Grace in Racism Row

    Does BB Housemate Grace have any idea of the atrocious impression she is making?

    Probably not, as that would involve her thinking about something other than herself for, like, a second...

    Well, actually, she thinks about some other people - the ones she wants to insult or moan about.

    Aisleyne is the latest Housemate to offend the 20-year-old - with her mannerisms.

    Grace said that Aisleyne was a "wigger" - slang for a "white n****r".

    She added that the buxom blonde was a "black ghetto hoochie".

    Mikey protested: "You can't say that."

    Channel 4 broadcast the comments on the evening show, but cut them from the morning repeat.

    Can't remember hearing her say it though :mad:

    It will probably be some 5'11 "hoochie" - oh how I'd laugh.

    She deffo said Aisleyne was a "wigger" to which Mikey said "you can't say that". They were sitting opposite each other in the bedroom with one other housemate (who I can't remember). Not that clever a thing to say really.

    She is just so rude and insulting!! And then yesterday she was crying because she was fed up with all the bitching in the house?! What a hypocrite! She really is just jealous of Aisleyne because Mikey prefers her to Grace!

    Tim Westwood is a wigger. no doubt.

  • Registered Users Posts: 17,247 ✭✭✭✭6th

  • Registered Users Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭billy the squid


    Problem is, she would only go if they were all up for eviction. She only received one nomination this week if I remember right, from Richard.

    Apparently as well that CH4 got the biggest amount of complaints over wat was said by Grace
    People asked them to even give her a warning about her comments
    Obviously the private school she went to didnt fork out on Manners

    her class of private school brits tend to be more racist that any other type of brits, given their lack of interaction with people of other races.

    i don't see anything wrong with wigger.
    it basically means the same as white thrash or chav.
    i think the only person who would be offended my that word would be a wigger.

    The only person that would take offense to any term similar would be a person of that variety though. So it is jsut as bad as any term.

    Thought i dodged giving examples there very well;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,178 ✭✭✭Bamboozled


    confuzzled.

    All i know is that there were a lot of complaints, the C4 forum was overrun by complaints and it was all over the papers, so sommeone had to take notice of Grace saying that word.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 66 ✭✭judybaby


    That term is inappropriate and indicates prejudice. She makes me ill!

    She tries SO damn hard to look "posh" and in reality she is as common as muck.

    I've always watched BB and this is the first year I have disliked someone as much. (dare i say hate?) Hopefully she'll be nominated next week and is booted out!

    Got this from a thread on C4 site -

    Father of Big Brother Grace could be jailed
    THE dad of Big Brother contestant Grace faces jail after being found guilty of harassing and racially abusing police officers.
    Karl Adams, of Christchurch Road, Abington, Northampton, was found guilty of the charges relating to a one-hour stand-off at his home, and later at Campbell Square police station, on January 6 last year.
    Kettering Magistrates' Court heard how he swore and was aggressive, using racially abusive language aimed at black officer, Pc Stephen McKenzie.
    Pc Steven King told the court how Adams, who owns a nursery school in Northampton with his partner, shouted "don't look at me with those black eyes".
    Pc King added: "He said didn't we know who he was, he was a nursery teacher, he looked after our kids and would poison their food."
    Mark Himsworth, defending, claimed the credibility of the officers was in question.
    He said: "The officers describe Adams as abusive throughout, however, there is seriously discordant evidence."
    Adams said he had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder following previous court cases and dealings with Northamptonshire Police, including an 11-hour siege at his former home.
    He said: "My girlfriend woke to find me on the floor, I had auditory hallucinations.
    "She phoned for an ambulance to assist me and specifically asked for the ambulance people not to call the police."
    Adams said how he tried to avoid direct contact with the officers at his home until they started attacking his partner with their batons. Both of them were sprayed with CS gas and were burned as a result.
    Adams added: "They play the race card and make up these lies. The only thing I said to Pc McKenzie was 'take your big eyes off me' because he was looking at me with wild eyes."
    The 47-year-old was found guilty of threatening behaviour and racially abusing the police officer.
    A third charge of harassment following an abusive phone call to his own mother was dismissed.
    Presiding magistrate, John Woollett, said: "Using threatening and abusive behaviour and with intent is so serious we think a custodial sentence is appropriate for rehabilitation and for the protection of the public."
    The case was adjourned for pre-sentencing reports and Adams will appear before Northampton Magistrates' Court next month.
