From The Star:

JO O’Meara is to pen an explosive book lifting the lid on the Celebrity Big Brother race row.

The singer, who has been suicidal after becoming a hate target, is being chased by publishers for the warts-and-all story.

And Jo, 27, could net a whopping £250,000 deal to help her clear her mounting debts and stop her home being repossessed.

A close pal said: “Jo wants to move on with her life and she feels the only way she can put this nightmare behind her is by telling all.

“So she’s got herself a literary agent and she plans a full and frank account of life inside the house and how badly she’s been treated since she came out.”

The former S Club star plans to tell all about her friendships with Danielle Lloyd, 23, and Jade Goody, 25, and why Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty got up their noses.

Jo will claim that housemates like Jade’s mum Jackiey Budden, 48, uttered comments about Shilpa, 31, that were far more offensive than anything she ever said – yet she bore the brunt of abuse from fans.

She will expose how Jade was “tipped off” about the BB race row in hush-hush diary room chats.

And she will reveal how footage of infamous Oxo Cube row was edited to make her nervous laughter look as if she was laughing at Shilpa.

She will also disclose the “Witches of Elstree’s” taunts and jibes against Shilpa were not racist rants but schoolgirl bully antics that they are now deeply ashamed of.

Jo’s book will also give details about the death threats which pushed her to the brink and reveal how she feels abandoned by BB’s producers and thinks they have “washed their hands” of her now that the show is over.

Jo’s pal said: “She thinks a book will be a good form of therapy to get it all out of her system.

“Channel 4 probably won’t like what she has to say. But they used her like a puppet on the show and now she feels it’s time to hit back.”

Jo signed for the Channel 4 show because she was in financial trouble after her solo pop career and her dog breeding business had not taken off in the way she had hoped.

It's about time they all started slicing each other up in the press. Good one ya' Jo.

I want to hear about how Jade was 'Tipped off' about the race row. Like we didn't already know!?

The papers got it wrong.

Jo O'Meara has put the record straight on GMTV

It was the first she heard of it??


You can always have a dream about it though!

As this story in the papers is untrue.

Jo O'Meara said this on GMTV today, she's hardly going to lie to Fiona Phillips, is she?

So, if you are waiting to see some more Jade negativity, then you can dream about this book, which the media say is going to happen. But the facts from Jo O'Meara's mouth say the opposite.

I believe Jo & I believe in Jade okay!!

Had to lauigh at that no sorry LOL at that.

If the book comes out then it will confirm what everbody, except you, already suspects.

[Red Moon]

Amazing how a out and out bullies henchwoman can believe she make money out of money out of the mess she caused in the Big Brother house. The woman is clearly suffering from delusions if she think anyone would really be that interested to buy her drivel.

If she really has footage that will clear her name why doesn't she put it on the net. Clearly this footage is just another of her part her delusions, a figment of her over active imagination.

It more than likely she has made the whole thing up to help out of her financial troubles.

This woman needs a rest in a very special hospital for a while, until she gets better.

Her interview on GMTV clears up the Daily Mirror story.

Jo was none-the-wiser regarding the book.

Endemol have the tapes. Jo has memories of what she saw and heard in the Big Brother house and that's it.

Well, she could quite easily be the one who puts the last nail in the coffin of Jade and Dannielles "careers" by spilling the beans, especially if she can back it up. Maybe she has someone within Endemol who has slipped her copies of unedited raw footage.... if so ...... bring it on, get paid and go away.

The implications from any book, naming and shaming a particular house-mate is very dodgy and could cause other court cases to follow.

If there is going to be a book or programme done, it should be about the editing and how things can be perceived to look worse, when they are not.

Jo is hardly going to start that off.

[MarkWaldorf]

I think Jo confirmed on GMTV it wasn't real.

I doubt she'd do that anyway, it's the last thing she needs to do.

[andybigbro]

Yeah i can rember she said something a bout a book

Did she confirm it wasnt real?

[MarkWaldorf]

Yesh Andy, on GMTV.

I saw the GMTV interview between Fiona & Jo and Jo said that it was a surprise to her and the first she's heard of it.

[Matt08]

I think the main reason Jo is in this mess is down to the Big Brother producers, they've unfairly edited the tapes which makes it look as though Jo, Danielle and Jade were bullying Jade. Maybe they did say a few nasty things but I think the way the footage has been edited has made things look worse than they actually were. Also I think it's really horrible how the producers have abandoned Jo. Luckily there's new producers for BB8 and hopefully they will do a much better job than the old ones.

That is a true observation and Jo O'Meara must now move on from this and try to get a better life and leave this nightmare behind.

I wasn't aware that Big Brother 8 is having new producers?

Maybe it is a political decision and a profit-making one too?

[nannaR]

i liked danielle and jo but could never stand jade. the whole thing to me was blown up out of nothing, jade was the only bully because she had the biggest mouth and could never leave anything to die down. i am glad dani and now jo seem to be getting on with their lives and wish them all the best, and as for jade and jack i wouldnt mind never seeing either of them again. she should get back and raise her kids out of the lime light.

Not sure how you feel about to so confidently say that this is a "true" observation? does that mean that those of us who dont buy into the poor editing thing are making "untrue" observations?

Truth is subjective to some and a stranger to others, like pick and mix without raspberry ruffles - flawed.

Hi Sunny,

Sadly, we won't agree on everything.

I personally believe this is the truth. I can see how editing can make things appear worse than it already is. It is like a Jigsaw with many pieces missing. A donkey could look like a shark?

Many will look at Jo O'Meara's comments and especially her nasty stares at Shilpa and even Jo's demeanor in general and make judgements from that.

What I did, is listen very carefully to what Jo has said in videoed footage and in interviews.

She complained quite strongly about the editing and was extremely upset about the way the Big Brother show had zoned in on a very nasty Jo O'Meara, and missed out, a lot of the nice footage.

If you don't buy into the poor editing thing, then, certain people who have accepted this critisism, may also, welcome critisism that the shows editing wasn't making Jo O'Meara look worse.

If Jo has made it clear that she is unhappy and can talk about her better side, during the show, then, there maybe witnesses, (Other Housemates) that could vouch for her.

But, would they? Jo O'Meara is not the kind of person that many people want to associate with right now. Maybe other Housemates may keep quiet?

All the best, nodisharmony

[Sunny_01]

To be honest I am not in the least bit bothered about editing or have any firm opinions about it. I dont have enough hours in the day to closely watch footage nor do I have the inclination!

I have no problem with Jo - she is I feel a victim of the BB Machine. Roll em out and dump em is what happens with HMs.

The issue I had was with your "wording" you may have opinions but to state them the way you did was implying that those of us who feel differently were wrong

Hi Sunny,

It is nice to know that many people are not bothered about editing. This is to be expected!!

" No surprises ", would be the response, from Camp-Jade or from Jo or Danielle either.

I would say that Endemol would be even happier and thank those who are not bothered about editing.

(Edit On) "so the non-carers say"

If the Crime Scene Investigation, (C.S.I) for short. Had the opinion, "hours in the day" & "Inclination", they wouldn't solve their cases. We watch C.S.I on the TV and get amazed how the solve the investigations by studying the evidence closely.

What we actually have in front of us, is,three girls:- Jade Goody & Jo O'Meara & Danielle Lloyd.

It is quite obvious to even children, that, they were looking forward to a great show in CBB Jan. I watched the show and saw this for myself.

What has happened after the show, is what this nightmare is all about. The girls are dealing with the "fall-out". We both know what those two words-together mean, even in another circumstance!!

This fall-out was caused by the argument and the treatment of Shilpa Shetty, (an Indian Bollywood actress), by the three girl's who have been labelled (Bullies).

This word, (Bullies) was labelled to all three girls, because they stuck together and created a division in the BB house. All the nasty offensive words and sentances from all three girls, Jo, Jade & Danielle were targeted at Shilpa, in front of her and behind her back. This is there for all to see, here in England and also in India and other countries too.

There was a furore and when Gordon Brown was in India, it was very apparent that this was going to be massive headline news.

The judgements which got made were about the footage shown. This is known as (edited-footage), the parts which Endemol's editors decided were worth showing.

If Jermaine was talking to Shilpa for 55 minutes about something his wife has done three weeks ago, it is a personal conversation between the two of them. These personal conversations are not the kind of viewing which is going to create good ratings. Not juicy and exciting enough for the kind of viewers who watch the show. They tend to want fireworks and disagreements.

Anyway, as I was saying about this possible Jermaine/Shilpa conversation, (just a friendly one.) Along the way, during this discussion, "Jackiey", (Jade's mum), may have come up during that conversation? Maybe about 23 minutes during the conversation? Shilpa may have made a nasty comment? Like, "Thank god my mother's not like Jade's mother! She is just horrible!! Then, Jermaine may have said something back? during this little conversation, Jo, Jade or even Danielle may have heard this and caused the hatred of Shilpa to get worse? or even, had started it?

If a show chooses to "edit", then, we can easily assume that something like that could have happened?

When it comes to editing, the results which follow the edited-out footage, can make things look much worse to people. (Subsequently, many people get offended!!) Which is what happened.

It is like picking quotes from a post on a forum, then adding another quote, then adding another quote. Before you know it, someone's opinion of what is being written can cause other people to have clouded judgements!! Things can be taken out of context.

It is important to see the whole picture, without pieces being taken away. Sadly, with Big Brother, they have to edit out so much footage, because a day is 24 hours and the show can only stick less than an hour off shown footage, naturally picking out the juicy stuff.

Many of the viewing public have been fooled.

Jade Goody could easily get angry on this show, because, she had a problem with Shilpa, which built up over the time.

Jo & Danielle, also had a problem with Shilpa, and when you get three housemates, all thinking the same thing, it is very hard to mend this. The personal dislike of someone is just the way it is. You can't force the girls to like Shilpa, they just didn't.

In any argument, or behind that persons back, people say stuff.

I have the TV programme "Loose Women" on at the moment, and they are making their opinions of certain people, celebrities, situations very clear to all of us watching. Girl's gossip and Girl's say stuff. You can't change that! But what we saw, was made to look worse, by editing. Pieceing together, all the comments, nasty stares and frowns, everything imaginable, to make the viewing public see and believe that they were really that bad! They just didn't click! That is it!! Get over it!!
______________________________________________

We then get to this, "Roll-em out and dump-em" comment.

This is a double-edge-sword comment, really!

It is easy to do what you say. A housemate is in the BB house, they will agree to terms and conditions and shall have to tolerate the editing and also, they shall have to put up with the housemates. Also, if their behavior is bad, then they are responsable for the arftermath, when they get out.

This is very true!

BUT, What happened in CBB Jan. Is very different.

This has caused much concern, as, The girl's footage which was shown and not edited out, was not just labelled as "Bullying", but, it was labelled as "Racism". This is the (R) word which has seperated ALL other BB shows and made this one so bad.

A company like Endemol, with their editors for BB have responsablities.

They have the responsability to have mature and intelligent editors. The kind who can recognize racism, when it is plainly obvious that people could have been offended by these remarks.

All the stuff could easily have been edited out. Which would have been the responsable thing to do. The editors are the moderators for the BB show and also have to take the blame for putting ratings and money above this.

Getting back to my "double-edge-sword" comment!

This is where the girl's have their say and also, the right to fight back. It is their right and if they, or their advisors choose to sue or make comments about possible edited out material. Then, you can't blame them.

Also, you can't blame any of the girl's from either, making interviews, going on the TV or even popping to India, either.

This is (Damage) which needs repairing.

Offended people need to be convinced further.
_______________________________________________

Those of you, who say that my opinion of what your opinions are, regarding this subject

Is the same as saying that Jo O'Meara is generally a nice person, but others would say that she is a racist bully and that is it.

Hense, "that opinion doesn't coincide with another's opinion."

People disagree and state their points in their own way. Many times, very strongly indeed.

I have had many of my posts critisized and shall naturally pick holes in other people's reasons, whether constructive or pathetic.

All the best, nodisharmony

Nodis, would you agree that editing can make people look better as well as worse than they actually are?

That's debatable...

Sometimes, it can depend on past history?

Many don't like Jo O'Meara right now. Also, many didn't like her before CBB Jan.

If you don't like someone from before, then YOU definately don't like them now. I think that is very clear.
