Big Brother Contestant Faces Backlash After Using Slur During Live Broadcast
Big Brother contestant Isaiah "Zae" Frederich faces backlash after using a slur during a live broadcast. The incident sparked debate online. Controversy has erupted inside the Big Brother house after contestant Isaiah 'Zae" Frederich was heard using an offensive slur during a late-night conversation that was streamed live to audiences. The moment occurred while Zae was playing chess with fellow housemate Keanu Soto. The incident has quickly drawn comparisons to previous seasons where houseguests were removed for similar behaviour. The comment in question came unexpectedly, as Zae remarked, 'Oh s**t. I'm a frd."* Immediately after, he appeared to realize the gravity of what he had said and added, 'Damn, I shouldn't say that word." Keanu responded, 'No, you shouldn't," before asking aloud whether the live feed was active—unaware that fans were already tuned in. Zae then admitted, 'That's one of the ones I was working on not saying," and both housemates laughed, with Keanu adding, 'I think you're good… you're lucky it's late." The clip quickly circulated online, prompting a wave of responses across social media. Some viewers were reminded of a 2023 incident in which contestant Luke Valentine was expelled from the house after using the N-word. At the time, CBS stated, 'Luke violated the Big Brother code of conduct and there is zero tolerance in the house for using a racial slur. He has been removed from the house." Public reaction to Zae's comment has been mixed. While some users on X (formerly Twitter) criticized the remark, others defended him, arguing that the term he used does not carry the same weight as racial slurs. One user wrote, 'They're comparing retard to the N word? C'mon now…" Another added, 'I don't see anything wrong with this. When a contestant goes into the house they are encouraged to be themselves. Even their uncouth selves. Now it's a problem?" Others expressed concern over the normalization of such language. 'When did it become ok to throw that word around again? It's everywhere again," one person noted. As of now, CBS has not released an official statement on the incident, and Zae remains in the Big Brother house.

The Young and the Restless spoilers: Will Amanda finally expose Cane's secrets as Nick and Devon race to solve the case?
Things are heating up in France as The Young and the Restless spoilers for Wednesday, July 16, tease that Nick is no longer just a spectator. While Chance may be leading the official investigation into Damian's (Jermaine Rivers) stabbing, Nick (Joshua Morrow) finds himself drawn into the mystery — and lands on a clue the professionals seem to have missed. Until now, Nick's role in France has mostly involved keeping others calm. He's been reassuring Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) about Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Claire (Hayley Erin), offering some reluctant praise to Adam (Mark Grossman), advising Sharon (Sharon Case) to eat better, and telling Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) to rethink her erratic decisions. Basically, it's been business as usual for Nick — whether in Genoa City or across the ocean. But Damian's stabbing has changed that. It's not just a metaphor this time — it's real, and Nick is convinced he knows who's behind it… and more importantly, why they did it. Devon has his own theory Nick isn't the only one playing detective. Devon (Bryton James), who's also been keeping busy during the France trip, has his own take on what happened to Damian. He's spent his time warning Cane (Billy Flynn) about his behavior, reminding Lily (Christel Khalil) of Cane's past, and criticizing Amanda (Mishael Morgan) for defending Cane. And of course, Devon has assured Abby (Melissa Ordway) that Dominic is fine back home. Despite his full schedule of opinions, Devon now turns his focus to Damian's stabbing. Like Nick, he has a theory — and he's just as sure of the motive. Amanda demands the truth from Cane Amanda isn't particularly swayed by Devon's comments — or by Nick's newfound detective role. What she cares about is the truth. And for that, she turns to Cane. Amanda knows enough to suspect Cane is hiding something. She's already pieced together parts of the puzzle — the who and the how. But now she wants answers about the why. And this time, she won't accept half-truths or evasion. Cane needs to be honest, because Amanda is done guessing. As suspicions grow and truths emerge, the characters face revelations that may alter everything they thought they knew in France.
