Julie Chen Addresses 'BB15' Racism
By JARETT WIESELMAN
July 08, 2013
Big Brother 15 has
attracted a lot of headlines this season as a result of the racist,
homophobic and misogynistic comments several of the houseguests have
been overheard saying on the live feeds. Last night the show featured
some of Aryn Gries and GinaMarie Zimmerman's comments in a "Worst Of"
compilation (they've both been, unknowingly, fired from their jobs as a result of these comments) that you can watch here.
This morning, Big Brother host Julie Chen finally spoke out on the matter during a live taping of CBS'The Talk.
"I have to be honest, it stung," she said. "Those things, in my opinion
... it felt mean-spirited. It felt ugly and it felt mean."
Chen
continued, "When I first found out that Aryan, who is a 22-year-old
girl, made anti-gay, anti-black and anti-Asian comments, I have to be
honest, the Asian ones hit me the most. It stung. I took it personally.
I’m a human being. The really sad part, it took me back to the '70s when
I was growing up in Queens and I was 7-years-old getting bullied, being
called a chink. I thought, 'Wow, I haven't heard comments like that [in
years].' The year is 2013. I felt ignorant, there are still people in
the country who feel and act that way? Yes there [are]. It made me sad.
She’s 22 and she’s college educated."
