Jo O’Meara Writes Jade Goody’s Wrongs
“BIG BROTHER JO BLOWS LID ON JADE,” says the headline. “Race row star to drop mate in it.” And: “The truth too shocking for TV.”
You want the truth? You can’t stand the truth.
But here is Jo O’Meara, onetime singer with S Club 7, preparing to dip her pen in green ink and tell the world about what really went on in the Big Brother house.
As a friend says: “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.”
Many might have supposed O’Meara to have told all there was to tell in print and televised interview. But there is more.
And as soon as she can secure a book deal - a figure of £250,000 is mooted - we can read all about it.
That’s right. Jo has yet to find a publisher. She has a literary agent and very possibly she has a crayon and a sheet of paper. But she has no publishing deal.
But surely the publisher will come. As the paper says, Jo will reveal how Jade was “tipped off” about the ensuing row in the show’s Dairy Room.
She will tell us that the show was edited. Unlike Jo’s book, which promises to be stream of consciousness, a rambling narrative of words and references, unedited, unabridged and unfair.
It was all so unfair. O’Meara is no racist, as she states, just a bully.
So here’s hopping O’Meara gets to write her book.
And that it proves to be every bit as big a hit as Pete Bennett’s music career, Michael Barrymore’s TV comeback and all those others who have appeared on Big Brother and gone on to win fame and fortune…

We’ve had Jade go to India on damage limitation, Danielle slept with and then was dumped by Teddy all in the trash mags and Shilpa is to meet the Queen. Those 3 (female dogs) have got as much publicity as they can handle from this and it is about time Jo got her fair share.

Instead of pouring out vitriol about others, why doesn’t the writer of your article do something useful instead; like learn to spell.
March 12th, 2007 at 3:10 pm
Who cares? It was the bullying which outraged most people anyway. As for Goody’s Mum, itwas blatant she was racist. O Meara penning her justifications are as vile as she was when bitching about Shilpa Shetty. I wish they would all just go away

Jo looks for a publisher for her book, well if its anything like Jade’s book or indded Michael Barrymore’s recent book Awight Now Setting The record Straight dont bother, I understand Barrymore’s book was a flop. The book I would like get is Terry Lubbock’s father of the chap found at Barrymore’s home in 2001, Not Awight Getting Away With Murder by Terry Lubbock & Tony Bennett.

If I was a publisher I would not touch her with barge pole!
March 13th, 2007 at 9:36 am
An indian barge pole?

Neither Jade, Jo or Danielle are racist and everyone knows it! Its just the racist card being thrown at the white people again.. what a surprise and how blown out of proportion can things be.
Go back to the 1950’s, that will give you a clue about what racism really was.
If your white and live in the UK, be careful what you say, otherwise you to will be strung up and hung out to dry, and don’t expect your country to stick up for you!
Our ancestors would crawl in their graves.

I would take the view that anyone who is unable to understand that the comments made by these 3 poisonous women were racist is either in denial or is just as big a bigot.
March 13th, 2007 at 1:07 pm
stop calling shilpa a dog”the purple Aardark”.lt should be Jade,Jo and Danielle who is th dog.looking back how they behave in the house was really bad.when they all came out the reaction was also really bad, this is the power of the press, is a way to bag lots of money.but to the truth if the three british girls behaves better the press would’nt be as bad,so they can’t blame anybody apart from themself, and don’t think that Shilpa is wrong for was she has got just now,if you a good in their show you will get positive this in your way. e.g Myleene klass in the jungle.”The purple Aardark” l think if you were to be put in the house with Jo, Jade Dani Etc. l think you will join Jade’s gang and will have a go od go at Shilpa.

Is there really a market for this kind of books? If she get £250,000, by the time it is on the shelf of a bookstore, what will be the price of the book. And how many punters need to part with their cash? Are there that many bored souls in this little island of ours?

May 15th, 2007 at 9:43 am

May 31st, 2007 at 4:01 pm
we should all be thinking about madalleine and i hope everyone who reads about this will be praying for that precious lille girl.

Girls bitch but is Jack Tweedy a girl?……He’s NOT a man I agree but he’s certainly NOT a girl!
If you read the conversation manuscript of the lymeric (channel 4 have had to publish this), it was Jack who was trying to crawl his way out of using a certain word and claiming he wasn’t racist. Jo admitted her part in it and put her hands up. You need to read the conversation to see where to aportion blame if you are going too. That lymeric, I believe, is the one racist incident in the house, the others were mere bitchy name calling behind a person’s back. Yes that was bullying once Shilpa became aware of it and if it made her feel unhappy, threatened or nervous of being around those people.
After reading that manuscript I suspect I know why Jo thinks Jade was warned off because Jack was bound to have told his beloved wasn’t he? Both Jack and Danielle were called into the diary room separately and spoken too and you could see that Jade’s attitude towards Shilpa changed quite dramatically almost overnight.
Bullying of any kind should not be tolerated whether it is a case of name calling or physical violence and there are no grades of bullying either but since the CBB house, Shilpa has done quite well out of it. She’s made a lot of money, plenty of publicity and secured her future. Jo on the other hand is in a mess and the funny thing is I always tell my kids that bullies never prosper and this is a classic example. I would suggest Jo finds a good therapist and not a good publisher because that is the only way she will be able to deal with those demons which haunt her.
It is time to move on Jo but not in the way you think.
June 1st, 2007 at 4:57 pm
I think jo is a pathetic moron, as usual everyone blames it on the editing but what about LIVE COVERAGE? lots of people watch that! sure they skip out some speech but you could see their actions,
Jade well shes an idiot but look who she had as a role model growing up! i quote ‘you live in east anglia? i thought that was abroad!
Jade did not go to school because of her mums disability she stayed home to look after her.
Danielle is a spoilt cheating brat who has always got her own way. when teddy chucked her out then got back with her then dumped her again my thoughts were ‘at least hes got rid of her FINALLY!’
Jo is only planning this book because she has nothing else to grasp onto for hew so called career she was shit in s club 7 and now she is a shitty no-body do not buy her book!
June 5th, 2007 at 4:30 pm
I dont see what everybody finds so facinating about BB anyway.
June 5th, 2007 at 5:57 pm
Big Brother is easy telly - it’s utterly inoffensive. Unless you’re a Poppadom, naturally…
