ON FRIDAY EVENING, Rodrigo was removed from the Celebrity Big Brother compound.
Source: Persona StarsAt the time, no reason was given but now a source told The Sun Online:
Rodrigo behaved seriously inappropriately inside the house. It came to the attention of producers who watched the footage back. After a discussion they decided the only course of action would be to remove him from the house.
Rodrigo's actions have said to be so inappropriate that the producers of CBB have decided against the scenes being shown.

If the reason #rodrigoalves was kicked out is too shocking to be shown on tv it can still be explained, we are capable of understanding something without having to watch it! #cbb The public should be told #CelebrityBigBrother

Others called for a boycott.
I think we should all boycott #CBB until they show us why #RodrigoAlves was evicted. You can't call a show "The Eye Of The Storm" and not show an actual storm. Controversy is this shows bread and butter and it makes me sick that racism was acceptable to show but not this!

Some felt the show was inauthentic for not showing the truth.
I thought the whole point of #CelebrityBigBrother was that it was warts and all television. If they aren't going to at least explain why #rodrigoalves was kicked out, I am not going to bother watching either show anymore. I was sure #Rylan would be to tell us on #BBBOTS #CBB

People are feeling annoyed, as Celebrity Big Brother had already shown Rodrigo engaging in inappropriate behaviour.
Rodrigo was shown using the N-word, an explicit racial slur directed at those who have dark/black skin. He used the word twice on his first night in the compound.
Rodrigo used the derogatory term in the context of describing the type of sexual partner he preferred.
Ofcom received over 1,000 complaints after.
So you showed him saying the N word....but won't show the reason why he's been ejected!? Aye that makes sense!!! #rodrigoalves #CBBRodrigo #CBB #CBBUK #CelebrityBigBrother

Rodrigo denies he was kicked off the show:
I was not coping very well to be without my mobile phone and not being in contact with my family and friends.
After Natalie left I felt very upset because she was the life and soul in the house and got very much misunderstood. All I wanted out of the show was to have fun and to show to the UK that I’m a nice and fun person.

After a further incident, Rodrigo has been removed from the Big Brother house and will not be returning.
