Former Housemate Faces Backlash After Offensive Tweets Resurface
Big Brother fans are expressing their disappointment with the Late and Live show for failing to address the recent racism controversy surrounding former housemate Trish Balusa. After being evicted on Friday, fans discovered historic tweets containing racist and homophobic language. Viewers were quick to criticize presenter Will Best for not mentioning the scandal on the spin-off show.
Public Calls for Transparency
On social media, fans voiced their frustration with the show's lack of acknowledgment. Many felt that hosts Davina McCall and Emma Willis would have directly addressed the issue and engaged with the home audience. The decision to ignore the topic was seen by some as an attempt to sweep it under the rug.
Offensive Tweets Unearthed
The offensive tweets in question were posted by Trish Balusa in 2012 and contained derogatory language towards Asian people, lesbians, and included vile references to Hitler. The Celeb Report has chosen not to repeat the exact content of these tweets.
Apology and Regret
Trish Balusa issued a statement in response to the controversy, expressing her awareness of the resurfaced tweets and offering a sincere apology. She acknowledged the harm caused by perpetuating harmful stereotypes and expressed deep disappointment, embarrassment, and shame for her past comments.
Fans Disillusioned
Despite previously being regarded as a "national treasure" by fans, Trish Balusa has faced backlash since the offensive tweets came to light. Many fans expressed their sadness and disillusionment upon reading the tweets, questioning their support for her and expressing relief that she did not win the show. Some fans even considered her a Twitter icon one day, only to see her deactivate her account due to the intense backlash.
