Jo O\'Meara\'s Agent Dies From Heart Attack (press report) and Has Big Brother claimed its first death (merged)
 
Quote:

Jo O’ Meara is said to be devastated after the death of her agent yesterday.

Tony Fox (60) suffered a heart attack yesterday morning-two days after the former S- Club singer was evicted out of the Big Brother house.

The chain-smoking singer is said to be devastated at the loss and feels that she is partly to blame for his fatal heart attack.

O’Meara was embroiled in the Shilpa Shetty race row, which earned her a bad reputation out of the Big Brother house along with the inevitable demise of her career.

Jo is currently in a safe house after receiving death threats following her appearance on Big Brother.

poor fella, think of the stress he's been under the last month trying to smooth things over for that selfish bitch. wonder if she showed him as much respect for her elders as she did Dirk.........

See these childish selfish a*** holes parade around thinking they can treat people however they want because they live in a free country and they get protection from the good, but they forget about the people that they put stress on, that have to bear the brunt of the trouble they cause. What a terribly unfortunate event.

sadly it looks like Shilpa is doing the dirty on her uk agent to, read this over on digital spy but its quoted as coming from "the Indian times".....
"LONDON: Shilpa Shetty faces eviction from the Big Brother house on Friday along with four other nominated contestants, even as the British-Asian woman who served as her UK agent till now started a new controversy over the alleged money-grubbing tendencies of the actress's mother, off the back of the race controversy that hit the reality TV show.

Jasvir 'Jazz' Barton, Shetty's agent said mother Sunanda had ostensibly sacked her because "she wants to milk the controversy for money.

"She claimed Shetty's mother was likely to hurt her potentially glittering new UK career by trying to do deals for Shilpa "in an Indian fashion, which no one here understands."

Barton has claimed all along that she found Shetty a role in the current series of Celebrity Big Brother from amongst a host of Bollywood actors, "some of whom were bigger stars."She said Sunanda had "flown into London late on Wednesday for the ostensible reason that she needs to look after her daughter once she leaves the Big Brother house."

But Barton said she feared Sunanda had arrived in the UK mainly to "milk" Shetty's sudden celebrity fanciability, even as the Shilpa vs Jade Goody row continued to dominate coverage of the reality TV show.

Barton said Shetty's mother had unaccountably reneged on a "six-figure interview deal signed for Shilpa with a British tabloid newspaper only because she probably thinks she can get more money.

"Barton said she would be deeply unhappy if Sunanda appointed a white Briton to represent Shetty in the UK and worldwide because "I'm a British-Asian and have tried for eight years as a professional to put Bollywood on the map and get Indians the recognition they deserve."

Barton said she achieved this in spades with Shetty's entry into the Big Brother house but Sunanda may find the British media impossible to handle.

In a dark hint, sections of the British media may, piranha-like, be already preparing to turn on the Hindi film actress they have till now hailed as the epitome of beauty and dignity, Barton said she had been fielding repeated questions about Shetty and her family's alleged links to the underworld." interfering mother syndrome Shilpa?

It's been alleged that Shilpas family has ties to organised crime in India. If this article is true then those allegations suddenly seem much more believabel.

easypeasy 29-01-2007 11:22 AM

who'd be an agent eh? lol

S2 29-01-2007 11:38 AM

Actually the underworld in India is always threating Bollywood celebs and are always looking to extort money from them. That case against the Shettys' has been dropped.

I actually read that Jazz is still a part of Shilpas team in the UK.

Sunanda is not the type of mother to control and milk her daughters fame. If that was the caase, she would have been shouting from rooftops about the racism/bullying, but she didn't.
And as a mother cant she not fly down to be in the coutnry where her daughter is the centre of media frenzy? And another reason will be to keep abreast of the goings on in the house, because India doesn't get CBB nor as much news/newspaper footage as we have in the UK in regards to CBB

easypeasy 29-01-2007 11:44 AM

i thought the "law" and the "underworld" are virtually the same thing in India, heard of plenty of tales of corrupt cops demanding money from european traveller's under duress.

She, basically, put the whole thing down to the fact that she didn't 'get along' - her words not mine - with Shilpa. I sat there slack jawed. So in Jo's twisted world, if we don't 'get along' with some one then we're allowed to, basically, torture them. You're not wrong when you say she's not perfect. It sounded more like she's completely screwed up.

Up to a certain extent, she was stitched up becasue Davina was much more easy on both Jade and Danielle but that cannot excuse the bile that she was spouting.

Do you not fear for her safety? She can't live in a bubble and at some point she has to reintegrate into the cummunity. How do you think people will react when they see her out and about. I genuinely fear there may be reprisals unless she starts apologising.

Has Big Brother claimed its first death
 
Reported in the Sun Online

Tony dealt with all the flak while Jo was in the house and she is terrified that is what caused his heart attack.”
Have we crossed a line that should not have been crossed?

Lauren 29-01-2007 04:01 PM

Endemol cannot be blamed for this death. When Jo entered the house he was well aware of the implications of this.

Of course it's a very sad day, but there is no "blame" on this death.

RIP. :sad:

Psylocke 29-01-2007 04:01 PM

No,he had a heart attack,end off.its his hearts fault.

sticks,you really are a ray of sunshine LOL

Emilee 29-01-2007 04:03 PM

OMG! Thats so Sad! R.I.P :sad:

Sticks 29-01-2007 04:10 PM

Maybe why Jo was absent?

Or perhaps it was because she was a conniving, evil witch and she wasn't actually invited because of the crowd issues?

:tongue: We'll never know.

Ruth 29-01-2007 04:19 PM

Endemol cannot be blamed for the death, tragic though it is.

I think Jo was not there for the same reason that Jade and Jackiey weren't there, and why Danielle did not appear on BBBM.
