Jade Goody

Post by Mid A 15 »

Good luck to her milking the media to provide for her boys given her tragic circumstances

or

Does the media fascination with her tragic circumstances epitomise what is wrong with our society especially when she was unmercifully vilified by that same media just a year or two ago?

Quite apart from the fact that she is intent on making as much money as she can for her children's future, my gut feeling is that she needs to declare very publicly by whom she wants her children to be brought up. Given that whoever does that will have a vast trust fund (presumably) at their disposal, she needs to make it very clear what her wishes are for the children. Otherwise I foresee a very nasty battle between her mother, her new husband, and the boys' father. Or am I just getting cynical in my old age?

According to youngest daughter, who has been following this closely, Jade has securely tied all money up in trust for her boys. She has Max Clifford on her team, and, love him or hate him, I'm sure he will ensure her wishes are fully carried out.

I really applaud her for what she is doing, it really is tragic what has happened. She realises she is in a position where she can do something to make as much money as she can for her boys to ensure that they have something when they grow up to help them. Im sure she has made a decision about who she wants to look after them-just not publicly as that would lead to a lot of media attention on that person and ultimately the boys.

Surely Max Clifford is a PR maestro? He's not a legal executor? Jack Tweed, I'm sure, is going to be a very rich man. It's hard to avoid the photos of his smug confident smile.

Or so it looks to me.

Sorry Midge --- one last comment, Newspapers exist to sell copies, if the Editors have a conscience-- I havn't noticed it.
They will keep this going until the "Wonderful British Public" loses intrest !

Well, now we know - it looks like he won't get very much if anything.
Forget what she said nearly a year ago - this is something very very different. I think anyone would grasp any chance to have their children looked after after their death and if the press want to push money on her then let them

Not to labour a point, but as I said before, Max Clifford, (after taking his cut, obviously), will ensure that Jade's wishes are carried out, and with his lawyers, Gawd help anyone that tries to do anything to the contrary !

It's terrible that she has cancer but I don't want to read about it every five minutes. I'm pretty sure Sky News will soon be rebranding themselves as Jade News. They report on her all the time, even today they had a story on her when Wendy Richards died.

Sorry, but she's got loads of money already so I don't buy into ('scuse the pun) all this nonsense about her needing to secure money for her sons - she's a multi-millionaire and has been for years. Can anyone name one decent thing she's ever done in her life? Her epitaph will read "Bullied a Bollywood Actress".
My therapist says I have a preoccupation with vengeance. We’ll see about that.

Milking a disease for publicity and money perhaps? Oh and this:
