Celebrity Big Brother viewers clash over Stephen Bear as he leaves Renee Graziano in tears
Reality star has become the housemate viewers love to hate after clashing with the Mob Wives personality again
CELEBRITY Big Brother viewers have clashed over Stephen Bear after he left housemate Renee Graziano in tears.
The star's reached to loggerheads once again on Sunday night's show during the Christmas task after the former Ex on the Beach star grabbed Marnie Simpson in a bid to stop her taking part in a challenge.
While the Geordie Shore beauty took it in good humour, the Mob Wives star grew particularly angry with Bear, when he called her an "angry elf", the 47-year-old unleashed her fury.
She shouted: "I’m not an angry elf I’m a disgusted elf, as you just take advantage of anyone and everyone and it’s so disappointing.
"You are just a complete f***ing a**hole that is it and I’m sorry but I cannot be bothered with any more making up."
As the 26-year-old sniggered as Renee went up to him, she continued: "I don’t give a f*** if I’m dramatic and I don’t give a f*** if you laugh at me coz let me tell you something, if you were in f***ing America you wouldn’t be laughing because your jaw would be on the back of your head."
As she was called to the diary room to cool off she said: "You’ve abused everybody."
Once in the safety of the Big Brother chair, Renee broke down in tears, turning her back to the camera so viewers wouldn't see her cry.
The altercation caused a stir among viewers, with some siding with Renee while others insisting Bear was just having fun and the American needed to chill out.
One fan of Bear wrote: "Bear is just a trouble making wind up that takes nothing seriously – Renee needs to realise hes not gonna stop and stop getting so emosh #cbb" while another added: "I feel so so sorry for @stephen-bear in that house with them lot! Having a play fight with marnie and is told he assaulted her, done! #CBB."
However others were not taking the star's behaviour so lightly with one viewer tweeting: "Bear is that bully at school and worryingly ppl on Facebook are giving excuses saying its funny. But he IS spooling the game[sic]" while another tweeted the show directly to say: "Why do you continue to let bear abuse and bully others? @bbuk #cbb answer your viewers".
At the other end of the scale, a fellow fan of the show tweeted that Bear should win for his antics, writing: "#cbb @stephen_bear He’s gotto win this, am absolutely glued to his “pantomime behaviour’ :)[sic]" and another added: "Bear is making me laugh sorry not sorry #cbb".
