Police Called During Live TV Broadcast After Violent Confrontation on Celebrity Big Brother
A heated confrontation during a live broadcast of Big Brother has resulted in the police being called and a celebrity housemate being hospitalized. Celebrity Big Brother, known for its explosive rows between contestants, witnessed a particularly intense clash in 2015. Former contestant Farrah Abraham, famous for her appearance on Teen Mom, was involved in numerous clashes during her time on the show.
One confrontation became so violent that the producers had no choice but to call the police for assistance. Nicola McLean, a former housemate who appeared on the show in 2012 and later became a regular on Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, opened up about her clash with Abraham. She revealed that Abraham did not appreciate the comments being made about her and things quickly escalated on September 18, 2015.
The situation worsened when Abraham went head-to-head with Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace just one week later. McLean described the incident, stating that Horgan-Wallace threw a drink at Abraham, resulting in the show being taken off the air for the first time. The altercation reportedly involved the throwing of chairs and champagne glasses, leading to minor injuries for EastEnders actress Vicki Michelle, who happened to be caught in the middle of the clash.
The incident prompted Rylan Clark, the host of Big Brother’s Bit on the Side, to address the situation and explain that they had lost their panel for the evening. However, the show continued without them. Both Abraham and Janice Dickinson, another former housemate, were issued cautionary notices by the police for common assault. A statement from Hertfordshire Police confirmed that two women, aged 24 and 60, received cautions as a result of investigations into the assault allegations. Farrah Abraham later admitted to throwing a glass, while claiming that Horgan-Wallace had assaulted her.
The explosive confrontation on Celebrity Big Brother in 2015 made headlines and shocked viewers. The incident serves as a reminder of the intense emotions and conflicts that can arise within the confines of a reality TV show. The producers of Big Brother were left with no choice but to involve the police when the situation became physically violent, leaving one contestant hospitalized. Although conflicts and arguments are common on reality TV, the severity of this incident was unprecedented, resulting in lasting consequences for those involved.
It remains to be seen how this incident will impact the future of reality TV and the measures that will be taken to ensure the safety and well-being of contestants. As viewers eagerly anticipate the return of Big Brother to their screens, they should be prepared for the typical drama and conflicts, but also hope that incidents like this remain rare occurrences.
