The Big Brother drama is escalating outside of the house.
Following his elimination on the hit reality show, Jason De Puy (known as Salina EsTitties by RuPaul's Drag Race fans) is clapping back at Kamuela "Kamu" Kirk over his viral homophobic comments.
As a quick refresher, Jason and Kamu got into a couple verbal altercations over gameplay and strategy while competing in the Big Brother house. However, things got personal between the two when Kamu was caught making anti-drag remarks behind Jason's back. He even said, "Bro, miss me with the drag stuff. Miss me. I’m still an MMA guy, and I have an image to uphold."
Once Jason was eliminated from the show, he was able to see everything Kamu said by watching the episodes and live feeds on social media. Although the personal jabs stung, Jason actually felt relieved that his initial intuitions about Kamu proved to be legit.
"Queen Kamu! What he did to me in the tea party felt personal. To learn outside the house he was saying these things and that it wasn't necessarily about the game... I was like, 'Okay. I'm not crazy.' That's what felt more validating for me," De Puy tells Out.
Unfortunately, Kamu said much more than just the initial anti-drag remarks about Jason. He even threatened to come after Jason's livelihood outside the house by saying, "I'm going to blow his whole spot up. I'm going to end that man's whole career."
Soon after those comments were made, Big Brother fans unearthed a post on Kamu's Instagram where he references George Floyd in a video deemed racist by fans. As a result, many viewers are boycotting the rest of the season until Kamu is removed or eliminated from the show.
"What really hurt me the most was him thinking he was going to hurt my career. He said, 'I'm going to make sure I ruin his career.' You were really trying to make something happen that was going to hurt me outside of the house, so it wasn't about game. Baby, he's hurting his career enough without me having to do anything. I'll let America handle him," De Puy says.
Despite all of the drama that's defined the current season of Big Brother, fans and alum from the hit show have come to Jason's defense online. Many watchers are sticking up for him while begging producers to cast more queer people on future seasons.
"I don't even feel this much love or respect from Drag Race alum or my own sisters on All Stars. I don't talk to any of them. I'm not crying to them with my problems. The fact that BB alum has come to my rescue and I don't even know them is really awesome."
Big Brother airs weekdays on CBS. To see the full interview with Jason De Puy, check out the video at the top of the page.
