People demand Big Brother US star's removal for 'abusive actions'

Rylie from Big Brother US is coming under fire for being “verbally abusive” towards Katherine on the show. People now want him removed, including Katherine’s family, while he’s reportedly been spoken to by the show’s production team as a warning.

Clips of Rylie and Katherine’s interactions show him telling her to “watch her attitude” and that she “doesn’t just walk past and not give me a kiss.” He was also seen questioning whether she’s “got a problem with him today” before instructing her to “sit down.”

He asked her: “What are you doing right now?” Katherine responded: “I just, I felt like I was talking better if I leaned up.” Then when she told him she was “still going to vote how she wants to vote,” he told her, “Hey, watch your attitude.”

The verbal abuse and intimidation tactics that Rylie is exhibiting towards Katherine is actually terrifying to watch ESPECIALLY since production is editing it as a charming romance. Something needs to be done. #BB27 pic.twitter.com/unQS7TbPKM

Viewers are now begging production to step in and feel Rylie’s behaviour has been “aggressive” and “crossed the line” towards Katherine. Although many people think Rylie’s behaviour is getting worse, he will remain in the Big Brother house for the foreseeable future.

A production insider exclusively told The U.S. Sun: “As of right now, there are no talks to remove Rylie from the Big Brother house yet, but he is being closely monitored. Perhaps more so than any other contestant, he’s having a close eye kept on him.”

“As they are monitored 24/7, things can change at any moment that could warrant a removal of him, or any other contestant,” the source added, saying Rylie has not been removed since there have been no “clear violations of the show guidelines or his contract – yet.”

They continued: “Producers are aware of his behaviour and are closely watching the comments. If they feel, at any point, he is a harm to anyone in the household or he says anything that steps over the line, he will be removed.”

The source added how people not liking him is not a reason, solely, to remove him, but claim the producers have the contestants’ safety as their top priority. Rylie and Katherine have been inseparable since season 27 started, and have shared multiple kisses on-screen.

The U.S. Sun reported that in 2018, Rylie was driving while “appearing in a drunken condition.” The court documents stated Rylie decided to “unlawfully, wilfully, knowingly and wrongfully drive and operate a certain motor vehicle” while being “intoxicated.”
