. So Jordan couldn’t sue BB basically.

I heard that from,Chantelle,George,Pete,Preston and Michael that she was being utterly urrerly horrible about jordan pete and her kids,Really really bad stuff came from her mouth,and when its about kids thats bad.

[Dan_]

Jodie brought much of it on herself and it just ended up in arguments rather than direct bullying and bitching behind her back.

[sungirl]

its crazy to compare jodie n shilpa ... shilpa is dignified ... jodie was useless n vile

[Mrluvaluva]

It is not my intent to compare people, but highlight that there has been numerous incidents of bullying in the house before.

I take it that if you support Shilpa so blatently you're probably one that complains about Shilpa being bullied. So what happenned to an anti-bullying stance no matter who was being bullied? Do they have to be 'dignified' and is bullying only bad if the person is a good person? Hypocritical if you ask me.

[Mrluvaluva]

Well said Edwin!

[xGemmax]

Jodie was not bullied, she brought everything on herself, she was vile and argumentative. Shilpa has done nothing wrong, you cant compare them

[Mrluvaluva]

Does anybody deserve to be bullied? I am no fan of Jodie but it constituted bullying in my book. But everyones entitled to their opinion. I just think this whole Shilpa thing has been blown out of proportion. If she were white, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. Although I do think Jackiey was the most offensive one calling her "the indian".

[Sunny_01]

but is calling her "the indian" offensive in Jackieys eyes, after all Shilpa is from India! she is so ignorant that she did not think that other people might find her words offensive. I said in an earlier thread that this is a bigger issue for those outside the house than it is to Shilpa, why dont people wait to see how she feels she has been treated!!!

[Mrluvaluva]

Ganging up on someone and having a go is bullying in my book. Don't get me wrong, I am no fan of Jodie, and think she is a stupid cow, but am merely trying to highlight past incidents that have gone on in the house. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and in mine, we would not be having this conversation if she were white. For me, Jackiey came out with the worst comments, referring to her as "the indian", but where was the furore then?

Ditto. If she really hates Britain and Britons so much why doesn't she just leave, get off our TVs and ***** herself elsewhere.
As for the comment about Jackiey being the only racist: Jo, Danielle and Jade have also made racist remarks

[Razmataz]

:whistle: And let me rephrase.

Jodie was vicitmised!

Nah. She wasnt.

[Slezer]

Jodie wasn't bullied as abd as Shilpa because Jodie wasn't in there as long as her.

[Edwin]

Something that has troubled me... why has Shilpa's bullying been treated so much more seriously than Jodie's from last year? It seems to me now that the word 'racist' has been thrown in everyone is jumping on the band wagon, the press have created this crock of **** and then the politicians have used it as an excuse to become more earnest, when they probably haven't watched any of it anyway. What I'm asking is whether bullying is "okay" because they "deserved it"?

[James]

I don't remember last year's well enough to say whether Jodie Marsh was bullied, but I remember Pete Burns viciously verbally-attacked Traci Bingham.

That was pretty bad also. Also Shabhaz's treatment in BB7, although he was clearly unsuited to being on Big Brother, which mitigates it I suppose a little.

[Slezer]

Shbhaz was doing wrong in the first place. He gave as good as he got.

[Sunny_01]

I think that to compare the 2 shows is madness. Shilpa has not done anything provacative to deserve the treatment she is getting. Jodie however became a victim of her own small minded behaviour. Yes she was bullied but only following terrible bullying by herself, not saying that it is right it is just a fact. Look at the way she tried to rally the house to ignore Pete, now that is victimisation!

Shilpa is handling the whole dreadful situation well and should be pretty proud of herself when she finally leaves the house.

You could argue that Shilpa was in the wrong anyway. But my point is, just because someone "brought it on therself" does it suddenly mean that bullying is justified? That's pathetic.

[Mrluvaluva]

NOBODY deserves to be bullied for whatever reason. And by bullying, I mean constantly berating someone, or many people ganging up on them at once.
