The Big Brother 27 houseguests are starting to reacclimate to the real world, and that means they have their phones back and are interacting with fans.
Winner Ashley Hollis, whose masterful social game led to her defeating runner-up Vince Panaro in a 6-1 vote in the finale, has seen fans criticizing him and third-place finisher Morgan Pope.
“FIRSTLY, No one deserves hate, not Morgan, not Vinny etc!” she wrote via X on Thursday, October 2. “These are real people, although I’m not close with Vinny and never had any type of relationship with him all season I still wish him the best and hope he’s doing well! 🙏🏾”
Fans were quick to point out that one of the first public posts that Ashley, 25, made after she was crowned the winner was throwing shade at Vince, 34. Ashley posted via Instagram a compilation of Vince criticizing her throughout the season, saying she did not deserve to win the game — or to make it far at all.
“There’s truly no better feeling than beating a cry baby in 6-1 vote whewww 🥳🤭🤭🤭🤭😉🍾,” she wrote in the caption of her post on September 29. “Should’ve gotten me out week one babes! Oh wait, you failed at that because I won the power of veto and took myself off the block! #itsquietaintnobacktalk 😏 #bb27 🤫🤫 #teamashley.”
She is standing by her comments.
“Aht aht I said what I said! 🗣️ #standingonbusiness,” she responded to one fan via X.
“The first thing you did after getting evicted was throw hate at Vince,” another follower replied. “A sore loser is bad a sore winner is worse.”
“He was an Ashley hater all season, one post… he will be fine 🤭,” Ashley fired back.
Ashley added in an interview with Us Weekly immediately after the finale that she “grew to like” Vince in the house.
“I actually did really grow to like Vince as a person throughout the game. He really is a nice guy,” she said. “Didn’t understand his gameplay and his jury management and giving people false hope. Didn’t really understand that part. But as a person, Vince was a nice guy overall.”
During the pair’s final two speeches to the jury, Ashley laid out her game, changing Vince’s perspective on the work she put in. She revealed to the jury that she is actually a lawyer and managed her threat level by playing dumb. Her mantra of turning enemies into allies resonated with the jury next to Vince, who she said “turned allies into enemies.”
“Anytime I saw a crack in anybody’s relationships, I took that crowbar and I opened it up more, and I stuck my way in there,” she told Us. “I attached myself to different people in the house and used them as shields in the game.”
Vince appeared to realize in real time that Ashley was earning votes throughout her speech, and he told Us that he did not handle the jury questioning as well as he could have.
“I knew I would probably get grilled a little bit,” he said. “They were pretty harsh on me, for sure. All of them were pretty, were pretty good questions, and I wasn’t the best [at] answering them.”
