I watched the interview and all those clips this morning.
And the fact is, of course what Jo did was wrong, nobody's denying that - but at the same time it was really distressing to watch her during the interview, and I think we should leave it and move on now. Shilpa herself has forgiven her and wouldn't really want to see her in this state, and she even mentioned before she didn't want to leave England with people in trouble etc. People can say what they like; that Jo brought it on herself, all that, which yes I do agree with but seeing people in such a mess is really upsetting. She won't be in the limelight anymore anyway and I think people should leave it and let Jo concentrate on rebuilding her life for now.

Tearful Jo: BB ruined my life
by PAUL ARMSTRONG - Tuesday, January 30, 2007


Big Brother contestant Jo O'Meara broke down on TV today claiming her life is in ruins after she was portrayed as a racist bully.

In a tearful interview on GMTV she claimed she has been unable to return to her Essex home because she has received death threats.

The former S-Club singer told GMTV's Fiona Phillips that her behaviour towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty - and comment that Indians are skinny because they don't cook their food properly - were "taken out of context".

I was a guinea pig. It's ruined my life.

"I just feel that Big Brother had a TV show to make and they have to do what they can to make good viewing and unfortunately I was a guinea pig. It's ruined my life," she said.

"I don't think I bullied Shilpa, I really don't. I have got feelings and I make mistakes sometimes. Everybody makes mistakes but just not everybody does it on TV."

O'Meara - whose attempt at a solo career flopped last year - said she only took part in Celebrity Big Brother because her house was under threat of repossession and she needed the cash.

"I did it to try and save my house," she said.

Phillips cut the interview short, telling O'Meara: "You really do need to get some help. You look like a broken woman."

Meanwhile, the Duchess of York has weighed into the Celebrity Big Brother debate by declaring her support for Jo.

A spokeswoman for the Duchess telephoned GMTV after seeing O'Meara interviewed on the show - saying she felt sympathy for her because she "knows what it is like to be vilified".

Presenter Fiona Phillips told viewers: "Sarah the Duchess is watching this morning. She is very upset by the Jo interview.

"She says she knows what it is like to be vilified and misrepresented and has a lot of sympathy for Jo."

When i watched shilpa being bullied i felt bad as i believe bullying is WRONG and no human should make another human feel low, unwanted and detested.

When i watched the Jo interview i felt is was real, it much more reality then i have seen from Jade and Danielle who are milking the situation with press interviews and newspaper deals.

Jo has been out for a while and has only done one interview and in that interview she was REALLY distruaght.

Like i did with Shilpa, I feel sympathy for Jo for the SAME reason "no human should make another human feel low, unwanted and detested".

Two wrongs dont make a right!

Stop harping on about death threats. She didnt even get any.

Anyone not feeling sympathy for Jo after watching that has to have a heart of stone. http://www.cheesebuerger.de/images/s...aurig/c040.gif

And YES, I feel she's been treated dreadfully. It's no act ...... she's in pieces. :sad:

Wrong. Sympathy is for the guilty.

Chrizzle 30-01-2007 09:32 PM

Watching the interview is heartbreaking.Thats all genuine,I think anyone who doesn't think so needs a reality checl.

This womans life has been ruined, all for some childish bitching and arguements, and 'racist'comments which SO werent racist.

Kaz 30-01-2007 09:35 PM

Dictionary definition of 'sympathy':

Quote:

The fact or power of sharing the feelings of another, esp. in sorrow or trouble; fellow feeling, compassion, or commiseration.

or

Capacity to share in the feelings of others, especially their distress, sorrow, or unfulfilled desires.
I definitely feel compassion for Jo at the moment, and the obvious distress that she is in. Very sad.

Its not heartbreaking to me. Ive been through worse things and so have many other people. Its her guilt that has got her so distressed.

Think again who needs the reality check.

`Sorry seems to be the hardest word`

`Sorry if I offended anyone`, is not an apology in my book. It implies that Shilpa shouldn`t be offended but sorry if she was.She knows very well that her words and actions were offensive and she should say as much.
Jo hasn`t worked out yet that making an apology would be as good for her well being as it would for Shilpa`s.

Having said that,it is still awful to see her suffer so much, and any serious personal animosity against her is pushing things way too far.
Danielle will move forwards far quicker because of her own actions to put things right. Jo must clear the air and not be so determined to prove she hasn`t done anything wrong and that it is merely editing and unfair.
Do the decent thing Jo, and all will be OK in a few weeks......She could even do the Jermaine song sometime and let her natural talent overide the burden she will otherwise carry for a long time.

Well anyway us forgiving her wont change anything anyway so POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

DooDoolove 30-01-2007 11:47 PM

where can i see it?

abs 31-01-2007 02:15 AM

i read the 1st 2 pages & that was enough.

people have very short memories. this is the same female (& i use that term loosely) that said she would like to see dirk crack.

after the oxo arguement "i really enjoyed that. that made my day..."

if that made her day, then how can she be nervous when conflict is infront of her? so many people are gullible. listen, if you dont want to get into trouble, keep your trap shut & behave yourself!!! its all about respect, & she didnt show any in the house, so why the hell will she be respected once shes out the house? there are people out there who will go to extremes. these people are very few. they obviously took the bullying to heart, & they feel they should do something. of course they shouldnt, but at the same time you got to remember that if you are a celeb (or a non celeb) & you say stupid things, expect stupid treatment back! likewise look at shilpa, the complete opposite to jade, danielle & jo. she handled herself with dignity, & the public at large are showing her respect at the way she handled the intire situation.

DooDoolove 31-01-2007 04:22 AM

Lets be real.
No "celebrity" is actually going to come out and say "YEAH I MEANT IT, I HATE INDIANS"

She bought it all on herself IMO.
yeah I agree with you, I don't feel sorry for Jo one bit, she deserves what she's getting

sarahtheangel 31-01-2007 08:05 AM

i have watched the ckip yes its hard viewing she may loose her home im not sure wether shes sorry for the way she treated shilpa or wether shes upset as her live is now ruined . my view yes shes done wrong but she does not deserve death threats or to loose her home .

While I empathise with Jo on her treatment after leaving the house, but do not condone her behaviour whilst in there, the possibility of losing her home has got nothing to do with it. She has no money because she frittered it all away. She needs to get a job to pay for it, or move somewhere less expensive! Mind you, now she's got all that money from doing CBB, I am sure she will be ok in that department.. Does anybody know what her fee was?

I agree. She needs to pick her word more carefully.

The bit where she says that BB had a programme to make etc. It's almost as if she saying that she was stitched up but she know why. It's an amazingly clear thought for someone who is apparently going out of her mind.

dont worry grit & hit man, those very few of us that actually have common sense & dont put emotion before common sense, can actually see the bigger picture! leave the simpletons be...

qoute from the hit man...

There was a bear and a scorpion on the side of a river and the scorpion said to the bear, "please Mr. bear, give me a ride on your back across the river. I cant swim". The bear replied "No!! Youre a scorpion! Youll sting me, and ill die, and Ill drown".
"Dont be so stupid!!" cried the scorpion. Why would I do that? If I were to sting you, you'd drown, and Id drown too". The bear thought about it and came to the conclusion that it would be stupid for the scorpion to sting him, and so he agreed. So, the scorpion climbed on the bears back, and when they were halfway across the river, the scorpion stung the bear. In his last dying breath, the bear said "I cant believe it, why did you sting me?" To which the scorpion replied, "well, Im a scorpion, its just in my nature." And they both drowned.

Sarah just accept it that death threats are unacceptable.

We all know theyre unacceptable.

To even mention death threats, you are giving them recognition and respecting them as part of the situation, which in my book means you consider them acceptable in the right situation.

The death threats are deplorable, but I don't think they can be taken too seriously. Didn't David Beckham get death threats after the world cup in 98 and Ronaldo after last years world cup? There are always idiots claiming that they're going to do this that and the other.

The thing that I don't like about Jo is the failure to take any responsibility for her actions. Claiming she was misrepresented is despicable. Cleo, Dirk, Jermaine and Ian all talked about the bullying in their interviews with Davina. If they saw it then how can she blame it on biased editing?

I've no sympathy for her. None what so ever.
