For a week or so now, the British and international public opinion have been utterly scandalized because of what aired on Channel 4's 'Celebrity Big Brother' reality show. It all began when Jade Goody, a reality show star fairly known in the UK, and other housemates were caught on tape while insulting an A-list Bollywood actress, Shilpa Shetty, brought on the show to bring diversity among the contestants and in the idea that she would thus become familiar to the European public as well.

Among the three bullies, Jane Goody was the most verbally aggressive, repeatedly calling Shilpa a 'dog', a 'Paki' who 'wants to be white' or a 'princess' who should 'go back to her community, to the slums'. Her comments and the way in which both the network and the producers refused to acknowledge the racial content of the slurs prompted more than upset 40,000 viewers to send written complaints to Britain's biggest media watchdog Ofcom, while Shilpa's fans in India took their outrage to the streets.

The scandal sort of died down on Friday night, when Goody was evicted from the show, with an overwhelming 82 percent of people's votes going against her. But Channel 4 is again singled out as having had a hand in the eviction (as some kind of damage control measure), as well as in instructing Goody on what to say when she came out.

As violent as she was to the Indian actress, Goody seemed way too humble and remorseful upon the eviction. There was no crowd to greet her as she came out of the Big Brother house, as is usual, because the network feared for her security. Obviously, she denied having been given a heads-up from Channel 4 as to what she had to say after being cast out of the contest.

In an interview with 'News of the World', Goody admitted to making those comments but strongly denied that they had any racial substrate. Instead, she claimed her words were taken out of context and that the public opinion had been manipulated by means of editing. 'I can't dignify myself because that video footage of myself is nasty. I'm not going to sit here and try and justify myself. Yes, I said those things and they were nasty. I am not a racist and I sincerely ... apologize to anybody I've offended out there.', she explained.

Meanwhile, she showed herself more than aware that her words were literally the end of her career, as taken out of context as they were. Goody told the interviewer that, while the non-celebrity version of 'Big Brother' (in which she appeared in 2004) represented the beginning of her career, this last one is actually the end of it, a thing that can already be seen in the low sales of her many products (her line of perfumes has already been taken off the shelves in many uptown stores as a sign of protest).

'I am shocked and disgusted at the behavior in the house. I feel s**t, I hate myself right now', Goody said, with tears welling up in her eyes. She then added that she wouldn't even profit of the money she got to appear in the popular reality show (£50,000) because she planned to give it all to charity.

Meanwhile, the Channel 4 board will meet today with the producers of the show, in order to see whether this edition of the show will be canceled altogether. Their decision will be made public later.
