Jade Goody documentary

[ArchAnGeL]

Ended up watching this over the last few weeks as the mrs wanted to

I am old enough to remember it all as it was happening but was pretty apathetic to it all

While her life played out in the media was entirely her own choice and she was complicit in pretty much all of it, looking back it was horrific how someone's entire life and that of their family was basically sold to and consumed by the public

I'm not entirely sure we have moved on as a society but we need to

Moved on, I think we've got worse haven't we? Maybe the whole jezza kyle thing will change something. Ultimately, it's the media who needs to stop this crap.

That happened to be the only series of BB I ever watch, bought the live stream also.

Long time ago now.

I too watched it at my wife’s behest, as Ms. Goody was a dental nurse at the dentist that my wife went to back then.
My feelings for Jade were, good luck, you, or your mentors saw an opportunity to make a few quid, and jumped in.
The pride that Jade’s mother displayed, in Jade being able to roll spliffs at 5 y.o., and the mothers general demeanour, made me ashamed that I was born and raised in Bermondsey too.
I considered applying to have my birth certificate amended to, Place of Birth, Peckham.

didn't care then, don't care now.

She put herself in front of the media and they turned on her - she only had herself to blame tbh.

That said, from what I have read they have brought her racism etc back up which I don't really understand considering she is not here to defend herself anymore. I'm all from equality and fair reports but I think she paid the price when she was alive for it all.

The media are guilty of exploitation, just as the public are of encouraging it.

Get out! Your response is far too sensible for GD!

I think she paid the price when she was alive for it all.

Really? What a statement to make.

I'm by no means a fan, or of any reality TV rubbish to that matter but each to their own and if there's an opportunity to make an easy fortune on the way then I think most of us would jump at the chance. In the end, she proved out rightly that life is too short not to..

Get out! Your response is far too sensible for GD!

The thing is, she wanted a future for her kids and the reason she 'sold out' to the press was to leave them financially stable.

I wasn't a fan of the woman or the shows, but what she did publicity-wise was for the right reasons.

I won't be watching the documentary, if the wife won't watch Stranger Things or Mr Robot with me I certainly won't be watching this **** with her

 

[Junglist]

I didn't particularly care for her whilst she was alive neither do I care now she's dead.

Though I hate the hyperbole that the advert for this documentary had. "The woman that changed Britain". Like balls did she. Lets not make out that she was anything else but someone who went on reality TV made a bit of a tit of themselves and the public lapped it up.

She was complete and utter trash, good riddance.

I don't enjoy saying things like this, but I needed to jog my memory a bit so watched the whole Shilpa Shetty thing again, and I can conclusively say that the world is a better place without her.

I don't enjoy saying things like this, but I needed to jog my memory a bit so watched the whole Shilpa Shetty thing again, and I can conclusively say that the world is a better place without her.

When you consider all the awareness she raised around cervical cancer, increasing the number of women having pap tests and helped lowering the advised age for pap test. The world is literally a better place through her dying from it.

I was never a fan of her, but I have some respect for her as a result of this. I try not to remember her as the terrible obnoxious TV "celebrity", but as someone who managed to make the world a slightly better place before clocking-off.

She was an absolute car crash and the public lapped it up, says a lot about society as a whole that someone like that could make the money she did, her mother is a vile human being and really milked Jade for what she could get.

As someone else has mentioned when she found out it was terminal she tried her best to make a good future for her kids (if only she had paid the correct amount of tax they may have been more financially stable).
