Its just flashed up on my news feed that Kerry used a homophobic slur the other night

Can't bring myself to click the Sun link but it was during the glamping task I believe.

She really needs to go. Absolutely awful human being.

It doesn't say what she said but they say it was an outdated expression? can't think of what it could be

Olivia and Jenkin hid her luxury mattress and lied that viewers had voted for the housemate they most wanted to lose it

that's pretty funny

…it’s being reported that she said ‘gay’ …but in a way of saying someone/something was stupid, in a put down/critical type of way…

[Ammi]

…so not the word itself but the using of it as a criticism…/…negative…

[thesheriff443]

So the housemates had respect and inclusion training before going into the house

[Redrose]

They're giving Zak the villain edit but censoring Kerry and Paul's offensive behaviour in the main show.

[thesheriff443]

I think the investigation would of been focused on how the comment was aired and not covered by bird song

[Redrose]

Being sly with their editing. Planting the seed with Zak in the kitchen so it would look bad when he was play fighting with Noky in the living room.

How childish to do that at her age. It all makes sense why Hallie is so close to her. If someone commented on her being trans it would be a different story.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Sadly they have tried racist row twice now and now this

Its the only way the PR team can get PR by dressing up something as clickbait

next it will be Trans row

Yeah I was going to say, I don't think I've heard anyone other than a stroppy teenager use that phrase

Earlier this week, Kerry had secured a spot in Big Brother's 'VIP' campsite during the shopping task. However, things took a much less glamorous turn when Kerry's pals hatched a plan to hide her luxury mattress, telling her that viewers had voted for the housemate that they wanted to lose it.

The NHS worker came under fire for using the word after her co-stars Olivia Young and Jenkin Edwards decided to pull the prank.

Earlier this week, Kerry had secured a spot in Big Brother's 'VIP' campsite during the shopping task. However, things took a much less glamorous turn when Kerry's pals hatched a plan to hide her luxury mattress, telling her that viewers had voted for the housemate that they wanted to lose it.

Kerry voiced her frustrations after the incident, resorting to using the word 'gay' in a problematic manner, saying: "Well, this is gay."

Olivia and Jenkin had to eventually come clean and reveal the prank as Kerry was adamant to take the issue to the Big Brother bosses to retrieve her precious mattress.

Living in the most scrutinised house in the UK, her slip of the tongue didn't go unnoticed.

The 40-year-old has faced backlash on social media over her behaviour in the house, with viewers taking to Twitter (recently rebranded to X) to express their outrage and calling on producers to axe her.

"There is nothing wrong with the word gay itself but the problem is the context in which Kerry used it.," one viewer posted on X after the incident.

"Oh, of course #Kerry uses gay as a derogatory word," another viewer noted.

…of course it’s using it as a criticism and negative …but I can’t see that expressing outrage and calling for Kerry to be axed is an appropriate response either…so a response to inappropriate is looking at an inappropriate response ….

[vesavius]

Not a fan of her but hardly the crime of the century.

Hardly 'homophobic'

Would take a miracle to save her from eviction this week though

[caprimint]

Can't stand her but this is so ridiculous. We need to stop being offended by words.

It's the principal of it , if Kerry & Paul's conversations are getting edited out ....then it's not really fair.

[Northern Monkey]

Oh God. X formerly known as Twitter would explode if anyone used a real slur. Imagine a Ken Morley incident now? People would be asking for his head. I don’t think anyone controversial like Jim Davidson would even get in CBB these days.

Oh I'd forgotten all about Ken, when he kept going on about how much he enjoyed looking at the women's 'arses'
