They can eject someone for tweets but keep a criminal in the same series??

[Denver]

Lewis admitted to going to prison for theft but he still allowed on the show so how is that fair??

[Aaliyah]

Sexist. A young male criminal is a hot felon, a bad boy. A female with an opinion shared by many? Eject her.


Disgusting, she was my favourite to win.

It's pretty inconsistent , but perhaps because he was upfront about his criminal past that's why they've let him off .

tbh i bet there's alot of housemates from previous bb's who have been to prison but we haven't been told :whistle: .

My goodness the reach. But I guess some ignorant people will go to lengths to justify their racism.

[poppsywoppsy]

Another tweet used the n word.

Goodnight, stupid girl.

[GoldHeart]

And difference being producers already know of Lewis' criminal past , and i think a few housemates in BB history will of gone to prison or had a criminal record.

Ellis apparently said something stupid on social media THIS YEAR aswell :facepalm: , So it's her own silly fault . I just hate how production don't check these things out . Like i said a more worthy housemate could of had that PLACE :nono: .

[Jordan.]

An ignorant tweet by a child vs actually criminal activity, the producers are a mess

[rusticgal]

Anything racist is a taken more seriously than anyone with a criminal record. They would have done full criminal checks on every housemate so Lewis would have to have come clean anyway.
I guess if her racist tweets were discovered...they didn't want to risk another 'N' bomb going down in the house.

why are you defending racism

[BBDodge]

If he'd admitted going to prison for a racially motivated offence would they have let him in?

[y.winter]

We've just had a cast full of people in the eye of a storm :eyes:

Actually I was referring to the whole "she posted an opinion a lot of people hold" in that post like- she was posting something inane like she likes chicken nuggets not something that clearly not only racist but ignorant on several levels (are people really that stupid they dont know the difference between the middle east and south asia?)

I mean tbh I was shocked they let an ex criminal in but I guess thats just me, I see your point and understand your reasoning. There was no excuse to miss this especially when it came to the likes to tila when she was pretty well known for her racist and bizarre outbursts, dont need a psych to tell anyone shes cray cray! I'm totally with you on the production, they are so half assed its unreal.

Dont peek in the other thread hon, theres a lot of that going on here :umm2:

'A Female with an opinion' - is that how you defend racists lol - because they're 'queens'

[Although I agree that she shouldn't have been removed, it's a social experiment for a reason some people have bad views]

[Brother Leon]

He served his time. Not sure why it should still be an issue.

[annabelindabee]

what did she actually say?

[Oliver_W]

Hadn't Professor Moody from BB11 been in prison, as well as a few others?

I guess BB is a bit like some jobs - spent criminal convictions are accepted, but public bouts of racism can endanger your position?

[thesheriff443]

It seems B.B. care more about what you say than what you do in the past, B.B. sponsors rule the roost, it’s all about making money.

[thesheriff443]

what did she actually say?

Said she was god.

[Robodog]

Lewis admitted to going to prison for theft but he still allowed on the show so how is that fair??

Basically this:

1. Police say they may no longer respond to burglaries due to budget cuts: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/11767419/Police-chief-warns-that-officers-may-no-longer-respond-to-burglaries.html

meanwhile...................

2. Police urge people to report 'non-crime' hate incidents: https://www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/south-yorkshire-police-relentlessly-mocked-after-urging-people-to-report-one-another-for-offensive-a3932131.html

So............

Ignoring ACTUAL CRIMES (burglaries) but focusing on 'non-crimes' (speech) !!!!

:conf:

[Vanessa]

But Lewis has turned his life around. And has been honest about his past.

[Tregard]

Pretty false equivalence given it's someone that has committed a crime but received punishment for it. Ellis wouldn't have been removed as punishment for her actions, she has been removed the producers felt she was a flight risk who could cause undue controversy.

Nick was also in prison :fist:

[rusticgal]

No... I suppose if he starts stealing from housemates they might regret their decision..:laugh:

[rusticgal]

You don't know for sure that he has turned his life around but hopefully he has. Many young people get in with the wrong crowd and get caught up with petty criminals regarding drugs/theft etc..
As for being honest about his past...he had to be in the knowledge that a full CRC would be done..

[Captain.Remy]

OK he went to prison, so what? He admitted to it, he did his time so let's give him a chance.

I would rather watch people like Nick or Lewis that at least paid for their mistakes than a messy racist hoe that thought she was being cute on Twitter. Bye bitch.
