Big Brother 25 addressed the removal of houseguest Luke Valentine after he dropped a racial slur on the live feeds.
“It has been an emotional 24 hours in the Big Brother house as the houseguests learned that one of their own broke the Big Brother code of conduct and was removed from the game,” Julie Chen Moonves announced in the Thursday, August 10 episode.
Big Brother then showed the conversation that made headlines between Luke, 30, Cory Wurtenberger, Hisam Goueli and Jared Fields, in which Luke casually dropped the N-word while in the Cheese Room. Following the interaction, Luke was called into the Diary Room and did not return. Later, Head of Household Reilly Smedley shared a message from production to her fellow houseguests.
“Due to violating the Big Brother code of conduct by using a racial slur, Luke has been removed from the house,” she read aloud. “The game goes on and the live vote will continue as scheduled.”
The message shocked several houseguests — as some were seemingly unaware of the situation that took place. Cory, 21, recounted the details of the interaction. Meanwhile, Hisam, 45, claimed to not hear what Luke said, despite looking shocked on the live feeds when it occurred. Jared, 25, shared in a confessional he hoped it was a “learning experience” for Luke.
The players proceeded with the eviction vote and were tasked with choosing between Kirsten Elewin and Felicia Cannon. Kirsten, 25, was unanimously voted out of the game.
