As of 16 January 2007 this series has attracted the largest ever number of public complaints to the UK broadcasting watchdog Ofcom about a Big Brother series.[3] The complaints received detailed concerns that housemate Shilpa Shetty had been subjected to bullying, allegedly with undertones of racism.[4] As an example, Danielle Lloyd even called a fellow Indian participant "a dog" and that she should "fuck off home". This sparked widespread anger and demonstrations in India, where the alleged racism was reported on the news, and led Big Brother's main sponsor Carphone Warehouse to sever ties with the show.[5] As of January 19, 2007, a Channel 4 spokesman agreed that participants should be made aware of the controversy, probably explaining the recent explanations and apologies tendered by the housemates and their complete lack of surprise after learning about the latest eviction.[6][7] January 16 is the 16th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... 2007 (MMVII) is the current year, a common year starting on Monday of the Gregorian calendar and the AD (or CE) era. ... // Ofcom was designed to be a super regulator, required in an age where many media platforms are converging. ...

The House

House plan with the House Next Door highlighted.
House plan with the House Next Door highlighted.

The general layout of the House is largely untouched from the previous non-celebrity series. The living room and bedroom have no noticeable changes. There are several single beds in the same room, with one double bed, meaning that two housemates (Leo & Donny) had to share. The bathroom is much smaller than previous versions and the toilet and shower are no longer fitted with cameras. The dining room table has been moved inside, and the kitchen is fully equipped with modern conveniences. Outside the garden is a three-jet hot tub with a farmyard seating area. The bridge to Nowhere is still present, leading to a sitting area with heated seats and the topiary man. A workout area is situated just off the kitchen area. Inside the House there is also a fax machine built into the wall. This is currently being used, when viewers will be invited to post questions to the housemates.[9] Meanwhile, the Diary Room is identical to the previous summer's Big Brother, with an oversized gold chair and padded walls. There has also been an addition of yellow lights facing the walls. The House Next Door was used again, and its interior was re-designed to resemble a Victorian style kitchen, with uncomfortable beds in the bedroom, for use in the master-and-servant task.

Notes

Note 1: When Jade, Jack, and Jackiey entered the house they became "masters" along with Jermaine, Ken, and Shilpa. The other eight housemates were chosen to be their "servants" and moved to the House Next Door. It was revealed that the masters are automatically nominated for eviction in which the viewers are to vote which housemates to save, rather than evicted. Therefore, the housemate with the least number of votes is evicted. Donny, who was originally a servant, left the house on Day 3. On Day 5, Ken voluntarily left after being involved in arguments with housemates.


Note 2: Carole and Cleo were banned from nominating as a punishment for discussing nominations earlier. Additionally, housemates had to choose one of them to face the public vote.[55] They chose Carole.[56] On Day 10, Leo escaped the house.[15]


Note 3: The nominations were cast on Day 15 and announced on Day 16. The voting package was delayed and only shown at the end of Big Brother's Big Mouth where it was also revealed that all Channel 4's profits for this vote will go to charity.


Note 4: There was a double eviction on Day 24 and therefore the three or more housemates were placed up for the public vote rather than the two or more housemates. The voting lines originally opened on Day 22 but were reset on Day 23 due to an error which stated that viewers were to vote to save Shilpa when they were infact voting to evict. Viewers who had voted before the lines were reset were offered a full refund with all unclaimed money and profits from the vote being donated to charity [57] Shilpa Shetty (Tulu: ಶಿಲ್ಪ ಶೆಟ್ಟಿ), born June 8 1975, is a four-time Filmfare Award-nominated Indian film actress, AIDS activist and PETA supporter. ...


Note 5: There were no nominations in the final two days and instead the public were voting for the housemate they wished to win rather than evict.

The Celebrity Big Brother 2007 racism controversy occured during series 5 of the British version of Celebrity Big Brother. The show had been heavily criticised by both fans and the media; much of the criticism was focused around the treatment of housemate Shilpa Shetty by three of the other 'housemates' on the programme. The three in question were Jade Goody, Jo O'Meara and Danielle Lloyd.

Channel 4 received an additional 3,000 complaints,[61][62] about racism and bullying by housemates against Shetty. The Eastern Eye newspaper launched an online petition that registered over 30,000 signatures.[63][64] Channel 4 initially described the situation as "girly rivalry" but later admitted there had "undoubtedly been a cultural clash between her and three of the British females in the house".[65] // Ofcom was designed to be a super regulator, required in an age where many media platforms are converging. ...

Basis of accusations

The accusations were based on the following actions:

  • Jade Goody's mother, Jackiey Budden, repeatedly referred to Shilpa as "the Indian" or "Princess" while she was on the show because was unable to pronounce her name.[66] However, during her eviction interview, Davina coerced Jackiey into saying "Shilpa" and Jackiey pronounced it properly, although a bit agitated.
  • Jack Tweed, Jade's boyfriend, called Shilpa Shetty a "fucking [expletive]", with the bleeped-out expletive variously reported as "cunt"[67] and "Paki". [68]
  • On Days 11 and 12, Danielle Lloyd and Jo O'Meara poked fun at Shilpa's accent.[66] Lloyd has also referred to Shilpa as a "dog".[69]
  • Jo implied that all Indians were thin because they were always ill as a result of undercooking their food because she believed Shilpa undercooked a chicken meal.[66]
  • Referring to Shilpa using hair bleaching cream on her face, Danielle said "she's trying to make her face look white."[66]
  • After an argument between Shilpa and Jade, witnessed by a giggling Jo and Danielle, Danielle said she thought Shilpa should "just fuck off home" and (in response to Shilpa's recommendation that Jade take etiquette lessons) that Shilpa could not speak English properly.[70] She also mentioned to Jo that she didn't like Shilpa touching her food because "you don't know where her hands have been". The next morning, Danielle spoke to Shilpa about the situation, but did not apologise. During the conversation in the bedroom, Jade entered, sat in front of Danielle, blocking out Shilpa, and began doing makeup. As Shilpa left, Danielle told Jade that she "tried apologising to her". Later Danielle made an awkward attempt to apologize by saying "I feel really bad, I feel disgusted with myself the way I've treated you and the way I've acted, because I'm not like that, Shilpa, really," ... "And you can even cook me curry and you can pick the onions out with your fingers."[71]
  • Jade referred to Shilpa as, among other things, 'Shilpa Popadom', 'Shilpa Durupa' and 'Shilpa Fuckawala'. She later said she had done this with no intention of racism. Commenting on this in the Diary Room, she apologised if her actions had offended anybody.[72][73]
  • Even after Jade apologised to Shilpa (On day 16), Jack continued to abuse Shilpa. Jack confessed that he was very disappointed with Jade for apologising to Shilpa, and called Shilpa a "dick". He previously described Shilpa as a "wanker".[74]

The three girls under most scrutiny for racist accusations — Goody, Lloyd and O'Meara - repeatedly stated, amongst each other and the other housemates, that they feel Shilpa is a 'fake' and a 'phony'.[75] This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedias deletion policy. ...

Reaction

Media Reaction

Various media outlets initially characterized the issue as 'girlish rivalry'[76] but later blamed it on bullying and racism. As time progressed, the majority of media coverage on Goody became negative, although accusations of racism were superseded by those of bullying. An editorial published by The Daily Mirror on 18 January 2007 called Beauty V Bigot deplored what they referred to as "disgraceful racist bullying of Big Brother's Shilpa Shetty" and criticised Channel 4 management for maintaining that there wasn't a racial element to the bullying.[77] The British tabloids mostly concentrated on the comments made by Goody, rather than those made by Jack, Danielle and Jo towards Shilpa, as well as the bullying from them. For instance, when Jade and Shilpa were arguing over Oxo cubes, Shilpa pleaded with Jo for assistance by saying “Jo, I mean, are you going to say something here what is happening here?” to which Jo responded by bursting out laughing into Shilpa's face. Jermaine later said "when all this was going on I saw Danielle and Jo laughing and then branded them as “the allies”."

Vanni Treves, Channel 4's former chairman, urged the station to cancel the show.[79]Yet the chances of this are unlikely as Big Brother is Channel 4's biggest money-spinner, accounting for around seven per cent of its total £800 million advertising income.[79]


Political reaction

Leicester East MP Keith Vaz has tabled an Early Day Motion with parliament addressing this issue,[80] while Chancellor of the Exchequer Gordon Brown has condemned the attacks.[1] Tony Blair refused to comment on the issue as he has not been watching the show, although he did condemn racism in all its forms.

In an interview with Commission for Equality and Human Rights chairman Trevor Phillips, broadcast on BBC One on the 21st of January, Channel 4 chairman Luke Johnson was held accountable for what Phillips termed as 'failing to deal properly with the crisis'. Phillips has suggested Johnson should "make clear that they got it wrong" and admit that "they intervened too little too late". He also suggested that Channel 4 should not profit from the series, giving all of the money to charity. If this fails to happen it has been suggested, by Phillips, that further action could be taken by the culture secretary and Johnson's job could be under threat.[83] Trevor Phillips Trevor Phillips OBE (born in London on December 31, 1953) is a Black British Labour politician and former political journalist of Guyanese origins. ...

Reaction in India

In response to the alleged racism being directed at actress Shetty in the Big Brother House, protesters took to the streets in India and burned effigies of the show's organisers. The Indian Government also plans to raise the issue with the British Government.[84] India Tourism Office has extended an "invitation" to Jade Goody, to visit India and experience its "healing nature."[85] The effigy of John Gower in Southwark Cathedral, London. ...


Police investigation

According to the BBC Shetty confided in fellow housemate Cleo Rocos that she feared the arguments between Goody, O'Meara, Lloyd and herself was the result of her race. After being told by Cleo that this was unlikely, Shilpa retorted by saying "It is, I'm telling you". Shilpa did not lodge an official complaint of racist behaviour to Big Brother.[65] Yet Shetty's admission has forced police to investigate whether or not to classify her treatment as 'racial hatred' under Part III of the Public Order Act 1986. The British Broadcasting Corporation, usually known as the BBC (and also informally known as the Beeb or Auntie) is one of the largest broadcasting corporations in the world in terms of audience numbers, employing 26,000 staff in the UK alone and with a budget of more than £4 billion. ...

We will continue to liaise with Ofcom and with Endemol, whom we have strongly encouraged to ensure that any form of behaviour that could raise similar concerns, does not occur. We will continue to closely monitor the situation over the next few days. Hertfordshire Constabulary will not tolerate racism in any form and is taking these allegations seriously. The constabulary has experience of investigating and resolving incidents in the Big Brother house in past seasons."[86]

Shetty later withdrew her claims of racism, stating she did not think Jade was being racist during their argument.[87] However, Shetty is unaware of all the alleged insults levelled against her, often done behind her back.


Sponsor and corporate backlash

On 18 January, The Carphone Warehouse suspended its sponsorship of Celebrity Big Brother with immediate effect over the alleged racism. This does not however, entitle the Carphone Warehouse to recoup prepaid sponsorship monies, therefore causing minimal financial damage to Channel 4 [88][89] The company's chief executive, Charles Dunstone, said in a statement: January 18 is the 18th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ... The Carphone Warehouse Group PLC (LSE: CPW), known as The Carphone Warehouse, is Europes largest independent mobile phone retailer, with over 1,700 stores across Europe. ... Charles Dunstone (born 21 November 1964) is the CEO and co-founder of mobile phone retailer Carphone Warehouse. ...

"Our concern has rapidly mounted about the broadcast behaviour of individuals within the Big Brother house. We are totally against all forms of racism and bullying and indeed this behaviour is entirely at odds with the brand values of the Carphone Warehouse. As a result we feel that as long as this continues we are unable to associate our brand with the programme. We had already made it clear to Channel 4 that were this to continue, we would have to consider our position. Nothing we saw last night gave us any comfort. Accordingly we have instructed Channel 4 to remove our sponsorship name and branding with immediate effect."[90]

Big Brother intervenes in the racism controversy

A Channel 4 spokeswoman admitted Big Brother had intervened in the latest row - but only to make contestants "realise that what they have said has been misconstrued in the house". The idea, she said, was to allow the housemates "to explain themselves" to their fellow contestants.[96]This was followed by a series of apologies by the housemates to Shilpa and a declaration by her that she did not believe Jade was racist. Also Jade said inside the house before she left: "I know why there's no noise." When Shilpa asked "Why?" Jade replied: "I know, but I can't tell you.[7] In an interview with the Daily Star, Jade admitted that, during her final hours in the Channel 4 house, Big Brother had revealed that her abuse of Shilpa had ruined her own “girl-next-door” image.[97] The Daily Star is a British tabloid newspaper. ...
