Is this a PR Stunt?

I Hate this Women now
because she wants Big Brother Closed Down.

She needs a New Manager.

[Sophii3x]

Why is she starving herself?
Yes, I'm going through a similar thing, but not on purpose.

If it's true

[Mrluvaluva]

BIG Brother bully Jo O’Meara was on suicide watch last night amid fears she is starving herself to death.

The former S Club babe, who claims the show’s race row wrecked her life, is refusing to eat and is being pumped full of prescription drugs.

Family members claim she is having a nervous breakdown because her stint on the Channel 4 show has ruined her life and they are keeping a suicide watch on her.

A pal said: “Jo’s got everyone worried because she’s stopped eating. She doesn’t go outside as she thinks everyone hates her.

“And because she’s talked about suicide, she can’t be left alone.”

The 27-year-old star became a hate target after fans accused her of making racist jibes against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, 31.

Viewers were stunned when she claimed all Indians were thin because they undercooked their food and ate with their hands.

They were also horrified how she just laughed when the actress was abused by Jade Goody, 25.

After her eviction, where Jo was booed by the crowds, she caused more outrage by refusing to say sorry. Within hours she discovered she had become one of the most hated people in the UK.

She has also been quizzed by police after complaints from viewers that she and others allegedly made racist comments.

Her depression was worsened by the death of her agent Tony Fox, who died of a heart attack two days after her eviction.

She fears the stress that her stint on the show put him under may have led to the cardiac arrest. Jo has now checked into a secret hotel because she is too terrified to go back to her Essex home.

Medics have advised her family that someone should stay with her all the time.

The pal added: “She’s very, very fragile. She’s having a breakdown.

“She’s still very tearful and is shaking and rocking a lot. We are in contact with Jo’s doctors on a daily basis.

“They felt they had no choice but to increase her pills.

“If it helps her get through the day a bit easier then that’s a good thing. But to make matters worse she’s stopped eating.

“There are some days she doesn’t even get up and get dressed.

“The doctors have said it’s the worst case they’ve ever seen of someone so badly affected by their appearance on a TV show.”

The pal said: “Our main priority is getting Jo back to a condition where she feels she can go home.

“The irony is that she said she wanted to do Big Brother because she thought it looked fun and she would get enough money to stop her home being repossessed.

“But it’s turned out to be the worst decision of her life.”

A Channel 4 spokeswoman said last night: “Housemates’ welfare is our first priority.

“A robust aftercare system is in place to ensure all housemates are fully supported and advised after they leave the show.”

She really shouldn't take it like that. She should just do what Danielle did and get away from Britain for a while.

[GiRTh]

If she wants to starve herself then so be it.

[BB-Rocks]

I really do feel sorry for her. yes, she did things that were wrong, but knowone deserves al this. I hope Jo gets better soon.

[Mrluvaluva]

She must be in a terrible way. Hope she gets through this.

[Chrizzle]

Oh dear

I hope shes alright, and pulls through this! Shes strong. I'm behind her!

That's a bit cynical. I can't see them making this up, and if it's a PR stunt then it would be sick.

[Mrluvaluva]

Such a stark contrast between Danielle & Jo (see thread "pictures of Danielle & Ian on night out". Danielle going on nights out after a holiday, while Jo is near suicidal and on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Do you not think the media should show some support to Jo, and put everything in the past, to try and help her through this?

Jo is just making it worse for herselkf

But she is obviously very ill. I don't think she can do much about that by herself.

The press might well be able to support Jo,but I think her problem is one of not clearing the air properly, and at the very least saying that she realises she's not behaved well and is sorry.
Whilst in denial she will sense that she has been victimised and that will certainly make her feel the way she does now. We all know how much better we feel after making an apology, and even tho Jade's was fake we did see the relief on her face after she apologised to Shilpa in Nowhere.
If Jo wanted to stand up and be counted the media would be fighting for the full story.

I thought she apologised in her statement? I know she hasn't done it herself in a television interview, but I hardly think she is up for tv appearances at the moment.

well after havin met Jo afew times, i know the type of person she is...she's someone that gets really down if anyone says something negative so this is her way of dealing with it - she's not as strong as Danielle and hasn't been able to do the same as what she did. She also didn't contact the paper about this, the papers contacted a friend of hers who spoke about it. so techinacally Jo isn't doing the whole papers stuff for PR - she wud want it to be forgotten about.

I'm sure she does! The whole thing seems to have died down a lot though now.

^ How is it that the media knows of her un-wellness. Who told them? If one is really ill and wants to recover would it not be better to do so with out the privvy eyes of cameras and flashbulbs in your face?

If she is really under-going this, then I feel sorry for her, and wish her a speedy recovery.
Thats said,you can't not forget she put herself in this position. When she came out of the house, she should have apologised, it would have played things down in her own favour, had she done so.

Please refer to Lornas' post.

[spacebandit]

You have to wonder at the hypocrisy on display here :

Anything bad in her life she brought on herself.

Now the pretend starving story...
real personal trauma doesn't find itself in the papers,
PR trauma does


What next full blown suicide watch ?

Maybe rapists and and murderers should give up eating for a while ... watch the synpathy come flooding in from apologists for the coven.


Nothing says I'm sorry for what I did quite like buggering off to the sun, getting a tan and flogging the pictures off to the mags - see thats where Jo went wrong

[Mrluvaluva]

She is on suicide watch. And we only get to hear of her plight, and not "real personal trauma", as she is a "celebrity" (of sorts).
I don't think it's lies, or PR trauma, as you put it. She is a real person, with a family, and friends, and people who love her. I wouldn't wish this on my own worst enemy.

yeah
her family and/or representatives are so concerned that they took the time out to go to the Star ?.



The story is so obviously planted I can smell its perfume from here,
I strongly even suspect a whiff of BS in there as the whole thing is a made up PR stunt.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion, but I don't agree. Jo has not been splashed accross the tabloids daily, and as Lorna states, the press got the story out of a friend of hers.

[Ruth*Star]

I think they are taking this out of context. i don't think she would be the typa of person to starve herself. i do feel sorry for her if shes genually going though this.

She seems quite a weak person though. If she is depressed, then she won't be bothered about anything to do with herself, or anyone else. She will just give up. She won't wanna eat, or even get out of bed, and the press report states this is what is happening.
