Alright, so now it’s time to talk about someone who was racist and offensive on Big Brother .
What, a person on a reality TV show said something insane? And hows the bear pooping in the woods quota?
Well, well, well.
It seems you’ve gotten yourself into a wee bit of trouble, Jacky-boy!
Saying offensive things on a TV Show is all fine and dandy, especially if it’s a reality TV Show…
However…
When the definition of “Offensive” changes from “putting down the other players (aka, talking smack) to “putting down the other players because of their race/sex/tail/whatever” then you’ve got a problem!

And so…
Our old buddy Jack was forced to sit down with host Julie Chen after he was voted out of the house on Thursday.
Oof, a double whammy– voted out of the house and he has to get a “sit down”.
Like two cowboys of the West, the two of them locked eyes
Julie Chen, ready, willing able. Jack was… well, more apologetic.
So more like a cowboy and his very naughty horse.
It starts…
With Chen sitting him down and showing him clips about his derogatory comments about a recently excommunicated member of the house, Kemi Fakunle.
And believe me, they were not pretty in the slightest.
He said…
That she was a total b-word (gasp) that she was dog poop, but he didn’t use the word “poop” (double gasp) and finally, he said he wanted to stomp a mudhole through her (spinster feints).
Julie Chen shook her head, sighing deeply.
How could a person say that about someone else? What would cause them to do something so heinous? Well, she was going to get to the bottom of that.
“Watching that now, what are your thoughts?”
Jack swallowed.
He started with :
“Okay, well, I will say that the ‘stomp the mudhole comment’ was based on something that Sam [Bledsoe] said last season when she was frustrated, and I don’t think there was any personal vendetta behind saying that,”
He continues…
Saying he thinks that his comments were more playful and that if you put people in a house together for 24 hours, they’re going to say some messed up stuff.
He finishes…
By saying that he thinks that Kemi is a great person.
She was when she was inside the house and Jack is sure that she would be great outside the house, too.
But that wasn’t all, oh no.
Little Jacky Matthews wasn’t off the hook quite yet.
In fact, he was on more than ever. Because he said something that was… seemingly racist .
Murder, Robbery, Adultery…
And then, above them all, is saying something seemingly racist. Prepare yourselves, people, because this is going to get ugly.
Chen moves on from the Kemi debacle and shows Jack a clip…
Of his terrible offense.
Apparently, in relation to houseguest Bella (who is Asian), someone said: “the proof is in the pudding.” To which Matthews responded… I can hardly even type it…
“Yeah, Rice Pudding”.
Mic Drop.
What’s his explanation for this heinous offense ?
“We spoke earlier in the evening. There was the slop thing going on and people were making different recipes earlier in that evening, mainly Tommy and Christy. And rice pudding was spoken about in slop pudding. And so earlier in that evening, rice and slop pudding were going, around so Tommy bringing it up in that situation made me say it there. It had nothing — absolutely nothing — to do with her ethnicity whatsoever.
Likely story.
What do you think?
Do you think he should be lambasted for what he said? Or is this just another example of PC Culture destroying the right to freedom of speech?
Internet, show me your worst.
