Slum kids hurt in Jade stunt
From todays currant bun:
A STUNT to win over the people of India backfired on Jade Goody yesterday when women were knocked flying and children trampled underfoot in a Delhi slum.
Jade, 25 — who hit headlines last month for abusing Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty during TV’s Celebrity Big Brother (oh please get over it and stop filling up your columns with this crap. I am sure everybody is aware by now!) — visited an impoverished area of the Indian capital to be photographed with penniless kids.
She spent 45 minutes inside the Railway Project — a scheme to help orphans forced to scavenge for a living beside train tracks.
But no provisions were made for around 50 children not invited into the small hut, adorned with a poster saying “Welcome Zad Goddy”.
A crush formed as they were left outside in sweltering 30°C temperatures in the Mayapouri district.
Mum Anu, 26, was knocked to the ground with her three-month-old tot. She said: “My baby is hurt — who is this awful person?
“She is not welcome here if she is going to behave like this.”
Despite insisting it was a private visit (yeah right!), Jade was in India with Shilpa’s former agent Jazz Barton and a TV presenter who works for Jade’s management company.
Jade finally emerged, seemingly unfazed by the chaos. She stepped smiling into her car to return to her luxury hotel — as angry locals banged on the vehicle’s windows.
Mum-of-two Jade later pledged to donate all her Big Brother earnings to charities for Indian kids.
She told a news conference at her swish hotel: “I was an underprivileged child, but nothing like the children I’ve met today.”
Jade, whose row with Shilpa sparked fury in India, added: “I’m so sorry for the hurt and pain my actions caused.”
This woman causes carnage wherever she goes!
