Big Brother houseguest Luke Valentine was removed from the house last week on Wednesday 9th after using the N-word on Live Feeds.
For those who missed that episode, during a Tuesday night/Wednesday morning conversation with Jared, Hisam, and Cory, Luke said the word at the end of a statement he was making violating the ‘Big Brother’ code of conduct of zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur,”.
In an interview with TMZ, Luke’s father defended the houseguest saying his son is not a racist and that their family ties demonstrate a lack of prejudice. Additionally, he expressed disappointment and surprise regarding his son’s behavior for various reasons.
“James” Luke’s father says his son has many family members who are Black, including a stepmom and step-siblings, as well as biracial cousins and he says Luke is not a racist and was not raised in a racist family.
He added saying Luke’s stepmother was also disappointed to hear him use the n-word on the live feeds, but we’re told she feels he’s a good kid regardless and they have a good relationship.
The Houseguest’s father also says he’s never heard Luke using the racial slur, and he believes his son was not intending to be racist, though he admits his kid said the wrong thing and has to be more mindful of what comes out of his mouth.
In defense of his son, James says his son just didn’t follow the rules and it got him expelled and he hopes his kid gets a chance to explain himself.
