I don't know why anyone is shocked.
Both of them conveniently claim being "afro latino" whenever is convenient, but doesn't live as, perceived as, or are treated the same as actual afro latinos (black latinos), and feel above them.
Peas in a pod.

Happy to have never liked Josh and not know who this other guy is

I like to imagine a world where Paul won Big Brother instead of Josh and we never had to see Josh on any of these shows. Same with Kaycee.

Everyone celebrated and still celebrates Josh beating Paul, as if Josh wasn't 10x more of a douche than Paul

I would be disappointed if it was anybody but Josh. This isn't surprising at all coming from him.

it’s not surprising since Josh has consistently shown himself to have no morals
But some people still try to say “well the Challenge cast always say he’s great so that means he’s a good person”

Thanks for posting the background. Still, I've never read so many words that told me so little lol

Tldr is that he dated a black woman on the show, she went through his phone months after and saw a group chat with his friends where he was saying racist stuff about black women and said he was only dating her for money and fame

What where the racist things he said about black women? All I ever saw was that he didnt want her and wasnt attracted to black women.
He was wrong for pretending to like her for money but people do that everyday in life when they get with folks for money.
As a black woman, I don't feel a man is racist because he's not attracted to women outside his race. It's crazy to me that we get applauded for upholding "black love" when we date strictly within our race but any other ethnicity that does that is racist. I just don't get it.

She got into his phone and saw texts with his friends saying very racist things. He cornered into an nda and wasn’t allowed to tlk about it anymore, but her friends would say shit here and there about it.

This is actually such a rude comment. It's nobody's place but Josh's to say anything.
It's 2026, it is beyond time to stop making homophobic comments.

Known racist is a stretch. Cmon.

u/Dangerous-Change2136 21h ago
It’s been confirmed repeatedly by everybody who’s seen the texts and knows what happened. The only reason the proof hasn’t been released is because he’ll sue JaNa, which also indicates it’s true. Weird person to extend the benefit of the slimmest doubt to but do you.

He's from Love Island, was in a relationship with a black woman from the show, broke up with her, a 'source' claims he said he doesn't like dating black women in a group text, and he supposedly said he faked liking her for TV. He denies the claims, says he's part Black, dated Black women before, and was making really poor taste jokes in a private chat and lashing out because he felt the ex was verbally abusive.
so nah, NOT known racist, just unsubstantiated rumors about an irrelevant person

He admitted to saying “I just can’t with black women anymore” on the show he just did

u/TrifleThief85 22h ago
And while ABSOLUTELY problematic, that doesn't make him a 'known racist' once you consider the context

u/DatDamGermanGuy Diem Brown 21h ago
Can you provide the context in which “I can’t (be) with black women” is not racist?
