- Coolio refusing to refer to Nadia as a she and calling her 'he', and more hurtfully, 'it', directly to her and other housemates.
- Frequently asking whether Nadia still had male parts despite warnings from Big Brother.
- Deliberately elbowing Nadia painfully in the back while walking past during a dinner.


It's impossible these things happened and no one watching LF made a HUGE DRAMATIC THREAD of it...so I don't know where to stand.

I was surprised by Davina's "boyish" jibe, though. It was so uncharacteristic it didn't register at first. It's as bad as the crap you read around here.

That's exactly what I think too .. the look of shock on Nadia's face when she was evicted said it all .. she was dumbfounded that the public had voted her out .. yes, defo a case of sour grapes, imo.

Not necessarily, LF isn't live, it's on a 15 minute delay so can be edited quite easily. We only see what they want us to see and quite often there are sound cuts.

Nadia Overreacting?? Surely not!!

Nadia's one of those dreadfully dramatic people who feel they can dish out any cruel, bitchy, rude comment to anyone they please. But the minute someone is even midly critical of her, it's a MASSIVE DRAMA! I'm sure having lived the life she has, she's had to deal with quite a bit of flack. You'd think she'd be better equipped to deal with it really, instead of going apoplectic everyone someone looks at her sideways.

In the DR they did say to Coolio his behaviour had been poor towards Nadi before, and that he was unlikely to change. I thought they WANTED him out......but has Nadia over- egged this via Marco?

Here's the full post by Marco:

Davina is NOT a bitch at all,BB would never be the same without her,and how nasty to insinuate that she will be back on drugs soon!!! and YOU are calling HER for what she said,lol,pot calling kettle,comes to mind.naqdia should never have gone back if she is that unstable,I am sure worse has been said to her/him in the big wide world!

Yeah, she is a millionarie and has a number of shows on the run, she is just going to go back on drugs. Never mind the shows she is on.. how f'ing stupid is that? FFS man. Wise up.

It's a REALITY show FFS. Even if it was just a ****ty quick gameshow, it's still a very offensive comment.

Oh dear, they are obviously trying to work out how to make money after her losing.
Sour grapes I think, Nadia was a shocked as hell when her name got called out. If she is as sensitive as that , she should never have gone into BB house.

[Livia]

With all the bad stuff going on in the world, the outrage about a stupid remark, made to someone who's probably heard it - and worse - allllllllllllllllll before, is laughable. If you want to get all self-righteous about people being oppressed, pick a more deserving target, why don't you.

I totally agree. I expect things have been said to a lot of housemates recently and in the past. Trust Nadia to start complaining.

If these allegations are true then she was seriously harassed, provoked and then mis-represented. Davina's comments are not the problem, they just add insult to injury, but maybe Davina wasn't aware of what went on either. And other posters do have a point about there being a hierarchy of what is deemed offensive, with anything against blacks being at the top of the list by far.

Last time she was in the house. People in the house did not know about her past. The fact remains that at the time russel Brand made jokes about her in BBBM. The audience and many of the guests did also. Nobody said a thing.

In the first 3 or 4 weeks every person who left the house was told that Nadia used to be a man. The show and Davina got flack for this. Then she just stopped doing it. No apology or anything. bo select (a channel 4 programe) made fun of it. As did Graham Norten. Ok for a gay man to make such comments. She got much, much more flack at the time because she used to be a man. But now it is a problem. excepted by the public 6 years ago, yea right. She was excepted as the publics freak. Had Nadia found out what Russel Brand and others had said at the time, and cried. It would be different.

The main reason people liked her back then is because an obnoxious, rude, childish person is ok in the eys of the public. As long as the glam up and call themselves a diva. This time she did not glam up as much, and even looked a bit scruffy at times. So people did not like her. That woman who phoned in said "why did you not have heels in the show or glam up" Davina agreed with this. So it would have been ok if she did.

[LexDex]

I am disgusted Coolio bullied Nadia like that! She should have mentioned it in the Interview with Davina. Why did BB turn on her? She is a BB Icon. I knew there was more to it than just some hidden shoes.

[30stone]

This is bull crap.

1 it isnt "transphobic"
2 im sure nadia has had much much worse thrown at her!

Shes just playing up now.

Nadia needs to grow a set.

Its hardly THAT offensive. Don't be so PC about it.

She does. But everytime they do she goes back to the surgeon complaining of a growth.

[Jamietwo]

collios impression of nadia was very very funny, but he was not intelligent enough to deal with her in any way other than to become aggressive and derisive of her gender. His ego and insane narcissistic personality was hurt and challenged. 10 years ago he might have got away with having fear and respect shown him for being a black rapper, but people are long since tired of that loud mouth american ghetto BS

[stoney]

the good old "I was badly editted EXCUSE"

Nadia was a horrid nasty person when she "won" BB5. It was only because of her "secret" and "journey" that a lot of people felt sorry for her and voted for her over the nasty, NOT, jungle cats

Is she now running for sainthood with her head cheerleader of that clapping seal, marco, as her insperation

But as usual its always someone else's fault

[_Seth]

She DID get edited badly FFS. How many times? Loads of abuse was left out which explains why Nadia went mental.

[fruit_cake]

Davina can dish it out, but can she take it?? i'm not so sure, why else would she escape to live in
rural france????

[Puff]

My main impression of Nadia came from her appearance on Aus BB. From that appearance I really liked her. Nadia's behaviour in this BB may have been in the drama queen/diva area and unacceptable, however, for Davina to make those comments is fairly stupid. It may be a popular stance for Davina to take but, as I understand Davina was a fan of Nadia's up until now, fairly cruel. I guess knowing which buttons to push with someone doesn't mean you need to do so.

[SFGiantsfan]

Nadia needs to get over herself her 15 minutes are up.
