CBS responds to Big Brother allegations of racism and sexual harassment

The Hollywood Reporter

The network released a statement on footage showing housemate JC Mounduix was touching other cast members inappropriately with an ice cream scooper and additional video of Angela Rummans and Rachel Swindler making offensive comments on race. "Big Brother is a reality show about watching a group of people who have no privacy 24/7 -- and capturing every unfiltered moment and conversation in their lives," read the statement. "At times, the houseguests reveal prejudices and exhibit behavior that we do not condone. The producers have addressed two such incidents that were seen recently on the 24/7 online feed. In both cases, those involved have been warned about their inappropriate behavior and offensive comments, as well as future consequences. These events will not be part of any future Big Brother broadcast on CBS.”
