It would've made her life worse I think... Tabloids: "BBUK Ellis claims the tweets are not hers"... then the fishing by the media and bored people into her personal life trying to dig up even more dirt...

Even if she denied it they'd still remove her as precaution !. Even though it's BB 's own fault for putting her in there without checking her out .

The term 'racist' gets thrown around all the time now as well, it's commonplace on the internet at least, doesn't matter how actually true it is or whether people have to get around to inventing new races for it to work even.

Especially in the youtube comment section , people hide behind a fake name and random username as they sit behind their computer screens spouting vulgar abuse , racist stuff and all sorts and they hide behind that alias as nobody know's who they really are .

So yes it exists all over the internet but Ellis was stupid enough to have her real name /identity attached to it . I don't have much sympathy for her , if she's dumb enough to post before thinking first then it's her own fault.

I think that the accounts of minor children (and what they've said in them) shouldn't be available to the public. In my country (the US), this would be age 18. I'm not sure what age adulthood is in the UK, but kids should be free to make mistakes and learn from them, without it carrying over into their adult life, especially if nobody physically got hurt. To me it's stupid. All this stuff about race. Yes, it's stupid to say those things, and people should be held accountable when they say it. Holding someone accountable for something they said as a teenage five years ago, makes no sense. At the same time, I wish that they would extend that to sexist, mysoginistic terms as well. Why should women be constantly subject to this crap? I mean, I think that people should have some sort of penalty if they do it, when they do it. But I don't think that it should be so harsh that they can't learn and get back on track.

Oh I must've missed that bit. I mean I'm sure she's no racist but any normal person would've been like "omfg I'm soo sorry" "I didn't mean those things" etc etc. Anyway thats my fault for expecting a normal reaction from her

..I’m not really sure what it would have achieved by denying them...Ellis would have only received a public ‘hate’ as a liar as well as a racist...so compounded it and added another layer...that whole conversation though should have happened before the housemates were chosen...’hang in Ellis, look what we found here...we can’t put you in the house with those hate views’...etc...let her see how she has impacted her own life in being denied something she really wanted to take part in...

"Special" isn't the word I would use to describe her

SPECIOUS, perhaps.
