Big Brother's Chima Simone Addresses Eviction and Racism

HOLLYSCOOP EXCLUSIVE
August 19, 2009

Chima Simone
Chima Simone may no longer be in the "Big Brother" house, but she still has a few things on her mind she wants to clear up with BB fans.

Since entering the "Big Brother 11" house last month, Simone has been one of the season's most outspoken houseguests, and she found herself in the center of controversy when she used derogatory terms to describe "Russell’s abusive, bullying, and threatening actions."

Speaking exclusively to Hollyscoop, Chima released the following statement about her eviction from "Big Brother 11" and issues her apologies to those she may have offended on the show. She wrote:

Upon recently leaving the Big Brother show this season I have been privy to many judgments and criticisms made of every aspect of my being ranging from things as trivial as my appearance to more egregious comments referring to me as a racist.

As a woman of color, I have experienced racism first hand. I know what it is to be discriminated against so I would never want to inflict that pain onto someone else. I will, however, always stand up for myself. Many of you perceive my resolute candor objectionable, but I have always been outspoken and will remain so. I will never apologize for my looks, personality, or straightforwardness.

Nonetheless, I am particularly sorry that my words disparaged the regard and respect that should be shown to all cultures, especially the Middle Eastern community in this time of great turmoil within our nations. In describing Russell’s abusive, bullying, and threatening actions towards me and other houseguests, I referred to him as a terrorist. I used a phrase that was insensitive given his Middle Eastern descent and I apologize to all who are justifiably offended with my use of that racially charged term.

My sentiments concerning his behavior, however, remain intact. I do not agree with his antagonistic rampages throughout the house. Russell constantly demoralized many of us on a consistent basis and his conduct was alarming, daunting, and terrifying.

Fortunately, for me, I do not have to be subjected to those tirades anymore. I am going on with my life in the real world. I wish the remaining BB housemates the best of luck!

Best,
Chima Simone

Thank you CBS for taking Chima off the air. The girl was unpleasant and beyond shallow from the word go. All she is is a spoiled Brat who couldn't get her way so she quit. Go Jeff and Jordan and nice people everywhere. You don't have to be an asshole to win Big Brother!

I believe that Chima Simone should run for President in 2012, because she did not even mention the real reason why she was removed from BB, come on people she broke the rules about her mic and then throwing it in the jacuzzi, then not wearing the other one. Boy this one takes the cake-but like I often say race is something no one can change-you can act but deep down you are who you are-as for Chima its really hard to tell what your race is, when you are just like everyone else who has a big mouth-it seems a foot is soon to follow-I am glad BB kicked you out-and as far as your statement "I am going on with my life in the real world." If your so called "real world" exists I feel sympathy for those who are in it, but grateful "your real world" doesn't belong on T.V.

I have been a bb fan every since season 1. However, I did not agree with the way that they used the coup etat. It was not earned and given to Jeff because America liked him. I felt that Chima had a right to be upset when her power of hoh was practically taken away from her. It was something that she had EARNED!!! And then to have that cray Michelle to stab her in the back like she did was just too much for Chima, plus Russel was picking at her too......... However, Chima, you should have stayed and fought for the injustice that was done to you......and the best way to do that was to get even..and get rid of the wizard, jeff...You did let your fans and friends down, and let this be the last time you let anyone get in your way to acheive something that you are trying to win or accomplish....When you left you left your fellow houseguest, alliances down. Remember being strong means that you have to stand up for what is right....not quit or give in.

Angelfight...Why is it different for the CDT than it was for the first HOH of this season? It wasn't okay for the CDT to be given to someone by America's Choice but it was OK for Jesse to get back into the house without even competing for it and winning it on his own? DOUBLE STANDARD!!
11:29AM 09/02/09 JayeBird
Feline1991...as far as your remarks about Chima coming onto russell...you didn't see him REFUSING them either...so let's put the blame where it goes regarding that aspect, 50% on Chima and 50% on Russell. I am, by no means, a Chima fan, far from it, so before you jump and say that I am because I just said that, let's just clear that up. Neither one of them were right. Chima got what she deserved, and so did Russell. Chima acted like a spoiled rotten little DIVA wannabe. Unfortunately, by her doing so, and us all still talking about it, we have made her infamous. That is, after all, what she wanted to begin with!!
11:24AM 09/02/09 JayeBird
Chima is just as much at fault as Russell was. They were BOTH wrong. Two wrongs do NOT make a right so Chima wasn't right either. Calling Russell a terrorist and THEN backpeddling once she got called out on it, just shows that she's a sneaky beotch to begin with. I find her behavior in the house deplorable, and so did her gramma. Enuff said.
5:41PM 09/01/09 Marcy1965
I won't give it a rest i believe she should be fired and everyone has a right to there opinions and the comments chima made turned my stomach.
5:53PM 08/31/09 suepastarr
Ok...yeah so Chima is educated, but what about her actions? Throwing things in the house and having a temper tantrum, like a 2 year old. Did you even see her walk all the way outside to throw a drink on Russell? It doesn't matter how well you're educated if you can't behave yourself and show some class.
9:13AM 08/31/09 roz1618
to the poster who stated chima made African Americans look bad..speak for urself.. the entire USA does not watch big brother..so who are we kidding?. and even if so..Chima's actions and points of view have nothing to do w/each and every black person.."you" must think that all black ppl "act" that way..well chima does not represent the masses (or at least her actions on BB)..I personally luv the girl and thinks she has a good head on her shoulders. (she's no dummy) Her family has instilled in her the importance of higher learning and she will go far..this will not hinder her.
8:58AM 08/31/09 roz1618
As far as theses posters complaining about chima's employment w/Hollyscoop..give it a damn rest!!!!..we have had ppl running this country who have said more "racist" things..have u rallied together to have "them" fired..u ppl turn my stomach!!! (to those that it applies)
8:53AM 08/31/09 roz1618
@akaleena, I couldn't agree w/u more..WE all know that this Hatred is more deep rooted..ppl kill me trying to hide behind bs!!! Yes, chima took some cheap shots but just as u stated so has "ken and barbie"..wow..the game is rigged for certain ppl to win!!! bottom line I too am a Chima fan..and applaud her for her continuing education unlike jordan who opts to work at place like (hooters) as a career move..go figure!!!!
0:16AM 08/31/09 suepastarr
Chima, I feel really sorry for you. You try to make excuses for all your actions. Just because you're a woman of "color" doesn't mean you're not a racist. I actually think you're more of a sexest than a racist, but that's not really the point is it. You always play the victim, and act like you can do no wrong. In your appology you said so much, but so little about your actions. You talk about men verbally abusing women, but what about you, a woman, verbally abusing men? I don't think of you as a strong woman. I see you as someone who is so weak and insecure that you are a control freak. I understand that BB is just a show, but with the way you behaved I think you have some major issues to work out. I feel very sorry for you. Hopefully, you'll seek the help you truely need and crave. Learn to think before you speak, that way you won't get yourself into this situation again.
11:16AM 08/28/09 Marcy1965
For one hate is a very stong word. I don't hate anyone, but i do hate people's actions. There is a difference.
6:03AM 08/27/09 akaleena
For those Chima-haters, you may as well stone me now and get it out of your system. I hope it makes you feel better when you're done, minus a little fatigue, high blood pressure, ulcers, your own personal ANGER issues, and the like. Otherwise, I hope you all are well. Personally, I LIKE Chima. (Are the darts flying yet? What about knives? Hot coals?) Whenever people are willing to get real about some personal feelings hoovering under the current, we can have a true conversation about some things. For instance, the darlings of the show called Ken and Barbie (oops I meant Jeff and Jordan) are now having over-the-top fights in the house now, with Russell being the main target. (Russell started a lot of these fights, too, the SAME way he did with Chima.) They are calling people ugly names, being rude, obnoxious, and making personal and unneccesary attacks on people's character. Hmmmm, no Jeff and Jordon hate? Awwww, isn't their behavior right now just cuter than cute? NOT! So lets just cut straight to the chase. All this Chima hate is coming from somewhere, but no one wants to admit it. Why else would she be so villainized, while others are getting a pat on the back - or at least a pass? Oh! Let me guess ... they are defending themselves. Uh, yeah, JUST like Chima did.
3:06AM 08/27/09 otk007
consider this Chima, 1. Even if Russell gets evicted, he still outlasted you in the house and made you appear as a weak woman who can't even take a game. 2. You were right about all of America laughing at you when your nominations were replaced. You looked like a fool and it was the best episode in BB history. The country now sees you as a racist woman who acts like a man and has major psychological problems. Good job though, you wasted your jury vote and hurt your alliance/friends. 3. You didn't quit! It doesn't matter that you asked to leave the BB house cause in the end you didn't. You only left when they forcefully kicked you out like an animal; probably cause you were too hideous for TV.
6:00PM 08/26/09 viewer6
Chima are you laughing at the behaviors in the house these days? Wow, folks in there are acting like a_ _ es. And you are gone, cannot be blamed, good move. I wish you would let me in on your twitter, I would love to hear your take on the house these days.
1:03AM 08/26/09 Marcy1965
Yes i agree the more we talk about it, the more they love it. I have went to other post, and this is by far has more adults on it. OMG some people are making such racist comments on these other sites that it isn't even funny. I also went and checked some of Chima's other comments on Twitter. Don't waste your time. Nothing she says sounds intelligent, more like High School in my opinion. I can tell you one thing, that woman is not sorry about one thing she has said or done. So you know what we can be proud of who we are and hold are heads up high. Can she say the same. So be proud of who you are, because no matter what color we are, we are all proud to be Americans.
11:38PM 08/25/09 mixed4luv
Viewer6 Are you for real darlin? I mean what is your point? You are all over the damn place. Can you simply state in one sentence what your point is without going on and on? Chima did what she did and what? You support her? You admire her? Who elected you to be our voice? Noone did you said that coup de ta was not announced when boogie had it for real are you being serious? How do you propose to prove that hun? You my girl are not fighting the good fight you are embarrassing yourself over and over. Pop open another bottle and go ahead and write yourself into a frenzy. People who watched this one know what they heard. Like I said before Chima is an equal oppurtunity racist and you say you are too. You make me ashamed of our race, do you really believe what you said about women in jail for taking down men? I don't think your a women at all I think you are probably some fat man with no life who likes to cyberbully kinda like RONNIE! Is that you Ronnie we all know cyberbullying is your thing and so is BB and solitary and any other reality show you can try out for. Ok Ronnie you said in one post you were done (viewer6) no be gone! For all of the other posters let this thread go because the more you write the more they love it. Leave it go and go post on another site. Support someone else not this tired old wanna be actress. Goodnight Ronnie/I mean viewer6 LMAO LMAO sweetdreams!

Dear HollyScoop, You need to fire Chima Simone as of right now. As a viewer of TV and reading the magazines that are put out, this women needs to go. She is a racist, terrorist and a complete idiot. thank you
8:28AM 08/25/09 Marcy1965
It doesn't mean much to me either. I don't think she meant a word of it.
7:53AM 08/25/09 Silverick
I re-read Chima's apology this morning and according to what I have read in the comments section of this article... Her words weren't taken to heart by many.
9:00PM 08/23/09 BB11VIEWER
As a person who lives in NYC, who saw the towers from a 14th floor conference room floor to ceiling window in the CNN Building in midtown Manhattan, as someone who was affected by that whole situation (I had family and friends who were at work in and around the world trade center at that time, one of which did not make it out alive but put in a last phone call to his wife while he was trapped), I am going to be honest and say that Chima's comparing herself to the twin towers did not disturb me as much as her behavior in general, the bigger picture was much more disturbing to me than her stupidity in using that incident to further her cause.
7:23PM 08/23/09 Marcy1965
I did read some of the comments as well, and they are letting people be just as honest about her as Hollywood Scoop, and CBS. I know she is telling lie after lie. I wish she would just stop trying to justify her actions. You know what is really sad is she has created alot of hate, and more racism with people. How can people think that the comments people are making are just because she is African American. Did everyone forget that we pulled together and elected a African American for President. I think that right there says alot about all Americans. I have read some blogs that people have used the N word, and i hate the word as much as Chima using the white trash comment on Jordan. Lets not hate on each other. She is sitting back and laughing at all of this, and we are all going at each other with some very hurtful words. I believe what happened to Chima put alot of hate in her, and she is sharing it with the world. She needs help, and we are all going to her level as long as we keep cutting each other down. I know her statements hit alot of people very hard. She should have never compared herself to as the Twin Tower when she was cutting Russel down and calling him a terrorist. That was a big NO NO, and i can imagine hurtful to the families who lost loved ones on September 11Th. So remember people it is 2009, not 1909 we have come along way to let one person tare us apart as a changed nation and not back to a racist nation. So lets all remember this is a game because somewhere down the line Chima forgot that this was a game. All we can do is pray god touches her, heals or, and that TV stations will be smart enough not to let her speak unless she is going to tell America how sorry she is and mean it. So with that said i think it is time to just go on with our lives.
5:19PM 08/23/09 BB11VIEWER
Don't pay any attention to Chima. She knows what the public thinks of her, how can she not. I didn't look for her on Twitter (don't have an account) but I am sure her ugly and fat comment is just a defense mechanism. She can't see anyone through the computer and if you don't fit into that category why should you care. At this point, Chima doesn't know how to make this situation right so, it appears as if she has chosen to stand her position and not back down because to concede would mean defeat to her and she has difficulty with rejection, defeat and control.
6:02AM 08/23/09 tamoyo
I wonder if Chima after leaving BB has been able to go out in public and show her face. Has any one recognized her and given her any flack. Even if she takes out her bad weave and tries to change her look so no one recognizes her she can't hide those HUGE lips, nor could she mask her ugly, self center, rude, opinionated, full of hate personality. Besides her grand parents they showed her best girlfriend. I wonder what her friend thinks about her now.
7:32PM 08/22/09 Marcy1965
To the person who wrote Chimangel NOT. I really don't think Chima has to many fans or friends and we all don't look through rose colored glasses. She offended America and now she has to deal with it. As far as her getting fired and i hope she does. She make her bed she can sleep in it.
7:17PM 08/22/09 Marcy1965
Hollywood Scoop i just went to Twitter and read some of her comments. For you information Chima you are wrong about everyone either being fat or ugly. You are the ugliest women in the world and how dare you compare yourself to the Twins Towers. Alot of goog people died that day. You are not a good person. Anyone who is your friend or sticks up for you has no morals what so ever. You are a joke, and most of all a racist. I believe America we should protest Hollywood Scoop and make them fire her. She just keeps on insulting America everyday when she opens her mouth. One more thing you are not a strong women you are the weakest, saddest, most unintelligent women i have ever heard speak and an embarrassment to all African Americans in the world.

I find it hilarious that most of my detractors are ugly or fat. Sometimes a combination of the two. High school all over again. LOL! 5:02 PM Aug 18th
6:50PM 08/22/09 noahssmomma
Chima is just not a very classy person. A woman with cla knows when to take the high road and hold their tongue. When to fight and when to just let it go. A woman with class does not throw water in someones face, does not plot to spit on someone. Does not insult groups of other people different from themselves. She is a Z lister who thinks she's an A lister. Diva??? I think not just rude. This is one of her recent twitter posts. "I find it hilarious that most of my detractors are ugly or fat. Sometimes a combination of the two. High school all over again. LOL! 5:02 PM Aug 18th" She made my point for me, she is just a rude person who doesn't treat others with respect but expects to be treated with respect. respect is earned Chima and you have not earned it.
4:05PM 08/22/09 justmeintx
Chima, I thought you were incredible at first. You survived a rape by a serial killer. I did not care about your looks or what race you were. You were a strong WOMAN, not a strong BLACK woman. But you chose to put down those of a different race. You chose to LAUGH in regards to 9-11. My son fought and was injured for our country. I don't care what color you are or where you are from. You HURT America worse than the person you hurled the insults at. You put down the people lost that day by laughing about it. You put down the Middle Eastern people who did NOT attack us on that day as a whole. Just as there are bad apples in every situation, not every person from the Middle East is evil. The only one who used racism in that house as you can see from being out here now is YOU starting with lying about Braden, screaming about Muslims when we are at WAR and laughing about 9-11. This time, the bad apple in the house was YOU.
10:22AM 08/22/09 lizard1man
WELL what would be happening right now if one of the white houseguests had used a similar verbal tirade against cheeema? moral outrage etc. this is as strong a case of reverse discrimination as you will ever see. this middle aged woman( cheema )should surely know better. has anyone confirmed her story about her serial killer? i view her as a bitter spoiled middle aged woman who has very little in her life. to be so high and mighty when she was on top, then be such a loser when it got a little rough. give me a break! i feel really sorry for her grandmother. the clip that aired of her grandmother showed a very proud woman who was totally discusted by the actions of her granddaughter. you could see her pain! it's not about me, it never will be about me. until you realize that , you will always be empty. p.s. it's not about you cheema (correct pronuciation of you african name that was so proudly given to you at your birth). it never will be. maybe one day you can figure that out and fill your life and soul. and most of all take the sadness out of your grandmas heart before she passes.

BB11, Hola, and Nice to know :) I understand that people need to vent, but we did vent before the internet. We had shrinks or friends we would call. The problem with the internet is that it is a public forum and if ostracize someone here, its like going outside and screaming someone's a b-tch without taking the same risks as going outside and screaming someone's a b-tch, lol. If your willing to do it, you should reap the outcome. Why do I come back to this site? I have a life, there is more to life than Chima, lol. I just don't know..........
0:45AM 08/22/09 viewer6
Ded, awwww come on now. I have tried to get things out of a friend's hand plenty of times, what they usually do, is raise the item in their hands up above their heads, followed by moving the item in their hands behind their backs and repeat. He didn't have to burn her. He pointed that flame directly at her hands while she was trying to pick the cig from them and repeatedly burned her. No excuse for that. That's like me saying Russel attacked Chima so she was force to call him the "T" name. She wasn't forced she could have justifiably gave him many different insults instead. But your whole argument is my reasoning for saying this is overkill. Excuses for a physical assault, nothing but hatred for Chima. What a world.
0:37AM 08/22/09 ErikaTV
Referring to yourself as the 'Twin Towers' was the most objectionable thing that I heard you utter in the Big Brother house. I was in NYC on 9/11 and lost friends. Your glib comment and laughter at the joke you seemed to believe so funny was very hurtful...thousands of people died in those towers and thousands more live with the terror of that day. The last thing I was looking for was an apology from you. Your conduct in the Big Brother house shows that you are indeed a racist and extremely insensitive to the world around you. Southern people are not stupid, nor are they all racists, you are the racist. What we all need is for you to educate yourself...we don't need an apology for your ignorant behavior.
10:33PM 08/21/09 dedhedinwv
Oh wow...I don't leave posts, I like to read them though. I really feel it necessary to post for the first time in a long time and I have a lot to say...First thing I wanna say is AMEN "disgusted" you already posted over half the stuff I wanted to say..and THANK YOU, glad to know that I wasn't the only one watching the live feeds..and honestly I was a little pissed at Allison Grodner and the producers for making Chima look so nice on TV by saying that Russell was "terrorizing" the women in the house. I was really pissed that they didn't show Chima stealing Russell's rosary. As a southern woman (I'm originally from TN), I was personally offended by Chima's statements about southern people. Being raised as a southern woman, I was taught there are 3 things that you don't "attack" people for..1. Race 2. Political Beliefs 3. Religous beliefs. Chima is an ignorant, self absorded human being. Let her live in her own little world and let her believe what she wants. I would give anything to be on BB. It's an oportunity of a life time...what a lot of the viewers didn't see is Chima, Lydia, and Natalie making demands from BB...from anywhere to shampoo to nailpolish. Insane! I have never seen this behaviour before in the house. Oh, and viewer6, what BB were you watching??? Jen was supposed to be on slop, ED was outside smoking, Jen was eating a piece of pizza, ED called her out on it, Jen got pissed and started raising hell on ED for smoking and went for ED physically and ED tried to defend himself, she got burned, got pissed, and went inside and destroyed ED's smokes. As for you Chima...I hope you read these posts if anything...out of curiousity. When I first seen that "strong woman" on BB, I was pumped and I started rooting for you girl. Then your true colors started showing the more I watched you on the live feeds the more shocked I was. Take this experience and learn from it. Just stop justifying making racial remarks, there is no excuse for that level of ignorance. Not in this day and age. Take all that bad stuff that has happened to you and turn into positive, and not into a license to degrade others and to be a diva. Bad things happen to a lot of people, you aren't the only one. The world doesn't owe you anything.
10:04PM 08/21/09 disgusted
Oh Chima, Chima, Chima? I have a news flash for you?you are not a strong woman. Strong woman don?t give up just because things are not going their way. What you are is a mean, SELF ABSORBED, hypocritical, racist, bully. I can?t believe that you are still trying to slant things to make yourself look better. What you seem to be forgetting is that you can?t slant things because your behavior is recorded on the live feeds. (Lucky for you that CBS gave you a good edit.) You seem to have selective memory so here let me help you out. I will give you a list of nasty comments that can all be backed up from the live clips. I?m sure if you were to ask, BB fans would be more than willing to send links to those clips. So here goes. 1. You were mad at Russell so you said that you wanted him to go to prison so that he would get raped up the butt. (You know what it is like to be raped and then you have the nerve to make that comment. After that disgusting comment I think you might have blown any chance at doing any speaking engagements that you hoped to do.) 2. You kept screaming at Russell that he was a terrorist. (Look in the mirror Chima, there are many examples of you terrorizing the houseguests as well as CBS.) 3. Chima, you said that you weren?t worried about the terrorist comments because you would put a spin on what you said. While somehow you were able to twist those terrorist comments to your convenience. You turned your terrorist comment around to act like you were just saying that Russell was terrorizing everyone in the house. Okay so you got away with that one, but there is no slanting these next two terrorist comments. 4. Russell is a terrorist and you are the Twin Towers. Then you went on to say that all Americans feel the same way and hate him. 5. After stealing his rosary you stated, ?He?s not even catholic. He?s extremist Muslim terrorist.? 6. You called Ronnie a racist Nazi. 7. You made the comment, dumb ass southerners whom can't even speak English. 8. Another of your comments was, Red States will not vote for brown people. 9. You called Jordon white trash. 10. You labeled a few of the males in the BB house as misogynists. 11. You made reference to Jeff being in the mob because he is Italian and because of where he lives and who his friends are. 12. You called Jordon a ho?this one is seriously funny because aren?t you the one who said that if Russell won HOH you would sleep with him. (This you are willing to do on National TV)Hmmm yeah!! (And who is calling who a ho?) Then Russell had the nerve to turn you down and you got all pissy and then the fun started. 13. You were trying to incite Russell to violence. You threw water on Russell and threatened to spit on him all in order to try and get him to hit you. If your apology had of been heart felt I am sure that most people would forget all of this. If you had come out and taken responsibility for what you said, and said I?m sorry the pressure of the game was more than I could handle and through being in the house I realize that I still have some unresolved issues that I need to deal with. But no, you have to still try to pretend that you only meant that Russell was terrorizing the house. What you don?t realize is that you have blown your chances now. Even if after watching the clips you decided to truly apologize it probably would be too little too late. I hope that one day you can come to understand that it is not all about you Chima and I hope that your family is able to convince you to get the help that you truly need.

Chima is NOT an employee of Viacom. She is employed by HOLLYSCOOP. When she worked the BET awards she was there representing HOLLYSCOOP. So there was no conflict of interest. And yes--Chima Benson Simone is a seriously damaged person. I feel sorry for her.
2:13PM 08/21/09 towerflower
Some people keep bringin up Evil Dick and burning a HG with a cigarette, what happened was the HG's own doing, she was taking swings at ED trying to knock it away because she was mad that he was smoking and blowing the smoke in her direction and he held it up in a way to defend himself and she would be burned in the process. If she hadn't started to swing at him it never would have happened. It wasn't like he just walked up to her and burned her.

Viewer6: I know exactly what you are talking about...and you keep bringing race into the issue. Everything I have quoted you saying involves race, but you say it does not. Typical.
1:06PM 08/21/09 BB11VIEWER
Grandeve '09 Maybe Chima was like this all along but you said you don't know what happened her maybe what happened to her was the rape. It is obvious that there are issues re: Control (letting go of and gaining) and that may have its roots in her attack. In a million years, I could never imagine what Chima went through nor would I, I can only try and feel empathetic toward her. However, if the cause of her current behavior has its roots in her attack then after reading these posts (I don't know if she will) or reviewing her actions on BB, one can only hope that she recognizes the need for counseling.

viewer6: Like I said, Dick was an a** but, if burning someone with a cigarette was against "the rules", he would have been escorted out of the house like Chima was. You seem to have missed the part of the show when Chima was escorted right past the chair in the DR, as she probably made a move to sit down, and then someone opened the "exit" door for her!

Viewer 6, What you posted is very true, I've come across a half dozen people at least who use the internet as their safety net to say what they are unable to in person or in a public forum ( in other words, they don't have the guts to say it out loud because they know in a public forum that kind of display would be unacceptable) but I also recognize that sometimes people need an outlet to vent and that what they have to say may not always be politcally correct. So, the only place they feel safe to do it is on the net.

Again Hollywood Scoop are you going to continue employing Chima? How can you let her work for you knowing the damage she has done, the comments she has made. All of America is waiting. I personally think we should start a petition and see then if they will here us. She should not be allowed on any TV station, or allowed to make accuse for her actions. She has said enough as far as i'm concerned.

BB11, You are heard and understood. Still like I said, if the question of racism doesn't pertain to you, you should not feel any negatives. Actually, you should and anyone like you should simply sit back and observe the ebb and flo, because it has nothing to do with you. That question was levied at those that MAY be guilty. You see, I think the INTERNET has spawned (and I say this generally not to someone personally) a new breed of sneaky, anonymous, hateful, biased, keyboard bigot. I think in life they are weak and they use an internet interFACE not face to face to spew all kinds of nasty, trifling garbage in the name of their so called version of conviction and judgement. Now they may have to? FACE their own so called facts:)

CBS / Viacom / Hollywood Scoop/ Etc. – Will you be thinking twice before allowing Chima Simone back into your fold? After seeing the responses you have received as well as the other responses at Examiner.com and all over the web, do you believe she can relate to the public or possibly be the best person to interview others or have any other position that will put her in the spotlight? Have you taken into consideration her actions and words she herself displayed on while being a guest on the show “Big Brother”? Or the lack of her taking responsibility for her own actions - as displayed in the letters she has written to the media? Because you asked for comments and opinions – here is mine: I for one am concerned about Chima’s stress levels when working with others – especially when she can’t / doesn’t get her way! It was very apparant to me that while a GUEST of the BB show, she very mithodically planned and stated what she would do if she did not get her way! It was not a "instant reaction" to a new situation. She talked and told the cameras what she would do and did it! She may fill your needs on the red carpet, however I am concerned AND FEAR that she may was ever asked to do something that she did not want to do, she would rebell and display her thoughts in public and attack people she is supposed to be interviewing, someone in the audience, or a staff member as she did on “Big Brother”. It is very clear to me that she does not care about how she treats others, is purposely abusive with the equipment she is assigned, and lacks any concern for people she is supposed to be working with! I personally believe it is in the best interest of everyone for Chima to receive psychological counseling before being allowed to work back in any position much less previous ones. If I were in your shoes, I would not want to expose my company, staff, or the public to any further humiliation, etc! Please understand, this is my personal opinion. I am not saying she doesn't deserve a job, but I am saying her displays of hostility, racial comments, and other behaviors concern me so greatly that I am sharing my concerns with you - as an AMERICAN consumer. These opinions may or may not matter to you, but at least I have made an effort to share and warn you of possible events - as Chima did to the BB producers and AMERICA. However, the difference is that I am not trying to be mean, vindictive, or just have my way - my purpose because I do not want to see her tirades anymore, hear lying and inappropriate racial remarks - especially in public forums such as this website, and to protect others the best way I know how! Just like Chima - I have the right to my opinion and free speech. She gave her two-cents and now I have given mine!!!

Viewer 6, I never stated that the issue of race should be hushed and I don't think that I have disrespected your opinion. What I am saying is that I don't think it applies where Chima is concerned. The way she behaved gave viewers a wealth of things other than race to hold against her. Sure, there may be one or two racists amongst us who will use her behavior as a reason to bash the black race but overall, I don't think this is the case. I think what you are reading from some posters is their exhaustion with having to bite their tongues for fear that what they say may be misconstrued and they'll be labeled racist. Not every forum or thread has to do with white against black or white against everyone else and when it is introduced into a forum where many have actually seen or read the behavior of this woman in the household, it is akin to telling people that they didn't see what they saw and they misunderstood what they read, so they have no valid logic based reason for disliking the behavior of Chima. Only an invalid and an illogical reason can account for the lambasting that Chima is receiving and that would be racism and that is ridiculous.

Silverick, Do you really think that burning Jen with that cigarette, was following BB rules? Especially when it could get them sued. I think assault would be the biggest violation of the rules EVER. That is why I doubt Chima was kicked, she just couldn't be convinced to stay, and saying she was kicked gave BB back their power. Because if he wasn't kicked for assault then I can't see a reason to kick anyone. I actually watched him burn her repeatedly while she actually stood there and tried to pick the cig from his fingers, lol. Insane. Thats my opinion. You are entitled to disagree.
11:19AM 08/21/09 viewer6
BB11, Okay, I respect your opinion? Now respect mine or at leasts my right to have it. But why is it that racism or the discussion of the possibility should be hushed up, or offends so many. If for instance, someone said MAYBE the reason I disliked Evil or his ways, was that I was racist, First off I would break out in hysterical laughter. Why would I laugh? Because I'm a part of a beautiful, strong people, but a minority. I could be as racist as I want but without the numbers, which gives political and other powers it means little. Next I would deny it and tell why I feel the way I do about his ways. I would never want the discussion stopped, wanting the subject just dropped or swept under the rug or get so angry. If it doesn't pertain to me what do I care. The fact that so many refuse to simply discuss the possibility or lack of is curious.

Evil Dick was an a** but, followed and played by BB rules. Chima has issues and didn't follow or play by BB rules and was escorted out by her own actions. Nothing to do with race! Who are we going to Bad Rap next week? LOL

Viewer 6 what do you think I am doing? I am judging Chima by her actions, what else do I have to judge her on? I didn't like Evil Dick either. How do you know the same people who are complaining about Chima didn't also complain about him. I personally don't have any respect for a parent who can walk away from their child and have no relationship with them. Do you think Evil Dick has a relationship now after BB reunited them. I heard Chima's rat pack in the house and how they feel she let them all down. Isn't it funny that by Chima leaving it affect Michelle's time as a HOH, hell she was only HOH for what a day? Did you see her going off and having a temper tantrum, destroying property, etc? No, the game is to expect the unexpected. I thought it was very funny when Lydia said today that if Chima had been awarded the special power instead of Jeff and she didn't like who was on the block that she would have used it also. I have nothing against Chima I just think she has some problems and if people keep sweeping it under the carpet she going to explode more than what we saw. Perhaps she will build the bomb she was talking about. Who knows what some one can do when they are filled with that much hate, and loneliness. She was wrong and she needs to apologize and not make excuses for it. She has to own up to her actions. This has nothing to do with race. Have we forgotten that Kevina and Natalie are black? If had to do about race why weren't the black people voted out first? Why did 5 white people go before one black person. It has nothing to do with race. It's a game, and Chima wasn't cut out for it.

Viewer 6, you said something that disturbed me a little but you, by far are not the first person to do so. You said what about Evil Dick and all that he did? This statement implied that it was because of Dick's race that the same standards weren't applied to his rants as were those applied to Chima's. I've always thought that was the easy way out. When something happens to a person of color (Chima and black in this instance) that doesn't happen to a white, blame it on race. I am the first person to cry racism be it overt or subtle, when I sense it. I don't run to it every time things don't work in my favor. In addition, even if Evil Dick was an *ss and got away with being one does that mean Chima has the right to make one of herself and should all people of color keep quite even though we know she is behaving in such a vile manner, just because someone else did the same and got away with it? Do we not want better? It sounds like you're saying, Dick was a jerk, so it is o.k. for Chima to be one too and no one should have anything to say about it because they didn't say anything about Dick's behavior and if anybody does take issue with Chima's behavior it is because Chima is a black woman and there are racial undertones. Well nothing could be further from the truth in my case and I suspect many others. Although I don't know Chima personally (she may redeeming qualities, most of us do), as an outsider looking in, the view is not good.

txluvsjj thank you. That is the one thing i can say about the HS on Jordan & Jeff's team when they did get put up they didn't act like babies. They didn't give up and kept playing the game. That is why America gave Jeff the CTD not the other side of the house and not Chima. You know i'm really surprised with how America feels about Chima that Hollywood Scoop would still have her on the payroll? Oh well all i have to worry about is how i treat people, and i know that i treat people of all color way better then that. Chima we all answer for what we do in life and someday you will too!
8:07AM 08/21/09 viewer6
tamoyo and BB11, LOL, I don't even know the woman. I simply feel that no one black, white, Mexican or otherwise should be judged so harshly, game or not. I mention Evil a lot, but, I never, ever thought I or anyone else had the right to cuss him, slander him or otherwise. Simply stating his crimes, sure. But to say his life is a waste, his family should hate him, call him b-tches and the such, no. I see people are taking higher ground lately, simply speaking on her game play, nasty moments and such, that seems logical. I mean because you all spend a few weeks watching a person on the telly, how can you think you can JUDGE to the point of summing up a life, Chima's or anyone's? Seriously, our lives are inter-connected and any positive moment no matter how small could lead to great things. We all have those positive moments, including Chima. She will fight for any defeated woman, supposed that woman turns out to be your daughter. I'm sorry if I ruined your chance to quench your thirst for hate, I just felt I should say something, and I said a lot:) I wish you all the best and hope you all continue judge only actions and not people. if not keep in mind the new internet case, and be safe. Now that the model's (I forget her name)case was won and her having Google reveal her INTERNET attacker, you may have to FACE your own facts.

Marcy - I did and agree - I'm hoping the other players will be able to play without all of the personal racial attacks that Chima helped instigate! As for Jesse - he's a big boy. I think he will find a way to "handle" Lydia, in one way or another! =) Did you notice that when Michelle lost her "power" of being the HOH early because of one particular SORE LOSER (CHIMA), she didn't whine, cry, make threats or stomp out of the house? She continued to play the game with grace and dignity as did the other players. Some may have had moments of lost sanity, but they stayed and didn't just give up because they thought they might not win the game! Unfortunately, Chima is SO ARROGANT that she can't see the how her actions effect others or that the public sees her FAKE attempts to "white wash" her actions as she pretends they were somehow justified and reasonable! I think it's funny that she expects the the public she so willfully offended, to feel sorry for her because of "being a woman of color!" Apparently, she's still trying to play a game with herself, but is only fooling herself! There is a reason AMERICA did what we could to VOTE her "tushy" out of the house, off of our TV's, and out of our lives - F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!! She doesn't get it that we've seen her true colors and they are NOT pretty!!! Chima - Stop writing ridiculous letters so that Hollyscoop and Viacom / CBS will take you back and let you become a "star" on your own "show!" AMERICA does not want to deal with you or your tirades and drama! The only person who migh want to watch you MIGHT be your grandmother - but you still owe her an appolgy!!!!! As your good friend Ronnie said, "Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you!" Just keep walking and stop trying to come back! You burned your bridge - stay on the other side!

I was glad to see Lydia go, and now she can vacation with Jessie alone. Might not be a vacation for him though. Well now maybe everyone call finally play the game and get down to business. See you take the bad apple out of the bunch and the rest will not spoil.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Chima you first wrote the Examiner making claims you quit and that "letter" was an "exclusive"! Now you are writing Hollyscoop claiming this one is an "exclusive"? Which is the true Chima? Do you really think we are stupid enough to believe you know??? You are not sorry for anything you did! You are just trying to further your career! The FACTS are - as you have proven: 1.) You lie - and not just as part of the game! 2.) You are a racist - you have made racial comments and used the color of your skin inappropriately! In your letter above you used your did so again - this time trying to pretend you are hiding your true colors with the color of your skin when the fact is your are a hypocrite! 3.) You in fact tried to inflict pain through racial and personal comments. Have you already forgetten what you said about Russell being a "terroist" and how you are the "twin towers"? What about commenting on Rus' "cauliflower ears"? Yet you expect others not to comment on your features! Again, you are being a hypocrite! 4.) Like everything else, YOU ARE IN DENIAL!!!! It's a shame that you can not you can not recognize that your have a personality disorder. There is a difference between standing up for yourself and being overly arrogant, overly agressive, etc.! You are such an extremist that you can't even seen the line you have crossed!!!! Someday, MAYBE you will step back and take an honest look at yourself and your actions and realize how you look in other people's eyes rather than just your ONE side! You need to look at what you did through someone else's eyes - such as your grandmother's without making excuses for your behavior - still trying to blame others and/or bring up what they may have or have not done! Stop focusing on their behavior and look at your own. By pointing fingers at them, you just made yourself look that much more stupid - and I don't use that word lightly! IF that shocks you - it should - I'm being straight forward and honest with you! Wake up! You will be horrified at what you will see! When you can, you know that your are starting to mature. Until then, the life you are living is that of a very selfish spoiled brat that needs to be taken over her father's knee and spanked! Believe it or not, people DO care! They care enough to comment! Get off your high horse and face reality! The opposite of love is not hate, but rather apathy (lack of caring)! Stop trying to look at comments that are as being vindictive, but rather as a way you can possibly improve yourself! Love the BB show and I for one am happy that you are no longer on it causing so much strife for others and yourself!

Viewer 6, I for one turned off the television the season Evil Dick was on and did not continue to watch, so I missed most of his shenanigans because the little I saw of his behavior was too repulsive for me to go any further with the show. Of course I can only speak for myself with any certainty but I would venture to say that most on this thread are not lambasting Chima because of race or gender but because she was down right nasty, mean and displayed deplorable behavior. Also, I'll knock Big Brother as well, they new the type of people they were bringing onto the show, they just misjudged how much things could get out of hand. The following is what I either read or heard:All Alleged. Lydia tried to commit suicide as recently as December '08. Kevin is ostracized by most of his Jehovah's Witness family because of his homosexuality There are some anger management issues with Russell Michele is socially awkward and susceptible to having fits at night Chima was the victim of a brutal rape by a serial killer. BB had all of these profiles and threw these people together for ratings sake without much real regard of how far things could go or get.

Its funny how everyone in the house seems to be getting along really well now that you are gone. This is not even an apology, its just you trying to justify your actions. Everyone says things in anger that they later regret but you went beyond that. you REPEATEDLY used the word terrorist, going as far as comparing yourself to the twin towers and saying "america won't care they HATE middle easterners" . Talked about weapons of mass destruction as if you were saying something really clever. You should be ashamed of yourself. You are not sorry, you just didn't realize the backlash you would receive one back in the "real world". You forget that you were recorded 24 hours a day and live feeds showed your true colors and every racist, disgusting comment that came out of your mouth. Everyone keeps saying she is unstable to be on the show because of her rape. That happened years ago and does not give justification to her outrageous display of bad behavior. Just pathetic that whole display was. I hope you go back and watch yourself. you definitely are a embarrassment to fellow "strong black women" Such as myself. I know when to hold my tongue and when I am wrong I admit it. That is a real mark of strength. Its called self control, practice some in the future. We know you are not sorry, this pathetic excuse for an apology shows that. You said yourself on live tv that you wouldn't take back anything you said because you meant every word. We all saw you say "thats how i'll spin it" about the terrorist remark being about Russ yelling at people. Well it didn't work we see through you.

Viewer6, earlier you said, "Well, I too am a strong American-African woman and I differ totally with my previous counterpart. I don't mind discussing the suspicion of racial bias, and find it suspicious that whenever it's discussed someone else uses that phrase "race card" in an attempt to squash the subject. If that's what you want to call it, I use that card whenever a MINORITY is treated harshly, when others do the same and aren't." Again, you brought race into the discussion...and you claim it is not about race. Why does it keep coming up with you then? hmm?
5:41PM 08/20/09 bbfan75
Viewer6, you said, "I never claimed his race or anyone else' had anything to do with them being or not being in the house." and "I question that and wonder..........is it because she is black?" Sounds like you just made it about race yet again.
5:03PM 08/20/09 viewer6
Huh?!! I never claimed his race or anyone else' had anything to do with them being or not being in the house. I said that Chima's behavior is no better or worse than some of the other guests. And further that if none of the other were hated to the extreme of Chima, I question that and wonder..........is it because she is black?

To Viewer6: In your own words (as well as Kevin's)he is Blackanese and as the word suggests "black" partial or not. Therefore, what I am suggesting is this: he is still in the house. His race has nothing to do with him being in the house or not being in the house. Neither did Chimas. The point...it is not about race. It is about attitude. Chima's attitude got her kicked out of the house. Plain and simple.
4:40PM 08/20/09 viewer6
tamoyo, I think you are acting a bit chima-ish, name calling is immature and rude. Why is it you can act like Chima and I'm not cussing and fussing at you. I'm not wishing death on you or telling you your family should be ashamed. Why? Because I know I'm not perfect myself.
4:28PM 08/20/09 viewer6
LOL, I'm not justifying anything that she did, I'm just not validating but criticizing your and others behavior, because you all seem to be biased. I'm not saying because they did wrong too, that makes Chima right. Actually I'm saying that they are all wrong and should all be mobbed or none mobbed. I saw your list of her wrongs, now is that whole list worse than burning someone with a cigarette, if not then if Evil is not hated and cussed till this day then in fairness.......... What does it have to do with it? well if what she did was not worst than what Evil did, then why so much hate? Maybe because what some do is magnified and others do is dimmed depending on their race. Btw, I feel Dick's assualt on Jen with that cigarette is worse than any acting out or foul verbal language or insults, and courts agree.
4:16PM 08/20/09 tamoyo
For all of you people who are being ridiculous thinking that the reason we feel the way we do about Chima is because she is black. I wish we could possibly get some opinions from some people who are blind but tune in to BB, I am sure they would feel the same way we do and wouldn't be able to see what color she was. I am 97% positive (leaving 3% for the idiots who think it is a racial thing we have against Chima) that if they were to play feeds to non viewers of BB who could just hear what was going on and not see the people they would agree that 1. Chima is a racist 2. Chima is immature 3. Chima is rude 4. Chima is a narcissist 4. She thinks the world revolves around her 5. She is sick 6. She is Delusional 7. Selfish 8. Poor Sport 9. Thief 10. Loud Mouth 11. Listens to no one (Need I go on) and that's with out seeing what she looks like. It has nothing to do what color she is. Ignorance has no color. People of races, shapes, cultures, can be ignorant. So happens this person happens to be black. No one is writing this about Kevin or Natalie and they are both black. But sense everything revolves around Chima we would only have these feelings because of her. God created Chima just as he did Russel it's just that Russel has more class, didn't lower himself as low as Chima. Chima herself said all Americans felt the same way as she did about Russel and other Muslims, or people who are middle eastern. Well if we all feel this way then why is it 97% of the people on this site and all the other sites back Russel over Chima being that we are all suppose to hate him? I thought he was a bully, I just didn't think he was as sick and a racist as I feel Chima is. She made very bad choices, luckily God allows U Turns. She can make a difference when she accepts the fact she was wrong and learns just how bad words can hurt and effect someone. I am sure Russel is hurting more inside by her hurtful words than he is if she were to hit him. I just hope he realizes she is sick and we all don't feel the same as Chima. Hopefully she has already started counseling and medication and she will be on her way to finding peace with in and able to fight the many demons she obviously has inside.
4:01PM 08/20/09 Mommab
And, by the way, viewer6, YOU are very similar to Chima since you can't justify her behavior, you have to tear at someone else's. Didn't your mother ever tell you that two wrongs don't make a right? She pretty much attacked the locale where someone was raised, their ethnicity, their talk, or their heritage to every single person there. She also ranted about and cussed out Production and the fans of big brother. No one else in the history of the house has done that. So you feel free to tell me what that had to do with her being black and why did it make that okay? YOU CAN'T
3:57PM 08/20/09 Mommab
viewer6, I never said it was okay for anyone to do any of those things. Did I??? Now, others have been taken to task for their behaviors and suffered the consequences. BUT they never thought they were above the laws and the rules that govern BB. AND, this is right here and right now and she is the one who made it an issue. It had nothing to do with her color. You really need to go take a look at what really went on from day one. She was a B**** from the day she got there.
3:54PM 08/20/09 viewer6
mommab, what you need to do is first, stop telling others what they need to do and simply make your argument. Next tell me why is it okay to put Chima down for using the "T" word and not the others who have used the "N" word,threatened people and their families, Called someone a beaner or burnt someone with a ciggerette. Tell me how their behaviors differed to the point that THEY shouldn't be mobbed and Chima's should in a logical manner.
3:40PM 08/20/09 Mommab
viewer6, I think you must be Chima herself or family of hers. What you need to get over is blaming things on race and excusing her totally disgusting behavior on her being picked on because she is black. Like I said, I don't care if she is purple, she is still rude, arrogant, and a nasty over all person. She has disgraced her family, her friends, and her race. You needed to really see her behavior and then if you are a rational person, you would not defend her nor blame it on her race. Trolling around just to say hi - I seriously doubt it but if that's your story, go ahead and stick to it.

mommab, LOL, you get over it. I'm not the one trolling the internet to insult someone or getting all huffy with someone that's simply giving their take on the situation. I simply came to say hi, then when I saw all the bias against one person with flaws and not all with them, joined in to state my feelings.

bbfan, You asked what is kevin? I don't see the relevance. He hasn't called anyone a racist name, threatened or assaulted anyone. He is a man, but he describes himself as Blackanese. What's your point?
2:46PM 08/20/09 Mommab
Viewer6, get over it!!!! The reason people are making a big deal of it is because Chima did. She was the one calling others out. Especially Braden. Her color has nothing to do with it. A big part of it is that she is guilty of what she screamed about everyone else for. Braden apologized. She has not. Whatever she wrote, if she truly wrote it herself, is to protect her job most likely. I wouldn't hire the place she worked for and I doubt they would keep her. She was going to sue everyone, CBS, Production, going to complain to the FCC. She violated nearly every rule that was in the contract she signed. She was kicked off. Pure and Simple - based on her disgusting behavior. Other people who have been kicked off for contract violations never got away with what she did before they finally had enough. Don't pull the color card because that really ticks me off. If she was purple, she would still have been a racist and an arrogant spoiled diva. Glad she's gone.

AuntieM, When boogie won it, it wasn't a known fact that he would, actually I think to the contrary. Anyone could have told you that Jeff would win this. That is what disturbs me. I have live feeds, seen it all and watched for years. How did you feel about Evil Dick? Was he simply funny, many thought he was and thought his antics were his strategy. As a black woman I refuse to stand idly back and watch one of us get mobbed for behaviors that others on previous years and this one get away with. I simply believe in fair treatment. Jeff for example drops snippy remarks about killing people and their families constantly, most under his breath, but still said. No one is mobbing him. Braden called kevin an f-ing mexican, an f-ing beaner and I don't see any large group here to bash him. When all the players of BB that lose their tempers and get nasty are mobbed, I'll join you all on Chima, until then, I'm gonna question why her and think, hmmmmmm could it be because she's black?
2:37PM 08/20/09 Mommab
Chima can say what she wants but no one is buying it. It wasn't just calling him a terrorist or her comment about his demeanor because of his nationality. She actually said "Russell is a terrorist and I am the twin towers". That was not a reference to him terrorizing the other houseguests as she tried to say. Many people from that area of the world are just finally starting to feel like they are not feared as terrorists because of where they or their ancestors are from. She is a disgusting excuse for a human being. She was a brat from the time she entered the house and defied production all the time. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

1. Anyone who has seen or interacted with her knows she did not write this statement. She meant what she said to Russell. Chima is a very intelligent, and arrogant woman. She knew that her words were insulting and disparaging in nature to Russell. 2. She deserved to be kicked off the show and she knew her actions weren't going to go unpunished. She took a game and made it really personal. REMINDER:only 1 person will win Big Brother. And now, it won't be her or Jessie. Yeah, Chima you proved your point. 3. I am a woman, and African American, and you made the entire house uncomfortable with you, not your skin color. You asked Natalie about liking black people and her response was she's part black, you made racial tension where there was none. You ostracized Casey, Russell, and the rest of the house with your "racism" accusations, and that was not right. There are plenty of racist in the world, but look in the mirror, you're one of them.
2:22PM 08/20/09 Selltheapple
salustra and screama made great points. To add a few: You called his family terrorist. There is only one way to take that comment it was not the way you are trying to spin it. America has been a part of BB since season 1 and has voted on all kinds of things that changed the game. You and your "side" are spoiled losers. What did it matter if Jessie left? You were still in the game. The game changes all the time. You just could not handle a hit in the game. Funny because Jeff and Jordan had been down the whole game and Jordan always on the block as a pawn. They did not put like baby and make racial slurs about everyone. You are rude, and full of hate. You have insult most of America, cultures and races. You did plenty of bullying in that house. Stop playing the victim. A strong woman has no need to scream, yell and berate people. You are not a strong woman. You are insecure. Get it straight. You are a liar. Before BB aired the show of them pulling you from the house you said you left on your own. Funny because people who leave on their own do not get walked out by security. BB has no reason to lie about how you left. If anything they covered up the more horrible stuff you did like adding chocolate to a drink of someone who could not have such food. Not showing all of your culture and racial slurs. Let us not forget how much you hung all over Russell. As soon as you realized he had zero interest in you things got very ugly. The guy tried to be nice to you but you took every sniff he made as a notion for you to move closer. Remember we saw it all on the feeds with you saying such things about his body and how you openly flirted with him during his HOH time and even before it. I hope any man looking to date you realizes he will have to deal with a person who can not handle rejection. Although I despise you as a person I think you need to seek help for the personal situation you talked about on the show (rape). Knowing the show is live all the time telling all of the viewers and houseguest about something so personal shows you need to seek help and things right with you.
2:03PM 08/20/09 RealitySucks
I to am really sick of all the BS Chima has to say. I had a second generation cousin on the second plane that it the trade center, she talks crap. All i hear is how we bring up the race problems BUT wow when it is of another color out comes the race card. You want to stop all the hate? Then YOU need to stop all the talk. She is a disgrace to everyone even connected to her. In public OR in private i would not even state i know her. This is why she is a FREELANCE...no respecting anything would claim to hire her. IF...IF i had a paper and used her writings, they would be ENDED. Self centered, thinks she is righteous, loud mouth, in your face, name calling, i did not do anything wrong crap. What a woman, a true disgrace.
1:12PM 08/20/09 wiltz10
Can you please take the "RACISM" card out of this whole equation?? I'm tired of people of color ALWAYS using that one...Build a bridge and get over it!! Your side you chose to align with is nothing but POOR LOSERS!! Jessie stinky Gnat all of you...POOR LOSERS!!
1:08PM 08/20/09 salustra
Chima, here are some other racist comments you made that had NOTHING to do with Russell. "I don't care what anyone says, Casey is a nigger" "Why are all Asians all up our asses when they are behind us in a line at the store. Whenever I'm at a store there are always Asians all up my ass." "White people don't vote for brown people to win anything." "Southern people can't speak english anyway." Those are just a few examples. You forget we saw the feeds, we saw a lot of unedited ugliness.
1:01PM 08/20/09 Denise1958
Is she forgetting Jeff had the power before her HOH. What would she say if the other side had gotten HOH would it have still been unfair. The same two would have been up and one would of gone. She was an embarassment to all women !
1:01PM 08/20/09 sc1432
I agree with Marcy1965 110%. Boycott this webiste and any other that Chima is a part off. If they defend her there just as bad as she is.
0:58PM 08/20/09 sc1432
Strong women do not act like Chima did. Strong women do not have to prove it and act childsih and throw the race card out there, and act like a spoiled child. Chima was nothing but a constant sorce of tension and causing problems. Oviously she did not care about anyone on her team or she would of never acted in a manner to get booted and leave them short. POOR CHIMA..Let's play the voilyn. She thought Russell was hated by America. CHIMA AMERICA HATES YOU. You fill the stero type of a angry black women.Your the reason stero-types still exsist. Your a thief also, u tried to steal rosary beads that were not yours. Pull out the weave, deflate your lips becasue you look like a bratz doll commercial. Chima you should be ashamed of yourself. Everything you did not like people to do to you, you did to them. Russell seems like a nice person,you are evil to the core. You think BB was burger king and you could have it your way. NOT !! Your evil and your rotten to the core. For a writer and someone in the media your very judgemental and it is very, very ugly. You can hide physical scars with make-up but inner hate and uglyness can not be hidden, and your was out full force.
0:56PM 08/20/09 Marcy1965
This comment is to the Hollywood Scoop. (1) Are you going to continue to have Chima Simone work for you knowing that she is a racist bigot. (2)Do you have Chima Simone sit down and read these comments. (3)Do you think all the famous people she interviewed will let her interview them again. (4)How many calls or emails have you received about you representing the biggest racist bigot in america. I think we should get signatures to get her fired, and let her know what being humbled is all about. So hollywood Scoop what are you going to do?
0:23PM 08/20/09 screama
I would believe that she meant Russell terrorized the house when she called him that if I didn't have the feeds. She said I can call Russell a terrorist because America doesn't like Middle Easterns. She said that so there is no way she can say she meant it the other way. Glad she is gone, yuck!
11:57AM 08/20/09 AuntieM
9:41AM 08/19/09 viewer6 Chima I loved you on the show until that last moment. I laughed so hard. I don't agree with any racist words, but otherwise, Loved ya. I also feel the following:I feel as? though the producers of BB fixed the game in Jeff's favor. I believe that since they knew that Jeff was favored by the public, and the other side was winning, they invented the coup d etat and knew he would win it. It wasn't specifically aimed at you, but whoever had the HOH, and since the Jessie crew seemed to win most comps, logically aimed at any one of them. This was done in favor of Jeff & friends. I believe you sensed the whole coup d etat ( to replace the deposed government with another, either civil or military) and told the BB producers to kiss off, wanting to leave or be ejected and I don't blame you. I wouldn't let those producers set me up either Are you serious here?? Did you forget that they did the CDT when Bogie was in the house and won the power?? He chose not to use it because his side was winning, it was his option and just the same as this time, America gave it him! He did not "win" it in a competition, it was US the viewers who decided he should have it! Have you been watching the same show as the rest of us?? Give me a break, this is a game. As a woman of color my self, I was completely appalled by Chima's behaviour and sense of entitlement. I was truly disappointed with the way she acted because I did like her in the beginning. I am so glad to see her gone!
11:38AM 08/20/09 Silverick
I myself was appalled by Chima's behavior and I don't watch any of the "after dark" part of the show. When she lost her HOH power due to Jeff's playing his Coup d'etat, I didn't know if I was happier that Jesse was gone or that Chima was finally put into her place and in hopes finally realized that she wasn't running things in the house! Then.... it got so much better, as Chima's issues and inability to cope were revealed by her actions. I'm sure that Chima "was asked to leave" which in my opinion, would be the insult of insults as she doesn't and probably hasn't ever played well with others. I wish Chima the best in life and I also want to thank her for making me realize that my life and my issues (with myself) are minimal to her's, as her anger, vindictiveness, inability to accept another person for who they are and to find the good in a bad situation are going to keep her down until she obtains some professional help!
11:16AM 08/20/09 NthaMoment
Are you kidding me Chima. You can only fool the people who watch the show Sun, Tue & Thur. Those of us who watch the live feed and afterdark see right through you. YOU have no place to talk about Russell's rampages. YOU were the one causing those rampages! This was a GAME Chima, you signed up for a GAME. Please, get over yourself. Who are fooling NOONE!
10:28AM 08/20/09 carl
Get it straight, being LOUD does not make you a strong woman, it makes you ghetto. Way to shame your grandfolks! good job loser
8:51AM 08/20/09 madgoose
LMAO! Are you kidding me! I have never seen such a disply of pathetic fake crying over Jessie. I do beleive you left to be next to him in the house before the other 2 were removed so you could make your move. you played both fences and got caught. Your tirades were worse than Russells. He knows how to play the game. For an educated, smart African Am. Woman, you acting like a pathetic school girl who did not get her own way and made yourself look ignorate and dumb. I hope you look at yourself on tape over and over again and come to the realization that you acted like a stupid little girl!
8:23AM 08/20/09 viewer6
To freak, I think YOU should ask YOURSELF why you see the all the black women in the same light. These women had very little in common, lol. Your Post speaks volumes for my argument. There is only ONE reason why someone would see these very different women in the same negative way. Think about it. And for others out there that feel the same, all I ask is question yourself. Then if needed make a change.
8:02AM 08/20/09 Adania
Chima, if you gain nothing else from this experience, I hope that you can begin to realize how you portray yourself to others instead of constantly making excuses for yourself. Big Brother is only edited for the primetime show. Lots of viewers saw your actions unedited, and I for one was appalled. Your racist comments towards Russell were completely uncalled for. It wasn’t something that slipped out of your mouth once or twice. You repeated it constantly and compared yourself to the twin towers. To relate your experience in the Big Brother house to a national tragedy that killed so many good people is inexcusable. If you knew you wouldn’t be able to handle the game, you should have never signed up or quit earlier. Russell rejected your constant advances (yes, we saw them all), and that must have been embarrassing for you. But CBS edited the show to make you look as good as possible given your actions. For that you should be thankful. I suggest you go back and watch the unedited, uncut feeds yourself. Then maybe you can give a real apology instead of making excuses for yourself.
7:57AM 08/20/09 viewer6
Lol, mmc that would be one heck of a show. Entertaining and action packed to the end. But I do believe the show would end tragically, rofl, lol. And DO NOT THINK THAT IT WOULD BE THE WOMAN THAT WOULD BE THE TRAGEDY, because the prisons are full of women who have take men down, lol.
7:56AM 08/20/09 Jaelyn
Chima, your statement is not an apology, it is damage control. Too little, too late. You were recorded 24/7 & you can't hide or "spin" what you did & said. Now, STFU & go away once & for all....LOSER!!!!!!!!!!
7:37AM 08/20/09 Marcy1965
You know that saying Chima you might think your big but there is always someone out there who is bigger. He is called Jesus you might want to read about him because i don't think you know who he is. Remember treat people how you want to be treated, because America is doing that to you right now.
7:25AM 08/20/09 BB11VIEWER
Are you kidding me Chima? Are you absolutely kidding me? I abhor the behavior you displayed in the household. It was an embarrassment to mankind, to women and to african american women in particular. The only thing that could possible neutralize everything that I read on Morty's TV is my suspicion of you're needing medication. You are trying to tell the viewer the he didn't see what he saw and that he misunderstood what he read. You can't even hide your actions (nor can Russell for that matter) because the show is no longer limited to network t.v.. If you, don't believe you are in need of anger management counseling among other things, then you are in worse condition than I thought. To paraphrase, was it not you who said that you were going to spit in Russell's face in order to provoke him into hitting you for the purposes of having him kicked of the show, upon which, you would press charges and send him to jail, so he could be "anal-ized" (my euphemism) on a daily basis? Was it not you who kept saying that Russell was a terrorist even afer Jesse tried to get you to stop, at which point you said you didn't care and that you could spin what you said for America? ...and was it not at this point that you came up with Russell is a terrorist because he terrorizes the entire house (spin, spin)? Was it not you who threatened Jeff (behind his back, at first) with bodily injury if he used the power that you thought he had. Was it not you who demanded that other house guests not talk to Russell (Jessie and Natalie in particular)and if they did, there would be hell to pay? Was it not you who made a comment about ugly girls ( I believe Michele was the topic of conversation) and you said something to the effect of ugly girls doing things that pretty girls won't? I am left with the assumption that you consider yourself a pretty girl. Should I going on regarding the numerous times you told production to suck d. and called them mf's, threw water in Russell's face and at one point wanted to throw hot tea on him, etc..., etc..., etc.... No matter how bad Russell's behavior was (and I know it was bad, I did see him as a bully in the beginning but I also know that the very first fight with Jeff was staged because he told the viewers so) it was no comparison to yours. Did all of this really begin because of his rejection? I know you can't bring yourself to admit that but deep, deep down, in the bowels of your inner being, is there not a grain of truth to it?
6:43AM 08/20/09 scorpio21
Chima stop portraying yourself as the victim here. Russell stood up to you and you didn't like it!! We saw your diva behavior and heard your racist remarks on BBAD. You also insulted Americans living in "red states" remember that? You were also a bully and you threatened to to f** up the live eviction show on CBS to cost them FCC fines. So, why don't you take a good long look in the mirror before you cast stones. You my dear are a dangerous racist!
6:14AM 08/20/09 mmc258
One more thing, I would like to put Chima in the same house with Evil Dick. Who do you think would make it out?
6:02AM 08/20/09 mmc258
Chima.."DIVA" NOT. you think because you are Chima the rules don't apply to you. Think again. Life has rules and if you don't abide by them you could end up behind bars. you entered the BB house to win $500,000 at first you played the game, but when you lost your power, you got humilated and acted like a 2 year old pitching a tantrum. It's a GAME remember. You had good game play (at first). But when you started making remarks about terrorist, that showed just how low you are willing to go. I didn't think you could go any lower, but I was wrong, you then proceed the refer to Russell as the plane that hit the World Trade Center (you being the World Trade Center, not funny) and laughed about it. I don't care what race you are that was just unamerican. Go home and pout to someone who gives a crap about you and you bratty self.
6:01AM 08/20/09 JB711
I won't berate or call Chima names but I will say that it's obvious from everything we saw on BBAD, the live feeds and the televised show that she needs serious therapy. At the very least, she appears to have anger issues but I suspect there are other issues there as well. These could be due to her traumatic life experiences but they definitely need to be dealt with for her to be a truly healthy, happy person. I sincerely hope she gets that help. I also hope that someone close to her will be honest enough with her to tell her to stop trying to defend her actions and see them for what they really were and how others perceived them. Placating her and telling her that it's ok will NOT help her gain clarity or improve herself. What I can't believe is that anyone is still attempting to defend Chima's actions! Her behavior was so deplorable and her "apology" so insincere that for anyone to try to defend her boggles my mind. Her grandmother seemed like a lovely woman and maybe Chima should try more to model herself and her behavior after a truly strong woman like her.
5:46AM 08/20/09 momma2boyz
Even though I did not agree with Chima on many things in the house, I respected her loyalty. Russell did attack people in the house. Remember the first attack on Jeff for no reason. If you looked at Chima on Tuesdays show, she was gone. She did not care about the game any longer. Normally BB brings a counselor in to speak with the guests. Why didn't Chima see the counselor? Everyone can judge Chima for her actions but until you walk in her shoes, be quiet. But in the end Chima did not truly understand the game.
5:41AM 08/20/09 viewer6
To Gypsy: Lol, Whose post did you read? I admitted i play the "card". and I did not insinuate anything, I straight out said "mob" with torches. When a group of people come to one spot with the mentality to undermine another, it has very close similarities to my description. I don't keep racism alive, people like you do. People who whenever the subject of race and fairness is spoken of, Just want it to stop. It should always be open to speak of these things until racism dies completely. I don't assume anything about your hatefulness, but I do question it.

Good bye Chima...Biotch....I have noticed something will all of these reality shows.....most of the ones that are rude, heartless (i.e. chima, omarosa, etc.)..are black women.....is this coincidence or is this something ingrained in the genes..please respond
1:34AM 08/20/09 Stephca33
It amazes me that when the tables were turned in the GAME and the Chima sheriff was in town everything was fine and no subject was taboo if it spewed from "her" mouth. However when she lost the "power" she also lost her mind because No One can possibly ever betray Chima! I leave you with this Chima - Deuces!
0:17AM 08/20/09 gypsysoul
to viewer6. You say you don't play the race card, then you have the nerve to insinuate that anyone who dislikes Chima and her actions are members of the KKK? Here is your quote "Put down your torches and go home,". It's people like you who keep racism alive and well here in the USA. You assume every non African American is a member of the KKK. You're just as bad as Chima and yet in your first post you spout Christianity and Jesus loves you, blah blah blah. HYPOCRITE!!!

Chima's 15 minutes of fame is over...Now lets hope she goes away and takes her foul mouth, bad attitude and very poorly written "statements" with her. Geesh, no wonder she is a "free lance" journalist!!! I don't think I have ever disliked someone one that show like I do her. She an unbalanced cry baby who probably plans to spend the rest of her life playing the race card any time she thinks it will advance her in her goals. Her type of racial pimps make me sick.... They are quick to judge everyone elses heart or intent.... well YOUR heart and intent are clear as a bell chima...and this time we are not going to let YOU take back YOUR words... Own them if your so proud of who and what you are... Now go away.
10:22PM 08/19/09 Kathleen1357
Chima, First of all, that "thing" you call a statement is so poorly written it is easy to see why your a "free lance" journalist. You should spend more time learning to write so that others will want to read your work and spend less time acting like a foul mouthed victim. If you don't get where you want to go in life, blame yourself, not society. And finally..you liked the game when you and your "friends" called the shots. You are control freak.... I voted for Jeff to have the mystery power because you and your crew were snotty. America does not like you...or your buddies...live with it......And we get your votes...so..thanks for being so self absorbed that you gave us your vote. Your 15 minutes of fame are up... Now please go away.....
9:35PM 08/19/09 viewer6
Well, I too am a strong American-African woman and I differ totally with my previous counterpart. I don't mind discussing the suspicion of racial bias, and find it suspicious that whenever it's discussed someone else uses that phrase "race card" in an attempt to squash the subject. If that's what you want to call it, I use that card whenever a MINORITY is treated harshly, when others do the same and aren't. Sheesh, if everyone who ever used the N word or insulted a Jew had a mob attack them, that behavoir would have ceased long ago. Look, we are human like anyone else and have a right to be flawed and to make terrible mistakes and not be mobbed. And I don't believe that we must be without flaws to be good people, like some think. We make mistakes, sometimes horrible ones, hopefully learn something and go on. she lost her temper numerous times, and said words she should never have said, but who hasn't when pissed the heck off. Put down your torches and go home, she's not playing the game anymore. I know some of you love to hate, but let it go. Enjoyed ya Chima, I laughed a lot !! Keep learning and no matter what anyone thinks, Always stand up for yourself.
8:41PM 08/19/09 vscott
It was a G-A-M-E Chima, you made it personal when Russell rejected your advancements. Can't wait until the rest of the houseguests get to see the footage. Then everyone will know you were lying to everyone. So glad they finally kicked yedou out. You didn't deserved to be there anymore and sure didn't deserve to be in the jury house. Good-bye Chima :)

Well said, mixed4luv!!! Once again, not supporting the race card!
8:15PM 08/19/09 mixed4luv
Being an STRONG and older African/Italian American woman I have alot to say to Ms. Chima and I use the salutation lightly. First off the "terrorist" remark that you made was NOT the only remark you made on the show that was racial. And being a "journalist" I use that word lightly I am sure it took you four to five mock ups before you came up with your brilliant e-mail (not)! Chima I as previously stated happen to be both Italian and African American I also happen to be a true fan of the show. And how funny is it that you all (HG'S) ask if we the fans of the show have a life. If we were not watching you there certainly would not be a show and you my dear would not have had this your 15 min of FAME! Your dear Ronnie was a freak show but he was a fan no? I have watched the show before live feeds were available to us fans. Back then I may have believed your carefully packaged statement. I watched you make remarks and laugh at many racial remarks in the BB house ironically made by the minorities in the house against the Caucasion HG's. One that not many have picked up on that I did was the one about Jeff. You more or less profiled Jeff. You stated that he lives in Chicago and had many "Itailan friends who owned restaurants" so his dark past must include the mob/mafia (not a direct quote) but you did in fact say it. Not only have do most Italian Americans take offense to this profiling. A majority of the Italian American community as a whole take offense to the whole Mob/Mafia reference period. In movies,television and most media Italian actors and actress's get pigeon holed into roles that only involve or promote these stereotypes. As a wanna be actress you should have sympathy for this, it would be like someone saying that we can only get parts in movies that involve the streets and or drugs or slavery!! Being mixed I have fought racism my whole life as well. I was not "dark" enough for some of my African American relatives,schoolmates etc. And not quite white enough for my Caucasian counterparts! So how dare you throw remarks around so FRIVIOUSLY and call them part of your "straight forward personality", the one you will not apoligize for! You should my strong black SISTA as someone referred to you on this site should go back and watch the comments you made with Lydia and Natalie about flying planes into the buildings. Also about how the Caucasians of mid-west America were so close minded that they would not have any of the "brown" people at the top of a Americas Vote contest.We had to listen to you cackle long and hard over that statement up in the HOH while you looked at Kevin trying to get him to go along with your insensitivity! You my dear are an equal oppurtunity racist you will use your color to forward you in this life and use other peoples colors/race to move them a step behind you! How dare you Chima you admitted up in the HOH room to Russ that you didn't think Brayden was a racist at all you just used what you had to to stay in the game (racial guilt) I have seen it before in real life but when you are on TV and there are over 200 something cameras video taping you night and day you should have been smarter my sista! You think it's all about the edit right? To bad that BBAD and the live feeds were barely cut and BBAD has timed breaks. If you did not act in a way to be edited wrong (WHICH YOU DID OFTEN) you wouldn't have a problem period! Unfortunetly not many people tuned in for you on television or the LIVE feeds. Do you realize how many times people would switch feeds when your whiny as* came on lol what a joke. You may have yelled the loudest but dear that did not make you right. You offended me as woman, as a itailian american, as an african american and as a human. You were mean spirited when things did not go your way, you messed with peoples things (which BTW you recieved a great edit on that one hun) and you bullied people. Like it or not you were the female version of Russ. We all know what you and Russ disgusted the night before (your fake fight! It got a little out of hand huh miss I can do improve CACKLE CACKLE!)we all watched as you laughed with Russ about making it look "real" and how you were not going to bring race into the picture. Chima you were the one who went down that road first. Russ is hardly a bully if people are not strong enough to withstand someone like yourself or Russ then they should not make it into the house. Everyone knows that Russ at least was acting with Ronnie and at first with you until you made it personal. And for those of you on here saying she did not mean terrorist in that way do yourself a favor spend the $ and get the feeds so you can flashback and really see what Chima is all about.

How disgraceful to hide behind "the race card". You don't have to be African-American, Asian, Muslim, Aboriginal or any other 'race' to be disrespected. Have you ever heard the term 'cracker'? It's a term the 'blacks' use(d) as a derogatory statement toward the 'whites' (for those of you who DON'T know what it means). Correct me if I'm wrong but we've ALL experienced some form of racism in our lifetime, regardless of colour or religion. Give it a break Chima. The only thing you can blame your expulsion on is your BAD behaviour. You were disrespectful to the producers, etc. of the game, PERIOD. You were disrespectful to others in the game and were confrontational just as much, or perhaps even MORE than some of the other players. I've watched EVERY season of BB and have never loathed a player as much as I've loathed you. You're a spoiled, self-righteous, self-absorbed, poor-sport who forgot you were playing a GAME. You terrorised players as often as the next guy did. You're a BULLY in no uncertain terms. To Angelflight - America has been asked to vote on a number of "secret" twists for the HGs. You whining is nearly as aggrevating as Chima's. Chima...you were unceremoniously DUMPED from the game for your poor attitude...you didn't "leave" the game. Good riddance...next up, Natalie then the loopy Lydia!

My my.. queenb14. Is calling Jordan the village idiot really necessary? Not necessarily defending her, because quite frankly I think she could do fine on her own, but I think I'd rather hang out with a village idiot than a racist hate monger. Chima is beautiful on the outside but ugly on the inside. Jordan is beautiful on the outside and the inside and I love the sweetness about her. How did this turn to Jordan anyway? She had nothing to do with Chima and Russell acting out. Be careful who you refer to as a village idiot. You might want to look at your writing/spelling skills. Not to imply that you are an idiot, I'm just saying that some people have difficult with learning. That doesn't make them idiots. Jordan seems pretty smart. She has the people in that house figured out pretty good. And yes, Chima is a racist.

What ever chilly. Like I said your opinion is your opinion and mine is mine. You can't dictate what I think or feel about the situation on BB. It's my perspective. How do we know if all of this was setup my CBS to get ratings because really only about the ratings. we can go back and forth and will continue to agree to disagree. I don't feel that Jordan, Jeff, Kevin and Michelle had been playing the game and less not forget Natalie. Who wants to watch some boring ditzy blonde who can't tell time and asks the most stupidest question about a spider. Regardless if you want to amdit it or not Russell, Chima, Jesse, Lydia and even Ronnie sells. They make fools of themselves but really they know people are watching most are trying to be discovered. So while we are casting stones at each other comments we really need to worry about the important things like Insurance and food for the Homeless and our soldier's serving our country. GOOD NIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I salute the ones who point out Chima's bad behavior, whether those doing so are strong, Black women, men, young women or others. Being AGGRESSIVE does not make you a STRONG woman. Being aggressive as Chima was simply proves she, too, is a Bully. That is not becoming, whether you be a woman or a man. A strong woman can stand up for herself without dirtying herself like her attacker or anyone else. Getting down in the mud only makes you dirty. It takes a Powerful woman to respond and act with grace and NOT react to all that is thrown her way. It saddens me to think that so many people feel they absolutely must speak exactly what is on their minds with no filter. Just because one thinks before speaking and uses a filter doesn't make them soft. Chima should have acted using her intelligence. She instead showed stupidity when she is not a stupid woman. She could not control herself and that should sadden even her Grandmother who was so gracious on tv when they aired her comments when Chima won HOH. Chima's tantrum definitely made Russell's tirades look almost like child's play. I am so NOT excusing his actions, either. He is a jerk. As far as queenb14's remarks regarding Jordan...tsk, tsk, tsk. Jordan is a dumb blonde but very sweet and she doesn't have to put out someone else's candle to make hers brighter. These days, most people think: "I'll get them before they get me first." What happened to the Golden Rule, people? Does anyone under the age of 40 know what that is, anymore?
