Throughout the clip, the contestants are seen talking about his movements and ‘rocking’’. Here is a snippet of their conversation-

In the video, Dani Briones says, “I can't even look at him sometimes because of his constant movement. It stresses me out. I feel mean saying that, but I'll literally have to move to a point where I can't see him." Another video shows Memphis Garrett mocking  Ian (above video). Other contestants such as Nicole, Dani and Christmas Abbot are laughing at this.

Former contestants of Big Brother Janelle Pierzina wrote, “Instead of laughing they should be standing up for Ian. He has a disability.”

Here is her post-

Kaysar Ridha revealed his opinions on the matter and said, "Inside the BB house reflects society's failures when it comes to our handling of diversity. We could use a lesson in empathy and awareness. People who are neurodiverse and on the spectrum should be protected not trashed. I have zero tolerance on this issue #BB22.” He accompanied the video with the words, “Covert microaggressions are just as destructive to our society as outward racism and should never be tolerated. Houseguests should have known better and will hopefully learn from this.#BB22.”
