Kamu Kirk used his Kamu Kirk Big Brother interview to push back on the backlash from his eviction, saying he was not trying to offend any community with his drag-related comment. He also said he wants to keep things civil with Jason De Puy and hopes to hug it out on finale night.
“I was not trying to offend any community,” Kirk said, addressing the line “Miss me with the drag stuff” that drew criticism from some Big Brother 28 fans. He said he loves Jason and had a really good relationship with him during the first two-and-a-half weeks of the game.
Jason De Puy and the tea party
During the first two-and-a-half weeks of Big Brother, Kirk said the relationship with Jason was strong enough that the later blowup did not come out of nowhere. While Head of Household, he was responsible for the tea party that exposed Jason De Puy’s game, a move that turned a house dynamic into a public argument after the eviction.
That matters because the comment landed in a context where Kirk was already talking about strategy, alliances, and who was being targeted. He said, “I was the one that wanted to include Devens and Dee into the Wolf Pack alliance with Yash and myself,” and added, “I also tried to include Dee in that, and Taylor was hesitant to do that.”
Big Brother 28 backlash
Some Big Brother 28 fans read “Miss me with the drag stuff” as homophobic, and Frankie Grande was among the people offended by it. Kirk’s response tries to separate intent from reception, but the reaction shows how quickly a throwaway line can become part of the season’s public record once it leaves the house.
He also pushed back on the idea that he and Yash Patel broke the Wolf Pack alliance, saying, “I don’t think that I would say that Yash and I broke the Wolf Pack alliance.” He said, “From my perspective, I think that Dee broke the Wolf Pack alliance,” and described his own position as someone who tried to keep more people inside the group rather than blow it up.
Jason De Puy and finale night
Jason De Puy has since been doing drag as Queen Kamu, after appearing on two seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race as Salina EsTitties. Kirk’s hope to “hug it out” on finale night reads less like damage control than a basic attempt to reset the relationship in public after a messy few days.
That is the cleanest takeaway from the interview: Kirk is not backing away from the friendship, only from the idea that the comment was meant as an attack. If he and Jason meet on finale night, the real test will be whether the house fight can stay in the game and out of the friendship.
