“Big Brother” Contestant Says N-Word On Show’s Live Feed After CBS Warns Of Consequences For Inappropriate Behavior and Offensive Comments

Just days after CBS released a statement about two instances of inappropriate behavior and offensive comments, involving four “Big Brother” houseguests, the network is now facing another controversy-this time for a racially insensitive slip up. 

The incident occurred on Thursday, during a live feed video, following the first live eviction of season 20. 

During a conversation between contestants Kaitlyn Herman, Tyler Crispen and Scottie Salton, Herman referenced Drake’s 2014 hit, “0-100/The Catch Up.” Problem is, the “Big Brother” houseguest forgot to omit a very controversial word.

“I did go zero to 100 nigga, real quick,” she said, before she seemingly realized what she had done, adding, “Oops!”

The comment just two days after CBS spoke out against two other incidents in the house. In one incident, during the show’s 24-hour livestream, cast members, Angela Rummans and Rachel Swindler, used the term “Ghetto” to refer to their skin complexion, while Swindler compared to her tan to her African American roommate, Bayleigh Dayton. In the other incident, which occurred the day before on Monday, July 2, houseguest JC Mounduix attempted to sexually harass other contestants with a ice cream scooper, asking one to “open up your vagina,” so he could put the scooper on their private areas.

In turn, CBS issued a statement and warned of consequences for future offenses. However, in Herman’s case, the consequences, if any, remain unclear.
