Big Brother 2013 housemate Jemima Slade has been issued with an official warning from show bosses over a racism row.

Jemima clashed with Gina Rio in a discussion over guys.

“I go for darker looking, not black, but darker feature, Mediterranean. I wouldn’t generally go for a black guy,” Jemima said. “I like darker guys, but not black guys. Wouldn’t really go for Chinese. I like mixed race.”

She told Gina: “I wouldn’t generally go for a black guy…, I’ve gone out with Indian guys, I’d generally go out with someone in there 30s.”

Speaking later to the other housemates, Gina claimed she had “just experienced racism,” before going to re-ignite the chat with Jemima.

“I felt offended by what you said earlier, just the way you said I don’t like black men, it’s the way you said it, I didn’t like it and I felt a certain way and I felt very very offended and I can’t help the way I feel,” Gina told her.

Jemima explained: “I didn’t say I didn’t like black men, I’ve got loads of black friends. I wouldn’t go for a Chinese guy, generally that’s my taste, you probably wouldn’t go for a white guy.”

Gina pressed: “Why would you say that, how would you know that I haven’t been out with a white guy; just because I’m black why would you assume?”

Jemima however got defensive, saying: “You’re turning it into a racial thing, that’s why you’ve got an issue with it. You’re paranoid; you had a fight on the first night. I think you’re the most shallow and selfish person I’ve ever met.”

“I think you’re very jealous and insecure,” Gina hit back. “I always see you staring at me, giving me very funny looks and I do not appreciate.”

Jemima continued: “I don’t care how you’ve interpreted it, that’s not how it is, you are the most selfish, shallow, so not disrespect me.”

“Do not speak to me, we’ve ended here!” snapped Gina.

The row then continued into the garden, before Big Brother called Jemima into the Diary Room and issued her with a formal warning.

Watch all the action on Big Brother 2013 tonight from 10PM on Channel 5.

Hmm doubt she was really being racist but BB is probably just playing it safe

It was Jemima. But to be honest, Gina made it an issue as it wasn't racist really.

emima Slade has become the latest housemate to be issued with a formal warning on Big Brother 2013: Secrets & Lies after becoming embroiled in a ‘race row’ with Gina Rio.

The latest argument involving the high-flying socialite was sparked when ‘People’s Puppet’ Michael quizzed gold-digger dating website owner Jemima on what type of men she goes for.

“I go for darker looking, not black, but darker featured, Mediterranean,” responded the 41-year-old. “I wouldn’t generally go for a black guy. I like darker guys, but not black guys. Wouldn’t really go for Chinese. I like mixed race.”

Picking up on her comments, Gina asked: “What’s wrong with black men?”

“I wouldn’t generally go for a black guy… I’ve gone out with Indian guys, I’d generally go out with someone in there 30s,” Jemima added.

Gina then asked Jemima for a chat in the bedroom, and while waiting for her to arrive, she informed other housemates about what had happened, saying she had ‘just experienced racism’. They quickly scarpered as Jemima appeared.

“I felt offended by what you said earlier, just the way you said I don’t like black men, it’s the way you said it,” Gina explained. “I didn’t like it and I felt a certain way and I felt very very offended and I can’t help the way I feel.”

“I didn’t say I didn’t like black men, I’ve got loads of black friends,” responded Jemima. “Generally that’s my taste, you probably wouldn’t go for a white guy.”

“Why would you say that, how would you know that I haven’t been out with a white guy?” gasped Gina. “Just because I’m black, why would you assume?”

“You’re turning it into a racial thing, that’s why you’ve got an issue with it,” claimed Jemima. “You’re paranoid, you had a fight on the first night.”

“That didn’t include you, that’s none of your business,” snapped Gina.

Their squabble became heated when Jemima attacked her opponent, saying: “I think you’re the most shallow and selfish person I’ve ever met.”

“I think you’re very jealous and insecure. I always see you staring at me, giving me very funny looks and I do not appreciate,” retorted Gina.

Later, once they had calmed down, Big Brother slapped Jemima with the warning in the Diary Room and reminded her about the rules regarding using potentially racist language.

Not exactly racism but it's all about perception... love the fact that it's caused another row though, can't wait to watch this, then we'll be able to see and hear the tone/context

Jemal · 17-06-2013, 05:11 PM

Big brother has seriously just made me lmfao. I mean i dont like Jemima much but all she said was the type of guys she prefers/goes for. Jesus.

FFS, really?

Pathetic tbh.

Ridiculous.

Roy Mars III · 17-06-2013, 05:13 PM

Jemima is racist

MTVN · 17-06-2013, 05:14 PM

More Gina's fault than BB's IMO, hard for them to do nothing or ignore it when someone claims racism really

The only bit that may have been a little bit "ooh" would be when Jemima said "You probably wouldn't go for a white person". LOL, a bit of a stupid thing to say.

daniel-lewis-1985 · 17-06-2013, 05:14 PM

This has pissed me off so much.

So Jemima is racist for not being attracted to black men?...No warning over the Chinese comment I see.

I don't go for black men either does that make me racist?

FFS.
