Big Brother 26 brought the drama early for viewers.
The season barely began before a feud between Angela Murray and Matt Hardeman surfaced.
Then Angela blew up on Matt in the kitchen after she won Head of Household.
Many fans felt Angela went too far, including when she kept calling Matt “crazy eyes” in front of the other players.
Social media has been in an uproar since that moment, with many Big Brother fans accusing Angela of bullying Matt.
Some Big Brother fans even contacted Angela’s real estate agency in Salt Lake City to get her fired.
Angela’s boss responds to the Big Brother controversy
After an influx of people contacted the place where Angela works (Utah’s Elite Realtors), her boss disabled the link to Angela’s online bio. It was an effort to stop fans from continuing to disrupt people as they worked.
Angela’s boss (Liz Sears) spoke to TMZ and said she was “dumbfounded” by how people reacted to reality TV. She also called reality TV “fake” and said it was “weird” and “funny” that people were attacking Angela over a TV show.
Liz also spoke with TMZ about a strategy she claims Angela has used on BB26.
She says that Angela is intentionally being the villain as a strategy and that Angela is actually “sweet, kind, smart, clever, and fun.”
Angela’s page at the firm has already been restored, and her boss hopes people stop taking Big Brother so seriously.
There are also Big Brother fans supporting Angela who feel the fans complaining about her wouldn’t have survived earlier seasons of the show.
Either way, Angela could have some difficult questions asked of her by host Julie Chen Moonves when her time on BB26 ends.
