Former Big Brother sensation Farida Koulgi has broken her silence with an explosive response to Louis Walsh's controversial remarks about her during his recent Celebrity Big Brother appearance. The reality star didn't hold back in her condemnation of the music manager's comments, which she labelled as both "racist" and "disgusting."
The Controversial Comments That Sparked Outrage
During his time in the famous house, Louis Walsh made several remarks about Farida that have since drawn widespread criticism. Speaking to fellow housemates, Walsh reportedly made dismissive comments about Koulgi's personality and background, which many viewers interpreted as racially charged.
"I couldn't believe what I was hearing when I watched the footage back," Koulgi revealed in an exclusive interview. "For someone in his position to make such ignorant comments in this day and age is completely unacceptable."
Farida's Emotional Response
The Big Brother alumna expressed her deep disappointment at Walsh's behaviour, particularly given his influential position within the entertainment industry. "As someone who has worked with diverse artists throughout his career, you'd expect better understanding and respect," she stated.
Koulgi emphasised the impact such comments have on minority communities watching the show. "When public figures make these kinds of remarks, it normalises discrimination and makes people from ethnic backgrounds feel unwelcome in these spaces," she explained.
Growing Backlash and Viewer Support
Since the episode aired, social media has been flooded with messages supporting Farida and condemning Walsh's comments. Many viewers have expressed their solidarity with the reality star, praising her for speaking out against the inappropriate remarks.
ITV has yet to make an official statement regarding the controversy, though sources close to the production suggest producers are monitoring the situation closely as the series continues to unfold.
A Call for Accountability
Koulgi concluded with a powerful message about responsibility in the public eye. "Reality television shouldn't be an excuse for prejudice. We need to hold people accountable for their words and actions, regardless of their status or the platform."
The incident has reignited conversations about diversity and representation in British reality television, with many calling for stricter guidelines regarding discriminatory language on broadcast shows.
