BB viewers have been left shocked and disappointed after discovering tweets written by Trish, a Big Brother housemate, several years ago. In the tweets, she used racist, homophobic, and ableist language. Fans of the reality show, who had backed the 33-year-old to win the show and scoop the £100,000 prize, are especially disappointed.
The tweets, which appear to have since been deleted but have been screenshotted, include ‘There are Asian people everywhere but why do the ones in Ilford/EastHam/Upton Park and Barking smell like this kmt . Shame on you’, as well as ‘The smell of Pondu cooking is so strong, I hope I don’t leave my house smelling of it like Asian people smell of Curry at times’ and ‘Justin Bieber is TOO pretty, he looks like a lesbian’.
Fans of the show have expressed their anger and sadness online, with one writing ‘I’m very disappointed with what is circulating today, as a huge fan of Trish. These tweets were made 12 years ago but she was an adult, people change & people learn but putting it into perspective that I would have been in year seven at the time and wasn’t half as educated as I am now. I would never have even thought of tweeting anything like that, so I don’t know why a 24 year old would. Very disappointed and I hope it’s cleared up or addressed’.
Prior to entering the house, all this year’s cast had to set their social media accounts to private, hence why Trish’s posts have only just been discovered. Since her eviction, Trish has been active online, thanking her followers for their support, but has not addressed the current scandal.
The 33-year-old had been close to fellow BB star Yinrun, 25, from Shanghai, who was incredibly upset to see her leave. Viewers had also seen Trish stand up for what was right in the house, and it’s a shame that her recent scandal has tainted the positive impression she had made.
It’s essential that shows like Big Brother carry out background checks on their contestants, and it’s shocking that this issue wasn’t addressed before Trish appeared on the show. It’s clear that people can change and learn, and hopefully Trish has done just that in the 11 years since these tweets were written.
Big Brother fans have expressed their sadness and disgust at the inappropriate tweets, with many disappointed that a housemate they had backed so strongly had let them down. It’s essential that everyone takes responsibility for their past mistakes and learns from them, and it will be interesting to see if Trish addresses this issue in the future.
