How the hell the researchers on Big Brother could miss the Tila Tequila Hitler controversy is beyond me. On hearing the rumours about her going in the house, I found the story in seconds of my own research.
It was even mentioned in the press in the build up to the show and all over social media soon has her name is mentioned. The people at Big Brother must have buried their heads in the ground. No sooner had she entered the house a campaign begun to get her kicked out which looked to have succeeded.
Her removal from the house was due to controversial remarks she made about Nazi-ism on social media back in 2013, when she shared an essay on her website, titled ‘Why I Sympathise With Hitler: Part I. She also posted a photo of herself dressed in Nazi-inspired garb, standing in front of a setting that resembled the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Channel 5 issued a statement on Friday, which read: “Unfortunately, Channel 5 and Endemol did not know about the views and attitudes Tila had expressed in social media postings prior to her involvement in ‘Celebrity Big Brother’.
"When they were brought to our attention, she was called to the Diary Room for a discussion with producers and was subsequently removed from the house."The views Tila had expressed, and permitted to remain uncorrected, are totally unacceptable and, accordingly, her continued involvement in the programme was untenable."
The show makers saying they needing the issue to be ‘brought to their attention’ shock many people. There is a suggesting they knew and always plan to kick her out if there was an outcry. She made this statement about in 2013 during a personal testing time and in a statement she said,
“Back in 2013 I made a statement about Hitler not being a bad person, and immediately realised soon after that I had made a terrible mistake that would ultimately come back to haunt me.“During that time I had been suffering from severe depression and drug addiction for many years prior to that. I also attempted to commit suicide in 2012, and overdosed on prescription pills. I wanted to die. I felt worthless and unloved as that pain continued to grow causing me to further spiral out of control. Losing touch of myself, and reality."I am deeply sorry for my irresponsible, reckless, and selfish actions and I hope that everyone can forgive me for the pain that I may have caused. I want to be a good role model for my daughter because I don't want her to go through what I have had to endure."
Housemates are normally removed from the house due to their unacceptable behaviour in the house and after at least getting a warning or straight removal for violence. Last series Katie Hopkins was in the house and she before entry had said plenty of unsavoury and controversial comments and plenty of people wanted her out on social media but she stayed.
I personally believe she should have been left in the house maybe she was in a bad place at the time who knows but if she would have made the same statement in the house that would be a different matter.
