Mocked Hitler and said ‘kill the jews’

I wonder how his fans will defend him now.

Edit: Lewis did say he did it, so it’s not speculation. He confirmed on his Instagram live

The Sun.

Wasn't it the sun who claimed it was the ridiculous 'auswitz/outfits' reason? Now THIS makes a lot of sense. And also makes sense why it wasn't shown. But again, could be bollocks. Makes a lot more sense than what was claimed a few days back though

This is all speculation. We don't know anything, until they actually show it.

ew not the s*n

but i looked at it anyway (grudgingly, i should add) and that was an horrible thing to do on lewis’s part

Ahh mind

Quote:

Speaking from his home, Lewis said: “I was talking to Cameron about getting him some outfits and I said the word ‘Auschwitz’ instead of outfits by mistake.

“It was a slip of the tongue and and then I tried to mock Hitler and did an impression of him saying ‘Kill the Jews’.

“It was an impression not a statement of my beliefs at all – and has come out completely wrong and I’m devastated.

“I am not anti-Semitic, I am agnostic. I love all people.

“It was a misguided comment that came out wrong.”

Seems to have a direct quote from Lewis?

I thought that was just the reporters story, rather than a quote on first read

How do you get confused between outfits & Auchwitz it just doesn't make any sense

bots · 31-10-2018, 05:09 PM

thats possible for sure, i couldn't see how the first comment would get him ejected but the second bit certainly would

Well no, it doesn't. I suspect it was an ill thought out joke rather than mistaking words. However the 'slip of the tongue' was not the reason for the ejection. This part is

Thats not a slip of the tongue, by any stretch. Its doubling down on whatever you said, and thats why it had to be an ejection rather than a warning. I think.

It won't have been the mocking Hitler part. But the specific wording used.I cannot understand a word Barrymore was saying there..

Rob! · 31-10-2018, 05:31 PM

That's a believable reason to have been chucked out, but I don't especially agree with it. I was no fan of Lewis by the end but it should be obvious to anybody that has watched him that the last thing he is is anti-Semantic.

It was just an impression based on a slip of the tongue its not as if he was preaching "death to all Jews" if anything he was mocking himself for his slip of the tongue.

Remember when Michael Barrymore did pretty much the same thing back in CBB5 and BB didn't bat an eye lid?

Yes he should have got a warning just to show that people may have been offended but not removed from the house I mean its not as if he is anti semitic .

UserSince2005 · 31-10-2018, 05:34 PM

Eject him for what?
Just don't show the ****ing incident you dumb *****, and get on with the show.
No real reason to eject other than to get publicity.
I understand why they eject on CBB, because they can get some money back.
And i understand if the comments are actually broadcast and they need to take action.
But for gods sake, if its just a random comment within 1000 hours of his life, give him a slap on the wrist at most.

Note ive watched about 20 mins of this series in week one, so no bias in my comment.

Oliver_W · 31-10-2018, 05:38 PM

Even if he did say Auchwitz instead of outfits, he could just say he got mushmouth - I don't think it's easy to get the two words mixed up, but mumbling and slurring could turn outfits into, say, "ouchfitz", and Auchwitz is the closest actual thing to that?

If BB continues Housemates would be advised to not mention the war.

Lewis isn't anti-Semitic, he just doesn't like the Jews x

(yes I will run and run with this tired joke format until all words lose relevance)
