Just weeks into Big Brother 28, the season has become one of the most talked-about—and controversial—in recent memory.
Fans are calling out houseguests Kamu Kirk and Rick Devens after a conversation on the live feeds involving fellow contestant Jason De Puy, an openly queer drag performer best known for competing as Salina EsTitties on RuPaul’s Drag Race.
According to viewers following the live feeds, Kamu told Rick that he has an “image to uphold,” with many fans interpreting the conversation as suggesting that being associated with Jason could negatively affect that image. The remarks quickly spread across social media, where many viewers accused the comments of being homophobic and criticized both houseguests. Reports of the conversation have fueled widespread backlash online.
The controversy comes after Kamu had already drawn criticism before entering the house, when fans discovered that his public social media activity allegedly included interactions with anti-LGBTQ+ content. Those earlier concerns have now resurfaced as viewers connect them to the latest live feed conversation.
Jason has been one of the season’s most emotional houseguests. Live feeds have shown him opening up about feeling isolated in the house and struggling to fit in among the cast. During one emotional moment, he broke down while discussing how difficult the experience had become.
As clips and summaries continue circulating online, many fans are urging CBS to address the situation, while others are waiting to see whether the network includes any of the controversy in future televised episodes. At the time of writing, neither CBS nor the houseguests involved have publicly addressed the backlash.
One thing is certain: Big Brother 28 continues to dominate conversation both inside and outside the house, with live feeds once again proving to be must-watch television for fans following every twist.
