Overview
- The voice of Big Brother announced during the gala that Masi was expelled for conduct deemed inadmissible under program rules after remarks directed at Mavinga.
- The recorded comments included references to being “bought” or “off the ship” and calling others “monkey,” which circulated widely on social media.
- Before exiting, Masi apologized on camera, called her words a very bad joke, said she understood the decision, and denied being racist.
- Mavinga’s family condemned the insults and asked for sanctions on those who laughed, while Masi’s family issued a statement acknowledging the wrongdoing but arguing the episode should not define her.
- Mavinga’s husband said he will file a criminal complaint, and inside the house Mavinga was visibly upset and was consoled by fellow contestant Andrea del Boca.
