More about Snakes than gays..............

I would have thought someone whose religion has known such persecution and vicious stereotypes would be less likely to stereotype other religions out of empathy.

No religion is famed for their acceptance of the gays but it doesn't mean that all religious people believe in the anti-gay sentiments of their religious texts.

I thought the whole point was that Jack Maynard's agent/agency withdrew him from the show to deal with the controversy in their own way (presumably a few sad-faced YouTube videos and a nice photoshoot or two of Jack with a Pride flag and a very solemn "look guys I've changed" face or whatever)? Not that he was axed from the show.

I do think younger people are scrutinised more by what they say online but part of me thinks people of his nature - people who are trying to get famous THROUGH social media - would be incredibly ****ing naive and stupid to go ahead without even so little as a quick "search my own username + fag/*****/****/gay/******/bitch/slut/etc" cleaning process? Especially when such a platform is pretty much key to your shtick? With Amir/Rebekah it's very much a "we started using this to talk with friends and banter with fans" sort of tool, and whilst their tweets are indeed...questionable at best... no one really would look at them with such a degree of surprise.

I mean boxing's - let alone the sporting world's - problems with gays is a whole new barrel of lunacy entirely...

Depends which article you read Shaun about whether he was ejected or his agents pulled him out

[Shaun]

It strikes me as odd the whole "ejection" angle because IAC isn't really in a position where it would need to do that for ratings... (then again I haven't seen the ratings but I assume they're high as ever lol) and it's something, I think, they've never done before.

Even (C)BB are a little bit hesitant on the "dodgy tweets" grounds and they're famed for ejecting any and everyone Tom from BB18 is the most recent example I can think of.

Maybe it was a mutual agreement sort of thing. Let him know this story had been brewing, and he asked to speak to his agent or w/e

They ejected Spencer for taking Steriods

[chuff me dizzy]

I would hate being in the public eye, they can keep the crazy money they make, having to watch every word i said or posted on social media,as everything they say gets dissected until some bored,spotty youth finds something not 100% PC in it

Maybe or I think Arista posted a different article saying that it wasn't to do with the tweets at all and it was something to do with sexual harassment :/ so who actually knows, i doubt we'll ever get the actual story tbh

Every male gets accused of sexual harassment these days . But I think that's a BS rumour . I think Jack left because of the sht storm he's caused on Twitter it's so obvious that's the reason and itv and producers don't want it to destroy IAC .

If anything the YouTube weasel should of gone in BB as they enjoy putting in all kinds of controversial twts .

I half feel as if his management did actually contribute to pulling him out. I think it just seems weird that we're told the truth that we're desperately trying to think what else it could be! (Thanks big brother, now we have trust issues).
