A contestant who uttered the N-word during an off-the-cuff conversation with other houseguests is being kicked off 'Big Brother.'
The premiere of CBS’ “Big Brother” last week was a celebration of the 25th anniversary of the reality competition series, whose millions of fans continue to be captivated by watching contestants isolated inside a custom-made house for the summer compete for a lucrative prize.A contestant who uttered the N-word during an off-the-cuff conversation with other houseguests is being kicked off the show.
CBS issued a statement Wednesday saying that Florida-based illustrator Luke Valentine had violated the “Big Brother” code of conduct and that there was zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur. “He has been removed from the house,” the statement read. “His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show.”As “Big Brother” enters its Season 21 finale, the reality show’s history of contestants using racist language once again raises questions about CBS’ diversity push.
After making the slur, which aired on the series’ live feed — a 24-hour, multi-camera look inside the “Big Brother” compound that supplements the edited episodes on CBS — Valentine tried to backtrack, apologizing to a Black houseguest who was in the room. Valentine then said “I don’t give a f—,” as if to deflect the trouble that might follow the code of conduct violation.
