YouTube co-star Mazzi Maz: Sam Pepper 'has gone too far'

He was an irritating little prick in the BB house, it would seem nothing has changed

I don't remember him at all.  (Lucky old me, eh?)

Thanks, Velvet

I like how Mazzi Maz is trying to pass 100% of the blame when it says up there that he made the video with Sam thinking he wouldn't make it public.... Hmmm that's OK then Mazzi Maz... I can't stand Sam Pepper, I've stumbled across a few of his videos at times and i just don't get his following he's a muppet!

But i really can't stand a rat that jumps ship on a mate at the first sign of trouble that makes him worse than Sam imo

between Josie and JJ spending the entire 3 months in bed and then the final couple of weeks in walks the prat that is Pepper...I lost the will to live, I couldn't stand him and not watched anything with his mug on since he disappeared into obscurity for me after BB  

Yes, yes, yes to all. 

Ditto

Both of them are Arrrrses. 

Until recently, I never understood how people made money out of YouTube, but my best mates eldest is apparently making a nice living for a 21 yr old, but not with this kind of stuff, believe it or not by making Xbox or ps4 or whatever gaming videos *I'm on the iPad so I cannot find the WHAT IS THIS NONSENSE emot*

We in Corin's Crib always reckoned the Pepper was an odious little oik!

I know what you mean: neither is coming out of this at all well.

I have to say though that the word that's leaping out at me here is "immature". I mean: Mazzi Maz is 20, and Sam's 25, but reading this you'd think they were both still at school. Key line for me:

The 20-year-old says: "I woke up this morning and wondered if my mum wants to talk to his mum to see if we should still be friends."

Wow. Just - wow...

I had given up watching BB11 before Sam Pepper entered so don’t have an opinion of him as a housemate. What I was more aware of was his post-BB twitter activity and huge following – he was something a social media phenomenon.

But even back in 2011 wasn’t he perceived as an unscrupulous character with methods of earning money directly from his devoted fans?

I liked him - he reminded me of the Denis Pennis (see YouTube) of Big Brother always on the wind up and he didn't like the Josie and JJ Show - neither did I.

In fact, I couldn't stand the Josie and JJ show.  Couldn't stand Josie, in particular, and he was a complete prick.  Josie did my head in bringing every conversation back to the showmance of her and that knuckle dragging misogynist.  How annoying was her favourite platitude, "It is what it is, it isn't what it isn't"?

I agree with all you say about JJ, but the problem was that Sam Pepper was a misogynistic pr!ck too. However he seemed to largely get away with it because (a) as you say, a lot of viewers were fed up with the "JJJ show", and wanted to see the pair brought down a peg, and (b) he looked and acted a lot younger than he really was.

We saw a similar thing with Sam Evans in BB14: although not as bad as Sam Pepper, he still got away with some dreadfully sexist comments and "humour" because many viewers mistakenly treated him as a teenager instead of an adult in his mid-20s.

The fact is that some of Sam Pepper's behaviour towards Josie was disgusting and way beyond acceptable boundaries, and in an earlier series would probably have got him kicked out (mind you, the same could be said for the fake monk Dave's treatment of Sam, but that's another story). As it was, however, BB had put him in pretty much with the intention of winding Josie and JJ up, so he got a lot of leeway...

There's been a lot of ongoing coverage of this story on DS, but I've not been updating here because there are are far too many "allegedly"s flying around for my liking.

However, it all went mainstream today. C4 News covered the story, and the BBC have confirmed that Sam Pepper was investigated by the LAPD back in July in relation to a "sexual offence", but charges were not filed as the alleged victim refused to testify (C4 said "lack of evidence").
