Many of the reported tweets contain the n-word. And in November 2012, he allegedly tweeted, “wassup wit black people wearin so much Aeropostale I don’t get it lol.”

Other alleged screengrabs allegedly depict sexist tweets, such as one with the hashtag “#womensuck.”
Caprioni appears to have deleted the tweets, although some live on because they were retweeted. His account remains public.
When speakingto PEOPLE in Decemberbefore the premiere of the new season, Caprioni said that joining the hit reality show was “just surreal.”
“I don’t know the dynamic of filming, I don’t know how this works, or what they’re going to keep,” he said. “You hear all these little whispers from everyone else like, ‘They’ll cut all this,’ or ‘They won’t.’ Learning that and understanding that while filming was helpful, but at the same time, it’s a lot of unknown.”
Caprioni also said that he remained true to himself throughout filming.
“That’s the beauty of the show, right?” he said. “They get us into these situations where we emotionally react. And at the end of the day that was your organic, real reaction to it at the moment.”
“Obviously there are some things I’ll look back on in the show when it airs and I’ll be like, ‘Well, I wish you handled that a little differently,’” he continued. “But, it’s just been so fun.”

FaceReality16 also recentlycapturedracist and homophobic tweets from Boyens, the general manager of TomTom who also joined the series in season 8.
In a statement to PEOPLE, Boyens apologized for the tweets, saying that he is “disgusted and embarrassed.”
“I want to sincerely apologize for what I tweeted in 2012 — it was wrong on every level,” his statement said. “It is not a representation of who I am. I am shocked I ever tweeted that — and I am disgusted and embarrassed — I am truly sorry.”
Bravo did not respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment on Boyens.
In another tweet from 2012, Boyens wrote, “Something about Asians that just makes me want to punch them in the suck hole.”
