It was said there would be no more interviews after the wedding. Yet there is talk of oprah interviewing her!

No, I'm sure it's her decision, and quite accept that she is not a naive innocent in the ways of PR.

I just don't know how her sleazy entourage can sleep at night, that's all.

I feel terribly sorry for Jade, and whilst I do understand that the media interest is of her making, I think her current predicament shows how misguided her decision is.

I suppose that is the crux of what I mean - that I feel sympathy for her not only because of her illness, but because she seems to be surrounded by a group of family and friends that wouldn't look out of place in a Dickens novel.

I just wish she had someone reliable to turn to - someone not on her pay roll.

wannaBe · 03/03/2009 12:38

I've made no secret of what I think of Jade seaking all this publicity, and I certainly don't think that she is an innocent victim who knew no better, she made the conscious decision to allow the media into her life, into her illness.

But I do think that it is naive to think that she could stop this at any time. The media don't like to be dictated to, and once you allow them into your life you can't suddenly decide which bits they can see and which they can't. You only have to look at any other celeb who ends up being pictured on holiday/shopping/having a row with their partner to know that allowing the media into your life is like shaking hands with the devil.

And what is currently being reported in the media isn't interviews/publicity shots, it's general gossip, "jade has gone into hospice/gone back into hospital" etc. And that isn't something anyone really has any control over. Because while Max Clifford and the like could refrane from comment, the photographers would still be sitting outside her house/outside the hospital waiting for news/a picture. It's freedom of press, they can print what they want, and I'm sure there is no money involved in what is being printed at the moment.

fishie · 03/03/2009 12:41

did any of you hear max clifford interviewed on pm programme last night? he was very definitely distancing himself from jade and suggesting that his involvement had ended when the living programme stopped filming.

he did point out that jade had chosen to appear in front of the press outside her house, she could have been covered up. anyway then he talked about how he'd had cancer and not gone to press about it.

so he seems to be anticipating a backlash too.

2shoes · 03/03/2009 12:43

guilty!!
wonder what he will use to stay out of jail

noddyholder · 03/03/2009 12:45

I despise him for all the justifying he does when he knows full well what they are 'pushing' is pure misery.the constant 'for her boys' line is becoming more and more unpalatable.What is this ridiculous need to leave millions behind?An insult to all who die young and don't have that facility.

wannaBe · 03/03/2009 12:51

I don't like him, but i heard an interview with him recently, and he was sayint that on the whole, people come to him to help them stay out of the press rather than the other way around.

abermum · 03/03/2009 12:53

i am dealing with cancer at the moment- and to all those who criticise her, wouldn't you do the same thing? I would love to leave my children the sort of security that she will leave her boys with.

If i had the capabilities to earn that kind of cash in a short space of time i would- and my line would be "sod everyone!"

noddyholder · 03/03/2009 12:57

They may be left with money but what about everything else.I feel they will be ridiculed and teased at school and it will be difficult for them.I had a tube in my neck for 2 yrs when ds was 6 and it pressed on a nerve and I staggered a lot and ds had a few episodes of 'your mums drunk' which really upset him.goodness knows what this circus is teaching those boys.Better to leave them with calm dignified memories than cash inho.Their dad is not exactly penniless and they have him

DollyMessiter · 03/03/2009 12:58

Surely Tweed will have to go back to prison now?

What a terrible role-model he is for his young stepsons.

They will need mature, gentle, stable and reliable male influences in their lives far more than they will need millions of pounds.

I do hope their father manages their contact with Tweed very carefully - if there is to be any at all.

wannaBe · 03/03/2009 12:58

no.

She has made the choice between spending private time with her children and making money and she has made the wrong choice IMO. Her children will not thank her for the fact she chose to spend her last few days/weeks/months on the front covers of whatever trashy magazines it is she appears on rather than spending it with them.

As someone who earned millions more than most of us do anyway, she had ample time to make provision for her children before she got ill. It's a common sense thing that everyone should do anyway.

AitchTwoOh · 03/03/2009 13:08

i quite like max clifford too, i think he's clever and an honest slug.

heard a bit of the pm interview last night, most definitely he is putting a line between himself and the current situation.

the whole situation is awful, just terrible. poor jade, i'm sure last year when she did her 'i'll beat cancer' stories (as so many other celebs do) she assumed that hers would end with a triumphant revival.

i do worry that this mega-coverage is re-drawing the rules on what people expect to see now. i was genuinely shocked to see the Mail (which is quite po-faced usually, while swimming in the mire) was proud of its shots of David Cameron and his wife as they left their child's body in hospital. i don't believe they would have done that a few months ago, really i don't.

tiredsville · 03/03/2009 13:10

Jack certainly doesn't deserve any leniency with the sentence he is about to recieve, he is an immature dweeb who I have seen in RL on a number of occasions.

I'm sure initially he was drawn towards Jade for the fame factor but I now believe he uses her more as a mother figure who occasionally shouts at him and gives him a lot of pocket money. Why she would want him as a father figure is beyond me but I guess we don't know what goes on behind closed door.

Anyhow, the OP has created a thread expressing her sadness over Jades terminal diagnoses which others have too choosen to contribute. Who are we to barge in and dictate what subjects they are entitled to feel sad and upset about?
Starting another thread about how the media circus pisses you off, is probably more appropriate.

tiredsville · 03/03/2009 13:13

Hope things are going ok abermum.

noddyholder · 03/03/2009 13:15

I agree maybe you are right but the thread title is a bit of a tabloid style headline so I think all those who object to this sort of thing can be forgiven for rising to it.

tiredsville · 03/03/2009 13:16

*I did mean a father figure for her kids by the way

tiredsville · 03/03/2009 13:22

Yes, but Pillock did admit she was on the bottle when she posted hence the emotional headline.

thumbwitch · 03/03/2009 14:36
tiredsville · 03/03/2009 15:17

No it wasn't deliberate.

mayorquimby · 03/03/2009 15:27

lol i didn't notice that at all. i read it as "pillock" as well. apologies for any offence

Rehtom · 03/03/2009 15:37

She may be selling her story and letting her last days be publicised, but the number of women having smears done since it was announced she was terminally ill has increased. That can only be a good thing.

I'm sure she is spending as much time with her sons as she can.

It's all terribly sad, as it is for anyone that has to die before their time should really be up.

If MN contuniues to give in to these requests to sideline 'unacceptable' (to whom exactly and why do their sensibilites trump others on MN?) I will leave in protest. I am totally pig sick of this 'all mnetters are equal, but some are more equal than others'. If you don't like what some people want to talk about here, don't join in. Its a no brainer.

MN is a support site, even though its more and more beginning to resemble a place for unhappy and bored women to dump all their negative shite on others in order to give their day and overall existance a pathetically faint whiff of meaning.

2shoes · 04/03/2009 13:37

I wish I understood what you meant.
so you mean if an op says you can only post if you feel one way, that is right?
(sorry confused old lady here)
