Overview
- The clip, posted to Kirk’s Instagram Stories in December 2025 and saved in his highlights, shows a man yelling “I can’t breathe” while Kirk laughs and says, “Bro thinks he’s George Floyd.”
- The video went viral in late July 2026 and prompted widespread online condemnation, with viewers calling the footage racist and urging CBS to remove Kirk from Big Brother.
- Neither CBS nor Kirk had issued a public response to the resurfaced footage at the time of reporting, and Kirk remained a contestant on Big Brother.
- The resurfaced clip compounds earlier complaints about Kirk’s behavior on the show, including comments many viewers called homophobic toward fellow contestant Jason De Puy, and has prompted former Big Brother players to demand action.
- Fans have also dug up past social media activity tied to Kirk, including apparent likes of posts identifying as Christian nationalist and posts critical of Islam, which has intensified scrutiny of CBS’s background checks and its handling of controversial houseguests.
