Someone forgot the camera was rolling and is in big trouble for it.
Big Brother's GinaMarie Zimmerman has been fired from her day job for using racial slurs while on the show. Zimmerman was seen on live feed saying the N-word, while having a conversation about insurance with fellow contestants.
The Staten Island, NY native was a pageant coordinator for the East Coast USA Pageant, Inc. She worked for the company for five years and they were shocked that she could "display such acts of hate and racism."
Lauren Handler, the CEO of East Coast USA, issued a statement about the incident to the Hollywood Reporter. "We celebrate the diversity of our participants as all ethnicities are beautiful... In a business where we are surrounded by beauty every day we are saddened to see something so ugly come from someone we put on a very high pedestal."
Handler stated her gratitude for the uncensored live feed. "We are actually thankful that this show let us see Ginamarie for who she truly is as we would never want her to be a role model to our future contestants."
The 32 year-old contestant has not been contacted yet, but will be given the news when she returns home. "We are unable to contact her at this time but when she returns from the Big Brother house we will be terminating her employment for her unforgivable behavior.
Zimmerman was the second contestant to get fired from her job. Aaryn Gries was fired from Zephyr Talent after making offensive and racial comments to other contestants on the show.
