Celebrity Big Brother’s Zeze Millz reveals the vile racial slur she was called when she was younger
CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Zeze Millz revealed the vile racial slur she was called when she was younger.
The 34-year-old opened up to West End’s Marisha Wallace in a candid conversation.
In tonight’s episode, Zeze and Marisha were lounging when Zeze talked about the changing beauty standards and how she was previously subjected to a racial slur because of a particular feature she had.
Zeze told Marisha: “There’s always been that discussion about, even, big lips.
“I got called duck lips in school, they called me duck lips,” to which Marisha replied: “You have great lips.”
Marisha further commented: “Now it looks like you,” and Zeze concluded: “got my lips done.”
Marisha remarked: “People would be like, you got filler.”
Zeze added: “We’ve always had big lips.”
They continued to talk about how beauty standards have evolved and how they embraced trendy aesthetics like long nails and sleek hair before they became popular.
Zeze said: “There’s that discussion about the sleek girl aesthetic but black girls have been slicking their hair back for days.
Marisha said: “Even the nails, we always had long nails,” to which Zeze said: “If you had long nails back in the day it was (seen as) ghetto.”
Zeze is a TV presenter and a social media personality.
The star came into prominence in the early 2010s as the presenter of her own YouTube show The Zeze Millz Show.
In a surprising twist on Monday’s episode, Big Brother asked Sharon Osbourne to choose one vulnerable housemate to save from eviction and switch them with another.
Sharon chose to save Zeze and swapped her with Fern Britton, putting Fern up for the public vote alongside Louis Walsh and Lauren Simon.
In her speech, Sharon said: “I think Zeze is fiery but quite vulnerable – I think a lot of it is for show. She reminds me of somebody I love.”
Lauren was ultimately evicted in last night’s episode.
