Tila's comments were anti-semetic and nazi sympathizing and this HAS to be seen as an extreme. It's truly shocking to me that some people on this forum are making light of the incredibly dangerous and offensive things she's said, as if it's just some silly little thing that slipped out, or comparable with comments other controversial HM's have made in the past.
It's good that she has since retracted her comments, of course it is. And I hope she's happy and brings up her child well. But I still think that someone who has the capacity to say the things she said should never be celebrated in a public way like Big Brother. The fact that she made those comments will never go away, that's just the nature of media, and for young people and the impressionable to see someone who will always be associated with nazi-ism being celebrated and applauded is dangerous.

I 100% agree with you that it is not ok to let murderers/paedophiles etc into the house, ignoring their offensive crimes in the name of entertainment.
I don't however think that Tila broke the law. Nor do i think she is an actual nazi sympathiser. Clearly, she just made an appalling error of judgment in her past attempts to be 'controversial', (just like prince harry's nazi fancy dress costume) and it's something she now regrets. It wasn't illegal what she said or did, AND she regrets it, but how long do we go on punishing someone for errors in these circumstances, years after the event?
BB should have sorted this out LONG before letting her enter.
For the record, i 100% do not condone her comments/actions.
