Alesha Dixon’s Black Lives Matter necklace on BGT sparks complaints...
 

...I mentioned in the other thread that it would be interesting to se IF.../...and IF has become...yes, some complaints received...


Some 1,675 complaints have been made about last weekend’s Britain’s Got Talent episode, which saw judge Alesha Dixon wear a Black Lives Matter necklace.

Broadcasting watchdog Ofcom said the majority of the complaints related to Dixon’s three-tier necklace, which featured the letters B, L and M in gold.

An Ofcom spokeswoman said: “We are assessing these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.”

Following Saturday night’s pre-recorded show, Dixon shared a video on Instagram showing the necklace in full as she applied make-up.

It comes after Diversity’s dance routine on the ITV show, inspired by the anti-racism movement, sparked more than 24,500 complaints to Ofcom as of last week.

The routine saw a dancer playing a white police officer kneel on Ashley Banjo, echoing the killing of unarmed black man George Floyd in US, while other dancers performed with police riot shields.

As Banjo lay on the floor while the police officer handcuffed him, other dancers crowded around with smartphones as if to film and take photos of the incident.

exactly


lol if people are that easily triggered about a necklace :laugh3:

So what's the excuse this time?.. can't be the artistic representation of violence, so what's upset a handful of viewers now?

no excuses, just shows how pathetically easily triggered GBP viewers are

britain doesn't deserve light entertainment shows anymore if public cannot keep their mouths shut

...most GBP viewers don’t complain though, Nicky...it can’t be generalised like that...we do deserve light entertainment, please don’t take that from us because that wouldn’t be deserved...:sad:..

true, but those who do complain can better no longer watch anything on tv :laugh:

i don't watch the show, so i don't care .... she certainly hasnt broken any broadcasting guidelines to my knowledge. People can and will complain about anything, and they do .... it doesn't affect me

because they love the attention they can seek with it

cannot remember if people in my country ever complain about shows here lol

Didn't anyone tell the racists ofcom didn't give a ****e the first time they complained about BLM :shame:

people complained about Hollys excessive boobage on DOI, they will literally complain about anything, its too easy to do it online, if they had to post a letter Ofcom would be out of business

Racists gonna racist, I guess. Stay triggered by three letters.

also typing is easier than writing :fan:

I ate those blaks doin the dancing fing . britis and prowd.


sincereally yours

That's a good point you know - make it mail-in only. Even with a freepost address, only people who are really determined to make a complaint would bother so it would be more likely to be an actual serious complaint, and not just a load of people following a link that got sent 'round twitter.

yep

walk to the postbox! I don't think so!

:fan:

She is a Bloody Trouble Maker.

.............and in comes Arista to reframe it.

I don’t mind as she isn’t bringing it to our attention, as in not pointing at it and screaming BLM!!! I don’t get why people complained, again.

bitch

Amanda will be fuming, she is usually the one who gets complained about with her revealing outfits :laugh:

Cocky bitch; get it right.

Did anyone cry when she wore a crucifix? Any Jews, Muslims, or atheists feel the need to complain?

Anyone ever complained about a gospel act or song?

On what grounds were they complaining? People are allowed to wear Poppies etc so why not a BLM necklace?

Oh god, don’t open the poppies can of worms

Because everything we've ever done militarily has been perfect in the eyes of the gallahads that have an issue with black people trying to claim equal rights.

I know, I know but people generally don't even get to chose to not wear a poppy if they don't want to, the amount of backlash you'd get for not wearing one

It actually amazes me that there’s people out there that will complain about a necklace someone wore on a TV program?? :confused:

If you’re complaining because of a BLM necklace, you really need to have a think about the kind of person you are

Give it a rest with blanket insults nicky

one post after that one i sorted that out, i meant the ones complaining to no longer watch entertainment shows


it's really getting too silly these complaints

If you look on her insta. The comments on her photo of it are ridiculously racist! Its awful

Oh well, at the end of the day it's those racists looking like the fools in the end

And these same people are the same types to use the word snowflakes about others. Strange world :laugh:

The ironing is delicious

...do you recall the little ironing smilie that Niamh would keep and post now and again...

Some people are so pathetic smh.

Ridiculous ain’t it? :laugh:

Racism??? On social media????
