Creating an open season? What on earth could be possibly said anymore about her weight? Hasn't she heard it all already.

Ever since she appeared on BB, there have been some idiots who give abuse on her just because of her weight.

I don't think nothing could be said anymore that she hasn't heard already


Not this one, cause it's classy enoug. There's nothing seedy or raunchy about it. It's not like she is posing completely nude in Nuts with very vulgar poses showing her bits to the world.


Final nail to what? John said in the KP interview that if Josie would want to go topless he wouldn't have a problem with it. If she truly wouldn't have a problem with it, why would this kind of cove be final nail to him.

And I just read it back also. In it John says that Josie got offerer to pose topless after she got out of BB but she was having none of it and said would never do it.

And that was for toplees. This cover though ain't her showing her tits. And that is also what she self said that she would never show her tits while she had a boyfriend.... Then said that she wouldn't do it single either cause she is self-concious.

Topless, that is. Well only time will tell if she'll ever show her tits in NUTS kinda way....


Not the actual posing nude, but the fact that Rachael had the attitude that she will deffo get offered to do it.


John said, if they would photoshop his willy to be bigger, he could do it if get offered to. Why would he have a problem with this now? And who cares what his friends think. It's not theirs business to be impressed about that all

Hi Guys I have chilled out now. Relaxed in the garden and got over my little meltdown. Thank you to everyone who sent me a PM with your lovely messages.

Im going to apologise once more for the comment I made. I will learn in future not to generalise and that some muckers are just as bad as some loys and some loys are just as good as some muckers .

As for my comments about the JJAT again I'm sorry for generalising. I realise that many of the posts discuss John in other ways other than Josie. However I will stand by the fact there is some negativity towards Josie on there. For example I have just logged on to find Josie's Now shoot on there with the caption - 'not for the faint hearted.'

Well that has nout to do with John - its just plain negative at Josie. sorry just had to point out that some of my point earlier was valid - though I understand this is the action of an individual not the actions of a whole thread.

I love Josie

I love John

I don't like people speaking badly over either of them.

I think Josie looks beautiful in her shoot. Far healthier and happier. Good for you Josie.

And John - wherever you are hope you are having a lovely time and enjoying life.

Yes, there seems to be "the naked truth" from three women...

Josie, for curviness or overweight
Kate, for being too skinny
and a third woman, forgot what it said...

They're not just posing nude showing their bits for men, they are telling a story. Three different stories on body image

Glad that you have come back xx

Does anybody have the link to the interview with Josie in Now Mag please xx

This photo has only just appeared today....

I like your positive attitude, but im sorry i think an awful lot more can be said and will be said about this photoshoot. If you think back to something like the so called abortion article, it took about a week for everyones opinions to come out....


This is a digital website with only a fraction of the population who post on it....
A magazine like NOW will be seen in every supermarket in the land and every one will be able to see it and have an opinion. in fact I can imagine the redtops or Heat doing a then and now picture.....of the photos from marbella contrasted with the Now photos in next weeks papers....

by appearing nude she is appealing to the lowest common denominator, and I can imagine the mens mags etc will have quite a bit to say about it....

I didnt thing that John was being remotely serious about having his willy photoshopped.......if I remember he was put under quite a lot of pressure to do a nude photoshoot for a charity shot, and he still refused.
And I did think his objections about Rachael and Corin wanting to do topless shoots, werent about the morality exactly but more about the principles involved.


Of course the opinion of John and his friends is totally irrelevant to Josie and her future career. I do completely agree with this.

But this is still the JJJat, so I thought it was relevant/interesting to bring into the discussion what John James may or may not think

If John is the guy we all saw in Big Brother then somewhere deep inside him whilst he may not be in love with Josie he probably has some love for her.

I think if he saw these pictures he would probably smile and think to himself 'well done Josie Gibson."

Evening all

I agree with you on this and would like to think that it was he would say.

come on...you dont have to actually get naked to do a story on body image...

Its part of the whole media circus to make people worry about their weight and what they look like, the business that encourages women to be dis satisfied with their appearance and to spend hundreds of pounds a year on diet aids and supplements....

Me too

Evening all

Evening xx

But it's not as if she has done a full frontal shot, you can't even see anything that you wouldn't be able to see if she had a bikini on, at the end of the day it's her body and if she feels comfortable enough to pose for these shots then good on her xx

I know, and I'm not saying that nothing will be said. I just meant that it won't be anything she hasn't heard for a timeperiod of a year now.

So to me, that cover was also like "kiss my arse" all you who critisise


Well, he did get offered to do a nude shoot for gaymagazine, didn't he? Or was it just a shoot for gaymagazine. No, it had to be nude....... Didn't Sean even post a poll on should he do it? So he was thinking about it.

And I remember numerous of members here being dissapointed when he decided to turn the offer down.

And John James don't lie To my ears he did sound dead serious when he said the willycomment and gave the impression that there is nothing wrong on posing nude. He wasn't saying it in a jokey way


I never said otherwise. I like and welcome the discussion, even when I disagree. If I thought your post was being out of ordered, I wouldn't have responded to you at all. I would have just dismissed it saying that you are being out of order posting that....

But contrary to someone's belief that I only hear what I wanna say myself and always think I'm right and blaa blaa blaa, we were discussing here and I was listening. We were exhanging opinions on a matter we disagree

I don't have a problem with Josie's pics. I think she looks great

As for John's reaction, I agree with Abbie. I'm sure now time has passed so has Johns anger and I think he will be glad that despite what went on between the two of them he will be glad Josie still has a lot of confidence to do the shoot after all he did play a major part in her boosting her confidence.

They are on page 2 of the JAT thread

Edit links aren't working now but they are on the previous thread think it was page 122

And you don't really have to get naked to show that you are against furs and animaltesting on makeups.... But some models do it anyway....

Thank You will go and have a read xx

Hi all . Thought I had calmed down enough to come back on. I can see a little of whwere Augusta is coming from and anybody else who is disappointed in the photos. I can understand how people think she may not be taken seriously having tasteful nude photos taken but then I remember Helen Mirren, Demi Moore, Victoria Beckham, and other such well known people, also the high fashion models that take nude photos not for tittillation but to tell a story of some thought. Would John care? I dont know? He may have been proud that she had worked hard to lose the weight or he may have felt that she should keep herself covered up. However as he has a new girlfriend and Josie is a single independent woman it doesnt really matter.
Will she get hounded and bitched about because of this , most probably by small minded people who cant see the beauty in anything that isnt a size 8 or in fact by people who will bitch simply because they can.
What I do object to is the accusations that have been made about this thread and how we always defend Josie however I think common decency would lead most people to object to a persons declaration that Josie has nothing left to sell but her body and she has done that now and then queried what this made her. Similar comments to what John made in perhaps his lowest moment so I suppose they can justify appreciating the words of John or some such crap when really it is just a childish comment. A comment that I do feel would rightly be challenged on this site and not glossed over in the name of we are not here to appreciate Josie. Again for me it is a matter of common decency.
The photos are decent.she reveals nothing. She could have had a bikini on instead of strategically place body parts. Is she selling sex no. The story is there as an encouragement to all that all body shapes are beautiful and if you can find something wrong in that message then fair enough but I want my 10year old daughter to know all body shapes are beautiful and not just stick thin people. Of course health should also come into it.
Therefore I applaud Josie's confidence.

Pleased to see that insulting tweet was removed. Thank goodness common decency still remains somewhere

Well, that was embarassing, was listening to my ipod and dont know what came over me but got a sudden urge to dance so hopped up and started dancing, manically might I add, the song of choice was the finale song from 'Hairspray' so was doing all the movements, motions of the ocean blah blah, proper getting into it then I heard a thud outside my windoe and the bloomin window cleaner was doing my window! Totally smirking!

Please excuse my ranting rage!! This is not aimed at anyone in particular they are just my thoughts on circumstances as they are .. this most likely will not be very coherent and for that I am sorry. Like I said previously, feel free to skip over or ignore this essay of a post it is of no interest to you. I won't be offended in the least!

The words double standards and hypocrisy are being thrown around a lot today (A phrase and a word I have grown to dislike intensely due to their overusage in recent times!!) often in our direction .. I'm not even sure where to begin but I can only comment on the information I have seen and things I have heard .. and have formulated my own views from this.. I have not searched out or tried to uncover 'evidence' of all the latest happenings so I may not be totally clued up on all that has gone on.

From what I understand, a twitlonger has been circulated and tweeted to Josie with some negative comments regarding her. These comments were taken from a PRIVATE FB group and then distributed for all to see! Now, I haven't seen the comments and maybe I wouldn't agree with them but the fact that they have been copied and pasted from a PRIVATE FB group - is WRONG!! If it had been from the Muckers group with comments regarding John, I'd feel EXACTLY the same way. Private is private and should be KEPT private!! Hacking is illegal and spying is cowardly and gutless! What satisfaction can this person have gained from doing this?

I can only determine that it was done to PROVOKE reactions and cause further contentions between the camps (loys vs muckers) If they really are a supporter of Josie, and has reasoned this with having her 'best intentions at heart' .. HOW HAVE THEY DONE THAT?? Josie seems to be in a good place right now - mean comments would just upset her, so why would you want to bring these to her attention? If you care about a person, you don't want to see them hurt.. so why would you point out hurtful remarks to them?
Her and John are the recipient of numerous hateful tweets on a daily basis as it is .. if they wanted to seek these out they'll find them themselves!

All this tattling and whispering is FUELING fires not extinguishing them! There are enough petty squabbles on twitter as it is - without all this crap. I think it wasn't very thoughtful to inform Josie of such comments as they were bound to get to her and cause her to lash out (I would have acted the same way if this had been done to me) Some can say that she should have ignored this and not react to it .. and yes, maybe this would have been a better course of action if she had just dismissed it and shown that she didn't give a damn - but it's JOSIE GIBSON as ifffff she's going to. Some even tweeted that they would have IGNORED this if they were her ... yet, when the shoe is on the other foot and comments have been made to or ABOUT them .. they shout how angry they are from the rooftops and don't hold back how they feel! So why expect her to be any less human?

No, Josie shouldn't have branded all 'loys' with the same stick. I happen to be friends with some lovely ones who actually do like her as well - they just prefer John. But when people are telling her over and over and over that it is EVERYONE in this group making these kind of comments .. what is she supposed to think? She can't see what is said she's not on the group - she gets told select comments from a small minority of the group.

I am angered when some people lump me and us collectively on here .. they tar us all with the same brush - when we are individuals - who share some opinions but have our own thoughts and feelings too. We're not clones or robots of each other - we don't fit into neat, little categories. We shouldn't be generalised other than us all being here for one reason - each other!!

I am my OWN person with my own mind. I am not an adult who is influenced/swayed/brainwashed by others. I will come to my own conclusions and won't be frightened to say how I feel. I'm NOT a flying monkey/zombie/fool or any number of insulting adjectives for supporting and liking Josie still.

I am NOT a DM/ only interested in John because of his looks or any other number of insulting adjectives for supporting and liking John after all this time either!

Neither, am I deluded/pathetic/living in the past/need a life because I post on the JJJAT (for the love of two H'AMAZING individuals who used to be best friends and a couple) so why am I stamped with these tags??

I AM .. a level-headed, intelligent young woman. I do not take kindly to being targetted in these ways or being brandished in the same way as some of the more extremist fans on either side. I will think for myself - I'm not always right but I won't be intimidated for daring to have a different point of view. I WON'T!!

It also irritates me when SOME John supporters exclaimed how HORRIFIED they were when Sherrie's private FB conversations were broadcast. But earlier, when someone was leaking snippets on twitter about comments supposedly made by John on her wall and pictures they 'awwwww'ed and pleaded for screencaps from her PRIVATE fb!! The fact is, no content from her personal fb account should EVER have been put onto twitter!! It was sooooooooooo wrong!

I don't think that aaaaanything from a private fb account, or private loys/muckers group, or private ANYTHING should make it's way here ... even if it is making the rounds on twitter - then it is available to view there but please let's try not to bring it onto here.

If some people are so APPALLED by the actions they are condemning and persecuting others for doing .. why then do they find it perfectly ACCEPTABLE to do the same thing themselves before or after???? They tweet about their outrage but are guilty of some of the same actions! There are more worthwhile causes to be losing sleep over and falling out with people over.

And as for the disgusting tweets John was receiving over night ... there are no words!! I will just say "Don't take the bait of those who encourage hate, leave them to be to wallow in their misery!" (wise words from me) They may THRIVE off any attention you give them back.. some of you mean well by trying to make it stop - but when they see they are provoking such intense reactions in people they will only get worse. Try not to dignify any of this dreadful behaviour with a direct response to them. It will spur them on!

And breeeeeeeathe!!

I'm so sorry for this but it is all off my chest now ... thanks to anyone who takes the time to actually read this assortment of views!

Dolly you do make me giggle xxx

Glad You have come back, and totally agree xx


PMSL xx
