Big Brother season 25 contestant Luke Valentine is catching heat from fans after he dropped the N-word during a recent live feed.
Valentine, 30, let the word slip during a conversation with fellow houseguests Cory Wurtenberger, Hisam Goueli and Jared Fields on Wednesday, August 9. “We’re in the f—king G’s room, n–ga!” he said in a clip of the moment shared via TikTok, after which he covered his mouth with his hand and corrected himself by saying “dude.”
