Well, well, well..... what do you know.......
Rebekah Wade, editor of The Sun newspaper was arrested last night for allegedly assaulting her husband, Eastenders actor Ross Kemp. Although Ms Wade has escaped charges, her arrest will still have caused her great "embarrassment", says Sky News' Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt. Ms Wade had been held in custody, but police said she has been released with no further action to be taken against her. Kemp, who plays a hardman in the soap, is said to have a cut lip following a 'disturbance' at their home in south London. Brunt, who broke the news, said police went to their home in Battersea at 4am this morning. "Neighbours were woken by a disturbance of some description and decided to call the police," Brunt said. "The allegation is that Wade assaulted her husband. He is sporting a cut lip." Brunt said her arrest "will be cause for some embarrassment. As editor, she has campaigned against domestic violence."She had been due to attend the 50th Women of the Year Lunch this afternoon at the Guildhall in central London.
Cause for some embarrassment? I'd bloody say! I think they should sack her! How can they let her be in charge of such a powerful paper that speaks to the whole nation, when she beats up her own husband, allegedly?
Now, I am against any sort of violence, be it domestic or otherwise and have worked closely with Refuge for a long time. The reason this story amuses me and disgusts me at the same time is that, a while back now, Rebekah decided she didn't like me. I don't recall ever meeting her and I definitely haven't done anything to deserve her hatred of me. She apparently won't let the Sun work with me, or certainly, they very very rarely print anything about me, and if they do, it's generally not nice. A piece I recall a while back was when they called me and Kenzie "pond life" amongst other things. Nice.
Now, lets just get this straight, I'm a good person, I work for lots of charities, I don't do anything to offend people other than wear skimpy outfits but hey, we're born naked - what the hell does small clothing matter? She, on the other hand, is allegedly a man-beater! Nice one Bekah. I quite like that, Jodie Marsh, man-eater and Rebekah Wade man-beater, allegedly. I know which I'd rather be! Any day of the week.
So, I'd like to point out that the editor of the paper that called me pondlife is actually (if Ross Kemp does really have a bloody lip that came from her) a total and utter wrong-un (I've known this for a long time but finally everyone else gets to see it). I'm glad you've been caught Rebekah cos you're a cow. I've done nothing to deserve the abuse and lack of help I get from your paper. And if you really did hit the gorgeous Ross then you don't deserve him anyway. I have been in a violent relationship and my best friend was killed by her partner. Domestic violence kills 2 women a week in England and Wales alone. It is a bigger killer than Breast Cancer and 1 in 4 women have experienced domestic violence first hand. It's a huge problem. Clearly it'a problem for men too and poor old Ross, it seems, now knows that. See how things turn out? I always say, what goes around comes around don't I?! Rebekah, your moment of glory is up. You are not the fountain of all knowledge, nor are you a good role model. You have had a hell of a lot of power for a long time and yet you are not as perfect as you may think. You are very quick to judge others and have ignored all the good I have done with my charities over the last 3 years, portraying me as a dumb, cheap, pointless slapper with no brain and no class. At least I don't hit men.......
Your paper called me 'pondlife' after Kenzie told a bloke to "piss off". That hardly warranted being called pondlife I feel, not least because I didn't actually do anything apart from tell Kenzie to walk away and that the guy wasn't worth it (what actually happened, for those who don't know, is that Kenz and I walked into a Burger King to order some food and while standing at the counter, one of the guys in the back flipping burgers shouted out "Blazin Squad are shit". Kenz asked the guy serving to go get the guy who had said it and when he showed his face, Kenz asked him why he was being horrid. The guy said "cos you're shit" again to his face and Kenz said "Piss off, you're a dickhead". I then pulled Kenzie by the arm and lead him out of the dump, telling him not to get wound up cos people only get nasty out of jealousy. End of the day, Kenz has had number 1 hits since he was 15 years old and the guy shouting abuse is flipping burgers for a living on a motorway services. Job done, we carried on our way. Next day, it's all over the Sun that we're scum bags and pondlife cos we shouted abuse at some "poor" guy in Burger King for no reason or for something like our chips were cold. Take note, the Sun are filthy, lying morons). Anyway, for that, whether you hit your husband or not Rebekah, I'm glad that the tables have turned and that it's you who's gonna have some negative press for a change. It's you who's gonna know what it feels like to be stared at in the street and it's you who's gonna now experience a tiny piece of what people like Kenzie and I go through on a daily basis. I didn't like you anyway and although I do not revel in other people's misery, I do think it's good that you will now have a taste of your own vile medicine.
As for you Ross, if you have experienced Domestic violence on any level whatsoever, you can always call me, or Refuge for advice. We do actually know what we're talking about and you can talk to us in confidence. Unlike your wife, who probably wants everyone to think she's lovely and fair, we will help you and have only your best interests at heart.
On that note, I'd like to say that if anyone out there does want to help Refuge, their details are on this website. You can send donations to them directly, or to me and I will pass them on. They really do need all the help they can get and Sandra Horley, their Chief Executive is one of the most amazing women I have ever met. She has campaigned tirelessly for many years to put an end to this abuse and has more strength and determination than anyone I know.
Again, I will stress that what goes around comes around. If you're nasty, it will come back on you and bite you on the bum. Life works in many strange ways, but one thing is for sure, you can't hide from your wickedness. Always, always be the nicest person you can possibly be and life will be fair to you. I only ever have a go at people who have been nasty to me first or who have tried to hinder my life in some way, without me having done anything to deserve it. The reason I won't lie down and take shit from people is that I suffered intensely cruel bullying all the way through secondary school, to the point that I didn't speak to anyone. I became a silent loner who hid in the library at lunch-times for fear of seeing my bullies. When I finally re-gained my confidence and strength, I vowed not to let anyone get away with treating me like that again. So now, when people are vile, I point it out, along with their own faults, so as to not be a victim. Ok, two wrongs don't make a right, but there's no rule stating I have to like people or be nice about them if they are being destructive and nasty towards me! It's my way of dealing with it and it amuses me (and you lot - I know this cos you write to me about how mush you love my honesty in my book and on my blog). Instead of feeling crap about myself when I hear or read nasty things about me, I turn the tables and make other people (and myself) laugh.
In fact, one of my ways of dealing with muppets is that I pretend to myself that there is a big box. My friends all know about "the box" and we talk often about who we'd like to see in the box. The idea is that one day, the box will be shipped out to sea and dumped. At the moment, in the box, are Fran Cosgrave, Abi Titface, Jordan and Peter, Dawn Neeson (editor of the Star, who also dislikes me for reasons unknown), Michelle Heaton, Jade Goody, Leilani, and, of course, Rebekah Wade. Anyone can be put into the box at a moment's notice, so if you ever see me write that someone is in 'the box' in future, you know what I'm talking about!
On a mush happier note, Leah Woods and Iron Maiden, of all people were at my brother's gig at Embassy last night. He went down a storm, as ever and Sarah and Jo (my publicist) have lost their voices today from screaming so mush. I'm very happy that it went well, only sad that I couldn't be there. He's playing there once a month from now on anyway so I'll definitely be at the next one!
Am off to my mate's club tonight. It's called 195 and it's in Epping. I used to go there all the time, until their in-house photographer turned me over. He took sneaky pictures of me and Kenzie kissing (before anyone knew we were an item) and sold them to the Sun (of all papers). I was upset because we were in the VIP room and didn't have a clue that he had taken pictures, also upset at the fact that he had made money off our backs. Cheeky git. Anyway, he got a telling off and I started going there again. It is really good in there and I'm sure we'll have fun tonight. I'm going with Lewis, Sarah and Lewis's brother. Should be good. Plus I get to wear my new boots that I didn't get to wear last night.
Spoke to Ricardo yesterday. He went to that Craig from Big Brother's birthday party. I was invited but it was the night we discovered me and Lewis had tonsilitis so I didn't go. Apparently, Maxwell from Big Brother started on Ricardo. A girl he was with actually pushed Ricardo nastily and an argument ensued. By all accounts, it got a bit out of control and Ricardo retaliated. Maxwell had to be held back by various people in order for him not to attack Ricardo. In the midst of the carnage, Ricardo's wig was pulled off. Maxwell and the girl were then apparently thrown out. Ricardo was left extremely shaken and upset by the whole thing. I haven't a clue what Maxwell would have against Ricardo. Ricardo is more woman then me so it seems a bit odd that Maxwell would want a row with him. Why not pick on a man his own size? Anyway, poor Ricardo is feeling better now but I feel really sorry for him. In the same way as Nadia has had to live with her sex change, Ricardo has to live with the fact that he feels like a woman inside and therefore dresses like one. I don't know why people find that offensive. I used to find Kenzie's Ali G style tracksuits a bit over the top but it didn't stop me loving him (ha ha - sorry Kenz - private joke folks!). I wish people in this country could just live and let live a little more, if you know what I mean. Is there any need to go out and have an argument?! If I happen to be in the same place as somebody I don't like, then I just avoid them. If they do approach me, I try not to get involved in an argument, unless there really is no other option. The bottom line is, there's no point fighting and arguing. We only live once so at least make the most of it and live each day like it were your last. If you don't like someone, stay away from them. Don't trade insults publicly and certainly don't get aggressive! Maxwell mate, lighten up. Ricardo hasn't done anything to you. He's a party animal, that's all. Come on now, lets just all be friends.........
So, folks, that's all for today. Man-eater Marsh is signing off. She's had enough and waffled too mush (nothing new there then). It's nearing Christmas and I'm excited. How mush fun is shopping in the dark? Oh the simple pleasures! It's around this time of year that I think we all should appreciate our families and loved ones. My mum, dad and brother are my best mates. I love them more than all the grains of sand in the world. If you're reading this, I want you to log off now and go give someone close to you a hug, tell them you love them and tell them all the reasons why you love them. I don't wanna sound like Darius "spreading the love" (actually I don't care if I do - I loved him for that!), I just think we should all take a minute out every now and then to appreciate the important people in our lives. Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams or for all the nutty clubbers in Essex, might see you in 195 later
