After cast member Aaryn Gries was deemed as racist after her ill choice of words on "Big Brother 15," a black guy named Shawn Onyechi is coming to her defense claiming he was her Valentine this year.




Onyechi told TMZ that him and Gries are buddies from college who never dated but did spend this past Valentine's Day together.




He even went to Twitter to stand up for the Texan gal with the foul mouth.




"Who thinks Aaryn Gries from big brother is racist? I've heard her comments, but personally I KNOW otherwise," Onyechi tweeted.




Just as a reminder, Gries uttered a number of racist slurs on the show including, "Be careful what you say in the dark, you might not be able to see that bitch," which was in reference to a black woman on the show.




Gries who was eventually evicted from the Big Brother house, stress that she is a Texan and not a racist (whatever that means).




Online publication "Oh No They Didn't" suggested Gries' mom paid Onyechi off to come at her daughters defense.
