Are Rex & Darnell guilty of sexual harassment?

[MrGaryy]

Um, no!

I'm not sure you know the meaning of sexual harassment!

[Very_Nayce]

Oh give over. Yes what Darnell said was nasty but now people are going too far. Sexual harrasment? Give me a break.

[Very_Nayce]

The three people [so far] who have voted yes must be off their heads on hallucinogenics to say a guy being a tosser slagging a woman off is grounds for sexual harrasment.

[brandstifter]

Official Government definition:

"Abusive name calling
Looks and comments about appearance, attractiveness, emerging puberty
Inappropriate and uninvited touching
Sexual innuendoes and propositions
Pornographic material, graffiti with sexual content
In its most extreme form, sexual assault or rape"

With all due respect – and resisting the temptation to rise to your obvious provocation - I think it may actually be your good selves who are unclear on the definition. Darnell, as you know, is clearly guilty of the first four (on numerous occasions). Still, at least he hasn’t committed ‘sexual assault or rape’. Yet. :thumbs:

Their are a huge amount of people from all walks of life who become drunk or thick and make themselves guilty of the first four though. But nobody calls it sexual harrasment unless they take life as seriously as they take themselves. They just call it being a tosser.

What a joke!! This is sick! bb would have kicked them both out by now!

People dont get chucked out for acting an ass. Yes they were in the wrong but theirs no need to take it THAT serious.

Whats more disheartening is the lack of people who stood up for Sara.

[brandstifter]

“Their [sic] are a huge amount of people form all walks of life who become drunk or thick and make themselves guilty of the first four though. But nobody calls it sexual harrasment [sic] unless they take life as seriously as they take themselves.”

You've just described blatant sexual harassment, going on both common sense and the official definition. And in fact, many people do call it that! How sad and disturbing that you think the behaviour you’ve outlined is acceptable. You give men a bad name and set your children (if you have any) an disgraceful example. :bored:

Blatant sexual harassment. Slightly sad that you think the behaviour you’ve outlined is acceptable. You give men a bad name and set your children (if you have any) an disgraceful example. :bored:
I never said it was acceptable. So you are wrong on that count straight away. Get off your high horse will you? Yes Darnell was a complete arse, but its not something i would take him to a court of law over.

Dont you dare tell me I give men a bad name just because your opinion differs from mine. I have no time for your pseudo-righteous morals.

[30stone]

No but Darnell deserves a warning for the whole picking on sara

rex got one before so they shoul dgive darnell one.

I agree with you on that. Housemates have be warned for less in the past.

[andyman]

lol some people must live in a nanny world! Darnell and rex were having bit of banter and sara was loving... Later she goes "woe is me" what a daft lil vile trout!

[brandstifter]

“Dont [sic] you dare tell me I give men a bad name just because your opinion differs from mine. I have no time for your pseudo-righteous morals.”

Yes, shame on me for respecting women! As for “Don’t you dare…”, it’s easy to threaten people on here, knowing you’ll never meet them. Well done. Mind you, at least resorting to threats of violence shows you haven’t lost the argument! :wavey:

[brandstifter]

"Darnell and rex were having bit of banter and sara was loving"

My God, Andyman, I bet you're a big hit with the ladies!

Get off your moral highhorse will you? I never mentioned violence. ''Dont you dare'' is a figure of speech. I never followed it up with an ''or else''.

Also, I do have respect for women. Dont insinuate that I dont, beause its getting old. Just because I would not call it sexual harrasment.

I suggest telling what you have told me to the majority of the forum who have agreed with me and voted 'NO' in the poll.

Its quiet pathetic that you are trying to degrade me like this just because I disagree with you on it being sexual harrasment.

Had Sara complained it as Sexual Harrasment, Darnell would be out of their by now.

[brandstifter]

"Yeah but whats that got to do with my kn0b? It fell of ma door! Mi guvna gunna knock ma block off!"

Andyman, on the "BB 9: THIS WEEK'S TWIST; FOUND IT" board. Good to know we're debating with such an intellectual giant.

[_Seth]

Nor really. :ermm:

[brandstifter]

Oookay, so you've decided that Darnell and Rex haven't been guilty at an point of "abusive name calling", "comments about appearance [or] attractiveness", "inappropriate and uninvited touching" or "sexual innuendoes and propositions" (see definition of sexual harassment above). Thanks for clearing that up for me! :xyxwave:

[jarvis]

This was a very ominous piece of television and if witnessed in any other context would have set alarm bells ringing. Imagine two guys in a bar for example, having the same conversation with a single, uncomfortable female. While Sarah denied she was bothered by their threatening behaviour, her body language was completely incongruent with this. Given Rex’s apparent need to overpower females and Darnell’s grudge against females for his own self deprecation, Sarah was a sitting duck. Channel 4’s lack of intervention was also fairly sinister. The casual way in which 2 over powering males are broadcast threatening a lone female in a sexual manner is reprehensible. There will be many viewers out there, as this board demonstrates, that believe this to be acceptable behaviour.

I couldn't agree more - I watched the 'highlights' show last night in horror - how could Channel 4 and co let that carry on? Jade Goody and Co were in big trouble for suppossed 'racism' so why are these 'men' being allowed to insult a woman? Dont forget Mo as well offering Cider and Fags for kisses! :yuk: They shouldall be removed from the house asap - they are a disgrace.

[NettoSuperstar!]

It is blatant sexual harrassment, Im glad someone pointed that out, theyre treating her like a piece of meat just cos shes flirty! If that was happening in a workplace they would be sacked! noone deserves to be treated like that. If sara was a man he'd be a player but cos shes a woman shes been totally disrespected.

Theyre constantly calling her a slut or similar

they make reference to sexual stuff all the time, telling her to get her tits out etc.

Mo trying to get off with her for cider.

you can tell shes uncomfortable with it, its absolutely disgusting and if you think its not sexual harrassment then I wouldnt want to live in your world

[BBkid]

You are REALLY WEIRD, of course it's not sexual harassment.:devil:

[kjago]

Rex never said anything that bad, it was Darnell who was using the abusive language. Rex than apologised for anything he may have said but Darnell just sat there.

Darnell and Mo have been the worst

[NettoSuperstar!]

At least Rex apologised when he realised he'd gone too far

[susieb1]

absolutely the worst case of sexual harrasement i have ever seen.why cant people see how rex is the ring leader he is one evil piece of ---- he gets a kick out of making girls cry even his own girlfriend darnel is socially challenged and is being egged on by rex i say throw them both out .

[doranbilly]

i agree if it was racial he would have been gone by now

[susieb1]

the only reason rex aplolgised is because he knew he had gone to far and could well be making himself unpopular didnt you hear his comment about sarah loving c--k how bad us that.

[susieb1]

yes jade goody got thrown out for some silly ignorant comments these guys know what they are doing as sarah is a white female its being allowed to carry on.

Technically, yes. It probably covers the guidelines for what is considered sexual harassment. However. If Sara went into a police station and said "some boys called me some names"... well, she'd be laughed out.

Just because something technically means it's an offence, doesn't mean it's actually an offence.

Infact, I'm rather glad the police don't commit time to women complaining about small name calling. Comforting, some might say.

So no.

[ruination]

Andyman, your picture is distracting me.

Where did you get that?

Are you sexually harrassing me???

Rex never called her a ugly bitch or a slut he even told Darnell he had gone to far Rex was having a banter with her he said to Sara you should throw it back at us Darnell was way over the top all because he fancies Sara and she rejected him as for Mo he was the worst trying to get kisses for fags and cider that is the worst case of a desperate guy if ever there was one he is vile so please do not bring Rex into this as he was not serious the other two were

Its constant name calling and comments aout her of a sexual nature telling her she loves cock, to get her tits out, trying to make her kiss them for cider, and generally treating her like a piece of meat, for days on end. not just small name calling its sexual harrassment!

EXACTLY! But that automaticaly makes you an evil person in support of Darnell & Rex in the pretentious topic creators eyes.

Come to think of it, that copy of nuts under my bed might make me guilty of sexual harrasment!

Its insane. I bet we could find a lawsuit for a member insulting another member if we wanted to, but nobody bothers.

[DOGSMOTHER]

Amazed BB have not intervened!

[marydoll]

I have just watched last nights bb and im disgusted at the way sara was treated. They ganged up on her and humiliated her. she looked really uncomfortable with what they were saying but probably too scared to make a big thing of it. Sexual comments directed only to her and personal to her and comments of calling her ugly and a slut were out of order. Would Darnell, Rex or Mo be able to take 3 people ganging up on one of them i bet they wouldnt. Im not a great fan of sara but i really felt for her watching this, i wanted to shout back at them for her. I think rex only apologised cos he knew how bad it would have looked to the public and was saving his own face. What i also cant understand why when they were in the living area and they were still at it to her, why did no one step in and say anything to stick up for her.:mad:

It was more than just insulting its sustained bullying of a sexual nature thats been going on for days

OMG WHAT A FIRST CLASS PR!CK WHO POSTED THIS GET A LIFE SADDACT

[mmj]

Are Rex & Darnell guilty of sexual harassment? well if this was a workplace then of course they would be, and what they did was not nice but fyi this is an adult gameshow where the contestants understand that this is an unpopularity contest, and darnell just climbed to the top of his own volition albeit with a bit of encouragement from rex - we just need to watch as he falls in disgrace.... boo!!!

sarah was upset but held her own in front of them and is a grown woman who knew what she was doing when she entered the competition - good on her for standing up to them so well:cheer:

[Bubs]

I don't think it is sexual harrassment at all. I just think it is a classic case of bruised ego from Darnell, he just cannot take it that Sara didn't reciprocate his feelings towards her and he needs to get over it. As for Rex well Rex is Rex and tbh I don't think anything he said to her was all that bad that's just his humour and I think Sara knew hence why she wasn't too bothered with him more so with Darnell.

[ange7]

At least we can see now that some people are so damaged that they think this is OK or worse ..deserved.

"However. If Sara went into a police station and said "some boys called me some names"... well, she'd be laughed out."
WOW ... sustained group sexual harassment = "some boys called me some names" It's not OK in the work place ..you do get the sack for being a scumbag. Why is it ok now on BB?...( ...Technically)

This was wonderful ...
"Infact, I'm rather glad the police don't commit time to women complaining about small name calling. "oh it's Lauren again representing for the sisterhood! wow sexual harassment = "small name calling" !! and what's you weasle word code for rape =... involuntary sleepy time bumps?
see how long this one stays up..
