Big Brother’s Luke Valentine Uses Racial Slur
On Wednesday morning, Big Brother‘s Luke Valentine was removed from the house after he was caught using the N-word on the show’s live feed. As seen in the clip, the Caucasian illustrator used the racial slur in a conversation with fellow white house guests Hisam Goueli and Cory Wurtengerber and Jared Fields, who is Black. He casually slipped the word into a sentence saying, “We were in the f****ng cheese room, n****.” Valentine quickly tried to correct himself, saying, “Dude.” Surprisingly, Fields took no offense while Valentine laughed it off. Although it didn’t appear that much of a big deal to Fields, it sparked an uproar on social media. Eventually, it resulted in Valentine’s removal that same day.
