Big Brother 28 drag contestant eviction

Overview

In late July 2026, former Drag Race contestant Jason De Puy was evicted from CBS’s Big Brother 28 after a unanimous 12‑0 vote. The eviction followed a Blockbuster challenge loss and a heated exchange in which houseguest Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk expressed discomfort with De Puy’s drag persona, prompting accusations of homophobia and a shift in house alliances.

By early August, coverage emphasized that Kirk had personally targeted De Puy, leading the drag queen to describe the experience as a personal attack. De Puy recounted an emotional breakdown upon realizing he was the sole queer contestant, receiving support from fellow houseguests and reflecting on his mother’s death during a conversation with returning player Angela Murray. The narrative evolved from the immediate eviction mechanics to the broader personal and cultural ramifications of De Puy’s participation in the show.
