'Big Brother' 15 Cast Member Investigated for Child Pornography Jokes On-Air
"Big Brother" contestant Spencer Clawson is the subject of an investigation after making references to child pornography while on the show. He allegedly made the comments while cameras and microphones were rolling during the live stream, meaning that they were not aired during the prime time episode.
During downtime, Clawson took the microphone off of fellow contestant McCrae Olson. He then pretended to impersonate Olson and made vile comments about child pornography and masturbation.
"I like to [masturbate] to child porn. Did I ever tell y'all about that? I love it," Clawson joked. "[Masturbating] to child porn is my favorite thing there is. I love it when they're around three or four years old. My favorite ones are when you can tell they're in a basement."
Two housemates, Andy Herren and Amanda Zuckerman, were present during the exchange and tried to change the topic. Clawson's comments did not fall on deaf ears and soon the police in Clawson's hometown in Conway, Arkansas, investigated Clawson's history.
"The Conway Police Department was alerted to comments made," chief AJ Gary told TMZ. "Due to the nature of the comments, our department moved quickly to look into the matter. At this time we haven't found that any criminal act was committed."
This season of "Big Brother" has been one insult and controversial statement after another. Two contestants have already been fired from their real-life jobs due to making racist and other insensitive remarks about their housemates. They have yet to learn that they have been fired and will only do so once they leave the house.
During last night's episode, contestant Amanda got in on the action and made racist remarks towards her housemate, Candice. She even went so far as to joke about being racist.
"Yes, I said that. Am I racist now? Does that make me racist?" Amanda said in front of her housemates, who were all clearly uncomfortable. If not careful, Amanda could find herself unemployed once she leaves the Big Brother house.
