Big Brother Star Faces Backlash for Anti-Drag Remarks
22 Jul
Summary
- Kamuela Kirk made anti-drag comments on Big Brother's live feeds.
- Fellow contestants and former show stars condemned Kirk's remarks.
- The controversy erupted during the show's 28th season.
The 28th season of Big Brother is experiencing heightened drama, with alliances fracturing and betrayals occurring early in the competition. Among the contestants is Jason De Puy, known to fans as Salina EsTitties, the first drag queen to compete on the show. Recently, Kamuela Kirk was recorded on the live feeds making disparaging remarks about drag.
Kirk reportedly told Head of Household Rick Devens, "Bro, miss me with the drag stuff. I'm still an MMA guy, and I have an image to uphold." These comments quickly circulated on social media, igniting a wave of disapproval. Big Brother alums, including Frankie Grande, publicly condemned Kirk's statements as 'homophobic.'
Frankie Grande later clarified that while he understood strategic conversations, he maintained that prejudice against feminine expression is inherently homophobic. Jimmy Heagerty, a former contestant from season 27, also voiced his strong opposition, calling Kirk's opinions 'disgusting' and the antithesis of masculinity. The incident has prompted calls for greater solidarity among former and current cast members against such sentiments.
