Big Brother star Luke Valentine blasted over ‘bizarre post’ after being removed from house over racial slur

Big Brother contestant Luke Valentine has spoken out for the first time since he was removed from the house for using a racial slur.

After just a few days in the compound, Valentine said the ‘N-word’ in a conversation with Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger, and Hisam Goueli during a live stream.

‘We were in the f**king [inaudible] room, n****r,’ he said, before appearing to backtrack and replace the term with ‘dude’.

He was subsequently called into a separate room and removed from the house.

Several days later, he’s finally appeared on social media to share a video about ‘love’, appearing shirtless at the end of a workout.

‘Hey, guys. Just letting you know, I’m alive, I’ve arrived and you gotta keep the flames stoked until next time,’ he said.

‘We can’t burn out, no, no, no, the fires of love will continue to burn, baby.

‘So thank you for all the memes, thank you for all the support, the kind words.’

The lack of apology, however, didn’t go unnoticed by his 4,000 followers.

‘How you gonna talk about love but won’t apologize for saying something offensive,’ commented one critic, while another called the video ‘disgusting’.

‘How can you not apologize? What you said on life TV is anything but love,’ they said.

A third replied: ‘What a bizarre post.’

After his exit, Big Broter producers released a statement which read: ‘Luke violated the Big Brother code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur.

‘He has been removed from the house. His departure will be addressed in Thursday night’s show.’

Host Julie Chen Moonves explained to viewers: ‘It was an emotional 24 hours in the Big Brother house as the houseguests learned that one of their own broke the Big Brother Code of Conduct and was removed from the game.’
