Do you feel sorry for Jo after the interview she had on GMTV this morning? and related posts (merged)
 

I watched it this morning. Much as I dislike Jo, it was uncomfortable viewing. She is like a broken person, and I don't believe that she was faking it. She didn't say sorry - she said that she believed that she did not bully Shilpa - and the death of her agent was not mentioned.

Her behaviour in the house was disgraceful, but there's no pleasure in seeing anyone in the state that Jo is in. And the people who have been sending death threats are a disgrace.

Do you feel sorry for Jo after the interview she had on GMTV this morning?
 

I felt sorry for Jo because Danielle and Jade said more stuff racist than Jo so why aint Danielle getting upset like Jade and Jo . Jo is very very in a bad condition and I can see that it is not fake and she is being serious and also her agent died 2 days after leaving the house which is also difficult and she went into the house because her house is being taken away from her which aint nice and she was in sooo much tears please just forgive Jo , Jade and Danielle Just leave them alone I think that's what everyone should do because I bet some people around are racist too and they don't know that they are.....

I don't feel sorry for her at all, Danielle and Jade seemed sorry for what happend, Jo said that she wasn't sorry for anything and she would do it all again.

She bought it all on herself IMO.

Missed the interview, but I do agree, people should lay off Jo now, she wasn't the main instigator in any of the arguments, and to be treated like this by the public is taking it a little far. BB's over now, obviously people wont see her in the same light as the 'bubbly S club singer' but she's still a person with feelings, and from what I saw of her in the house, she seemed like a average Joe to me (pardon the pun) so I don't think she deserves any of this hate she's recieving, I'm sure people have done, and would do far worse if they were put in her position (not everyone, but i'm sure many would) She deserves to get on with her life, and put all this behind her. On the other hand, she knew what she was doing when she went on BB, so she should have been aware of what she was saying, and how the public might percieve her, so it's her own fault really. I'd never go on BB for the simple reason that I know i'm not perfect, I have bad traits aswell as good, but it seems the publics judgement is a little harsh sometimes.I just wouldnt put myself in that position.
Well, what's done is done, she'll just have to get on with it, and hope for the best.

umm actually that article in the paper about she refused to say sorry was miss quoted she even said herself on Gmtv but obviously u missed it u beileve everything u read coz I Don't i do actaully feel sorry for Jo she don't deserve more than danielle, What's happened to Danielle nothing yet Jo has been crying and shaking and jade has been uspet but i bet danielle still has her home and all her posetions maybe apart frm boyfriend.

I have no sympathy for her whatsoever
She's brought it all on herself
At least Danielle and jade regret everything the said and said sorry

"Is that why Indians are so thin, becuase they don't cook their food properly"- No that isn't racist at all is it:rolleyes:

Jo just seemed to be to be your everyday bitch to me. But paired with Jade and Danielle she should understand how it can become like bullying, and she should apologize for offending the public and Shilpa atleast. I don't know why but Jade brought out the worst in Danielle and Jo(not that this excuses them), and I think if Jade had not entered CBB it would have been an entirely different show.

I haven't seen any of Jo's interviews thought so couldn't comment on whether she is being genuine or not but either way none of them deserve death threats.

Jo's racist, she's a horrible person, she's a bully. She brought it all on herself. Even her Indian relative says she was out of order. And after it all she keeps saying that she didn't do anything wrong in her eyes. She should wake up - is she saying she's right as opposed to the countless people who disagree? Don't think we'll be seeing any more of her. And a good thing too, this should all be put to rest.

BUT saying all that, I did feel sorry for her simply because I don't like seeing people in that state. I think even Shilpa, being such a lovely person, would feel sorry for her seeing her in such a mess.

Jo knew what she was going into.

I believe she is sorry and she has said in a round about way but she was paid to go in and knew what could happen in the house. She behaved in the way she did..... right or wrong she cant pin all of this on Big Brother

I can't believe she's still not apologising. How does she think this is going to end? She's got to apologise even if, deep down, she thinks she did nothing wrong. As I stated in another post. She's can't live in a bubble and she's got to reintegrate into society at some point. How does she think people are going to react when they see her out and about. I genuinely fear for her safety.

I have no sympathy for Danielle, shes a liar and shes dumb, Jo and Jade are very upset and in a state, Danielle doesnt even care she just says what her agents tell her to say.

umm can i exclusively say that the thing in the papers saying that she aint sorry is wrong becuase she said they miss quoted her thats what they always do and plus she said she would give shilpa a hug and that and she is very sorry

did any of you actually watch the interview? She said she was MISQUOTED and she even said she didnt mean anything bad by it:rolleyes:

Yes, I watched the interview, and it made for very uncomfortable viewing. As I said before, I don't think her behaviour in the house is excusable, BUT I don't think any of them deserve to have the entire lives ruined.

Jo would do herself a lot of favours if she apologised. During the interview, she did not apologise and said that she did not think she had bullied Shilpa.

I can easily believe that the Mirror interview misquoted her. Newspapers do that. She would have been better to not give any interviews to them papers at all. Let's not forget that the Mirror is Carole Malone's paper.

That article stinks to high hell. She says she was 'completely misquoted'. Who's she kidding. It's the I'm misunderstood defense - My comments were taken out of context, I'm a vitim of editing - Didn't she say that Shilpa aggravated on Friday?? The friday interview seems more like she was herself.

Is it on youtube yet?

do you have a heart, no?

I have a heart but, the interview on Friday chilled my blood. No joke. I did not like what I saw and I never ever thought that she was like that. She was totally unrepentant, no remorse, nothing. She even implied that Shilpa deserved it. She's saying the right things now but the damage has been done and she got a lot to do to repair it.

right ok, your opinon. I just cant help thinking that danielle has been let off. Jo and Jade seme to be getting it harder

I think this morning was a reality check for those death threats. Jo is obviously sorry for what she has done, and although the word isn't projected from her mouth, there is a certain state of mind that promotes that word.

Jo's state this morning on GMTV was almost unbearable to watch, me as a Jo fan almost weapt a little myself, but when you're a fan for so long, and your "idol" is crushed so badly [IMO by her own doing, with Dani and Jade], it upsets you.

I've forgiven Jo, you might feel I'm biased in opinion, I just believe people deserve a 2nd chance, we're human after all.

I think you're right. Danielle does seem to be getting away with it. I can't help thinking its because she doesn't have the hateful qualities of the other two.

I want Jo to get over this and come back but even if she does there will always be that doubt in my mind.

Why did people send her death threats? ridiculous!

Just watched it and she looks in a bad way. On the verge of a breakdown maybe. The pressure of this must be huge on her. It's about time we took the spotlight off this and got on with it. To receive death threats over this is disgusting. Those people doing that are a lot worse than her.

We've already seen Jo have panic attacks in the house, so she clearly is not able to handle the bad karma that comes with treating people so appallingly.

Although its her own fault, I think the media should leave Jo alone as much as possible, shes not very strong and doesnt need the extra pressure added to her guilt from the show and the loss of her agent.

I've just had a chance to watch this and have to apologise for my rough treatment of Jo. She's looked like she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown. So different to Friday. She should spend time with her family.

If Jo would have the courage to admit she was wrong and the courtesy to apologise then maybe people would be willing to forgive and forget her behaviour.
Until then though people will see this interview and think she is just a bullying thug getting her just desserts.

NO sympathy whatsover until she shows remorse.She can cry all she wants and talk about death threats etc,but she shows no remorse.

I thought she did make a bit of an apology in the interview?

"I regret if I've caused offense. I didn't mean to" It's kind of non apology type of apology.

I mean,until she take responsibility and admite her bullying was wrong,not some half arsed "i didnt do anything wrong but ill say i hope i didnt offend anyone" "sorry"

"JO O'MEARA claims she has had “death threats” because of the Celebrity Big Brother racist bullying row.

She also says that being on the show has “ruined my life.”

There are now fears for the singer’s mental health. Fiona Phillips who interviewed her said: “She’s afraid of mirrors, TV and people. She has developed all sorts of phobias. It was upsetting to see."

"I just want to say to everyone, that if I did offend anybody in anyway, I never meant it at all.” "




SOUNDS BAD!

"I feel that BB had a TV show to make and they have to d what they can to make good viewing and unfortunately I felt like I was a guinea pig."

An incredibly lucid thought for someone who appears to be losing her mind. Watching the interview I can't help sympathise but when I simply read the transcripts it doesn't seem quite so genuine.

As for the Deaf Frets, have the police issued anything confirming them?

JO is a racist, a thug, bully, hater, conniving character and all things evil. How can she be forgiven I think NOT. She knew she was in the public eye from day one and too see her ugly side played out on TV what the point of forgiving when she doesn't even admits to ones own mistakes? If one don't have the guts to own up to guilt, that the bliss of pure evil playing the joker.

Not admitting to guilt is support of racism, bullying... We must be the fools in the box if she thinks she right.

If she not a bully or racist she wouldn't do it in the first place. NOW THAT IS FACT!

I don't think she is right in what she did, but she doesn't deserve this treatment. Noone does.

Nobody like people getting hurt. But you have to live up to your consequences and ignoring the facts doesn't make things better for everyone.

I don't think anybody has ignored the facts as they have been pretty much in the limelight for the past couple of weeks. How long are we gonna keep it up for. 1 month? 1 year? Maybe some good can come out of this all, but let's not single out and persecute people along the way. Is that not a form of bullying? In some ways, we are being just as bad ourselves.

Speak for yourself. I havnt bullied anyone nor sent any death threats nor claimed to hate anyone.

If you are being broken by this campaign for sympathy and forgiveness, then that is your own concern.

Personally, my stance on all the bullies is just to insist their removal from popular culture media outlets. I dont want them invading my conscious at unexpected moments, they have comprehensively forfeited all their rights to being worshipped or 'celebrated'.

jo did apologise on GMTV today and said she was sorry if she upset or offended anyone, she was misquoted in the sunday paper.

this whole thing is totally out of hand. she hasn't murdered anyone. no one deserves this treatment, it is worse than Shilpa ever got!

I would've hated to go through what Shilpa did in that house, have so many things said behind my back and after all that still forgive and move on.
But saying all that I feel that what Jo's going through should be put at rest now because she needs time to recover instead of being constantly probed by the media at the moment.
