Housemate ‘raped live on Brazilian Big Brother’

Detectives interviewed her for three hours inside the contestants’ house and
then took her away for a rape examination. A police spokeswoman in Brazil
confirmed that an investigation had been opened into the allegations.

Echaniz has not been arrested or charged with any crime but was removed from
the programme by producers for “gravely inadequate” behaviour.

The show’s presenter, Pedro Bial, told viewers: “Big Brother examined his
behaviour without jumping to conclusions and with the utmost care. The
images showed a breach of the rules of the programme.”

Amin remains on the show whose most recent series only began last week. It
averages around 8 million viewers per episode and attracted 154 million
votes for last year’s final – around 50 million more than were cast in
Brazil’s 2010 presidential election.

The Brazilian show is produced by Endemol, a Netherlands-based television
company that was also responsible for the British version. The company has
often been criticised for ‘baiting’ its contestants with alcohol and
thrusting them into situations seemingly designed to cause conflict.

A spokeswoman for the company did not immediately return requests for comment.
