Ally, looking back at what Pete and George said about Jodie, which I thought was out of line at the time, has been proved to be true. Jodie is a wicked, scheming, manipulative bitch.
Rather than settling differences and moving on with her life, it seems Jodie is hellbent on revenge and conducting a hate campaign by using her influence with the tabloids and magazines to attack people, who have no chance to reply, in a very cruel way - far worse than anything Pete or George said, which was relatively mild in comparison (and where at least she had the chance to give her say). Even poor Rula doesn't escape a verbal lashing. But leaving them aside, what she has been saying about Barrymore has been truly horrid and indefensible.

What I detest is the way that, whether she realises it or not, Jodie is exploiting Stuart Lubbock's death for her own ends. To her, it is a weapon with which she bashes Michael. Did she ever show any sympathy or sorrow over his death before she decided that she hated Michael? Of course not - it wasn't useful to her then. Does she honestly think it's pleasant or helpful to Stuart Lubbock's family to hear her make reference to the way he died in such sordid fashion? She has the gall to call herself a friend of that family - yet she is less forgiving of Michael than Stuart Lubbock's father Tony, who seems to have made his peace with Michael now. If only Jodie had shown a shred of the dignity that Tony Lubbock has shown.
Jodie needs to realise that the world does not revolve around her. The death of a young man should not be a weapon for her to attack someone with. Using that to hurt Michael makes her no better than the bullies who she condemns, and frankly makes a mockery of her supporting an anti-bullying campaign.
With regard to her comments about hoping that Pete gets eaten by twelve gorillas, I imagine that we should not take these comments too literally - although you can never be sure where Jodie is concerned. She'd have a long wait in any event, as - as Charlotte pointed out - gorillas are vegetarian...a fact with Jodie seems to be completely ignorant of. In fact, given her tirade against Pete's coat, and the fact that she appeared to care so deeply about it, she displays an amazing lack of knowledge on the subject. I would not be happy with her if I worked for PETA - she is embarrasing them with her lack of knowledge (surely they expect people who campaign for them to know something about their subject).
Jodie's comments are spiteful and vindictive. She said that she went into the BB house to change the public's perception of her. When she came out, she said that she had not changed their perception, but I think she's wrong. Most people I know think she is far worse than they had ever imagined. She certainly has achieved her wish of showing us the real Jodie. Trouble is, the real Jodie is not a very nice person.

Beautifully put. I agree completely.
