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.”Valentine’s language prompted surprised stares from Wurtenberger, 21, and Goueli, 45.
He proceeded to apologize to the group and directly to Fields, who is Black. “It wasn’t what you thought I was [going to say.] I was gonna call him a narwhale [sic],” Valentine told Fields, who said he didn’t care about his use of the word.Later on in the live feed, Valentine and Fields poked fun at their castmates’ strong reactions to the comment. “I should have made you feel uncomfortable real quick, like, ‘Whoa, bro.
