Celebrity Big Brother star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu has been hit by backlash and accused of ‘toxic’ behaviour. The Love Island favourite has left viewers fuming with her recent antics, causing some to even accuse her of putting on ‘crocodile tears’ in last night’s episode (Thursday, March 14).
Now, Ekin-Su’s team have had their say, describing the recent episode as “sad to watch”.
Ekin-Su crying on Celebrity Big Brother
Ekin’s team took to her Instagram to have their say on the swirling criticism surrounding the star. They wrote: “Last night was a really sad episode to watch. Ekin-Su has always cared and worn her heart on her sleeve, and last night we saw that.
“What made last night a thousands times harder though is seeing and listening to hateful comments, trolling, name calling, and physical abuse threats. Nobody deserves this behaviour and to read some of what we did last night.
“@bbuk is a reality entertainment show that is edited to entertain us as viewers. We see an hour of 24 hours each day, and the show is a social experiment that has been known to heighten emotions.
“We would like to thank those of you that have supported Ekin-Su. The love and kind words haven’t gone unnoticed! Please remember, in a world where you can be anything, be kind. Love always, Team Ekin-Su x.”
Celebrity Big Brother last night
In last night’s episode, Ekin-Su was seen sobbing into a pillow after she was nominated by several of her co-stars. Former This Morning veteran Fern Britton even stated about the Love Islander: “I don’t know the real you and that, that has disappointed me and disturbed me.”
American actress Marisha Wallace struggled to give a good reason as to why she was nominating Ekin-Su and tried to explain that she felt she wouldn’t win if Ekin-Su was in the final.
Ekin-Su fumed in response: “That’s not a reason. I knew this was gonna happen. Just judging me because I went on a [bleep] show before. You’ve been close with me this whole time so you’ve been fake to me this whole time.”
The star ultimately broke down and cried to Marisha after face to face nominations – which didn’t go down well with viewers. One wrote: “I’m fully aware of the #BeKind quote and I’m sure Ekin-Su is lovely irl but… Ekin-Su is coming across horrible, nasty and fake as anything.
She’s such an actress, especially with last night’s episode and the crocodile tears and fake crying need to stop.
“She’s such an actress, especially with last night’s episode and the crocodile tears and fake crying need to stop.”
Another chimed in: “She is a toxic and narcissistic woman.”
A third added: “Ekin-Su is being SO unreasonable. She’s legit besties with Louis [Walsh] and she nominated him but has the nerve to come at Marisha so hard for being honest lol get over it.”
