How do you know she hasn't said sorry? She could of said that to Shilpa...because its her who matters in this not the public. You can see that Jo is on the verge of a breakdown and THAT is not good to see..the show is over...Shilpa has said she forgives them so people need to calm down and back off.

NO, they knew what they were getting into and its no good them saying things were taken out of context, because the name calling is all recorded.

The c-list ex royals are now getting in on the action!

"THE Duchess of York has weighed into the Celebrity Big Brother row by declaring her backing for Jo O’Meara.

A spokeswoman for the Duchess rang GMTV this morning after seeing Jo weeping as she was interviewed by Fiona Phillips.

Fiona told viewers: “Sarah, the Duchess of York is watching this morning. She is very upset by the Jo interview.

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

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."

Well you don't have to be a part of it if you don't like it. CHANGE the record!

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.
