Essex: So, Jodie Marsh’s court case about keeping lemurs on her farm just hit a snag. The council dropped some new evidence right before the hearing, which totally caught everyone off guard. Jodie was trying to get a license for her lemurs at Fripps Farm, but now everything’s on hold.
She showed up at Chelmsford Magistrates Court, ready to fight for her lemurs, but the council threw in this last-minute evidence. Jodie called it “insane,” and now they have to wait until April 25 for the next hearing. Talk about frustrating!
The judge wasn’t happy either. He apologized to everyone, especially Jodie, who just wanted some answers. Her lawyer said it felt like an ambush, and honestly, it sounds like a mess. The council’s lawyer disagreed, saying it wasn’t intentional, but the judge allowed a vet’s report to be part of the evidence.
Jodie insists she’s doing something good for the lemurs and claims there’s no way they’d bother the neighbors. After the hearing, she expressed her frustration, saying the delay is tough because the lemurs need a proper home. She’s been spending a lot of money on this, and it’s clear she’s passionate about rescuing these animals.
She also mentioned that the previous owner isn’t taking care of the lemurs properly, which is really sad. Jodie believes that if she were just a regular person, people would be more supportive. Instead, she feels like she’s facing a personal vendetta because of her past as a model.
Despite all the drama, Jodie is committed to her mission. She talks about how Fripps Farm isn’t just a sanctuary for animals but also a place that helps people heal. It sounds like she’s really trying to make a difference, and it’s a shame that the legal stuff is getting in the way.
