We know why they call it “the boob tube,” and it does not involve cleavage.
Noted Big Brother boob JC Mounduix found himself at the center of yet another controversy this week after cameras caught him touching sleeping fellow houseguest Tyler Crispen.
The August 28th episode of the show contained an awkward scene in which JC slid in bed next to the sleeping Tyler. He then began rubbing Tyler’s arm, face and chest before kissing his armpit.
The next day, Tyler complained to contestant Kaycee Clark that he slept poorly the night before thanks to JC’s advances.

Twitter predictably exploded during the episode, with viewers wondering if JC’s actions constituted sexual assault, or if castmate reactions would have been different if JC had done the same to a woman.
Jc inappropriately touching Tyler is NOT okay.
It’s happened multiple times and somehow it still continues to happen. @CBSBigBrother needs to do something about it! #bb20— Syd | Team Angela #BB20 (@rockstae9670) August 29, 2018
IMO no one has a right to kiss another person's body while they sleep without their permission. JC should be talked to about this. And Tyler should be shown the footage. Imagine if it were a female/straight male. People would be outraged #bb20 pic.twitter.com/GJ2hFfQqOl

JC has sparked a number of controversies on the show this season. In the past, he told Kaycee to “open up her vagina” while wielding an ice cream scoop. He also sparked backlash after using the “N-word” with a fellow contestant, and for discounting the #MeToo movement. CBS released a statement to Us Weekly claiming it warned the contestants over their behavior.
Though CBS appears to protest JC’s conduct, we have a feeling they’re loving the spike in ratings.

No doubt Tyler is a hottie, but G.B. (aka Gay Boy, aka JC) needs to play the game and keep his hands and his kisses to himself. Rules are rules.
Having said that, Tyler’s not using the best heterosexual option he’s got.
Next time he’s facing the octopus, he should immediately bloody-up JC’s nose. One quick, solid punch to the face should put a stop to it.

lol. keep kissing those armpits, baby. keep making those kissing police foam with fury.

Well unwanted touching can be considered sexual assault, but if the Tyler guy doesn’t care then it’s not. He complained about it, but didn’t seem terribly upset about it, just that he doesn’t like it.

Yes it is sexual assault which is a crime.
DuMaurier
In legal classes I took years ago this was classified as ‘battery’, defined (in the jurisdiction where I live) as any ‘offensive or unwanted touching’. The professor deliberately used the example of a drunk guy putting his hand on your shoulder in a bar after you’ve asked him not to. The point was twofold; to get across how strict and uncompromising the law is in its text; AND to get across that there are situations which technically cross the legal line that people may decide they can handle themselves without taking the police away from catching drunk drivers and rapists.

Oh, I remember the days when I could pretend to be asleep and someone would climb into bed with me and start rubbing me and kissing my armpits. Naturally, I would stay still, not make a fuss about and then pretend I was asleep the whole time.
This other guy didn’t seem to mind too much since he let it happen and only mentioned he didn’t sleep well when he realized it had been recorded…
Dawson
Yet these same people didn’t have an issue when he was asleep a couple of months ago and a FEMALE gave him a hand job while he was asleep. Just do a goggle search to check this out. So straight is o k but not gay?
Donston
Well, women are always going to be given more benefit of the doubt in these situations and understandable so. And there’s a good chance some legit flirting went on between the two beforehand. Honestly, men just need to be more careful with this kind of stuff. It is what it is. And some gay-identifying men really need to stop coming off so thirsty whenever they are around halfway decent looking straight-identifying men. Then again, if he was more demure and respectful he wouldn’t have been cast on a reality TV show to be begin with. And the dude probably wouldn’t have had any issue at all and wouldn’t have even mentioned it if he didn’t know it was going to be seen by other people.

It’s not an issue of straight or gay. If the guy didn’t like what the female did, he could sue her for sexual assault borderline rape and the entire production for letting it happen without stopping her.
But let’s face it, the guy most likely knew what’s going on and was talked to in advance. This is reality TV. It’s as fake as a 3 dollar bill.
Now whether or not he is okay with a female but not a gay guy, well, that’s sort of his choice to decide who allows to touch what part of his body. If that’s what he wants? That’s his right.
Donston
Apparently he didn’t stop the dude either and showed no signs of discomfort. Ultimately, this is a silly reality show where it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s staged and what’s done for attention, and I don’t watch it. So, I refuse to engage beyond the basic level.
Terrycloth
Video of dosent load unfortunately…
paul dorian lord fredine
see what? the video is so dark all you see is a bunch of lumps in bed and can’t tell which is which, who’s who (disclaimer: don’t watch the the show, don’t care either way). besides, when will people finally realize THIS SHIT IS ALL STAGED!!! for dramatic effect. and unless one is pass out drunk or drugged who could sleep through something like that. more like pretend, lay back and enjoy then whine in the morning.
gaimingfoxer
What?!? Are you claiming that reality tv isn’t really real?!? Mind Blown!

It’s apparent the folks causing such a stink have not been watching the show. Tyler and JC have been great companions since the beginning of the show, something like 2 months ago. They almost always sleep together.
Just last night they were still hanging out and Tyler was even giving JC a backrub. It’s a crazy situation when folks are locked together with nothing to do. Unwanted touching is certainly wrong, not trying to defend that, but not every touch is a sexual assault. Lots of things to take into consideration in cases such as these.
Show production says both sides call “no harm, no fowl”. But it’s an easy situation to sensationalize and for folks to jump on a band wagon and point and finger and scream GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY. I do think many folks get real pleasure in being able to do that. Probably more than JC did. Just my opinion.
MaxTaste
This stuff is all fake and simply designed to get attention.
dwick
if this is true, it’s rape and he needs to be kicked off the show and arrested
ShowMeGuy
Seriously? A kiss on arm equals RAPE? Are your initials SJW?
Brexit
Sorry dwick but under California Penal Code § 261 (as does every form of penal code I’ve ever read) “rape” involves sexual intercourse. Whilst fondling, groping, kissing etc. may amount to sexual assault, it would not amount to rape.
galileo
Dear Brexit, read the Swedish ‘penal code’ definition then and broaden your thinking.
kashka333
Why would I WANT to watch the sexual assault of another person??!! Seriously this post/headline are pandering to the sickening curiosity of the least of us. REPRESENT us better!
Greg
The people who watch the live feeds are way too involved in what goes on. Everybody has a different understanding of what sexual assault is. If Tyler was bothered by it, he shouldn’t sleep in the same bed with JC or allow JC to sleep with him. It’s up to Tyler to tell JC to stop it if he doesn’t like it. It’s not up to the mother hens watching them while they sleep. They’re ready to pounce on JC, but what about them watching the houseguests while they sleep? That in itself is creepy. Other people need to calm down. One person was calling it rape. The twitter people wanted JC removed from the game. The viewers like to act like they have a say in what goes on. So they blow up Twitter. Twitter is the worst. Also, nowadays, if someone gets offended by something, right away they want the person fired or removed from the game because they’re offended. Too bad if you’re offended. Get over it. I can’t stand when someone uses a comparison to make their point as if it means something. Like, if it was a man touching a woman without her consent, blah, blah, blah. Well that’s not the case here. Tyler is a grown man who can take care of himself.
Bob Scardino
Like this wasn’t totally planned.
seaguy
JC smelled that Tyler had BO and was just cleaning his armpit so it didn’t smell.
LilMesican
When a man slides over to your side of the bed and does some kissy-kissy touchy-touchy, you can feel it. And if it feels good, you let it go a bit longer.
nitejonboy
Silly boy…doesn’t he know armpits aren’t for kissing…they’re for making fart noises!!
duke4172
JC needs to go! Sexual harrasment is wrong and this was not the firdt offense! JC is a sexual deviant who should have alreafy been evicted before he had a chance to go to jury! He claims HE made all of the moves in the house to get people eviceted he has not done a damn thing but run his miget mouth!
metesgui
Really fun
