Booted Big Brother 11 Houseguest Chima Apologizes

STUDIO CITY (AP) ― Chima Simone is saying she's sorry -- but not for getting kicked off "Big Brother 11."

The 33-year-old freelance journalist is apologizing for calling a houseguest a terrorist.

Last week, the show depicted Simone feuding with a Lebanese-American mixed martial arts fighter.

Simone, who is African-American, said she was sorry to all who were offended for using "a phrase that was insensitive given his Middle Eastern descent." The apology was made in an e-mail written to Hollyscoop.com, the celebrity gossip Web site where Simone appeared in videos as reporter before entering the "Big Brother 11" house.

She was kicked off the CBS reality series for multiple rule violations that had nothing to do with the name-calling.
