BIG Brother fans have slammed the show as “homophobic” after gay contestant Michael Bruner didn’t get to read his HOH letter on camera.

This backlash comes after the series was deemed “racist” for the mistreatment of the season’s star Taylor Hale.

Michael won his first Head of Household competition on this past Sunday’s show.

Whoever was the fastest to walk across the thin beams without falling over won.

Clocking in at 11 seconds, Michael secured his, and his Festie Bestie Brittany’s safety for the week.

This big milestone came after the 28-year-old already won four out of five Power of Vetos.

Now, his fiance, Hayden Middleton, is speaking up, after the producers allegedly chose not to air Michael reading his letter from home.

A Big Brother fan tweeted: “Wow. No HOH reveal or HOH letter for Michael? This is some bulls**t #bb24.”

To that, Hayden replied: “Wow. Very surprised by @CBSBigBrother not including my letter to Michael when every single other letter this season has been included.”

“For Michael, I wish they had put it in the episode tonight.”

Hayden told TMZ that he was very upset they did not air Michael reading the letter because “it would have been a good opportunity to highlight a monogamous, committed relationship at a time when there is a lot of negativity directed at the LGBTQ community.”

He went on to say that he didn’t think the show meant any harm by it, but it hurt because they showed the other letters on TV.

Only fans who subscribe to the live feeds got a chance to hear him read his letter out loud.

However, Big Brother did make up for it by posting photos of his HOH basket and Hayden’s letter to Michael on Twitter.

‘SHAME ON THEM!’

Furious fans took to social media to express their opinions on the matter.

“SHAME on CBS & production of Big Brother for not making Micheal’s reading of HOH letter from home part of the broadcast,” wrote one fan.

Another fan wrote: “Shame on @CBSBigBrother for not airing Michael’s letter from home when all other HOHs got theirs read.”

A third chimed in: “This letter should have been aired.”

“I love BB but this makes me not want to watch anymore,” said another.

One furious fan tweeted: “There is literally NOTHING in this letter that would warrant production to not include it. If there had been a personal detail or something then sure, cut that bit out, but the whole thing?”

“SO Sweet. Shame on BB,” commented a fan.

POOR TREATMENT

Although fans initially said that season 24 was “boring,” a lot has happened that shook up the game.

In the first week, contestant Paloma Aguilar self-evicted after she was allegedly being slammed as racist.

Fans thought she bullied Taylor, one of the Black houseguests, and that led to her departure.

Paloma, 22, along with Alyssa Snider, 24, referred to Taylor as “pageant girl” instead of her name, after telling the house she won Miss Michigan.

Just hours after moving into the house, the women were heard on the feeds giving Taylor the nickname.

“Another thing is with ‘pageant girl’ is like we need to also get in good with the guys. Like she cannot dominate being like the seductress of the guys,” Paloma said.

Later in the day, Paloma and Jasmine Davis, 29, appeared to be making fun of the way Taylor walks.

Poking fun at their fellow contestant, Paloma said: “She walked by me and was like…”

Then she proceeded to tilt her head from side to side while Jasmine laughed.

“I swear she does it wherever she goes,” the 22-year-old continued.

“Yesterday, she was in the storage room and was like…”

Paloma stuck her head out and back and walked slowly, then turned around like someone would in a pageant.

Jasmine continued to laugh as Paloma said “It’s like a bent over the back thing,” and proceeded to demonstrate her walk.

She was also part of an alliance called the Girl’s Girls, which excluded only two women, Taylor and Nicole Layog, 41.

Paloma told the HOH at one point that he needed to put Taylor up because she “scares the s**t out of me and everyone else.”

After Michael put up the Festie Bestie trio of Monte, Joseph, and Terrance on the block, tonight’s episode will show who won the POV and who will be the final nominees.

Big Brother airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8/7c and Thursdays at 9/8c on CBS.
