Big Brother Season 28 Sparks Controversy Over Live‑Feed Fight

CBS and Paramount+ launched Big Brother’s 28th season on July 9, 2026, marking the show’s 1,000th original episode and a “BB Time Trip” theme. During the week, Head of Household Rick Devens nominated three houseguests, leading to a heated argument that was largely edited out of the televised broadcast but captured on the 24/7 live feed.

The live feed also recorded Devens and fellow contestant Kamu Kirk reacting to a fellow houseguest’s “unicorn pajamas” prank with homophobic language. Former contestant Frankie Grande condemned the remarks on social media, calling the two participants “homophobic bigots” and urging their immediate removal. Fans echoed the backlash, demanding that both Devens and Kirk be evicted from the house.
