If Jo would have the courage to admit she was wrong and the courtesy to apologise then maybe people would be willing to forgive and forget her behaviour.
Until then though people will see this interview and think she is just a bullying thug getting her just desserts.

[Psylocke]

NO sympathy whatsover until she shows remorse.She can cry all she wants and talk about death threats etc,but she shows no remorse.

[Mrluvaluva]

I thought she did make a bit of an apology in the interview?

[GiRTh]

"I regret if I've caused offense. I didn't mean to" It's kind of non apology type of apology.

[Psylocke]

I mean,until she take responsibility and admite her bullying was wrong,not some half arsed "i didnt do anything wrong but ill say i hope i didnt offend anyone" "sorry"

[Mrluvaluva]

"JO O'MEARA claims she has had “death threats” because of the Celebrity Big Brother racist bullying row.

She also says that being on the show has “ruined my life.”

There are now fears for the singer’s mental health. Fiona Phillips who interviewed her said: “She’s afraid of mirrors, TV and people. She has developed all sorts of phobias. It was upsetting to see."

"I just want to say to everyone, that if I did offend anybody in anyway, I never meant it at all.” "




SOUNDS BAD!

[GiRTh]

"I feel that BB had a TV show to make and they have to d what they can to make good viewing and unfortunately I felt like I was a guinea pig."

An incredibly lucid thought for someone who appears to be losing her mind. Watching the interview I can't help sympathise but when I simply read the transcripts it doesn't seem quite so genuine.

As for the Deaf Frets, have the police issued anything confirming them?

[shinystar]

JO is a racist, a thug, bully, hater, conniving character and all things evil. How can she be forgiven I think NOT. She knew she was in the public eye from day one and too see her ugly side played out on TV what the point of forgiving when she doesn't even admits to ones own mistakes? If one don't have the guts to own up to guilt, that the bliss of pure evil playing the joker.

Not admitting to guilt is support of racism, bullying... We must be the fools in the box if she thinks she right.

[shinystar]

If she not a bully or racist she wouldn't do it in the first place. NOW THAT IS FACT!

[Mrluvaluva]

I don't think she is right in what she did, but she doesn't deserve this treatment. Noone does.

[shinystar]

Nobody like people getting hurt. But you have to live up to your consequences and ignoring the facts doesn't make things better for everyone.

[Mrluvaluva]

I don't think anybody has ignored the facts as they have been pretty much in the limelight for the past couple of weeks. How long are we gonna keep it up for. 1 month? 1 year? Maybe some good can come out of this all, but let's not single out and persecute people along the way. Is that not a form of bullying? In some ways, we are being just as bad ourselves.

Speak for yourself. I havnt bullied anyone nor sent any death threats nor claimed to hate anyone.

If you are being broken by this campaign for sympathy and forgiveness, then that is your own concern.

Personally, my stance on all the bullies is just to insist their removal from popular culture media outlets. I dont want them invading my conscious at unexpected moments, they have comprehensively forfeited all their rights to being worshipped or 'celebrated'.

jo did apologise on GMTV today and said she was sorry if she upset or offended anyone, she was misquoted in the sunday paper.

this whole thing is totally out of hand. she hasn't murdered anyone. no one deserves this treatment, it is worse than Shilpa ever got!

[Bells]

I would've hated to go through what Shilpa did in that house, have so many things said behind my back and after all that still forgive and move on.
But saying all that I feel that what Jo's going through should be put at rest now because she needs time to recover instead of being constantly probed by the media at the moment.

What are you actually talking about? "THIS TREATMENT"

What treatment are you talking about? No-ones given her 10 lashings with a whip!!! No-ones taken all her family hostage and demand she apologise!!!

APPARENTLY Jos had 'death threats'......so does that mean the entire country is responsible for these death threats??

NO. WE DONT CONDONE DEATH THREATS.

The small contingent of idiots who send death threats are not even part of the debate. They are imbeciles. Stop treating it like its normal behaviour that is part of the debate, practically the WHOLE COUNTRY would dismiss death threats as unacceptable.

I am speaking for myself. I am voicing my opinion, just as you are entitled to voice yours.

[gemmalou]

I only saw the last bit of the interview but in those few minutes i truely felt sorry for her. I was a big fan of her in s club 7 and seeing her treated like this is a horrible thing to watch because i was a big fan of hers

It was quite uncorfatable to watch because she was so so upset and must be under so much pressure. She doesn't deserve to be treated the way she is being treated.

I feel really sorry for her. You could tell in her interview that she was sorry so everyone should just leave her alone and give her time to get her life back on track.

[Psylocke]

Im gonna say to Jo what i think of all 3 of the sphinter squad.
dissapear and never appear on magazines or tv again.easy,people will leave you alone.

Maybe they would like to, but feel some obligation to be interviewed and answer the questions the public want to hear answers on. It's better than running away and burying your head in the sand. And I admire a person for doing that. Jo has to get through this, but doesn't seem that strong a person. Imagine not being able to go out, or walk down the road, for fear of abuse or persecution. I know what she did was not right, but it wasn't as bad as this.

I agree with both of you, but I get the feeling they're going to haunt us for some time to come.

Apparently, Jade gave the money she had earned from BB to charity, including the fee she was paid to do it. Jo refuses to, as she is desperate and scared, and basically stands to lose everything - the money, the house, her career etc. She stands to lose the most.

Poor old Jo she's up Sh*t street. It's quite ironic. She's got to keep the money to keep the house but if she keeps the money she'll get even more criticism. Between a rock and a hard place. No wonder she's cracking up.

[Emilee]

It wasn't right when she said "I am not sorry for what i did" and "I would do it all the same again". She didnt deserve all of this though, Shilpa has forgave them so, so should everyone else.
