Forbes StaffBrooklyn Rivera, recently eliminated from Big Brother 26, has strong words for fellow contestant Angela Murray. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Brooklyn, 34, criticized Angela’s behavior in the house, describing her as manipulative.
“Angela is a special breed of person,” Brooklyn said. “She fake cried a lot, and we saw her true colors in week one. The way she treated Matt Hardeman and his mother revealed her true nature.” Brooklyn referred to Angela’s early behavior, including a confrontation with Matt and her claims about Brooklyn eating her charcuterie platter.
Brooklyn Rivera contended that Angela’s complaint about the platter was unfounded, claiming she had permission to eat it. “Angela was just hungry and bitter,” Brooklyn said. She expressed no support for Angela’s game, stating, “She will only get carried so far. At least I played the game.”
Brooklyn also shared her thoughts on other houseguests, such as Leah Peters and Makensy “MJ” Manbeck, noting their lack of genuine alliances. “MJ’s showmance lasted nine days and she’s not trusted,” Brooklyn said. “Leah’s too focused on her nails and floating through the game.”
Despite her criticisms, Brooklyn hopes her ally Chelsie Baham will win but predicts Quinn Martin, the game’s mastermind, will take the prize. “I want to see a deserving player win,” she said.
