Big Brother’s Jade Goody Snaps
LIKE a trickle of last night’s kebab in curry jus on the mini cab’s velour cushion covers, Jade Goody is hard to shift.
The Sun features the Big Brother bigot and bully in its TV pages. In “JADE: I WANTED TO DIE AFTER BIG BROTHER”, readers lean of Jade’s post-Brother syndrome.
In conversation with Piers Morgan for the show You Can’t Fire Me I’m Famous, Jade says: “I had bad depression. I was on sleeping pills and on suicide watch.”
Depression is, of course, the celebrity sickness du jour. Many have it, the illness striking when their careers hit the wet patch, when the celebrity has been exposed as a talentless nasty piece of work.
To those non-celebs who are truly sick, depression is an illness, controllable, perhaps, but not always curable. To celebrities, depression is a handful of headache tablets and a bout of self-pity. Depression is hard-to-knot silk sheets with matching pillow cases and complementary robe in a reassuringly expensive private clinic.
“It’s the worst thing a mother can say, ‘There’s no hope’. But I snapped out of that quickly because I’ve got kids and they are my life,” says Jade.
Good that Jade snapped out of her depression and her suicidal tendencies. If only other depressives can copy Jade’s fine example and just snap out of it.
It’s so depressing…

If you don’t cut the mustard in any normal job you get the boot, so why should this sloth be any different?

Some points:
I am glad Jade is doing better and I don’t grudge her the money.
She has been made by the media and lots of others get a share of the money.
It seems to me that if the education system was better we would have fewer misguided souls like Jade. However she has made the most of her chances and has grown as a person.
It was unfortunate that BIG Brother did not take more control of a situation they helped create. Jade and others carried the can for having a lack of awareness and being themselves. Shilpa was too good to be true and certainly manipulating but credit to her for her education and awareness and grace.
We are too quick to condemn others I admire Jade for efforts and I think she has had a steep learning curve. She will come out of this a better person than her critics who find her an easy target.

After having major Post Natal Depression after the birth of my daughter 11 years ago, it progressed into clinical depression and when my pelvis split and I ended up in a wheelchair when pregnant with my 2nd daughter, 10 years ago, I was unable to work, had to give up my job, (I earned more than my hubby), we lost our house, had to go bankrupt and had been broken into and lost everything as we had no insurance. All this happened with 2 babies and me in a wheelchair, we had to move 350 miles away to get a job which came with a house, so with no family or friends around we were on our own and NOT ONCE even after being on antidepressants 10 years down the line NOT ONCE have I ever thought of taking the easy way out and killing myself. I am still trying to get off my antidepressants and I know REAL depression does NOT GO AWAY just because you have kids and they need you! None of my neighbours or friends know my private hell!
All that moron endured was “HUMILIATION” not “DEPRESSION”, and I would rather have my life with dignity intact than all the money and lifestyle of Jade Goody.
I worked hard for everything that I had and that we lost, Jade Goody made a lot of money off the back of giving a BJ to PJ on national TV and being thick and stupid, something which the Nation embraced her for.
Children growing up now see her and her like as a way to make easy money, no effort, no talent, no self respect and no dignity needed! SHAME on her and her like, and SHAME on the Nation for embracing this moron and making this kind of behavoiur acceptable!

Depressed? Why doesn’t the Sun interview me for $100K? I could tell them of the horror I endured only this morning. I was so depressed…
going to the refrigerator I was shocked, horrified, mortified, and depressurised to find “WE WERE OUT OF CRUMPETS!!!!” Can you believe it? Why should a human have to put up with this horror??
I was forced, FORCED I SAY!!!, to have toast instead! Can you believe it?
An experience of this magnitude of horror would send the average Z list
‘celebrity’ running screaming to rehab, or so it seems.
And so with a heavy heart I went to work, determined to end it all by feeding my head into the office shredder, but look… someone bought in bagels as it was their birthday! I like bagels, suicidal thoughts subsided and my interview chances were blown.
Damn!

These leeches make their living from publicity in the papers etc, do the editors not understand that nobody give a flying fuck what people like Jade Goody get up to. They just keep her in the life to which she has now become accustomed for being a thick lazy waste of space.
What kind of message are we sending out to our children by allowing this to happen?

The 100k etc paid by the Sun etc for interviews that only elevates this morons lifestyle would, I guess, be the reason to snap out of it, or worth making it all up in the first place.
