Chima's Exclusive Interview with the Examiner Today, Chima Simone sat down and composed an email for the Big Brother Examiner. Below you'll find a transcript. You will find that Chima's portrayal of the events is somewhat different then what CBS is pushing out there for the audience. There are questions yet to be answered, but this makes for some interesting reading. Hi Thomas. Yes, I did in fact quit the show, although there are reports on EW from CBS to the contrary. Big Brother would like everyone to believe I was kicked off for not following the rules, but I went to the producers repeatedly over the past couple of days wanting to leave....wanting out of that house! As crazy as that house is, the producers NEVER want the world to think or know that we houseguests DO LEAVE when it becomes futile to stay. I lost faith in the show & my ability to remain committed to this game. All of the remaining housemates know I wanted to leave and that is why any conversation concerning me is cut in the live feed because they don't want America to hear the truth about my voluntary departure. Do you really believe that I would be expelled for tossing my microphone when past houseguests have only been kicked off for violence & threats of violence? You know better, as do I. It's better that I left. I did what was best for me in this game and that was to leave. When I chose to play & play hard the power I did earn was completely usurped by a game piece never used before in this game and my HOH reign was rendered useless. I have no regrets. As cliche' as it sounds, until the public is a part of a human pressure cooker, then the judgements should cease. I find it interesting that my personal attacks on Russell have been highlighted, but his attacks on me pushed under a rug. Selective portrayals? I think so. Russell did terrorize the house, especially the women in the house. Why America constantly finds men attacking women okay, yet vilifies the woman defending herself, will always confound me. But what's done is done, now BB fans can find a new woman to hate. I didn't sign up for what I was exposed to & I left gladly. It was the principle of the matter, the $500,000 prize be damned. That's all for now! Take Care... Well, there you have it ladies and gentlemen from the keyboard of the lady herself and straight to you via cut and paste!

BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! If she really wanted to leave days ago, why didn't she just WALK OUT OF THE DOOR!?!?! THAT would have made great television for BB & CBS!

The delusions continue. I actually feel sorry for Chima, she seems so broken.

Someone needs to tell her the coup d'etat was in play in an earlier season and it was not created just to ruin her HOH. She has a huge chip on her shoulder.

Chima is saying that it wasn't USED. She said in the house many times that even Boogie didn't USE it. I guess she forgot that Boogie didn't NEED to use it. She knows there was a Coup D'etat before. She just feels it shouldn't have been USED. Which, of course, is ridiculous.

Chima really shouldn't have been chosen for the show. I got a PTSD feeling from her in some of the things she would say when fighting with the guys. Wasn't her attacker executed this year? If so, that could have stirred shit up in her head that comes out in a combative way. Hope she gets help, 'cause acting a <24> doesn't get one very far.

I know the Examiner calls this an interview -- but when someone makes a statement in a way which allows for no questions to be asked -- it is just given and expected to be accepted -- I don't call that an interview. I call it a press release and give it as much credence as I give to any other press release.

You can just feel her anger and toxic energy oozing out of her. And you just know she's going to milk this for all it's worth.

If that's all that's come out of her so far, I think her grandy and grumpy have persuaded her to sit in a time out (possibly with the assistance of drugs) until such time as she can secure legal advice.

From the website: http://www.realitytea.com/2009/08/16/chima-simone-speaks-out-i-quit-big-brother/ 2 Responses to “Chima Simone Speaks Out – I Quit Big Brother!” By Rebecca on Aug 16, 2009 | Reply She never should have been on the show to begin with too unstable she was not playing the game, she was stating what she wanted, who she wanted evicted and if you didn’t want that too, then she was against you simple as that. I watched as Russell told her Ronnie is going home and she didn’t like that, that was the beginning of the end w/her and Russell and her taunts of terrorist she should be ashamed of herself and she is a journalist??? Pressure cooker, hasn’t she ever seen the show before? The drama, the emotion? Its too bad that she couldn’t see past her own nose, you have to be a watcher and a reader of people and she didn’t do any of that. Now she is spinning who will ever know what really happened, but I am glad that she is gone, and glad that she lost out on half a million bucks. By Leena on Aug 16, 2009 | Reply Bravo to Chima! I’m so glad she put out the real truth behind what really happened. Those who have made her the villian were all too pleased to believe CBS had kicked her off the show, primarily because that’s what they personally wanted CBS to do. To those people who hated Chima, I say get a life for yourselves, and stop judging others (from the sidelines) with so much filth spewing from your mouths. At least she had enough guts and glory to go after her dreams, speak her mind, and go toe-to-to with those who dared to think she wasn’t the beautiful strong woman she knows that she is. To wit: It’s easy to sit behind the anonymity of a computer screen and chastise others rather that do something productive yourselves. There were some things Chima said (which I caught via the live feeds) that I didn’t particularly care for. But you know what folks? So what! I have a great relationship with my neighbors, and sometimes they say things I don’t particularly car for. That doesn’t mean I’m going to petition the city officials to remove them from my neighborhood! Chima will be fine. After reading her email above, she sounds like she has her head on straight and knows exactly what she’s dealing with. I hope that when the dust settles, she lands a wonderful job with or without CBS’ support. I wish her all the best!

Kitty, the houseguests are not necessarily told the whole story because it could upset the "dynamic" in the house. They were told Chima left and BB left it up to them to fill in the blanks.

Leena's comment above... HAHAHAHA! I don't think I ever thought Chima was "beautiful and strong." Scary, definitely! Oh, and Leena? My name is Sue and I live in San Diego. Come over here and I'll say it all to your face, without being anonymous! (BTW, you may want to learn to edit your responses, because I don't know what "particularly car for" means.)

Hmmmm interesting...and also interesting nobody has made any comments on this thread. Her leaving only shows she's a sore loser. The whole point of this game IS that Big Brother can and will do what they want when they want, that is why it's called Big Brother. Also her comment about Russel's protrayal, they DID show his antics in either last Tuesday's or Thursday's episode. Just my 2 cents. lol

It's Deja Vu all over again. I must have read Chima's email 20 times now. LOL And, kinda funny about the comments from where her email is posted. That cracks me up. I wonder if some are her friends? Can't help wondering that based on all the other comments that accompany discussions of Chima's removal from the house.

What a load of BS! I think she is lying, she was kicked off. If she was going to leave on her own, she would have done it earlier. CBS would not dare say she was kicked off if she wasn't. Could mean a law suit. She should just consider herself lucky if they don't show her breakdown and expulsion. And I think that second message was her or a friend or relative. She's a sick girl and should never been allowed on this show.

Saturday night/ Sunday morning Lydia.Kevin and Nat were discussing Chima's departure. Here is how they imagine it went down (dialog taken from jokersupdates): Sun 1:16 AM BBT Around 12:09am Natalie, Lydia, and Kevin were talking about Chima and what happened last night - Kixx They were rehashing how she threw the mic into the Hot Tub. Kevin - And then when they confronted her about it (Producers), I knew that's why she would go home because they would be like you understand that would be 4 thousand dollars and you're going to have to pay for it or something like that. Natalie - Well I'm sure you wouldn't have to pay for it. Lydia - She didn't care Natalie - They were just like "That's 4 grand" and she's like "I don't give a f*ck." Kevin - Yeah Kevin - She was not apologetic at all Natalie - Not apologetic, and then she said "Well I want to go home anyway" so they were like "Okay" Kevin - Well "Send me home", she goes "Send me home" and they were like "Well okay...bye" So, it was probably a mutual desicion. If she didn't abided by the rules she was a goner anyway so she quit.

So it seems she is more proud to be a QUITTER than being evicted for breaking the rules??? I am mad because there would have been so many many more girls ready to play the game and more deserving than her. She was definitely a "BAD" pick from BB producers (meaning I blame them too...

I think that somewhere in the middle lies the truth....Chima probably had asked to leave, as she says, and the many luxuries provided to her through her demands were the result...CBS trying to keep her and placate her. She enjoyed that role, IMO, and only half-heartedly wanted to leave while enjoying the martyr role. It was only when her violation of rules (many, many times) and demands became waaaaay too much for us the viewers and CBS that they said ENOUGH! and booted her.

Archiecat, that sounds like a very reasonable assessment. It did seem like production (including Alison) was bending over backwards to calm the girls down and stop people from walking out. Nothing could appease Chima (and Lydia a close second)and she crossed the line willfully destroying property.

Well, I might be a fool, but I think it went more like this: Chima: You don't know who you're dealing with if you think you can do this to me. BB: Chima, you know what you signed on for. You have to play by the rules. Chima: If you don't do what I say, I will walk right out of here and don't you think I won't. BB: Chima, you are under contract to meet certain requirements and since you don't feel you can do that, you will now be removed from the house. Chime: Fine. I quit. Just supposition, of course.
