'Big Brother' Season 25 star Luke Valentine eliminated for using N-word

In a shocking twist, Luke has shattered the 'Big Brother' code by using a racial slur. As a result, he's been swiftly ousted from the house, sending shock waves through the contestants.

The upcoming Thursday episode holds the answers to this dramatic departure, making it an episode you won't want to miss. While in the house he used the N-word despite being in the presence of a Black person.

In a widely circulated video, Luke can be seen using a racial slur to end a sentence. He said, "We were in the f*****g cheese room." Following this, Luke's expression changes, and he revises the sentence to end with "dude."

After fellow contestants Jared Fields, Cory Wurtenberger, and Hisam Goueli react with disapproving looks, he attempts to explain that he intended to say "narwhal," which he mispronounces as "narwhale." However, his explanation fails to gain acceptance. CBS has announced that Valentine's absence from the cheese room incident will be addressed in the upcoming Thursday episode.
