Depression Confession: Jade Goody

In the U.S. Jade Goody isn't exactly a household name. But in the U.K. she's widely despised. A cast member on Celebrity Big Brother, Goody was crass, rude and mean, and now, according to a source at Fametastic, she's depressed. The website also says:

A source told the Sun: “Jade has struggled since leaving the house a week ago and learning that she has become the most hated figure in Britain.”

She's been admitted to a mental hospital, where it's said she's suffering a complete breakdown. Goody bullied her South Asian castmate in what some said were racially motivated incidents. Because she was on the program, she didn't know how the outside world was perceiving her.

Goody has made £8 million from her many reality TV appearances. She wrote a memoir and even has her own perfume, among other projects.
