Shilpa's Statement to Big Brother

[louise jones]

As the actress opened up, Big Brother asked her if she still thought that Jade's argument with her two days ago was racially motivated. Shilpa shook her head. "No, I take it back," replied the actress quickly. "Everyone was having an argument. I don't think that is true now. People say things in a fit of anger. But I stand corrected. I don't want people to think and feel that I feel that way. In fact, I'd like you to please clarify.. put this as a statement from my side, if you can: I don't feel there was any racial discrimination happening from Jade's end. I don't think that's true. I think there's lots of insecurities from Jade, but it's definitely not racial." WHY AREN'T THE MEDIA AND PEOPLE WHO DON'T WATCH BIG BROTHER AND JUST READ THE PAPERS USING THIS STATEMENT BY SHILPA?

You must remember Shilpa doesn't know the half of what has been said about her by the gang of 4. We are privy to it but she isn't. She might have a whole different outlook when she sees the coverage when she leaves the house.

Shilpa is unaware of many things that have been said behind her back which are causing controversy. She might have a different view if she had all the facts. She is basing this statement purely on what has been said to her face.

Louise, do you really think Shipla means this?
Big brother has had a word to her, they know what is happening in the outside world and the effects it's having on viewers and the media.
I would bet thousands it's clever editing and a lot of suggestion on Big brothers part that has prompted this U-turn. Similarly Danielles U-turn in the diary room a few days ago was also manipulated "she must feel very lonely, and I feel awful for saying thoes things to her" - if big brother asked her "put yourself in her shoes, how do you think you would feel" they have the perfect footage they need to subdue the situation a bit.
