I know what you mean
but think of it as her celebrity being a seperate person from the actual woman. Non of us actually know her - her constant press coverage in the past is usually fabricated or exagerated by tabloids for sales. Basically 'Jade' that we know is a fictitious being and a fucking irritating one at that. That's what people are happy to laugh at when misfortune strikes.
I very much doubt that most people who laugh at this shit would actually laugh at her in real life. But that's the game she played...she sold this abstract version of herself to court attention and make money. When people criticise, there's no work to focus on (eg. I hate x's new book, x is a nob)- only her 'personality', so that's what gets the flack. When she herself got cancer, she can't really expect people to start seperating the real Jade from the tabloid one and give the real her sympathy while simultaneously hating her creation.
She made this situation herself. If anything, I think the Jade that everyone hates should be packed away (ie not be in the press) and the show brought to an end; while the real Jade goes through a normal, dignified death.
