CBS promotes misogynistic verbal abuse to go on in the Big Brother House

by Marcy Brown
CBS has reached new lows this season in promoting misogynistic tirades in the Big Brother House. The houseguest Evil Dick on CBS’s Big Brother reality show has spent the past few weeks verbally abusing a young woman, Jen Johnson with threats of rape, insults focused on her sexuality and hopes for her death. His abuse has been so severe, that she has asked to drop out of the competition. This weekend Evil Dick he added homophobia to his repertoire.

This season of CBS’s reality show Big Brother has reached a new low in misogyny.
The houseguests have been subjected to the constant angry tirades of one extremely abusive houseguest with anger management problems who calls himself “Evil Dick.”

CBS has done nothing while Evil Dick makes young women the target of his misogynistic tirades.

Do it now. It only takes a minute!

Do it loud and say it proud.

Alert all media outlets too!

Sample letter:

Dear CBS,
I am writing to complain that CBS and BB-8 sponsors are supporting misogyny. The violence and abuse directed towards women on this show is unacceptable. This is not a game and this is not entertainment.
I intend to Boycott the BB-8 sponsors.
