over on DS



I am writing this as a deeply concerned friend of Nadia’s. She is devastated following last night’s eviction and returned home to find her car egged and abusive letters through the door. I have never seen her in this state.

It is most concerning that the public was misled in regards to the dispute with Coolio. He made deeply offensive, homophobic comments continuously to her and the other housemates regarding gender and sexuality for many days on end which were not broadcast. It was made to be seen that Coolio left the house after Nadia erratically confronted him about hiding her shoes. This was not the case. Coolio was on his third and final warning from Big Brother about abusive and threatening behaviour. By this point Nadia had suffered a panic attack and was mentally beginning to breakdown. Not broadcast. It was made to seem that Coolio asked BB to leave the house. He was in fact *asked* to leave the Big Brother house by Sharon Powers. If Coolio had made similar comments regarding race, BB would have been obliged to show the dispute in FULL. The transphobic slurs made and broadcast on Big Mouth and BBLB merely reinforce BB’s position that homophobia and transphobia is fully permitted and encouraged by the BB platform. As a result, it has been made to look that Coolio asked to leave the house on the flippant actions of Nadia enraged over a pair of shoes - instead of after days and days of abuse. Her moods following Coolio’s departure were a knock-on effect from his time in the house. It was also not broadcast that Coolio intimidated and threatened Nadia with talks of a stabbing earlier in his youth.

She feels her life is now ruined and the goodwill built from her earlier stay in the house has been destroyed. I am writing this as a deeply concerned friend in the hope that Endemol will do something to address this, please. I can only hope Nadia will forgive me for writing this on a public forum but there is no doubt in my mind that she is now at genuine suicide risk. She has understandably lost all trust in the producers and does not want to speak with Stephen Flett (the esteemed psychologist who approved and put through contestants such as Shahbaz and Alexandra). The only further reproach will be legal action and complaints to OFCOM regarding flagrant unfair portrayal. I am asking Endemol to help Nadia Almada.

It is indeed shocking. When you put people in a house together with cameras running it's a risky old business. TBH I'm not really surprised I think Coolio sees himself as above all rules. If this is true it shouldn't have been allowed to continue. At the very least it should have been made clear that Coolio was ejected.

I know Endemol tread a fine line with complaints to OFCOM etc. but it should have been made clear. Then again Coolio probably has the money to access the very best in legal representation.

Isn't6 it sad that BB has come to this? Perhaps it's just as well it's finishing.

Oh dear  I did hear Nadia say to Coolio...you are are a father make your family proud, or something like that...which suggested to me that there was more going on than we saw. I did see the way Coolio looked at her..which in my opinion was one of disgust. It may explain why Nadia was so tearful on her eviction, she may have thought the public saw her to blame. Who knows..but if this is from a genuine friend , they can only take it up with Endemol. i suppose....

I agree Soozy, but in general I think the treatment of some of the female house mates this year was in the main appalling.


Moomin I think you could be right, wasn't he studying law, or was that Spencer I'm thinking of

If all of it's true Skylark it explains her over the top reaction to the shoe episode, although I'm not excusing her for that either, but maybe it was the final straw. I still for the life of me do not know what BB have tried to cover this up if all of it is true, it was always going to come out.

I hope there is a way she can sue the a"se off them Darlo, and as you say Marco is a lawyer now, I can't see him putting something like that out on a public forum without knowing he can back it up.

I agree dame, the shoe incident was a bit silly and didnt make sense to me...but it would if it was a long line of other stuff...BB dont want another Shilpa incident i suppose, but covering it up just makes it worse because it will all come out in the wash...

Stupid beyond belief Skylark, all the sound dips in the world was not going to keep this under wraps. Even Brian and Preston questioned how it must have been edited on live feed last night.

BB are clever, sure Nadia had her opinions on the Josie/John James thing but that was the perfect opportunity to make sure the Coolio thing wasn't mentioned and the producers know that would be a distraction for most people.. they probably told the crowd to boo when Davina mentioned what was in the script and what she had been told to say also, although must admit I did like the Josie chants.

Also when Brian was saying about Come Dine with Me, and Nadia being angry etc the cameras were on him for a while when he was relating his story....damage limitation perhaps ??  But Coolio accepted his fate and left, but he was in the DR for a long time, we only saw a bit of it. He refused to apologise to Nadia , it has been suggested that she called him the N word..if that was the case why wasnt she called to apologise to him ? Or was she ?

There have been a number of forum members who've been to eviction night in the past. Never once have they said that they were told to boo or how to react.

Yes dame, and it was the first thing they asked Vanessa when she came in ......

I can never condone the use of THAT word.....but I think I would have called him far worse

Never liked Coolio KT but i suppose in an arguement one fights fire with fire....its a  shame that its got to this really, i think from what i have read BB could have handled this a lot better. Like Nadia or not she is human and has feelings like the rest of us .....

It seems obvious this year that BB was willing to let anyone be upset in the name of entertainment. John James and his treatment towards women was covered up, Sam, Dave and the JJ's hounding of Corin for five days was edited to be a prank. Now we have this, maybe Endermol are trying keep keep a lid on it until it's been sold to Channel 5.

If Marco is right then why didn't BB send out a statement telling us all that?
maybe because they wanted it hushed up .........coolio is a big fish who insisted on his fee and has big US lawyers on hand. That's my take on it. Who knows?

I disagree, BB in the past have always confronted race or any kind of issues of this kind,  they would have had to tell us why he had to leave if there was more to it than what we saw.


Nadia just couldn't take a joke from Coolio and flew off the handle, simple as that.


We all saw how Nadia over reacted to Ulrika over a broken plate.

From an interview on DS with Makosi:


Coolio reminded me of Science. He was like my little brother. He is 47, I know, but he behaves like a two-year-old.

What did you think to his behaviour with Nadia?
"I was disgusted by his behaviour. You can't go around calling people 'they' and I think it was the right thing that he left. He kept asking whether she was a he or a she. And he asked me and Josie to touch Nadia in an inappropriate way. I think he did have issues with Nadia as a person. I think him leaving was the best for all parties."


Twitter last night and today has been disgusting, what with the JJJ fans targeting Sunshine and the sheer hatred for Nadia.

Sorry but I didn't need to read Marco Sabba's letter to realise Nadia was deeply disturbed whilst she was in the house...It's also saddening that BB felt they had to cover up Coolio's true behaviour and to portray Nadia as a hysterical Banshee..
Myself and other forum members had said she appeared mentally unstable. Marco's letter is saddending to read, but the idiots at the evcition were totally out of order to both Nadia and Makosi. BB once again risks someone's mental health, for the name of entertainment and money making. I really do wish Nadia well.

THIS is why she rubbed her genitals on his bed linen - I did wonder if that was the reason - her way of showing her contempt of him. Hugs Nadia xx
Yes isadora, that makes sense now too ....

You know better than Ulrika, Brian and Makosi who lived there just from watching the HL shows.  You're a genius!

But we do know things have been said and not jokingly, repeatedly asking her if she had a penis, asking other female house mates to put their hands up her clothes...  and this is just coming out now, we have not one clue as to what else he said.

I just said above ^^^^^^^^^ if Collio had been ejected he'd have looked bad and wouldn't have got his fee. I would imagine that he has powerful US litigation lawyers on hand.

Does nobody read replies before replying themselves?

Anyway we all know why Nadia was really evicted, it's because Nadia dared to doubt the wonderfulness of Josie, the tweenies were always going to have their pound of flesh after that.

EXACTLY !!!

Thanks for posting, Dame. I suspected something like this had gone on, how BB expected to keep it quiet I don't know.


We all did Katerina, no rocket science was needed to see there was more to the shoe incident than what was shown.
