So it's official – we're literally never going to hear the end of this whole Celebrity Big Brother racism thing, especially now that big-faced Jo O'Meara has decided that she won't shut up about how bad it is when you say racist things and they go on the telly.
While Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty has hit the brand new giddy heights of meeting Tony Blair for 30 seconds and doing the world's crappiest interview on Sky Three, Jo O'Meara – who was swiftly evicted from Celebrity Big Brother after she a) said that all Indian people were thin because their cooking made them vomit and b) told H From Steps to fuck off because he put some snow in a bowl – has received the opposite reaction. Jo O'Meara has released a 900-word statement saying that Celebrity Big Brother has managed to ruin her life forever. But we already knew that because, as we've mentioned, Jo O'Meara hasn't actually shut up about it for a week.
The nature of reality TV is to be instant and disposable. When Pete Bennett won Big Brother last year, it took just under four minutes for everyone to literally forget his name and what he looked like. We can't remember the name of the woman who won the last series of The Apprentice even though we just linked to an article about her. And we only know who Celebrity Big Brother 2006 winner Chantelle is because her husband is a bit of a dick. But – even though this year's Celebrity Big Brother finished almost a week ago – it's still all everyone can talk about.
Celebrity Big Brother winner Shilpa Shetty is living the high life at the moment, asking you to be her boyfriend and doing dreadful TV interviews with the one-eyed woman from Dancing On Ice – and it's all because a porky pikey shouted at her about Oxo in a vaguely racist way. The Celebrity Big Brother bullies, on the other hand have been given a different ride. Jade Goody got evicted, burst into tears and was then banned from going to India, Danielle Lloyd has been wisely keeping her head down… and then there's Jo O'Meara.
Until a few weeks ago Jo O'Meara was the member of S Club 7 that the fewest amount of people wanted to sleep with, but since she got involved with Celebrity Big Brother she's become quite the figurehead for hatred. On Sunday Jo O'Meara was unrepentant about her racism in a newspaper, on Tuesday Jo O'Meara was a quivering mess being patronised by the only woman more masculine-looking than her on GMTV and yesterday Jo O'Meara released a 900-word statement saying how much it ruins your life to go on Celebrity Big Brother and be uncomfortably nasty to an Indian woman, as This Is London reports:
"Am I the first person in the world to make a mistake or say regrettable things? I am devastated, sorry and honestly have no idea what to do next. I think that as a group we would all have coped better if some of the surprise stunts hadn't been pulled by Big Brother. Jade and her family entering the house late and the introduction of a slave/master culture is bizarre by anyone's standards and automatically creates tension and a divide… I may have made some mistakes but I have apologised for them and, in the context of the three weeks of Big Brother, I honestly believe that I was not a horrible person every day throughout the series."
While it seems incredibly dumb of Jo O'Meara to accept tens of thousands of pounds to appear on Celebrity Big Brother and then be surprised when they're made to do unusual things, hopefully this statement will be the end of everything and we can all go back to normal. Jo O'Meara's Celebrity Big Brother co-star Jermaine Jackson also thinks enough is enough and – this is true – has offered to give Jo one of his songs to help rebuild her career. If Jo accepts Jermaine's offer then Woo-Hoo! I'm A Horrible Chain-Smoking Sourpuss What Hates All The Brown People Without Exception will be released sometime in the spring.

nosebag says
Its a shame her agent died – she could really do with someone telling her to shut up and piss off to another country for a couple of months
Gilbert Wham says
You lot are slipping. Is that really the most unflattering picture you could find of that boot-faced harridan? Compare it to your Courtney Love masterpiece f’rinstance. C-minus, could try harder.
Matt says
Yes your right we will hear more about it. So long publicity tarts like yourself keep posting stories on the subject…
amy smith says
actually pete bennett is still remembered and loved so in your face. jade on the other hand? pffff
plurabella says
So if people who discriminate against others because of their race, are racists,: what do you call this, Face-ist Behaviour?
James says
Face-ist remarks don’t carry quite the same amount of social stigma as being a racist does. Matt, shut up dick head. Amy, nobody remembers Pete. Nobody. I still don’t knwo why that wet hippy won. He was pathetic. Grumble grumble. I don’t like Tuesdays.
jimbag says
fuck you all! i love Jo! jo all the way woooooo
Roy Sharma-Le Pre says
Jo is classic.
Classically stupid. She clearly stated, in C.B.B., that the reason people in India (or China, or indeed elsewhere, even) are thin is because they undercook their food and fall ill. She subsequently states that is why she didn’t eat Shilpa’s chicken.
…Or, was it the other way round? Frankly, who gives a damn about O’Meara apart from jimbag, above?
What an ignoramus of the greatest kind (Jo, that is!) – now that all that she has is her PURE stupidity-induced embarrassment to live with, no wonder she claims she wasn’t racist! Yep – she is not racist……and we did not topple Saddam. I cannot STAND the sight of that person, and Jade Pikey.
Good riddance to bad, bad rubbish.
sharmaisatwat says
Oh shut up Sharma you are no position to comment about racism.The reason you are so obsessed with racial divide is because Hindu’s pretty much invented it.you damn well know that your beloved upper caste people have been lording over 2500 years of caste discrimination over skin colour and treated “lesser mortals” within your OWN race as untouchables, demoralising dehumanising and treating them like animals just because they werent white enough for your people so you cant sit there on some moral high ground as if your entire culture hasnt been based on a racist social divide.You are a hypocrite who sits on this bandwagon of hate & convenience and no doubt you will lay some daft claim that it was white aryans who invaded india and started it all….which of course is more bullshit because you lot STILL practice and encourage it after 2500 years!!..oh yeah its “frowned upon” but you still all follow the rules you promote by word of mouth handed down family to family and you even have the cheek to comment about racism when you lot have been at it since the beginning of your “civilisation”.Dont believe me? go to hinduwebsite.com and read the FACTS from your own people.Deal with your own shame first pal
Jaden says
guys im a sri lankan black so i can decide what the damn hell is racist or not. and i know that what jo did was not racist! she was just jokin around for gods sake. anyone on this page who thinks jo did something wrong is a fucktard who will never get laid in their life. anyone here who goes ON AND ON about racism that doesn’t exist anymore is a pathetic loser whos looking for something to whine about. but if theres someone here who respects this kind and talented woman who did NOTHING wrong (like jimbag and bradley from s club) then join me in saying: WE STILL LOVE YOU JO!!!
Jaden says
errr guys i have to say im sorry. i hadnt seen the videos and how extreme the situations were and my natural instinct was to vouch for jo. now i know how horribly she treated shilpa and i don’t care wat she says i dont think im gonna forgive her unless she does something big to make up for this. people do make mistakes, people dont forget how to be humane. i know how it feels to feel ganged up on and i was the fucktard. i dont know how she could have passed for a civil person in s club and how she said that stuff after performing with bradley for FOUR years. and ironicly hes the only one who still supports her. but im here to say: jo you were a real bitch. clean up your act and your heart.
lily says
trust whites to be ignorant and in denial
not racist? yah and america didn’t go to iraq for oil
Sammy says
Jo was just kidding, the people working on the big brother show with all the editting just put in the bad stuff about Jo never the good stuff i know they were just trying to get people to watch it but by doing that they ruind the greatest person in the world. She said she was sorry and Sharma needs to get it through her weird demented head. Jo i love you your the greatest no one will ever forget you and i still think your inocent and you were just kidding just like you said you were a fish in a fish tank and you were just put on show for what everyone thinks is wrong. Your the greatest Jo! Luv ya!
AmazingGordo says
Great, more about that Big Brother nonsense. The scripted set-up to make Shilpa Shetty
ses says
how much stupid things can write a person about other one? stuart?
Jo_forever says
Jo was totally framed by editing and the Big Brother conspiracy to make Shetty famous, at the cost of innocent people! So piss off Stuart, you, and all your little hate monger bitch buddies!
Jo_forever says
Well said! I couldn’t agree with you more!
Jo_forever says
“how much stupid things can write a person about other one? stuart?”
Well ses, probably about as much as you wrote right there. Was that supposed to be English? You haters ought to spend less time spreading hate, and more time cracking the books!LOL!
Anti_Big_Brother says
Jo, Jade and Danielle were absolutely and totally set up and framed on Celebrity Big Brother!
The proof is out there! Go to YouTube and search: “The Celebrity Big Brother Conspiracy”
soniya says
well whatever happend ….happened….i still support jo…she apolojised…..and its end of that story..well i dun think soo that she hate Indians now too…but here in India…there r many s club 7 lovers……..yes i felt bad that how can my fav singer can use racist words. not only mee but many…….but still she is a human and yes, we do mistakes…………everyon needs a second chance…..
Jermzy says
Mate, it wasn’t her really being racist, it was some off colour joking between friends that was taken severely out of context (like making Asian squinty eyes or black jokes). As for her treatment of Shilpa, Shilpa didn’t do herself any favours: she was unnable to get the point and went off on insane tangents- that’s what Jo was laughing at.
At the end of the day we have to remember that this is reality TV: it’s job is to manipulate you. It speaks great volumes about the intelligence of he writer of this article that he was.
Oh and by the way I’m Indian (Aussie citizen).
BOB says
What? All Hindus are racist? Even my sister in law? I better tell my brother you said she dont like us blacks then!
You moron! People like you are the asian version of Jade, Jo & Danielle, you go around spouting crap that YOUVE been taught by YOUR parents. Your probabley too stupid to realise your the type of person that YOU are describing in your post! I bet you hate all muslims too, how about the jews? You KNOB!
Moni says
OMG! If you’re talking about Jo in this kind of way it doesn’t make you any better than her statements on the show. Believe me there are much worse statements on Big Brother – The Secret here in Germany!
George Strickland says
She should be part of the riot. HAHA
George Strickland says
Yes, it will make everyone happy and not actually the losers, but the world.
Genocide of Whites says
Do you think white people have the right to have their own countries?
EG SYMONDS says
Jo O’Meara Is NOT a racist! If there’s any blame to be leveled during that stupid show from 8 years ago, it’s that Shilpa Shetty was permitted to play the race card in what were obviously pre-arranged bits geared to turn the viewing public agtainst certain CBB house mates like Jo, Jade and Daneille. Jade died due to stress induced cancer and SHilpa gotm her 15 minutes of world fame from the alleged controversy. Now let’s put this thing to rest, with the lesson learned that the media can be used to make the public think whatever it wants us to think. Don’t be a sheep. The next time it might be YOUR ass on the chopping block, being framed for something you are innocent of!
EG SYMONDS says
no, the world is not comprised solely of losers like yourself. But in any event, it won’t happen, so go commit hari kari, you hate miongering ass-clown! THAT would make the world happy! Me at the very least! :)
EG SYMONDS says
FOAD ASSHAT!

EG SYMONDS really needs to see a doctor.
