DISTRAUGHT Heidi Fleiss is hiding a heartache in the Celebrity Big Brother house - her brother Jason drowned days before the show began.
The Hollywood madam considered pulling out of her commitment after the tragedy.

And her stay in the house means she will miss Jason's funeral.

But she was persuaded to go ahead with the C4 reality show by long-term love Dennis Hof.

He told Heidi it was what her brother would have wanted.

Hospital medicine specialist Jason was swept out to sea by a strong current while on holiday in Hawaii over the New Year.

He was swimming with Heidi's other brother Jesse, who was saved by a surfer.

To add to ex-jailbird Heidi's grief, the tragedy happened just two days before her 44th birthday.

Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch brothel in Nevada, said: "Heidi was so devastated she almost pulled out of Celebrity Big Brother.

"She said, 'I loved Jason. I don't want to be disrespectful to him.' I told her she needed to get away and stay busy so she does not have time to dwell on this awful thing."

i thought she looked a bit vague/distant, that would explain it.

That explains a lot. Her head must be mince.

It does explain a lot. Don't really know what to think about her decision to go on the show, grief effects people in all kinds of ways. I don't think I'd be strong enough to get out of my house let alone appear on tv living with a bunch of strangers if it were me.

IWHWHW.

I'm going to write in my will that if my family finds themselves saying It's What He Would Have Wanted to justify an outrageous decision afterwards then they should do the opposite as a matter of course.

Like Suzy says...........grief affects us all differently.......I feel really sorry for her

I suppose it all depends on how close to her family she really is. Moreover, people do cope in different ways...but I think I'd have stayed home out of respect if nothing else

I agree grief affects us all in different ways but to enter the BB house and not be there for her brothers funeral,if she had attended the funeral then entered the BB house would have shown repect, but going in before is disrespectful IMO

I dont feel sorry for her she made her choice ..

There are many ways to show respect without having to attend a funeral........it doesn't mean you love them any less........and I believe the deceased understand that concept more than any of us

Personally couldn't do - not a chance in hell.Feel very iffy about the whole thing, how could you not be with your family or at least attend his funeral. That to me is respectful but then again these Hollywood folk aren't our run of the mill 'normal'.

Can't comment about her showing respect or disrespect however way you want to view it, if it was her decision in the end to go into the house, well good for her

But I'm loving her spot on views of the bible basher

Exactly........why can't we just respect her decision..........even if it differs from our own, without making judgements?

Even if she hated her bro and was distant - its still an odd choice
She looks ill to be honest

I like her she very honest person and takes no crap.

As for her brother it's her decision and celebs do tend to put there work first.

I won't hold it against her.

I agree...I'm liking the Heidi!

I've never been to a funeral and most of my family are dead.

I'm clearly a bad and awful person!

I didn't appear on a TV show at the time though so maybe I'm bad but not awful.

MargueritaMember

I like her honesty but yet to see any kind of personality ..or anything really

Don't be so daft! Everyone reacts to death in different ways and everyone has their own individual ways of expressing respect and grief.

It was your decision. Just as it was Heidi's.

I totally agree, everyone reacts and also handles things in their own way. My cousin lost her son when he was just a baby, she went on holiday the week after, would I have done that, probably not, do I think badly of her for doing it, hell no.

Watch yourself....I witnessed Dan turn a poor unsuspecting FM into a pillar of salt only yesterday

My brother and I were the best of friends and when he died alls I wanted to do was run away, I did'nt want to go to his funeral because that made his death all the more real, I understand her decision....

The way I see it, a funeral is for two things. An accepted way to deal with disposing of the body. And a social ritual for the living. It's got nothing really to do with the deceased. I prefer to do my mourning completely in private and, as far as respect for the deceased is concerned, I prefer to respect them when the people are alive.

Perhaps Heidi is the same? Only I suppose she won't have much privacy in there.

TrollopMember

Good excuse to get your black tie out though...never see the light of day otherwise!

Normally, I take people with a pinch of salt but, well, this forum requires special measures.

I agree. Grief shouldn't be measured by how public we make it.
