Many thought the remark was racially charged, Jack later apologized to Kemi for his statement during the finale after being confronted by Julie Chen about the comments during his elimination weeks prior.
Big Brother fans first spoke out when contestant Jack Matthews targeted Kemi Fakunle early in Season 21, telling others in the house that he would “stomp a mud hole through her.”
Later it was revealed producers were given “unconscious bias” training that season, after an interview with Fakunle, the cast’s only black female, revealed a producer tried to encourage her to act in a more stereotypical way.
