Controversial housemate Justin Dizon is the first to be evicted from the “Pinoy Big Brother” House after he received the lowest percentage of Kumu and text votes combined.
After tallying the scores, Justin got a total of -2% votes, which means he received more votes to be evicted than to be saved.
Justin became the subject of controversy after his remarks about a fellow housemate went viral online.
In a video clip, Justin was caught telling Jie-Ann, who had just come out of the shower, that he and the others were talking about her because she “doesn’t take a bath.” He was then seen wiping his hands on the towel that she had wrapped around her head. Jie-Ann, however, shrugged off his actions, saying, “Wala akong pakialam. Sanay na ako sa ganiyan. (I don’t mind. I’m used to it.)”
“Sabagay, marumi ka nga pala (Well, you are filthy),” Justin replied.
Filipino netizens criticized Justin for his attitude towards Jie-Ann, who had mentioned to Big Brother inside the confession room that the reason why she doesn’t bathe regularly is that her family has difficulty accessing clean water every day where she lives in Saranggani.
He has since apologized for his actions and admitted that it came from a place of privilege. Read more about it here: Justin Dizon Apologizes for Insensitive Remark to PBB Housemate
