Celebrity Big Brother: Is Coolio A Bully?

On last night’s Celebrity Big Brother show we saw Coolio being called to the diary room and spoken to about his behaviour towards his fellow housemates.
For the duration of this years series Coolio has been teasing Michelle about her suspect relationship with former boyband singer, Ben Adams. Anyone watching the show will know that Michelle has not taken well to the ribbing and on occasions has gotten pretty upset and tearful.
Things came to a head a few days ago when Michelle reacted badly to another bout of teasing and spent the night, and the next morning crying. Coolio refused to apologise and when the nomination results were announced he became increasingly loud, shouting at Ulrika that she had to leave his house and mockingly calling Michelle ‘Miss Popular’.
Ulrika callled him a “bully”, and a “vile man” and soon the rapper was summoned to the diary room where he was given a stern talking to by Big Brother.
So do you agree with Ulrika? Is Coolio a bully?
I am in two minds about this one. On one hand Coolio’s behaviour has been uncomfortable to watch over the last few days, he has certainly gotten carried away at times. But I also think that Michelle has over reacted massively, especially during the first week of the show. As Tina told her (and I can’t believe I am agreeing with that minger) if she just ignored Coolio or laughed the banter off, he would go away and find someone else to tease. Michelle is loving playing the role of delicate young girl, but even her soon to be ex-husband thinks its a farce.
So do you think that Coolio is a bully? I’d love to hear your thoughts, so leave your comments below or pop in for a chat on our forum.

How come jade lost everything when she was in big brother, and coolio is such a bully and getting away with it. Sorry guys but jade got punished for nothing, coolio should loose everything and be thrown out asap
I think there’s a diffrince between being blantly rude and a bully and i personally don’t believe coolio is one. It’s like there always has to some type of consperacy or a big brother incident and i don’t see that this time. Coolio is just blantant and rude and some of the things he was saying were true but shouldnt have been said or done in a horrible manor. The stuff about Ben and michelle i’v seen all over the magazine are they aren’t they what’s the diffrence between them and coolio. I highly believe that michelle is being overly sensitive on purpose for sympathy and i found myself cringing and thinking why are you crying. The jade incident and the coolio incident is totally different and if coolio were to go im sure it would be a very boring house.
I think he is a bully and a nasty arrogant person. Yes Michelle should ignore him but when you are in the house 24/7 with no way of getting time on your own it probably gets to you more. Plus just because Coolio says he is playing etc does not make it right he has been told she does not like it so he should stop. He picks on all the girls except his fellow American Latoya, he obviously thinks women are beneath him and should do what he is tells them and fall at his feet, his mouth is foul his behaviour towards women is disgusting and it has gone beyond being entertaining now at times it is difficult to watch. Ulrika seems to be the only woman who stands up to him, Tina is two faced and befriends him then talks about him. Outside if he kept touching Muytah like he does when she asks him not to it would be sexual harrassment, trouble is BB seem to encourage it, they do not learn do they.
I don’t think coolio is a bully at all, in the case of michelle and ben he is only stating the obvious. He is the only housemate to actually have a personality.Ulrika seems to think her word is magically law, while michelle believes that by cry she’ll gain sympathy. Coolio’s remark are not bullying, however they are very blunt and sometime cutting. it is indeed very different to the Jade inncident. If Coolio is thrown out all we will see is an attention seeking michelle followed everywhere by hr faithful talking glass of water Ben.
coolio is no way a bully. I think is the cultural difference, and trust me i’m not racist at all. cus as a black person i thought the whole thing was funny, and he is funny, a bit arrogant but i think that comes with the fame, the money and the age. that said, i think most black peep or people with black background will agree with me when i say is the cultural difference. But again i think coolio need to understand the difference and treat her a little more nice.
Btw i’ve never sat on my sofa to watch big brother since the first season. and the only reason y i’m watching it again is cus of coolio, so once he’s out i’ll be off the sofa lol

Who gives a toss – Celebs don’t live in the real world, so why should real issues bother them. The only ‘normal’ one in there is Terry Christian (and he spends most of his time in the big ashtray). I think they all should be given weapons – “If they want to kill each other, I’m filming it!” – Bill Hicks
ohhhhhhhh come on michelle you are not the ditzy with all that crying i saw you in the other reality show you did totally scott lee and you wernt no pussy cry baby then,its a big game plan to get people to keep her in, and whats this crap about her being worried about what her bloke thinks………..yeah rite if he thinks somethings going on then thier relationship is a joke
I dont think he is a bully at all but he does upset the housemates quite alot. But since him and michelle made up he hasnt been as bad as he was at the start. i reli think he could win! hes halarious! ! ! Little man 2 win! ! !
I am not talkng about the Michelle and Ben thing. Surely you cannot think it is okay for Coolio to keep sexually harrassing Mutya, she has told him to stop touching her, saying he wants to **** her, lay his head on her thighs etc and he continues. Are you really saying that is okay, cool and entertaining if so it is sad that people have so little respect for others feelings.
I never watch BB but caught it when they were first in and were getting on and I thought that it was going to be interesting, especially hearing stuff about MJ from La Toya. After a while it got boring and I decided not to watch it. Just human nature. When I heard about Coolio I have been watching it ever since and even followed the blogs on the internet. BB was going downhill until the Jade thing. Now we have Coolio and I am sure the ratings will be going through the roof. Human nature, lets face it you cannot sell papers with good stories.BB is just giving what we want. It is like watching a car crash but still we watch. Coolio is spot on even if he is a bit OTT but that is for BB to sort out. Michelle, I do not buy her line about being sweet and innocent. Hate hypocrisy.
