Here's how it worked:
Brigitte's Eric makes a post on the Behind Big Brother web site refuting he is her boyfriend.
About ten hours later BBBA finally reprints the post on the front page and gets busy with the process of
"verifying the identity of “Eric”. Stay tuned."
Meanwhile the BBBA faithful dutifully lay into Eric, "pack mentality" style.
And as the boys are busy doing whatever they do to verify a member's identity - writing to Eric's ISP most likely - The Telegraph's Garth Montgomery swoops and grabs the guy. Much to the amusement of forumers:
"Garth "Monty" From Tele falls for possibly fake Eric"
And people call Brigitte clueless.
UPDATE 8:45pm:
The BBBA forums have now deteriorated into a fully fledged character assassination of Eric, with the abuse of a guy who simply rocked up to plead his case allowed to freely flow, unchecked by moderators.
What a disgusting place.
UPDATE:
BBBA's newest "member" Eric has made about 14 civil posts explaining himself. This is just a small sample of the hundreds of posts hurled back at him:
"You're a ****ing douche!"
"....let's just pummel him into the ground"
"Eric gave me herpes..."
"...can only assume your a seller and a user."
"The guys a druggo sleaze"
"I wonder where he earns all his money"
"nah man he is an ekkie dealer!"
All from the users of "Australia's Largest Unofficial Fan Site" and obviously endorsed by its owners through their utter indifference towards reining in the abuse.
I'd certainly sue.

Jealous much?
You know that 'blah blah fulls for possibly fake eric' thing... was posted by Michael from 06... I think it was...
Someone get that site on a suicide watch. STAT
That's hilarious. How did we all know you'd follow that story with some truths exposed?
Any idiot can go the the OS forum and a slam site and claim he is someone he probably isn't. The morons at BBBA fell for it. Even if it is him, it's all part of BB's plan to keep Brigitte there until the end. Wake up BBBA.
I see that almost all of the other sites (except News Ltd, as you'd expect) have been smart enough to not fall into this trap. But of course BBBA always does. They never learn. How humiliating!
Anon above, I've got no doubts that is the real Eric.
BBBA lost the opportunity to grab the guy and get a story. Instead they sat back and let someone else get it.
That stupid move aside, it nowhere near excuses the positively vile treatment of a new member to their site that is currently raging. No matter who they believe or don't believe that person to be.
Like I said... disgusting.
Oh well, it's classic BBBA, isn't it? What else can you expect from those morons?
I Read those threads. There is more today. They're making the vicious OS forums look like a petting zoo in comparison.
