Jade Goody, Reality TV Star, Dies Following Battle with Cancer

Jade Goody, the British reality television star who at one time was the target of harsh criticism only to become one of the UK’s most admired personalities, has died following a battle with cervical cancer. Goody was 27-years-old.

Goody past away at her home early Sunday morning, surrounded by her family.

It was in 2002 that Goody shot to fame as a contestant in the reality show Big Brother and when she appeared in the 2007 version of Celebrity Big Brother it was her abrasive attitude towards Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty. Goody was attacked sharply by the media for her racist attitudes and she quickly became the face of the often overlooked problem of inherent racism.

Goody, who would later apologize for her behavior and express disgust for her comments, was reunited with Shetty in India’s version of Big Brother and it was during that run she learned of her illness.

After doctors told her that the cancer had spread to her liver, groin and bowel and that her disease was terminal she made it a point to raise awareness about cervical cancer as well as raise money to take care of her two sons when she past away.

Following news of her cancer Goody allowed the media to document her life on a daily basis, showing her trips to treatment, her interaction with her sons and her eventual marriage to Jack Tweed.
