Fey, the word 'bark' is not rude, you actually barking at people is rude.

"not tyring the gatekeep the food"... That's exactly what you did.

And playing the race card over it while squeezing a tear out... Awful woman. Every stereotypical cliche of the modern progressive rolled into one. A virtue bully.

All the following 'too soon to talk to her' bullshit as well.. Good grief.

…yeah, I mean…yeah, that wasn’t good at all…there is a lot of Fey that I’m finding difficult atm and she seems to be struggling also…

She's pathetic. Awful woman. We need more newbies to challenge her group

Last year Hanah also got upset at Khaled for making her out to be aggressive:

The only thing that I'll say (and I didn't agree with Khaled calling Hanah aggressive last year) is Feyisola was kinda being authoritarian (which is even worse than aggressive in my view) and what if a black woman is ever aggressive on Big Brother, are Housemates not allowed to call it out?

Some common sense does need to come back into modern BB.

Teja unfortunately just parrots whatever Feyisola says.

Poc/black women get dehumanised all the time, Cameron did nothing wrong but Feyisola has a right to be upset too, it looked like it brought up difficult feelings or memories from her past. She even told Cameron it wasn't what he did and that her reaction was from trauma. I think Caroline was way more problematic in the episode.

Not true at all, she's very mature and intelligent, she can speak for herself.

I have no doubt that she's got those qualities to a point.

But I do think that her age is showing where Feyisola is concerned.

I don't know what Zelah's excuse is for being Feyisola's lapdog though, but he is costing himself the Show by being in that toxic double act.

That's a microaggession because "dog" is often used as an insult towards women, so you're invading his transition

Woof.

I really feel the whole 'microaggression' thing has gone too far now so that people are constantly reading meaning into things when it isn't there. I understand that sometimes things have racial connotations and we need to be mindful of that but now people are over interpreting things to the nth degree so that almost anything can be a microaggression. It's becoming counterproductive, both from the perspective of people feeling unnecessarily offended and also from the damage it does to ordinary well-meaning people who are suddenly accused of covert racism

Even Reddit is fully against Feyisola which is quite a shock!

No she doesn't have a right to be upset. Trying to paint someone as a racist when they're clearly not is a nasty, irresponsible thing to do

Crazy overeaction.

[OnTheRight]

She is vile.

[Lostie!]

Using terms that suggest aggression from black women when no aggression was presented has long been a contentious issue. Cameron of course didn't intend it in this way but Feyisola likely has a lived experience which makes her reactive to this kind of stuff. Because let's be honest, she didn't bark or shout.

That said, I wish she'd have not said "especially towards a black woman" behind his back because that made it seem like she was trying to paint him as racist when he evidently isn't, she should have waited to discuss it with him one on one and explained why she responded so emotionally to what he said. I was disappointed in what she said but I understood where it came from.

But I've no doubt the people who've been waiting for a reason to hate her will be holding onto this long after she and Cameron have made amends.

Show me how you know this, past wanting it to be true.

I'm commenting on the scene we saw on TV, as everyone else is

[Livia]

Plays the race card, fat-shames someone. Typical day in the BB house.
