I dont know her kids but I suspect they will have been lined up for a ten year anniversary of her death tv program already. I doubt pride will be top of their thoughts when they see footage of people burning effigies of their mum do you?

Of course she had an agent, so! We saw her open, naive personality when she was originally on bb - before she had an agent! They may well have played up to that - but she wasn't exactly acting the part! If you want to blame anyone, blame the kids that bought all the magazines etc, probably a lot of members from this forum, they made her! She made the most of it - and built herself a very nice standard of living for her and her children! She took the only chance she was every likely to have - can't blame her for that!

Jade probably saved a lot of lives through 'marketing her death' - not exactly a bad thing! And as for those burning effigies of her - they were no better than they accused her of! Why should that affect the way her children see her. I don't think anyone would condone the way she behaved on celeb bb - but that shouldn't be the only measure of her!
