Celebrity Big Brother star Marisha Wallace has come to the defense of ex-housemate Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, despite their recent argument. As the finale approaches, Marisha shared her thoughts during an Instagram live session with newly evicted Bradley Riches.
The Good and the Bad
Marisha, a Broadway and West End star, took the opportunity to reflect on her time in the house and answer fan questions. While responding to a query about participating in the US version of CBB, Marisha expressed her willingness to consider it. Bradley, on the other hand, compared the US version to “The Traitors,” claiming that people are overly desperate to win.
Marisha did agree to some extent, recalling a fight she had with Ekin-Su during which she nominated her. However, Marisha clarified that her intention was to offer Ekin-Su a compliment due to her popularity. Unfortunately, things quickly took a turn for the worse. Marisha admitted that the pressure in the house can heighten emotions, and Ekin-Su’s recent breakup may have contributed to her reaction.
Understanding the Pressure
Marisha empathized with Ekin-Su’s situation and shed light on the intense environment of Celebrity Big Brother. She laughed about her own experience of crying over a teddy bear, questioning the reasoning behind such emotional outbursts. Marisha acknowledged that the show’s high-pressure atmosphere can lead to unexpected reactions from anyone.
Despite their disagreement, Marisha understands where Ekin-Su is coming from and holds no ill will. She emphasized the challenging nature of Celebrity Big Brother, explaining that the show amplifies every emotion. The intense circumstances can cause relationships to fray, leading to explosive moments like the one with Ekin-Su.
Final Thoughts
As the Celebrity Big Brother finale approaches, Ekin-Su has chosen not to attend due to the backlash she received about her attitude and on-screen arguments. Marisha, however, remains sympathetic towards Ekin-Su and the challenges she faced. She recognizes that anyone in that pressure cooker environment could have experienced outbursts. Marisha’s understanding and defense of Ekin-Su demonstrate a compassionate approach that goes beyond their previous disagreement.
