Back in BB's heyday these kind of confrontations were just an average day in the house.

He threatened to knock Chris to the floor. That's plenty reason to give out a formal warning (or in his case since he already had one, the boot)

I do wonder had he not already received a warning before this incident, would the producers have thrown him out?!

Probably tbf. If he had punched Chris in the face, they'd be in danger of a potential big lawsuit from Chris.

It's a shame he's gone imo, but it was probably the best decision to remove him after that, just to be safe, i dunno.

Good old days

Seems relatively mild tbh from the transcript

I really don't like Chris at all.

He's definitely not suited for the pirate's life.

Chris is an idiot. Totally instigated that.

During today’s pirate-themed task, all the housemates gather in the garden. JoJo has been given the role of Captain and is in charge of steering the ship.

JoJo says, “Ahoy. How have things been going out here?”

Trisha responds, “There is a rat amongst us, Captain.”

JoJo says, “Step back in line, soldier.”

Chris steps out of line and looks at Mickey. Mickey steps out of line and confronts Chris.

JoJo says to Mickey, “Mickey… Ahoy.”

Mickey says to Chris, “You looking at me?”

JoJo says to Mickey, “Ahoy. You’re not the captain of this ship. Ahoy. Back up soldier.”

Mickey says to Chris, “Don’t eyeball me.”

Chris responds, “Mickey it was a joke, *******ing…”

Mickey says, “Don’t *******ing eyeball me. You *******.”

Danny and JoJo both try to diffuse the situation. Danny says, “He was joking. He was joking. He was joking.”

Chris says, “*******ing stand there.”

Mickey says, “What did he say?”

Danny says, “He was joking.”

Chris says, “Mickey, it was a joke.”

Big Brother says, “This is Big Brother. Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”

Mickey points to the ground and says, “No, your a** will be right there in a second.”

Big Brother says again, “Mickey, come to the diary room immediately.”

Mickey then heads to the Diary Room.

Following a conversation with Big Brother in the Diary Room about his behaviour, Mickey returns to the garden and apologises to Chris. Mickey then heads inside.

Chris says to other housemates, “Mickey’s just Mickey, you know what I mean.”

Ella responds, “It’s fine - you can be just someone, but be mindful of what it can trigger in other people, because it’s made me feel very uneasy.”

Ella then references a comment Mickey made earlier in the day about how it made her uncomfortable.

----------------------

So that's the context


funny how they were joking, but Mickey wasn't joking the other day when he clearly was

Mickey is obviously very fragile man.

I’ve seen the clip and he was very aggressive

Being a fragile man doesn't necessarily mean he's a bad person. It's apparent he has mental problems, he's actually quite open about them. That doesn't excuse his behaviour i know, but there is a lot of good in Mickey imo. He's just let down by his non filter and obvious sensitivity

Yes there's good in him, we all saw it.
Unfortunately his abusive upbringing means he's a very troubled man.
He said it himself he's very volatile and still has counselling.

"Troubled upbringing" as an excuse for aggressive behaviour/lack of self control can work until about age 30, its wearing thin by 40,beyond that it's just no excuse at all. Kudos for him to admitting he's troubled and that he still has work to do(as some sadly never get there) but age 70+ is... A bit late in the game to still be beating his chest like a teenager.

I'd say most people on this forum have experienced trauma or has mental health issues, you can skill learn or at least try to learn how to be civilised. He used language that was hurtful, whether it was a joke or mean spirited, he knew what he was saying. The fact that he caused even more trouble after that proves that he's not deserving of forgiveness.

It's clearly still affecting him.
The damage that does to you is irreversible.
It's with you everyday for the rest of your life.

Well i feel you're lacking empathy. He really did make amends with JoJo, and make any effort to understand Danny's drag act. And like i said in the other thread, they must see some good in him. Danny is always chatting with him, and Jojo felt comfortable to play that practical joke on him. If they felt unsafe around him, these things wouldn't happen. They'd steer clear of him.

maybe it was in his contract to say something and get ejected. He may even have been told by the producers what to say. At this point, i feel anything is possible
