However, the announcement came after a video of housemate Primo Alterado venting to fellow housemate Robbie Jaworski circulated online.
In the viral clip, Primo expressed his frustration over his interactions with some of his fellow housemates, particularly Anthony Constantino, who allegedly called him “Dookie” or “Duke.”
The term “Dookie” is a slang word referring to feces or excrement and is also used figuratively to describe something unpleasant or worthless. The exchange drew reactions from viewers, with some expressing concern over the way Primo was being treated inside the house.
