According to TMZ, producers raised the red flag when it emerged that the star had previously photoshopped an image of herself standing in front of Auschwitz dressed in Hitler regalia.

The image, which surfaced in 2013, is one of numerous controversial posts on the topic which have been shared by Tila, resulting in her Facebook account being suspended at least eight times, the Mail Online reports.

The Campaign against Anti-Semitism launched an online petition to have the reality star removed from the house, with 280 signatures at the time of writing.
