GEORDIE Shore is at the centre of a race storm after it is said a cast member
was recorded as saying: “I hate n*****s.”
Sophie Kasaei has been kicked off the MTV show after allegedly making the
comment on camera.
The incident occurred last week as the reality TV star and her cast mates
filmed scenes for the seventh and latest series.
A source said: “Apparently Sophie was caught using the n-word.
“The show bosses were made aware of what she is alleged to have said and they
kicked her off the programme. She is devastated.”
The former call centre worker was immediately barred from the show — made by
production company Lime Pictures — pending an investigation.
An MTV spokesman said: “After an incident last week, Sophie Kasaei was removed
from Geordie Shore pending further investigation into alleged offensive
behaviour.
“MTV and Lime Pictures have now taken the decision that it is inappropriate
for Sophie to return to the show.
“We will be reiterating to the remaining cast members that offensive behaviour
will not be tolerated.”
The race row comes just days after Sophie’s housemates Vicky
Pattison and Holly Hagan spent a night in the cells after being arrested
following a nightclub fracas in Newcastle. The shocking scenes at
Florita’s bar last Wednesday left an 18-year-old with facial injuries after
she was smacked in the face with a shoe.
The pair, who both deny any wrongdoing, were released on police bail.
Last month the show’s Gaz Beadle was arrested and cautioned after a man
claimed he was assaulted at a nightclub in Penrith, Cumbria.
Gaz allegedly struck out after a glass was hurled during a row.
The sixth series of Geordie Shore — which features the gang partying in
Australia — started on Tuesday.
