Big Brother slammed for Joseph Abdin and Taylor Hale's 'problematic' costumes pair was forced to wea

BIG Brother has been deemed "problematic" once again after two houseguests were forced to wear costumes as a punishment.

Taylor Hale and Joseph Abdin have to dress up like Sid Vicious and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, after losing a Power of Veto Competition.

This week's Veto competition was the popular trading comp.

For those who aren't familiar, the houseguests compete in a competition and get knocked out one by one.

The first person to get knocked out claims a "prize," which is usually the Power of Veto.

But the catch is all of the castmates after them can either swap their prize or keep what they have- whether good or bad.

The pair is dressed up like Sid Vicious, bassist for British punk group Sex Pistols, and his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen.

Seeing as though Nancy was supposedly murdered by him, fans think the costumes are problematic.

THAT'S SO WRONG!

One fan tweeted out a photo of the pair from the live feeds and gave her reasoning for why they thought the choice of costumes was problematic.

"#BB24's choice of Taylor and Joseph's costume punishment seems problematic," the Twitter user wrote.

"They are dressed as Skid and Fancy, a takeoff on Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, who were known for their addictions; and Sid was charged for murdering her. He overdosed and died before his trial."

Somebody replied to them and said: "Great. I am not looking forward to explaining this to my 13-year-old tomorrow. Thanks, @CBSBigBrother."

Other Twitter users commented on their outfits on a Big Brother updates page.

"A problematic choice by production, but since when does production shy away from problematic people?" wrote one fan.

"Sid Vicious of the sex pistols, & Nancy Spungen, the woman he allegedly murdered in an allegedly drug-induced delusion. Allegedly. Great," said another.

Another chimed in with a facepalm emoji and commented: "Sid also killed Nancy but what a fun pop culture reference."

"Sid & Nancy are not exactly #CoupleGoals but I’m still here for the next 48 hours of tension and s**tty accents," added another.

One angry fan wrote: "If they are actually Sid and Nancy, that is f**ked up."

"This is awful … a murderer and his murdered girlfriend… wtf is big brother doing?" asked one fan.

Other fans commented on how bad their wigs looked and how those costumes are not "it."

BIG PROBLEMS

This is not the first time, this season of Big Brother has come under fire for something controversial.

Taylor was at the brunt of the problems when she was bullied and the show was deemed "racist" after the way her houseguests treated her.

Fans vowed to boycott the show if production didn't do anything about it.

It was barely a week into the show and Paloma Aguilar was already making fun of the way she walked, due to her being in pageants and called her mean nicknames.

Taylor was also left out of the all-girls alliance, along with Nicole Layog, who was also of another race and part of the LGBTQ+ community, fueling the controversy even more.

Paloma eventually self-evicted and apologized for the way she treated Taylor.

She was put up on the block, but not before her houseguests said she was going to "flip out."

Then a few days later, the former Miss Michigan walked around the house in fancy dresses and said: "This is my finale dress."

Houseguests thought it was insensitive due to the nominees just being put on the block and many of her houseguests iced her out after that.

Other houseguests called her "aggressive" and said her mother would "not approve of her behavior."

NOT RIGHT!

Another problem emerged when Big Brother fans noticed that the show did not air Michael Bruner reading his HOH letter.

He is one of the few members of the LGBTQ+ community in the house this year and since they showed everyone else's fans deemed the reality competition series as "homophobic."

Michael won his first Head of Household competition last week after raking in many Veto wins.

His fiance, Hayden Middleton, spoke 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.
