Big Brother Season 25 LIVE Jared Fields slammed by Jag's family in scathing statement after usin
BIG Brother has avoided addressing the newest incident involving the Week 5 Head of Household, Jared Fields, and a houseguest's family is not letting it slide.
While the CBS series continues to disregard Jared's use of a slur during Labor Day weekend, Jag Bains' family issued a strong statement through social media.
Jared was not thrilled with America Lopez, believing she was deliberately losing competitions, and viewers with access to live feeds over the weekend witnessed a heated debate between Cory Wurtenberger and Jared about America, where Jared called her the "r-word" slur.
The scene was not shown on the most recent Big Brother program, but a video of Jared apologizing for the slur has been circulating since the Week 5 veto battle.
The family of Season 25 Houseguest Jag Bains responded to CBS and Big Brother's lack of action, writing on Instagram, in part: "Such language is entirely unacceptable, particularly on a prominent platform like Big Brother."
The statement issued by Jag's family was supported by the Special Olympics official account, which posted its own statement in response to the post, writing: "Special Olympics stands behind Jag Bains and his family in their condemnation of the use of the r-word by a contestant on CBS’s Big Brother."
Meanwhile, Red Utley was evicted from the Big Brother Sunday house by a vote of 8-2 and Cameron was crowned the next Head of Household.
Tune in to Big Brother Sunday at 8pm ET CBS to find out who gets nominated for eviction.

How to watch
Big Brother airs on Sundays and Wednesdays, with live episodes on Thursdays.
You can watch the live episodes on CBS or Paramount+.
Paramount+ also has a 24-hour live stream of the houseguests.
Who has been evicted so far?
There have been multiple evictions and one houseguest kicked out of the Big Brother house.
Below are the eliminations so far this season.
- Kirsten Elwin
- Reilly Smedley
- Luke Valentine – kicked out
- Hisam Goueli
- Red Utley
More on why Luke Valentine was given the boot
Luke starred on the show’s 25th season but was quickly removed after he used a racial slur on a Paramount+ live feed.
The incident occurred during an episode that aired on August 9, 2023, while Luke was chatting with fellow contestants Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger, and Hisam Goueli.
As he was chatting away, he used the N-word which resulted in his removal because it violated the show’s code of conduct.
“It was an emotional 24 hours in the Big Brother house as the houseguests learned that one of their own broke the Big Brother Code of Conduct and was removed from the game,” host Julie Chen Moonves said, via People.
Luke was informed of the decision in a separate room but it was not filmed for the show.
Reilly breaks silence after eviction, concluded
“I cannot thank @bigbrothercbs enough for giving me the greatest experience of my life, as well as thank all of the INCREDIBLE people who have lifted me up & surrounded me with so much love & support,” Reilly continued.
“I see & love you all.”
“I truly feel like the luckiest girl in the WORLD,” the former houseguest concluded.
Reilly breaks silence after eviction, continued
Reilly continued: “I’d do anything to run back into that house for more atomic wedgies, nethergorgons, cheese beds, butt-kicks, hambourines, to watch Matt eat peanut butter+roast beef sandwiches, pour Jag a glass of milk, the list goes on.”
“I’ll be counting down the seconds until I can reunite with all of my AMAZING friends.”
“While no part of me felt it was my time to go, I vowed that no matter what, I would put every ounce of my soul into this & I am forever grateful I could play the game I’ve always dreamt of playing. I would do it all over again & again & again.”
Reilly breaks silence after eviction
Reilly has posted on Instagram after her eviction earlier in the season.
“Oh Big Brother, where do I even begin?” her statement began.
“In just 2 short weeks I’ve had the pleasure of becoming a part of THE most incredible family, creating some of the strongest bonds I’ve ever known & will cherish for the rest of my life.”
“Living in the Big Brother House has taught me so many valuable lessons that I will carry with me to the outside world. Resilience, bravery, patience, confidence, kindness— the list goes on.”
Romance is in the air
Big Brother has resulted in more happy marriages than The Bachelor has, according to ScreenRant.
There have actually been a lot of popular showmances that eventually got married such as season 11’s Jordan Lloyd and Jeff Schroeder, season 12’s Brendon Villegas and Rachel Reilly, and season 20’s Swaggy C and Bayleigh Dayton, among many others.
Cirie and Jared knew they were both casted on the show
Jared Fields revealed in a confessional during an earlier episode that he knew his mom, Cirie, would be in the Big Brother house with him.
“I knew my mom was gonna be here,” Jared said in the diary room.
After Izzy Gleicher revealed that she knew the duo’s secret, Jared said: “We planned to keep it a secret, but it’s a little scary that someone found out our identity, and we haven’t even been an hour into the house yet.
“I’m hoping Izzy doesn’t say nothing. I don’t feel like painting targets on myself day one.”
Family take over
Big Brother typically has 16 houseguests, but in a twist for this season, the show added a 17th cast member, which happened to be Cirie Fields.
In another twist, she is the mother of fellow houseguest Jared Fields.
Cirie made her debut on the show at the end of the season’s premiere episode.
Smile you're on camera
In the Big Brother house, there are over 80 HD cameras and 100 microphones, which record contestants’ every move during all hours of the day.
Contestants do not have contact with the outside world, according to CBS.
Cooking directions for slop
To make your own slop, first bring 12 cups of water to a boil and add the steel-cut oats.
Cook for about 25-30 minutes while stirring constantly to stop the oats from getting stuck to the pan.
Once the oats are cooked, the other ingredients are simply added and combined.
Ingredients you need to make slop
To make the slop at home, you will need 3.5 cups of uncooked steel-cut oats.
The recipe also requires 3/4 cup, plus two tablespoons of unflavored whey protein powder.
A key ingredient is also the half cup of unflavored soy protein.
In order to make sure the contestants get their daily nutrients, the recipe also asks for four teaspoons of vitamin and mineral powder.

More on Sound Stage 18
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Talk, Will & Grace, and That 70’s Show were also filmed at Radford.
Year after year, Sound Stage 18 is redesigned to fit the theme of that season’s BB USA.

All about the Big Brother house
The Big Brother USA house is actually Sound Stage 18 in the CBS Studios Center.
Also known as the Radford Studio Center, BB USA’s filming studio is located in the Studio City district of Los Angeles.
In May 1928, Radford Studio Center was founded by silent film producer Mack Sennett.
In addition to BB USA, the studio has served as a production location for several other hit shows.
How the Pressure Cooker works
The Pressure Cooker is an iconic Big Brother endurance competition.
During the Pressure Cooker competition, the houseguests are all put in a glass box where they each have to hold down a button.
The last person to take their finger off the buzzer wins.
You are cooked
The longest endurance competition in Big Brother history took 14 hours and 37 minutes.
The historic competition, also known as the Pressure Cooker, took place during season six, and contestants were required to hold down a button to remain in the game.
The Pressure Cooker competition returned earlier this season for the first time since season six.
All about ZingBot
The ZingBot 9000 appears once every season, usually around the halfway point.
The robot enters the house for one week and delivers one-liner insults to the houseguests.
The robot also hosts the Power of Veto competition.
Jag Bains makes history
Jag Bains is the first Sikh houseguest to join Big Brother.
This isn’t something he takes lightly, telling Parade that he’s proud to represent his community.
“Representing my Sikh community is so important to me,” he said. “I wear a turban. This is how I represent myself every day. So to come to the show, be who I am, represent not only myself, but my family, my people, my community, it means the world to me.”
He echoed the sentiment on Instagram, writing: “As the first-ever Sikh on the show, I feel truly honored, humbled, and blessed. I’m deeply grateful for this opportunity to represent my community and share my story with the world.”
Cast paychecks revealed
Big Brother houseguests do get paid for appearing on the show.
The amount they earn at the end of the show depends on how long they stay in the game.
Houseguests get paid $1k each week they stay in the house, according to Reel Rundown – so the longer they survive, the more each contestant gets paid.
Grand prize revealed
The winner of the top two prizes does not receive the weekly stipend but instead is awarded their allotted sum of money.
The grand prize winner receives $750k, the runner-up gets $75k, and America’s favorite player gets $50k.
There are other incentives during the houseguests’ stay as well to boost their income with the grand prize representing the golden jackpot.

Big Brother has hosted two complete All-Stars seasons and other seasons where only a few returning houseguests came back.
The last All-Stars season was Season 22, which aired in 2020.
The season was postponed due to Covid-19.
Season 16 runner-up, Cody Calafiore, took home the win in the last All-Stars season.
