However, in Kay B’s case, the decision was made following an investigation into claims that she physically violated fellow housemate Beekay.
In an official statement, Big Brother Mzansi emphasised the importance of the safety of all housemates.
“In light of a conversation in the Big Brother Mzansi house concerning a housemate (Beekay) who claimed that he was physically violated by fellow housemate (Kay B), Big Brother investigated the matter further, as the safety of all housemates is of utmost importance.
“After careful consideration, and taking into account the serious nature of the claim, Big Brother has decided that the housemate in question (Kay B) will be disqualified from the Big Brother house.
Biggie said the decision follows last week’s Sunday educational session with housemates on gender-based violence awareness.
“We have always maintained that we do not condone any acts of gender-based violence and, as such, we will be taking the necessary corrective action.”
