'Big Brother' contestants are catching heat for mocking houseguest Ian Terry for being autistic.

, were caught on the live feeds yukking it up about Ian. They openly, and cruelly, mocked his self-soothing technique -- rocking back and forth during conversations --- and said it turns them off.Dani was caught on the live feeds saying she can't even look at Ian sometimes because his constant movement stresses her out ... and Nicole agrees.

Christmas and Memphis join in the bullying and make things worse ... Memphis describes Ian as the"red rum" of the house, a reference to"The Shining." The group shares a big ole laugh when Memphis claims he might have nightmares of Ian standing over his bed, rocking back and forth. Unfortunately, this kind of bullying has become par for the course on 'Big Brother' -- which has dealt with

There are always horrible people on BB, and this is All Stars. Some serious scumbags. CBS should break protocol and have an on-air discussion about the racist double standard we saw last night with Christmas and also the bullying of Ian. Call them out in real time.

I didn't get a chance 2 see it but anyone making fun of an autistic person is just scum! Some things just needs 2 be off limits! No different if some1 hav an accident 2day and become disabled AND can't wipe themselves; trust me they'll feel differently smh

First time I'm not watching this show .... I hope he wins again 🙂

Ian: finally feeling confident enough to walk around the house unfettered. Memphis: 'what's his deal? Being confident all of a sudden? Let's go bully him.' Every season. Every type of marginalized group. Maybe BB is just a perfect representation of the US after all. 😡

This needs to stop. Fire these people for bullying.

Awesome. They’re all the assholes they appear to be.

why do they have to be so rude to each other 😕

The live feed is always cutting off, why didn’t they cut it off then?

RoulaKoromila Να τα χάλια λοιπόν! Η κατάντια της ανθρώπινης φύσης !! Διαφημίζουν και προάγουν την κοροϊδία της ανθρώπινης στέρησης και αδυναμίας! Τι ντροπή!

I don't watch 'Reality' TV, but I saw that dumb laughing blond on TMZ live. I'd like to show that other 'RedRum' idiot, a scene from 'The Shining' personally.

Jo_Savior Yikes

They’re not “mean girls” they’re fucking assholes

Barron Trump has Austim. Its clearly noticeable

donathanhurley Ian is the best!

Lol

What a disgrace .....humans can be terrible.

Such BS! Take them into the DR & let them know what WE think of them & air it! It will always be out there 2 view just like it is with Ian 🤬

Why the fu*k would they mock him for being Autistic? That's so INHUMANE!

CBSBigBrother This is inexcusable & they will all get slammed when exiting the show. How old are they? Ian's intelligence can run circles around those dumbshits.

thepapacolin this is why I’m done with this season. A bunch of high school mean girls

Disgraceful You got this Ian! TeamIan BB22

Well, then maybe the 3 or 4 that were making fun of Ian. Maybe they need to be removed and replace with other more respectful players. I hate freak people who bully and make fun of others withdisabilities, and if you keep them on there. I guess you approved of bullying g.

Who does that? My son is on the spectrum, where as, his 3 older siblings that aren’t on the spectrum. We are all about making sure he feels welcome and never judged. My older kids WOULD NOT allow this ANYWHERE!! StopBullying treateveryoneequal mysonissmartashell autismspeaks

hey CBSBigBrother

Omg I love Ian and I’m so annoyed with this season of BigBrother

😡😡😡

Of course they did because that’s how it goes in Trumps America. Next ask those contestants who they’re voting for 😉

This show is a disgrace just like it’s host JCMoonves

Not cool!! At ALL!! PURE HOEASSNESS!

Trump's son BT has Austim. You can clearly see something is off 🤔

We’re all disgusted. teamIan choosekindness

I’m rooting for Ian, Day, or Kevin

PLEASE. WE ARE IN THE END TIMES! REPENT AND CONFESS TO GOD YOUR SINS AND BEG HIM FOR MERCY AND FORGIVENESS. READ: JOEL, REVELATION, JEREMIAH, EZEKIEL 33,PSALMS44 MATTHEW 24, MATTHEW 4:4, JOHN 3:16, JOHN 10:10, . BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON GOD!!

🤬🤬🤬 CBSBigBrother big brother gets low and low every year. done

Ian is playing up his autism for sympathy votes. I never noticed him rocking like that until this year where he announced he’s autistic

Oh so y’all are just going to ignore this?

This is disgusting! Shame on them!

so wrong

Boycott Big Brother for not doing anything to protect Ian from being mock by the house MAKE ME SICK. YOU IN COURAGE BULLYING. JULIE YOU DON'T DO SHIT YOU ARE JUST LIKE THEM.

I am a mother of a autistic son. If anyone ever talked about my son like they are him. They would unleash my Mama Bear and i would destroy them. I'd sue and I would also make sure that they apolgized. autismacceptance. autismmom

They should be removed, in my opinion.

BB needs aa whole new revamping/change of their Producers, & Casting directors. Otherwise its gonna be the same old bs year in, & out. Even tho fans have begged them to change BB's format. First & foremost cast at least 5 to 6 Black People per season.

This season is so whack. For so many reasons.

Because Big Brother is always known for its class.

If BIG BROTHER doesn't get rid of the pieces of crap making fun of Ian, just because he's autistic, the U.S. people should cancelbigbrother AND Nicole got EXACTLY what she deserved for being... Her usual self👎

Get this shitty show off the air already. If they can end KeepingUpWithTheKardashians, they can end bigbrother. Please.

they’re disgusting, vile sad excuse for humans.

Memphis said he was going to intimidate Ian, Nicole said, 'Don't do that!' And the feeds cut. Nic yesterday said Ian's anxiety makes hers worse. That's not a bad thing to say. Yes she laughed then gave Dani a look like oh my God this is terrible.

As a mother of a beautiful son with AUTISM , whom also rocks, How dare the slick 6 have the nerve to make fun , disgrace IAN.

justmellonie76 Is there ever a season BB people do not make it on TMZ.....

Can we cancel this now?

Please fix your headline to name the offending HG's instead. This is the opposite of what Ian wanted when he disclosed his diagnosis. Name the assholes not the victim.

They should take this show off the air!!! I’ve always loved it but this one is bad!!!

CBSBigBrother The fuck y’all going to do about it?

This is exactly why I stopped watching

Are we even surprised tho I'm sure they are Trump supporters taking after their leader smh when the 1st two episodes aired I knew they was like that stuck up thinking their better then everyone else. . . 🤦🏽‍♂️

get their ass

Ian is my hero. Love this kid. I hope he out smarts them all.

What kind of example do these people make? And some of them are parents....

Really

if they dont expell them off the show i stg..

Fake scripted BS

These people need to be kicked off the show but, I am sure there not

Disgusting they did this, but black house guests are always ostracized ridiculed and voted off first just because. CBS BB been full of shit

Thank You for your story. Those people making fun of Ian have NO class at all - totally disgusting behavior.

Like TRUMP mocking a disabled person at a rally - Not directly to the disabled person BUT still COMPLETELY DISGUSTING AND WRONG!!!! Treat people how you want to be treated NO MATTER if it is directly to them or behind theirs backs.

It’s disgusting!!!

That’s sad they should be sent out of that house or be humiliated in front of him.

Must be a Trump supporter

Ok love to see you holding these people accountable unlike production. now do one calling out all the houseguests who are in the all white alliance targeting the POC & continuously saying microagressions to the two black women (Bayleigh & Da’Vonne) in the house. Thanks!!

What a crappy season

CBSBigBrother has yet to show it and they probably will not 😔

Sickening to watch

i thought the left had a no bully platform, well except they were allowed to bully red button pushers, but besides that. they alleged that you couldn't bully especially the weak. i guess he must be a trump voter.

How can CBS allow them to keep playing? Memphis, Nicole and Dani should all be disqualified from playing the game. I take offense to them making fun of Ian. I have a grandson on the spectrum and this is just bulling from adults.

NotJosieGrossy

now correct your bullshit inaccurate article about tyler exploiting BLM

I feel so bad for Ian 😢😢

they must be Trumpers. Monkey See, Monkey Do.

At this point I’m ashamed to have ever loved this show.

Despicable, if they don't start reprimanding this type of behaviour, then I'm gonna be out.

This is them. Their names are Nicole Franzel, Memphis Garrett, Dani Briones & Cody Califiore

Ok but where is the article about the racism?

They are wrong ian is my favorite player and he won the half million dollars. So they can f off

Social media had the ability to make this a fun interactive experience for the fans. Now it has absolutely ruined it. Oh well, we can't turn back time.

Omg yall just ended dani and nicole im tf cryinggggggg

I am angry about this. I am Autistic too so the fact that he was bullied because of his autism is wrong. Ian still inspires me to do more every day.

I think they should be held accountable, but to put his first name in the headline and use his headshot... This will impact Ian more than the others. ☹️

Absolutely disgusting... BB22allstars BigBrother22 CBSBigBrother are you going to let this slide? DoTheRightThing !!

Truly surprised as I expected Big Brother contestants to be of the highest moral character

And it’s a flat out DISGRACE. CBSBigBrother

Houseguest Memphis Garrett saying that Davonne Rogers, a black contestant, comes off aggressive in the way she speaks there are more clips worse than these

89razorskate20 If you’re naming names why not name Cody he was there. In the beginning it wasn’t bad. Memphis talked about Ian being twins because his behavior changed. He imitated him walking as 2 different people. I even laughed at first then he took it too far talking about intimidation.

Hopefully CBS airs their comments on TV so they cannot hide from themselves.

YUP GET THEM LETS GET RID OF THEIR BRAND DEALS

Expect this next on BB: 'Opinions expressed by Houseguests do not reflect the opinions of CBS.' 🤦‍♀️

You forgot Cody!!

Totally unacceptable. They should be sent home

they just cant get through the season without controversy.

It’s Big Brother. Grow up

KatelynSharp14

And what’s worse CBSBigBrother not doing anything about it! They’re slowly losing me

Drag ‘em!

I’m not surprised that these SPECIFIC people are like this! Memphis showed he’s racist day 1! Dani made comments about Davonnes HAIR! Christmas targeting the only BLACK women in the house and Nicole want Bayleigh out because she stated the truth about her previous game play! 🗑

saucegirl2000

where was this when tyler was using BLM as a strategy? i of course appreciate this article because i love ian, but seriously?

As a huge Big Brother fan, also being a mom to a 7yr old son, who is on the spectrum it’s been disheartening to watch and hear how some of the houseguests are speaking about Ian. bb22

They are assholes for the bullshit they said but unless Ian was there and they kept it up in his face. It’s not bullying..bad taste and horrible jokes but not bullying

please don’t address Ian as “autistic Ian”. His disability does not define him. Using person-first language is more respectful to anyone with a condition.

bullies

Congrats agrodner22

He is a former winner and a sweetheart. Who cares what they think?

He fu*ckin needs to go‼️ 🖕 him‼️ AlwaysWearProtection😷 💜💛

Wow how sad I feel so sad for my autistic son when he gets older I hope the internet destroy all of them and we don’t want their sorry ass apologize that will come pretty soon BigBrother

Woooow. So disgusting and disappointing. Memphis, Nicole and Christmas.. your time in the BB house is coming to an end. Y’all are horribly sad individuals. TeamIan AutismAwareness AutismisAwesome

why mention Ian’s name in the article title and not the actual perpetrators ffs

Horrific. We adore Ian, and this is disgusting behaviour from the house guests BB22allstars

This is honestly disgusting. Do these people not know they’re on camera It’s baffling to me how they were brought back and NOT pulled out of the game for these disgusting comments made by them. Memphis, Nicole and Dani need a reality check if they think it’s okay to do this.

Kick them all off the show

Has anybody ever been around an autistic person? He would be on the very very high-end Spectrum if he was. So miss me with that.

Mrs_ARockstar So ya’ll call this out but not the racism? SMH

What is this? Tattle - tell journalism.

O how thos world is so sensitive. Here stay in a house for 3 months and dont make fun of each other.

tessamarie_xx yikes 😳 big brother is in trouble

Cancel this season CBSBigBrother worstseasonever bb22

Memphus, Nicole & Dani should be let go especially Memphis! Bring back Nicole A, Janelle, & Kaysar to take their place.

Treat them like the racists and ban them from tv

Can y’all agrodner22 in this tweet?

TMZ body shames men 5 days a week on national television, maybe you should not be reporting on this because you know the saying about throwing stones in glass houses, unless you want the Cancel Mob coming after you.

Ok thanks for talking about this, but also bring up the microagressions towards the minorities in the house as well.

Omg

This is absolutely disgusting... Big Brother should NOT stand for this ignorance and create a house of inclusion... they are certainly showing their “true colours” if they just let this slide

Yep Typical behavior I swear they pick some of the most childish and immature people to play this game. formerfan

It’s gonna by time for some choke slams

BBFeedsFairy Of course, they’ll offer their lame apologies and make excuses for their selfish / childish behavior. 👎🏽

That will teach him not to get vaccinated!

Id hurt him. My 3 yr old is autistic.

BBFeedsFairy SteMichelle

That TMZ article is what those bigots deserve 🤷🏻‍♂️ BB22

We’re waiting for the article on the micro aggressions or is it so expected from BB HGs that it’s no longer worth writing about?

And production hasn’t done anything. Get Memphis, Nicole and Dani our of there!!!

Losers

not cool

CBS needs to take these contestants out of the show immediately.

francis4sho1

YIKES it made it to Tmz

autismspeaks

Very sad... these contestants this year are suppose to me more mature and wise..... lost respect of these mean girls...

people saying they need to be 'fired' ... these aren't employees they are contestants on a reality tv show

Trash people be trash.

Memphis needs to go. So can the rest of that group actually. Seriously, big brother should pull them into a room to educate them. It’s reality tv but also an opportunity to teach people, including viewers about autism.

And production hasn’t done anything which is even worse

It’s on TMZ EvelDick hamsterwatch

Nicole Franzel here hysterically laughing as another houseguest mocks another‘s stimming due to their autism. Is this someone you want endorsing your brand? bb22 goodamerican OlaySkin Betabrand Pantene cvs Walgreens FabFitFun ruggable 310Nutrition burstoralcare

Cancel this season, dawg.

bb22 teamian

Kydwykkyd101 Can we get a tag for all of their sponsors up in here please and thank you.

People do worse on Twitter and those being upset are probably those that would return insult for insult. People talk about others. These people are filmed a lot. No one looks good filmed 24/7. Was it nice? No. Was it bullying? No. They didn't do it to him.

Sad

:(

Can’t believe it’s still on the air. Wouldn’t watch it if you paid me.

sean_northwest they are the worst

Thats DISGUSTING and they should FIRED!!!!

😡

The contestants who mocked Ian need to be FIRED. Bigbrother

IID activists about to be on ya ass son‼️
