Susan Boyle's mother would be 'immensely concerned' about her daughter

Heartache: Susan Boyle opens up about her depression and buylling
Susan Boyle

Singer superstar Susan Boyle's brothers Jerry and John have spoken to the press again about their concerns for the vulnerable star.

Maybe the boys should get the message that Susan hates this.

In their latest interview with New! magazine, the star's brother John reveals that although their later mother would be immensely proud, she would also be immensely concerned for Susan's well being.

Unconfirmed reports continue to circulate that all is not well between the Boyle family members, and this week her brothers John and Gerry appeared in a revealing interview expressing their concerns for the "Britain’s Got Talent" star.

As well as revealing their worries about the fact Susan’s career is being controlled by their two nieces, Gerry was also asked whether he was worried about losing contact with his younger sister.

He told New!: 'At some point you have to say, Well, I tried my best, I’ve got to walk away. We’ll always be there for her, but if it ever goes down, certain people will disappear. It’s very easy to recognize the good guys here – they’re the people who don’t want anything from her.'

The magazine asked if John thought their late mum, who Susan was extremely close too, would be proud of her.

He replied: 'Immensely. But also immensely concerned. Susan’s the youngest and we promised our mother that she would always be looked after. Unfortunately, here we are cut off from her. It’s a wonderful success story, but it’s also a very sad one.'

Neither John nor Gerry have commented on reports that the singer is planning to take legal action against them for their intrusion into her private life, but Gerry did tell New!: 'She said we shouldn’t be talking to the press, but I feel it’s our duty to say we’re not happy, because if something goes wrong, we’ll be slated for not looking after her.'

How about talking to your sister instead of the press. boys? Just a suggestion.

It is dispicable that two of Susans brothers would have agents!! Money is the issue here. They want what she has. They run to the tabloids with stories about her just to make a buck. Otherwise, why would they need agents? Her mother would be very proud of her and would see that she no longers needs to be cared for. She is an ADULT and has done very well so far. These brothers should be encouraging her instead of tearing her down everytime they need money. Please care about her and what she wants for once. She does not need looking after. Pure jealousy!!

Susan's two nieces, the entertainment lawyer and the personal assistant, have done a wonderful job in furthering and ensuring the artistic and financial success of Ms. Boyle over this past year! Instead of 'barbs', these quiet lasses who have never publicly gossipped about Susan in the press should be congratulated by the rest of the Boyle clan for their laudable restraint and fortitude in privately supporting their dear aunt 'behind-the-scenes'. And, @TERMERITY, I am in total agreement with your comments. WELL SAID!!!

These two men are sick and dispicable. Not very intelligent either. Something must be done to keep them shut their traps.

"It’s very easy to recognize the good guys here – they’re the people who don’t want anything from her." You said it, Gerry. So very easy. And who is this "we" you two are speaking for? Yourselves alone? Other members of the family? Who exactly do you pretend represent? Why have no other family members backed you two up?

Every time I read a story about these clowns, I want to take my Susan People magazine and whack them in the head and do the same with their supporters who consantly defend them. Hello you are slowly destroying the hard work Susan's taken within the last year to get taken seriously. If that is what you call supportive, I wonder what not caring looks like.

I would like to know where were the brothers when Susan was left alone caring for her mother? Since the beginning of Susan's fame they were talking way too much, portraying themselves as caring, loving brothers. I am not saying they do not love her and want her to do well, but it really bothers me that from what I know, Susan and her mother were pretty lonely most of the time. Perhaps just for Christmas and special ocassions. I think Susan could have benefitted from a little help from her brothers while taking care of her mother.

The brothers should not be talking to the press about Susan. If she wants to speak then let her. It looks as though they just want a piece of the fame themselves.

If Susan said they shouldn't be talking to the press, THEN THEY SHOULDN'T BE TALKING TO THE PRESS! Could it be any more clear? The brothers need to stop trying to tag onto Susan's career and get on with whatever their's may be. No one wants to hear anything they have to say. I have met Susan and her Team. She is happy and in good hands.

She'd be concerned about Susan's brothers mouthing off to sleezy tabloids.

Subros, get a job. Yes, Susan will make her own choices, maybe marry, and then what will you do? Susan is happy. She has a great team. Break new ground and learn how to support her.

Right on, whatever the concern is, they should talk to their sister in private, but certainly not to the press. They are getting for this, they have their own agent. They are making money by selling these stories. I hope they will shut up someday. I am really tired of hearing the negative & complains from these two brothers.

Just leave her alone. These brothers are the worse kind of family. They just want to be famous and knocking their stster is how they are doing it. Susan Boyle maybe should have professionals to help her handle her career. Like Simon and just cut those brothers out of her life--completely

Susan seems happy. Her nieces seem to be doing a good job helping their aunt. I don't know how much of the brothers story is true. It's none of my business what goes on in Susan's personal life. I just don't want to see anyone hurting Susan and God help anyone who does..... and that's what I think! ;-)

John & Gerry Boyle should bugger-off! Leave Susan in peace. If they really care about her, stop trying to run her life. They just want to get their time in the spotlight and it's really getting old! She might be the youngest of the siblings but she's an adult - let her live her life and if she f-'s up that's her concern, not theirs.

An excellent suggestion, Buzz. In truth, I would imagine the fact that Susan's brothers continue to make demeaning remarks about her abilities to be in charge of her own life would be much more distressing to their mother. Susan has repeatedly said how happy she is with her career and her management. The brother's problem seems to be that they are not directly involved in either. She is a grown woman, courageous, strong and immensely talented. Why isn't that enough for them? That is the most important question I think. My opinion, it has nothing to do with Susan's well being.

Haven't those brothers used up their 15 minutes of fame by now?

Ofcourse they would be concerned being pushed aside by their two nieces can't be good for their ego.Never interested in their sister before she became famous? Yes I do believe that is so, more so John than Gerry though but could not the same be said about her nieces? Still the brothers really are dumb bunnies and should keep their mouths shut and respect Susan's privacy. What good are they doing anyone anyway? Certainly not themselves nor Susan. Susan seems to enjoy having her nieces around and lets face it they would understand her and cope with her moods and needs better than either Gerry or John could. What could happen? Susan could "breakdown and end up in a clinic?" Then if that is the case and she be prone to that sort of thing it could have happened eventually anyway living alone and practically ignored and thought of as "poor little Susan."in West Lothian. At least she has had her dream come true and sung professionally won love and adulation from the world broken a record on the Internet made history and lived the high life for a year. Whatever happens now they can't take that away! No they cant take that away from her$$$$!

Well, there you go. The brothers have now admitted that Susan has told them to shut up and yet they persist. As far as their supposed promise to their mother to "take care" of Susan after her death. I don't see any evidence of it. Where were they when Susan was being bullied by louts in Blackburn after her mother's death? Where were they when she screwed up her courage and auditioned for BGT? Not there in the audience to support her. Where were they when Susan needed them when she was struggling with the pressures of the Semi-Finals and Finals? Nowhere to be found. Amazing they have suddenly remembered their supposed "death bed" promise to their mother, since Susan's global success. Susan doesn't need your help now, boys, and has now made that plain. The rest of Susan's family have behaved beautifully. Just as anybody would hope. Alas, every family has its black sheep.
