Luke Valentine Removed from 'Big Brother' After Using Racial Slur

Luke Valentine was removed from Big Brother after using the N-word during a live feed conversation with other contestants.
The incident occurred casually while Valentine was speaking with three other housemates, including the only Black male contestant.
Valentine immediately apologized after saying the slur, but he was still expelled from the house the next morning.
Host Julie Chen Moonves directly addressed Valentine's removal and the show's zero-tolerance policy for such language.
The incident reignites criticism of racism and lack of diversity that has long plagued the Big Brother reality show.
