Freddy Brazier, 20, publicly acknowledged his father Jeff Brazier’s role in his life this Mother’s Day, sharing heartfelt tributes to both Jeff and his late mother, Jade Goody. Jade, a reality TV star, died of cervical cancer in 2009 when Freddy was just four. Jeff has raised Freddy and his brother Bobby, 21, since her passing.

Freddy’s Instagram posts included a collage of Jade with the caption “Happy Mother’s Day” and a photo with Jeff, writing, “Forever grateful for you.” The tribute comes as Jeff seeks legal action to block Freddy’s grandmother, Jackiey Budden (Jade’s mother), from contacting him, citing concerns for his son’s well-being.

Family Tensions Surface
Jackiey, 68, helped care for the boys after Jade’s death but has clashed with Jeff over parenting. Recent reports reveal Jeff is pursuing a court order to restrict her access to Freddy, claiming their relationship harms his mental health. Jackiey, however, insists her council flat is a “safe space” for Freddy, criticizing Jeff for treating him “like he’s ten.”

Jeff, who remarried in 2018, shared his own Mother’s Day tribute to Jade, writing, “We still need you,” and thanking his support network, excluding Jackiey. Meanwhile, Jade’s widower, Jack Tweed, weighed in, stating Jade wouldn’t approve of the feud but acknowledged her desire for her sons to avoid Jackiey’s troubled upbringing.

Jack Tweed’s Perspective
Jack, who married Jade weeks before her death, told The Sun that while Jackiey isn’t fit to parent, cutting her off entirely would sadden Jade. He noted Freddy’s recent bipolar diagnosis and reconnecting with him after years of distance. “Jade didn’t want her boys to have the childhood she did,” Jack said, referencing Jackiey’s history of drug use.

Legal Battle Escalates
Jeff’s legal move follows Freddy’s extended stay at Jackiey’s home earlier this year, which reportedly prompted concerns. Jackiey argues Freddy, now an adult, should decide their relationship. In 2021, Bobby reconnected with Jackiey, calling her a “wizard,” but Jeff’s allies claim the feud stems from longstanding disagreements.

The case highlights the complexities of grief and guardianship, with Freddy caught between his father’s protectiveness and his grandmother’s defiance. As the legal proceedings unfold, the family’s struggle underscores Jade’s enduring legacy and the challenges of moving forward without her.
