A current contestant on Fox’s MasterChefreality program is in hot water for tweeting inflammatory remarks about black people.A reporter for the Philadelphia Daily Newsunearthed the two now-deleted tweets showingMasterChef contestant Krissi Biasiellomaking some pretty derogatory comments last year.
“[W]hy do the [Philadelphia] 76ers keep coming up in my who to follow,” she asked in the first tweet from 2012. “i HATE basketball. NBA = @!$%#s Bouncing Around,” she explained, punctuated with a “#thatsracist” hashtag. [Tweet image below edited by Daily News reporter.]In another tweet from July 2012, Biasiello wrote: “Better make sure you’re on top when sleeping with a black guy … Otherwise it’s probably rape.” The tweet links to what seems to be a ChaCha poll on whether you prefer to be on the “top” or “bottom” during sex.
someone should have asked her why she felt the need to say those things? those that make derogatory statements like that obviously feel safe from retribution or are dumb as a bag of hair, tweet really and how many millions frequent that sight, does she believe them all to be of questionable character like herself?
Biasiello is a 34-year-old paralegal based out of Philadelphia. She is currently placed within the top 11 contestants on this fourth season of MasterChef, a competitive cooking reality program co-hosted by Gordon Ramsay.Following Molly Eichel’s Daily News report, Biasiello has deleted her account; but her officialMasterChef account remains active.
wonder if she thought the notoriety if her racist rhetoric would move her out of 4th place? she should be moved out of contention.
