Viewer’s opinion on Big brother Saturday’s drama
November 1st 2007 -

[Richard and his mistress Tatiana]...chinny
One of our readers, Eric recently sent a mail discussing The saturday events he claimed he initially posted it on a BBA thread but it was removed …here is what he had to say:
At the risk of being shot down, sworn at and abused by the die hard Richard fans who believe that no matter what their boy does he can do no wrong I will post this thread.
In the same way that some forumist have the right to say what they want and go to the extent of blaming Ricki, alcohol and whatever they will next concoct as an excuse I have the right to post this thread and be heard.
Throw all the insults you like – I will not be silenced.
It’s this simple
If BB truly believed that nothing untoward happened on Saturday then why were the HM offered to see a psychiatrist? The HM only apologized for over indulgence and nothing more. Since when does someone need to see a psychiatrist after excessive drinking.
BB is rated 16NL and in their statement they mention
this and that parental control can and should be used.
What transpired on Saturday Afternoon was most
definitely not 16NL but rather 18SNL and one can almost
add violence to that depending on your viewpoint. The
producers could see what was happening however they
continued to show the live footage. This is an
indication that they were more interested in their
ratings and gaining further viewers as well as votes in
the final weeks of the show. The producers only chose to
remove the cameras from the bedroom and focus on an
empty garden once all events had transpired and the
paramedics were brought in.
Richard has full recollection of what happened on
Saturday because on Tuesday he threatened to finger
Tatiana and Ofunneka during an argument. Someone would
not make a statement like this out of the blue in an
argument without making reference to a previous event.
More proof that Richard remembers is that he has full recollection of events as they transpired before and shortly after the event. He even recalls the paramedics entering the room and asking the one paramedic to kiss him on the cheek. Richard was also drunk as he also passed out in the diary room however due to the fact that he does remember in detail what transpired one has to conclude that he was in control of his actions.
If Ofunneka does remember what happened, then she is not bringing it out in the open yet. One must remember that they are isolated in the house and have no idea what the viewers see or think. It would be a big risk at this late stage of the game, and in the final race to win $100 000, to say anything as this could jeopardise her chances of winning especially knowing that Richard has survived so many evictions. This would also destroy Tatiana with whom she is friends. Bringing it out in the open would be going against both Richard and Tatiana.
The question now has to be asked that if she does indeed remember does that make her consenting. The answer is simple. Would she have done or allowed this selfish act to be done had she not been intoxicated especially with Tatiana lying on the bed next to Richard and herself. NO. Therefore she was not consenting.
Alcohol is sometimes used as an excuse for unacceptable behavior. When a man sexually assaults an acquaintance, he is seen as less responsible for his actions if he was drunk. Our societal double standard, however, results in the woman being seen as “to blame” for the assault if she was intoxicated. In addition, victims who were drinking when they were sexually assaulted tend to have more feelings of self-blame. It is important to remember that no one deserves to be sexually assaulted. Choosing to drink alcohol should not be equated with choosing to be sexually assaulted.
According to law, a person who is unconscious (passed out), or incapacitated, whether from alcohol, drugs, or illness, cannot give consent to sex. Therefore, if sexual contact occurs, it is sexual assault. When there is any uncertainty about your partner’s ability to give consent, it is wise to wait for another time. To engage in sexual activity with someone who is under the influence of alcohol or drugs simply is against the law.
Debbie Harrison, director of KZN R ape Crisis, was aghast when she heard of the programme’s content. She is quoted as saying “If Bezuidenhout penetrated Malokwu with his fingers, as is alleged, then according to the new clauses contained in the Criminal Law Amendment Bill, it is an act of r ape, rather than sexual assault. The Bill says that if the woman is unable to consent to a sexual act, it constitutes ra pe” www.tonight.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=4107339Richard’s fans won’t be happy about this Eric!!!
