"Big Brother" 20 contestant JC Mounduix is coming under fire this week after using a racial slur when speaking to other houseguests that was caught on the show's 24/7 live feeds, according to a report from Us Weekly and other report from TMZ.
The incident took place Tuesday while Mounduix, an openly gay dancer residing in West Hollywood, was speaking with fellow contestant Bayleigh Dayton, a 25-year-old flight attendant. During their conversation, Mounduix and Dayton discussed his height - Mounduix stands at 4-foot-8-inches tall. Dayton asked if he identifies if he's a dwarf.
"I'm just a short guy. Literally, like, I even went to a doctor," he reportedly started to say before Dayton caught him off.
"OK, let me ask you this: Is there a difference between a midget and a dwarf?" she asked.
Mounduix tried to explain "midget" is a pejorative term, linking the word to other slurs. He said it's similar to saying "gay," and "faggot" or like the n-word and "black."
Dayton, who is black, was visibly upset but Mounduix saying the racial slur,
