Emily ejected from Big Brother following racial comment

Disgraced EmilyOh dear, it only took eight days before racism reared its ugly head once again in the Big brother house. It happened late last night during a conversation between Emily and Charley. Emily with only 19 years of wisdom behind her deemed it necessary and ok to call Charley a nigger. With the UK version under so much scrutiny following the Shilpa Shetty row with chav Jade Goody it was inevitable that the producers would not take her comments lightly.

 

She is a stupid girl and was a consistent presence in the major rows to erupt in the house in the last few days. I for one am glad she has gone and if this is a true reflection on how she feels she should be ashamed of herself. As I haven’t seen the comment yet (to be shown tonight on C4 highlights) I cannot judge.

Emily: (referring to Charley dancing/pushing her hips forward) You pushing it out you nigger.
Nicky: (shocked laughter) Em, I can’t believe you said that.
Charley: You are in trouble.
Emily: Don’t make a big thing out of it then. I was joking.
Charley: I know you were… but that’s some serious shit, sorry.
Emily: Why?
Charley: Oh my god. I’m not even saying it.
Nicky: Just don’t talk about it any more.
Emily: I was joking
Charley: Do you know how many viewers would watch that?
Nicky: Okay, don’t make a big deal out of it.
Charley: Fancy you saying that. I can’t believe you said that.
Emily: Somebody has already used that word in this house.
Charley: No way. (Pause) Yeah, me. I’m a nigger.

 

Nicky laughs.
