Jeff Brazier appears to have taken a swipe at Jade Goody’s mum amidst reports that he is taking legal action in order to prevent his son Freddy from seeing Jackiey Buddon.
Inside Jeff Brazier’s life with sons Freddie and Bobby after Jade Goody’s death
Jeff Brazier has set his sights on Jackiey Budden after his son Freddy paid a heartwarming Mother’s Day homage to both of his parents. Reality TV alum Jeff, 45, has had an ongoing dispute with the mother of his late ex-partner Jade Goody, Jackiey, ever since the beloved Big Brother personality succumbed to cervical cancer back in 2009.
Despite Jeff taking the reins and raising their boys Bobby, now 21, and Freddy, 20, Jackiey is reportedly facing a legal challenge from Jeff aimed at stopping her from seeing Freddy. Social media posts in recent months have depicted Freddy staying at Jackiey’s abode in Bermondsey, South East London.
In one update, Freddy was seen possibly indulging in cannabis at Jackiey’s home. She’s been pretty upfront about her own drug-laden past, admitting to smoking crack cocaine and was even caught on tape using cocaine back in 2010.
Jackiey continues to consume cannabis and alcohol presently.
For Mother’s Day, Freddy eloquently honoured his mum who passed away as well as showered Jeff in praise, expressing: “Forever grateful for you and all you do for me,” accompanied by a red heart emoji. In response, Jeff broadcasted the tribute to his considerable online following, captioning it: “Oh Fred, I’ve got you.”, reports the Mirror.
He also posted a touching photo of himself with Jade, from whom he separated in 2004. “Firstly to the greatest mother imaginable who was tragically denied the privilege of seeing her children grow into adulthood. Anyone taken from loved ones is sorely missed but I’d have to admit we have needed you ever since and still do to this day,” he expressed.
Adding to this, he said: “It was too big a job for me alone but thankfully we have a strong dependable village around us. My Mum and Auntie Leslie were there for us in every way especially those early days and beyond. It’s hard to imagine coping without them.
“My wife Kate and I can be really proud of how we’ve grown and risen to the challenges. She’s the first person i confide in when i need to figure something out or vent and her support has been a constant throughout.”
Jeff continued: “The Godmum’s, Jade’s friends, have been a constant source of time, love and comfort always checking in, going above and beyond. Happy Mother’s Day to Kate’s mum Debbie and Kate’s Auntie Lisa. They have been amazing with Bob and Fred but I’m particularly grateful for our memories of Safari and how they kindly welcomed us into their Christmas plans for the last 11 years making a difficult time feel special.”
Jeff then extended his gratitude to his female friends before acknowledging that parenting was “a team game,” as he thanked the “heroes” who have supported him. Notably, he did not mention Jade’s mother, Jackiey.
In their ongoing court clash, Jeff has levelled serious accusations against Jackiey, claiming that her bond with Freddy is “a relationship that has been incredibly detrimental to his wellbeing.”
Last week, Jackiey opened up to the Daily Mail about the heartache of the legal strife.
She relayed to the newspaper: “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.”
