Celebrity Big Brother fans furious as Stacy Francis makes ‘homophobic comment’ about Austin Armacost

CELEBRITY Big Brother’s Stacy Francis has been slammed by viewers for making a “homophobic” comment.

The X Factor USA star referred to Austin Armacost as “the gay boy” as the housemates discussed sleeping arrangements and bed sharing.

Stacy was discussing Ray J’s sleeping arrangements with Coleen Nolan, James Jordan and James Cosmo after the rapper stated he didn't want to share a bed with Brandon Block.

She stated: “So [Ray j] didn’t want to sleep with Brandon? But he will sleep with a gay boy? The boy that wants to… the gay boy.

“Isn’t Austin gay? So [Ray J] okay with that?”

As her fellow housemates declared they’d have no problem sharing a bed with a gay housemate, Stacy stated she was “being sarcastic.”

She added: “Everyone is so serious, oh my god.”

Her comments didn’t go unnoticed by angry viewers on social media.

One viewer tweeted: “Lmao Stacy tryna cover her homophobia by saying it's 'sarcasm' hm okay boo.”

Another raged: “We just gonna ignore that homophobic comment Stacy made and tried to pass as sarcasm?.”
