    Smile BIG BROTHER RACISM - What do you think

    Anger over Big Brother 'racism' Shilpa Shetty 31, is an award-winning Bollywood actress Broadcasting regulator Ofcom has received more than 3,500 complaints of alleged racism in Celebrity Big Brother against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty.

    Channel 4, has received 1,000 more, making it the most complained about series.

    Housemates Jade Goody, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara have been seen making fun of the Bollywood star's accent.

    On Monday night's episode, Jo reportedly suggested that Indians were thin because they are always ill as a result of undercooking their food.

    The trio also complained that Shilpa had touched other housemates' food with her hands.

    Shilpa is too good-looking for her own good - she's an incredibly powerful and beautiful woman Carole Malone Evicted contestant Danielle said: "You don't know where those hands have been."

    Jade Goody's mother, Jackiey Budden, repeatedly referred to Shilpa as "the Indian" while she was featured on the show and was unable to pronounce her name.

    Personally I think it's disgusting at the end of the day no matter what colour, creed or country we come from we are all human beings and should be treated with respect.

    Some people are too opinionated - who takes Jade Goody seriously anyway :D


    What do you think about the racist remarks and should Channel 4 stop the program ??

    I hate racism, but I also hate Big Brother more so haven't watched any of this programme. Having said that, I don't really see it as racism from the clips I have seen, but more total ignorance. Let's face it, when you look at the females (and I use the term advisedly) that are at the centre of these allegations.....let's just say that the butter in their sandwich wasn't spread right to the edge of the bread!!!

    They are a downright ignorant lot. Instead of using this opportunity to soak up lots of information about someone else's culture, they've used it to harass some poor woman who doesn't deserve it.

    I hope that this spells the end for this Channel 4 festival of crap, but of course, it won't. They're already advertising open auditions for this years BB and by the time that one comes around, the great British public (or at least the ones who watch BB) will have by-and-large forgotten about this scandal.

    Default Re: Big Bro - Channel 4 comment

    Channel 4 has denied claims that Celebrity Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty has suffered racist bullying.

    Channel 4 and TV regulator Ofcom have had more than 21,000 complaints about treatment of Shetty.

    The station said in a statement: "To date there has been no overt racial abuse or racist behaviour directed against Shilpa Shetty within the Big Brother house.

    "However there has undoubtedly been a cultural and class clash between her and three of the British females in the house."

    The statement added that housemates had constant access to support from Big Brother, and Shetty had "not voiced any concerns of racial abuse".




    I wonder what Shilpa Shetty actually thinks ???

    Exclamation Re: BIG BROTHER RACISM - What do you think

    Well I feal shows put that sort of thing on there on purpose.Boring Tele dont draw attention.See how big stars draw attention to them selfs by doing stupid things.And it seems the more they do the more people buy.Madonna and Michel Jackson sell millions every time they do something the rest of us wouldnt ever dream of doing.Any fans of american chopper know that half there fans are female and like my wife they just watch to see the family fights.So sometimes when raitings go down they start a buzz like this one lol!

    Default Goody Voted Off Big Brother

    Goody voted off TV's Big Brother


    Jade Goody, at the centre of an alleged racism row on Channel 4's Celebrity Big Brother, has been evicted.

    Goody, 25, was up against Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty, who had been the target of the alleged abuse from Goody and others in the reality TV show.

    Instead of emerging from the house to a crowd, Goody was taken to a studio for an interview with host Davina McCall.

    She looked visibly shocked when McCall showed her clips from TV news headlines about the row, adding "that's intense".

    After being shown clips from the Big Brother show, which had led to the allegations, Goody said: "It's nasty."

    She added: "It wasn't meant in a racist way at all. I'm not racist, but looking at that film I can see why it has had the impact it's had.

    "I look like one of those people I don't like.

    "Yes, I said those things and they look nasty, but I'm not racist."

    Goody received 82% of the total votes cast.



    I didn't and don't watch big brother as I can't stand it, - did Jane goody look sincere when she was so say shocked ???
