‘Big Brother 24’ Is a Racist Nightmare–and Former Black Contestants Are Crying Foul
It’s only been a week since Big Brother 24 premiered, but viewers and former contestants are already sounding the alarm on the poor treatment of a Black contestant.
Taylor Hale is a personal stylist from Detroit and one of 16 people competing for the grand prize of $750,000. Per the show’s rules, she has committed to spending up to 82 days in a fluorescent-lit home on a soundstage in Los Angeles. The 27-year-old may now be rethinking that decision. Cameras from the 24-hour live feed have caught her sobbing quietly in her bedroom while her housemates conspire against her with months of filming still left.
Only two episodes have aired on CBS so far, but fans of the show have already compiled snippet upon snippet of whispers broadcast on the home’s Orwellian live feeds, which air around the clock on Paramount+, showing contestants trash-talking Taylor about being “aggressive” and having an “attitude” with very little evidence of said behavior.
