Jack's future in the show in doubt after homophobic and racial slurs

[Denver]

I’M A Celebrity star Jack Maynard was forced to apologise for racist and homophobic slurs.

The YouTube sensation, 22, said he wanted to “do the internet proud” as he entered the ITV reality show.

But The Sun can reveal that on his official Twitter account he casually used the N-word and branded other users “retarded” and “********ts”.

In tweets dating back up to six years Jack, followed by 650,000 impressionable young fans, mocked gay men, called his friends the racist term and laughed at people with facial disfigurements.

In December 2012, he replied to two people using the phrase “retarded ********t”.

In another post in February 2013, he shot back at one critic: “hahaha shutup you ********t... By the way who hit you with a shovel?”

Jack Maynard has issued a full apology after we exposed the rant online
In one racist tweet, posted online in June 2011, he said he was “At alices with my n****s!” He also repeatedly calls people “retards”.

In one post he tweeted pics of people with deformities with comments “in his prime” and “Ahahahaha! Sooo funny!” On one image of a black man with bulging eyes he added: “looking greatttt!!”

As the ITV show launched to millions, Jack admitted the words he used were “inflammatory” and “insulting”.

A spokeswoman for the vlogger said: “Jack is ashamed of these tweets, many were deleted a long time ago.

"He would never use that language now and realises this kind of retaliatory, inflammatory, insulting language is completely unacceptable.”

An ITV spokeswoman said: “Jack has issued a full apology and has deleted the tweets that he sent.”
Josh Rivers, the editor of magazine Gay Times, was sacked last week for offensive tweets mocking gay people, homeless people and disabled children.

Why am I not at all suprised

[Wizard.]

Hmm trash!

[Maxxie.]

He was literally 16 or something when he said these ****ing tweets, give him a break! A lot of kids talk like this ngl, it’s not the most PC but a lot of people can be called ******s or ******* without any derogatory intent (providing they aren’t gay or disabled) it’s just an insult teenagers give to take away someones identity, doesn’t mean they think there’s anything wrong with gay or disabled people.

:laugh3: was he a kid?? when he said these things? he'll still get to the final i bet :bored: , so predictable . This reminds me of Zoella another typical youtuber who's said offensive stuff on social media but has a huge fanbase .

This is why i say Youtubers shouldn't be put on a pedestal and idolised . It doesn't surprise me Jack is another immature ignorant pratt who has no filter when he speaks especially on twitter where that seems to be the place idiots like to show their true colours , or put their foot in it repeatedly :notimpressed: .

The real issue is that so many youngsters look up to these youtubers like they're role models when really they're just desperate attention seekers who gained fame by posting random videos online and by screwing up the youtube algorithm with clickbait , over tagging and doing stupid pranks . you know all the typical run of your mill easy guide for dummy's for anyone to get famous on youtube :idc: .

I don't know much about him but i get immature vibes, even if he's changed it still doesn't look good saying those things on social media of all places .

so. age has nothing to with it, he said those vile words. 16 year olds are old enough to know what is right and what is wrong.

[GoldHeart]

The average normal person usually hasn't ! :laugh2: . The stupid culture we have now though is everyone thinks it's somehow cool to use derogatory words and then use the excuse of "it's just a joke bro" :bored: . I think it's pathetic . Everywhere online trolls use offensive insults .

And it doesn't help when you hear it in songs , and from other youtubers and celebrities of different ethnicities saying it thinking it's ok just because they're black or mixedrace etc . When the truth is it's never ok no matter what colour you are :facepalm: seriously set a good example jeeez.

I've heard some people online and tv etc who can't even construct a sentence without using the N word literally every second and it's tedious to listen to :nono: .

I don't really see how age is relevant?

I'm 17 (ha ha! so mature) and I'd never dare say that out loud, let alone tweet it for the whole world to see (maybe the fact I'm also gay and disabled has a part to play in that, or maybe it's because I learnt right from wrong and knew not to say anything offensive back in me wee primary school days all that time ago!)

The people my age who uses that language are scummy people in attitude and personality and there's very few people that use it, since people learn right from wrong at an early age. Hell, even if he was 12, I'd still hold him accountable. But the fact he was at an age were he was practically an adult and he thought it was acceptable to say those slurs is just unacceptable.

Did he mean offence? Well given the context of many (for example, to the reporter) of the tweets, he did. I remember Tom got a lot of flack during BB18 for a few throwaway comments with a gay slur, and while I'm still against what he said and I'm not saying it's "better", at least he didn't say them in a way which was intentionally offensive (as in, he didn't say that with the intent of hurting, despite the fact it's offensive as ****), whereas Jack here used them as insults, and given they're already offensive and he's repeatedly used them (I swear Tom used the word once, maybe twice?) I just can't possibly excuse him.

Could he have changed and realised what he said was wrong? Probably, four/five years changes a person, especially so young, but that doesn't change the fact he's said them and has been so vile and hasn't apologised (nor has he proven he's actually changed), so I'll forever have a low opinion on him until he does something about this

Honestly? I think me being exposed to the nation as a Big Brother fan on a Big Brother fansite would be more embarrassing than ANYTHING I ever said here. And I've exposed my entire life RAW in the chat threads (as you'd probably be aware hah OOPS!)

Also "one of these shows"... reality tv or a celeb show?

If we are honest most have us have done and said things we shouldn't when we were young ,name calling whatever it is is offensive to someone,and why don't the producers of these shows do their research before they pick the contestants before they go in:shrug:

He used language? Off with his head or at least throw him in Prison.

Tbh in today’s culture with youth there’s a big difference with the phrases “n***a” and “******.” I don’t agree with white people using either of those words but that doesn’t mean they don’t. I still don’t see it as racism though, just ignorance.

Considering I had to star the first word myself and it didn’t censor it automatically says something.

Nobody should say it regardless of race as it just muddies the water :nono:. It just makes people sound stupid and ignorant :bored: .

And it will always be offensive and it's now got to the stage where you don't know if someone is joking or being racist, because racists themselves pronounce it the same way people do who refer to their friends as that :facepalm: .

So its the same word which ever way you look at it and it shouldn't be one rule for one and one for another :nono: .

The politician going in probably just pressured ITV /producers even more to kick Jack out .
Is IAC trying to say they have more morals and decency?? :joker: or are they just scared of the bad press? :think: . I guess IAC still tries to pass itself as a family ISH show .

shows like BB don't have any standards and all kinds of controversial scumbags have gone on that show as they enjoy the ratings and the stir it will cause , some of them have even won or come close to winning :bored: .
