Jackiey Buddon, Jade Goody’s mother, claims Jeff Brazier’s request to have his son’s mother stop him seeing his grandmother has not been received in court documents.
Jade Goody’s mum has insisted she is the “closest thing” her two grandsons have to their late mother. Jackiey Budden’s outburst comes amid a bitter feud with the father of her grandchildren. Jade, who rose to fame on Big Brother, died in 2009 from cervical cancer.
Jade’s children with Jeff – Bobby, 21, and Freddy, 20 – were just five and four years old at the time of her death. The children have since been raised by Jeff. He recently opened a legal case to stop Jackiey from being able to see his youngest son, Freddy. In recent months, Freddy has been spending time at Jackiey’s flat in Bermondsey, south east London, often documenting his stays on social media.
Freddy appeared to be smoking marijuana at his grandparents’ house in a recent social media post. Additionally, Jackie never abandoned her drug use history. She has previously admitted to using crack cocaine. Additionally, she used cocaine in 2010, which was captured on video. Jackiey, who also appeared on Big Brother with Jade and her widower, Jack Tweed, continues to consume alcohol and smokes cannabis.
Jeff claims in the legal argument that Freddy’s relationship with his grandmother “has been incredibly detrimental to his wellbeing.” Jackiey refutes the allegations and says she won’t be hiding.
Now, Jackiey has opened up further to the Daily Mail. The 68 year old claims she is yet to receive any legal papers from Jeff’s representatives and told the publication: “This is not fair. I’ve tried so hard with Jeff over the years, to keep the peace and to keep the family together and the boys close – I even send him a Christmas present every year, but he doesn’t appreciate it. He probably throws them in the bin.”
She continued, “I’ve been their mother for all these years.” Jackie previously alleged that she thought her home was “safe” for her grandchild.
A source once close to Jade recently told the Mirror they can see where the boys’ protective dad is coming from. The insider said: “I can see where Jeff is coming from with this legal action. Jeff’s looking out for Freddy’s best interests.
Anyone who struggles with Freddy needs to help him because he lost his mother when he was 4 years old. And perhaps Jackiey isn’t the right choice given that she is herself in a vulnerable position.
Freddy and his father, who both appeared on the BBC program Celebrity Race Across the World, discussed their mental health issues.
Jeff had said prior to the show he was looking forward to spending time with his son. Speaking to the Radio Times, he said: “I feel like at some point he’s going to move out and I’ll lose him. So, I guess I’m just trying to squeeze every last bit out of him that I can.”
