Big Brother Expelled House Guests / Voluntarily Leave

Justin Sebik was out of control even at the beginning of the season before the first house guest had been evicted. The first incident happened when another house guest Kent had brought his own pillow from home and Justin took it and went to bed with it. Kent stormed in and took it back and a yelling match ensued. Justin brought his fists up threatening to punch Kent. After things had cooled down, Justin said that he was just joking around and that he understood that intimidation and physical violence would not be tolerated. Following that incident, Justin then proceeded to urinate on a window, smash the chess set, throw a chair, threatened to punch Autumn in the stomach and threaten to toss glass bottles in the air so that they would smash on the basketball court. The last straw was when Justin Sebik threatened fellow house guest Krista with a knife to her throat asking her “Would you get mad if I killed you?” The incident was fueled by a night of heavy drinking. In addition to that he also threatened her with a floor sweeper by swinging it in slow motion by her head. As Justin was called into the diary room he told Krista (who had also been warned about her behaviour) “We got problems! I think it might have been that knife to your neck.” A fellow house guests Hardy said that “living with Justin was like living with a dangerous third grader.” Due to the violent nature of the incidents producers immediately evicted and disqualified Justin. Justin Sebik was the very first big brother house guest to be expelled. When Julie Chen interviewed him after the show ended, Justin showed no understanding of why he had been expelled from the house. Justin said that the knife to the neck was obviously a joke and that anyone who thought it wasn’t was an idiot. Justin also said, “I didn’t threaten nuthin’ against anybody.” Justin said that the incident with Kent wasn’t a threat it was intimidation. Interesting choice of words considering he had told producers that he understood that intimidation and physical violence would not be tolerated. Justin told Julie Chen that he was using a strategy of confusion. Following the ending of the season reports surfaced about Justin’s criminal background that should have been discovered prior to allowing him into the big brother house. The reports showed that Justin had been arrested 5 times in his hometown Bayonne, New Jersey. He had 3 allegations of assault and 2 for minor robbery, however, none of the charges resulted in prosecution. In addition to this violent behaviour, after the season ended he was arrested again on January 7th, 2002 where his girlfriend had a broken ankle and choke marks on her neck. Following Krista’s eventual eviction from the house, she spoke in her interview saying “When Julie asked me about this, I had no recollection of what she was talking about because we were basically joking around,” Krista said. “They (the producers) blew that completely out of proportion. Justin is just a fun guy. I really don’t have the memory of the knife. Maybe my eyes were closed at the time, but I never viewed him as a threat. So it wasn’t part of my strategy. I just didn’t remember it.” She continued to say “I really didn’t take it seriously,” she said. “If you know Justin and if you’ve lived with him, then you know completely, he’s off the hook. He’s nuts. He’s funny.” After the show ended, Krista changed her story and sued CBS over the knife incident.
