She was also horrified to hear Davina's comments on Big Mouth about 'boyish good looks', amongst other jibes. Racial jokes would not be tolerated so she is at a loss and devastated to see such transphobic comments screened, especially by an influential TV presenter who she once admired. The transphobic slurs made and broadcast on Big Mouth and BBLB merely seem to reinforce BB’s position that transphobia is fully permitted and allowed by the BB platform.

That bitch Davina went a step too far. I'm delighted Channel 5 won't be taking her. 90% of her other TV shows are flops. Davina's on a downward spiral and will be back on drugs soon. She'll be in rehab within 12 months. Mark my words.

Here's the full post by Marco:

I just wanted to say a deeply felt thank you to everyone who took the time to post in the initial thread and private messaged words of kindness and encouragement to Nadia. Everything has been read and all warm sentiments past forward. I feel I owe it to you all to provide an update. Nadia is beginning to seem a little more stable over the past day, we've been sharing little laughs and ordered in a nice lunch. She had otherwise been fairly inconsolable over the weekend.

Having learnt the full extent of editted misrepresentation between herself and Coolio, the more upset she's become and determined to share the truth of events. It's clear that several direct incidents of transphobic abuse have been cut, including:

- 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.
- Coolio receiving 3 verbal warnings from BB specifically for abusive and threatening behaviour against Nadia, and
- Being *asked* to leave the Big Brother house, not requesting to leave as a result of his persistent abuse, not because Nadia irrationally lost her temper over a pair of hidden shoes (without context of the abuse).

Emily Big Brother 8, by contrast, had been removed from the Big Brother house for saying a single racist word. Nadia was at the receiving end of days of transphobic abuse.

She was also horrified to hear Davina's comments on Big Mouth about 'boyish good looks', amongst other jibes. Racial jokes would not be tolerated so she is at a loss and devastated to see such transphobic comments screened, especially by an influential TV presenter who she once admired. The transphobic slurs made and broadcast on Big Mouth and BBLB merely seem to reinforce BB’s position that transphobia is fully permitted and allowed by the BB platform.

Nadia has not heard from senior producers since Saturday afternoon and feels they have directly failed her, skirting all contact despite numerous and repeated requests to speak. I am requesting now that you APPEAL with your feet and words. If you feel strongly about this matter and want to do something to directly help Nadia now, please complain to OFCOM about this matter

It's a sad story.

I don't think Davina has done anything wrong and it's nothing that some other people wouldn't say. Big Mouth does that and most people take things as a joke and, in the words of John James "if you can't hack it, get your jacket". Nadia is milking this for all it's worth.

Davina did nothing wrong. I also watched Big Mouth and nothing she said was meant to be offensive. Nadia is taking everything out of context, so that she won't look as bad in the public's eye.

[BBfan46]

Are you serious?

[heyugoonie]

I've been going off Davina for the last couple of years, but this just made my mind up that she is a catty bitch.

yeah, I mean surely someone on here would have seen something or atleast heard her talking about it to the other HMs if she was that distressed

It probably didn't happen in the extreme of what Marco is hoping for.

This is after all Marco re-living his Big Brother days through Nadia isn't it.

people made comments like that about Nadia on BBBM during bb5 all the time. Russel Brand said worse at the time.

she wasn't being attacked constantly by some psychotic nut job though. also she was in the house till the end, all the jokes and banter about her gender were on programs on the outside. opinions are like arseholes everyones got one...and good humored comments aren't the problem here. 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.

[Chuckyegg]

Someones been mistaking the Daily Star as factual methinks

[iRyan]

It's really unfortune that as a previous winner her relationship with the producers and Big Brother itself has now been ruined.

[Shasown]

There may even be some truth to what Nadia says happened with Coolio, however she is overreacting I think. She simply cant accept the fact the public dont like her as much as she thought they did. It simply looks like sour grapes.

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.

[smudgie]

Time to let it all drop.
Marco is an attentions seeker, same as his mate Nadia. Both losers looking for "fame" on the back of this incident, using it to make some money maybe
Davina should not have mentioned boyish good looks, for one thing Nadia is no longer a boy, and for another she is too plain looking to be classed as good looking.
