I really hope that this is true!

OFCOM to investigate allegations of racial abuse by that hooligan Coolio. They'd do better to investigate his bullying and his lame attempts to justify it!

I just posted in another thread about his behaviour towards Mutya last night and to me that was the step over the line. He has no right to touch or manhandle anyone else

And water down BB? Might aswell watch CBeebies!!
No BB fan should want Ofcom to stick their nose into BB, will only make it lame and force BB to treat the housemates like kids! We will never have the same BB again that we all love thanks to Ofcom and Channel 4 walking on eggshells!!

Ofcom can Of-off!!

if they had dealt with it properly in Jade's case, OfCom would never have been used in this way. Although BB's disregard for voters with the whole Nikki thing was when people first realised they didnt have to accept it, and once the dam was broken.

Before I read about what he has done with Mutya last night, I would have said I want him out but there was no reason to kick him out,with the caveat.... from what they have shown us, but now I think he has crossed the line

Even though a dislike Coolio, I completely agree. It's becoming less and less like "reality" TV.

it was never "reality" from series one. Why else have they always had a "story editor"? They created a winner in the first seies to suit their need and chose to ignore some of the most revolting thing he did and it has always been the case since. In fact BB is about the only thing where technology has been used that year after year has been removed and cut back. That was their biggest mistake. They allowed us to see too much, especially on BB2 and since then they have cut back on it.

I didn't say it was reality in the first place but it's moving further away from the concept it originally stood for. Since CBB5, you can tell the producers are trying to stifle the behaviour of the housemates. If BB5 was post-CBB5 it would have been taken off the air after Fight Night.

Thats going a bit off the point. One thing I dont do on this forum is give one word responses to other folk who pose a point. It was a nice little post though and im sure we all got a little laugh.

Its getting stupid now, I don't get why people are complaining
The show will be even more cautious now, its getting to the point now that the housemates can't even do the slightest thing which annoys the public.

People need to set their dislike of a television character away from actualy being offended. Im betting most complained because they just happen to think Coolio is a bit of a twat. He is, but the show would be better off without Ofcom compaints!

It depends what you define as bullying. As for as I' aware bullying can be mentally physically or vocal, or any mixture of them.

Ofcom investigating Celebrity Big Brother.

Friday, 16 January 2009

'Celebrity Big Brother' is being investigated by broadcast watchdog Ofcom following complaints from viewers about housemate Coolio.

The US Rapper has proved a controversial character since entering the house, and has been accused of using violent behaviour and language - including the word n****r - as well as reducing housemates to tears and bragging about carrying guns.

Click here to go to our Celebrity Big Brother Photo Gallery >

A spokesperson for Ofcom said: "I can confirm we have had complaints about Wednesday's (14.10.09) show over issues concerning Coolio. We will be investigating."

'Celebrity Big Brother' bosses are said to be doing all they can to prevent another race row, following the backlash from the show in 2007 which saw Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara shamed for their bullying of Indian Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty. The show was pulled from schedules the following year as a result.

Viewers have accused producers of double standards and favouritism toward Coolio because of his star status, citing housemate Alexandra DeGale's removal from the non-celebrity house in 2008 for aggressive behaviour as an example.

Big Brother fan sophieyk2, writing on website forum thisisbigbrother.com, said: "They got rid of Alexandra for the way she spoke to people. She was intimidating and so is Coolio. BB should not be condoning his behaviour. Double standards I think."

For the latest Celebrity Big Brother news click here >

The show's first evictee, glamour model Lucy Pinder also accused producers of editing Coolio's worst behaviour out of the TV show.

She said: "I think the public should know what he is really like. A lot is not being shown. I cannot understand why he hasn't been called in and given a proper warning."

A spokesperson for 'Celebrity Big Brother' says the housemates are monitored at all times and insists none of the contestants have directly complained about Coolio's behaviour.

Their is a world of difference of difference between Alexandra and Coolio. Anybody who takes anything he says seriously needs to get out more. Seriously.

I never disliked Coolio at the beginning. In fact I thought he would be amusing and annoying, therefore great BB watching. He is however a bully, a sexist pig and calls Tina fat. He was all over Mutya and she was far from enjoying the attention. What a sleaze. That is all bullying. I am not a great fan of Tina either, but she has lost a lot of weight with a bit of help and she is still losing it. It is nasty to call someone fat and he means it nastily.
I do not think everything in the show should be scrutinized, but he should be reprimanded.

Who cares if she's lost weight? Under most circumstances, making someone's weight the butt of jokes in the house, would be off limits.

Tina happens to raid the fridge.

He had Michelle breaking down every five seconds and wouldn't let up. He has said some of the worst things in the house possible to people.

Coolio IS a bully. He makes for good tv though.:laugh2:
