Look at how big Katie Hopkins is ,she even almost won CBB .

Katie Hopkins is legitimately cancelled now though, after her "final solution" comments. She hasn't had a single day of mainstream paid work in years and has been relegated to appearing on far right podcasts screaming into the echo chamber.

What about FARAGE getting 1.5mil to appear in the Jungle , ITV is giving the BBC a run for their money in the sleazy hypocrisy stakes.

People keep advertising this show on TiBB in comments. I may end up watching it. It's quite gross here weather wise and I won't have anything to watch soon. I am that kind of person if you tell me not to look at something, I am going to look at it right away... and maybe document it by writing copious notes :laugh:

I think that they're likely to be real tbh.

But I don't believe that Trish holds any real ill will towards the Asian community, I just think that she's one of those Twitter users who loves to attention seek on the site, and saying racist **** will draw a lot of attention to you.:laugh:

And tbh her Justin Bieber comment in 2012 was basically what everyone was saying about Bieber back then, we're all bad people according to some of these people kicking up a stink about that particular Tweet from Trish.

We have libel laws for a reason and it’s not been proven that they are genuinely her tweets as yet

Bringing the law into this, didn't you know that we can accuse people of anything and it's okay because it's free speech.:fist:

Weird joke aside, you really should've been on Twitter when the Huw Edwards stuff was happening, I think Rylan Clark and Gary Lineker even claimed that they were going to sue certain people who were heavily implying them two as liking kids.

My point being that unfortunately some people try to use the free speech argument on the Internet so that they can commit libel.

It does seem hard to believe she'd be so against East Asian people, considering her best friend in BB was Chinese ,and she was good friends with Zak aswell . It felt like her friendships in the house were genuine, so I'm still trying to understand why she did it.

Even for attention why would someone who seemed so intelligent post so much crap online ?..... and not realise it can come back to bite her on the ass ?, her tweets were so incoherent and like the ramblings of an entirely different person to who we saw in the house. Even when 1 historic problematic tweet gets dragged up it can get someone in trouble,let alone who knows how many there is . The tweets just kept coming.

But I agree about the Bieber one ,she was literally copying and pasting a meme :rolleyes: , probably for a joke . I even heard a youtuber from Ukraine say the exact same thing about Bieber . So I would say this was the mildest comment she said.

The timing of it all being revealed is definitely interesting.

Literally after she comes out to cheers and is about to get her shot at being a Showbiz person, if you're right and it's a Catfish, then someone really holds a grudge against her.

And if it is fake, then I feel really bad for Trish.

Please check her recent instagram post @iambalusa.

I’m devastated

She made daft comments on the Internet.

I wouldn't let it cloud the positive traits that you saw in Trish.

Most people aren't 100% a monster, we're normally somewhere inbetween, and Trish has just shown that she's Human, which imo I see as a good thing.

If that Show can have on Hancock and Boy George, then Farage is fair to have on.

But I get your point to do with Trish.

I'm very tech savvy, but imho the best verification process is simply time...

I get the feeling internet sleuthing will become a more regular side-hobby for some in the BB fam/fanbase after the reaping this has been. In the past I was perfectly content never to become aware of what weird stuff was said by some rando HM before they were snapped up from the wild. Now it might become another dimension to the actual show...

I'd prefer people to Internet sleuth over actual crimes that need solving rather than trying to find controversial Tweets from BB contestants.

And good joke questioning about the apology being verified.:laugh:

Yeah the Bieber comment is people clutching at straws imo.

And I'm going to guess that Trish wants to be a Social Media influencer, and was maybe going down a PewDiePie path during his teen years with the "edgy" comments.

[Big Brother producers are investigating
how offensive and controversial social posts
by housemate Trish Balusa were not flagged
before she joined the show.

Most of the tweets in question - which fans have
criticised for using racist and
homophobic language
- were posted
more than 10 years ago.

In a statement on X, formerly Twitter,
she apologised, saying she was "deeply disappointed,
embarrassed and ashamed".

The 33-year-old from Luton was evicted from
the ITV2 show on Friday.

It was only after she left that the old posts
came to light. It looks like her former account
has been deleted, with the apology posted
from a new account in her name.

BBC News is choosing not to repeat the
language contained in some of the historical posts.

A spokesperson for the production company
behind Big Brother, Initial TV, said: "This weekend
we have been made aware of concerning
historical tweets.

"We are currently looking into why they were
not identified by the independent supplier
we engage to review the digital footprint
of potential housemates as part of
our pre-checks."

A planned appearance by Trish on
spin-off Big Brother: Late & Live, hosted by Will Best,
will not go ahead, a production source said.
Contestants who have been evicted usually
appear on the lively evening debate show.

Trish is said to be being supported as part
of the programme's welfare measures
for contestants.]

oh gosh and look how popular he is with all those subscribers, i never liked him and always thought he was too overrated. If that was her plan then it's massively backfired on her, as there were far too many tweets out there sadly.

Wow! Just when I thought that the BBC couldn't get more pathetic than they already are.

I actually find him funny personally.

But I agree with you that his strategy could never work these days from the ground up, as I think Trish has sadly found out the hard way.

Its a Valid Report.

I was not even looking for it.

It is a on their First Page of all the news

[Big Brother UK contestant Trish Balusa
has apologised and said there's
"no excuses" for historical tweets
in which she wrote derogatory comments
about the LGBT community and Asian people.


Balusa, 33, had become a fan favourite
in ITV's Big Brother reboot but was
evicted in a double elimination on
Friday night despite a fan-led campaign
calling for viewers to vote strategically
so she could win.

The posts on X, formerly known as Twitter,
only came to light once Balusa had left
the Big Brother house.

It looks as though the account they were
shared on has since been deleted.
Sky News has chosen not to include Balusa's posts.

Posting to a new account in her name
on Sunday, Balusa admitted her
historical tweets were "very concerning"
and said: "I would like to sincerely apologise
for the harmful stereotypes I perpetuated
and the pain I have caused to the
marginalised communities and groups
of people mentioned.


"There are no excuses for the ignorance
that I showed and I am deeply disappointed,
embarrassed and ashamed that I once
made such comments.

"I have come a very long way since by
educating myself and being educated
by others on the impact and harm
these views cause."]

How are ITV being hypocrotical?
They didn't remove Trish because of her tweets, she was voted out. Trish sadly has caused her own demise, its nothing to do with ITV. They have a duty to investigate as their internal procedures should have identified this and didn't but you are acting like they have done this, when they have had no hand in the finding of these tweets.

I agree that Farage is a contreversial signing but that has nothing to do with the current situation imo. If they had ejected her over the tweets and condemned her pubically, whilst they would have been right to do so, you may have a point about hypocrisy but they haven't done that.

Trish was a fave of mine but she has let herself down on this. Its on her, no-one else.

I know Trish wasn't removed but instead evicted. I'm talking about how ITV & BB have shunned her from taking part or having anything more to do with BB related stuff, whilst the same TV channel is putting Farage in the jungle for 1.5mill, but IAC is famous for putting in the most controversial celebs for ratings,they don't have any morals really. So it is hypocritical.

I don't condone Trish's tweets and yes she's held accountable,but the way producer's have handled all this ...has been badly. You would have thought they'd learn from BB19 . But no doubt scandals will keep happening,as nobody can be bothered to do background check before it gets to a embarrassing stage of too little too late .

…I’m thinking that Trish not being apart of any after the house stuff…?…is something that she wants as well…because its doubtful that any public attention would be good or positive or healthy for her…she just needs to be with her family and close friend circle now…and take some time away from the public, I would say…?…
