Reggie Bird has come to her sister Anita’s defence after sharing an unaired Big Brother Australia moment showing Ebony unleashing on her fellow housemate.
The two-time Big Brother winner took to Instagram to share a video of the explosive bedroom rant, in which Ebony appears furious about Anita leaving her bedding on the floor.
And Reggie made it clear she wasn’t impressed with what was said about her sister, offering Anita a sweet message of support before the footage played.
“Oh Neats, stay strong girl. I’ve got your back. Big love,” Reggie said in the video.
It then cut to Ebony tearing through the bedroom, where she launched into a furious rant about Anita.
“Look at her bed. Every pillow, every blanket is on the floor. I am f*cking ready to rip her head off. I need to have morals and I can’t be a bully,” Ebony said.
“She’s such a twat. I’m going to eat my emotions. I actually hate her. You know how everyone’s like, ‘Hate’s such a strong word’, well it’s not strong enough. I hate this weirdo.”
As Ebony delivered her final insult, Reggie could be heard reacting with a shocked “Wow”.
Big Brother fans accuse producers of leaving Ebony’s rant out
Following Reggie’s post, viewers took to a Big Brother Facebook fan page to question why the explosive moment hadn’t made it into the show’s daily episodes.
One fan claimed the footage had been left out while the broadcast focused on Ebony’s relationship with Austin.
“This is why I watch live when I can. Daily episode completely cut out Ebony’s viral tirade on Anita and is only focusing on her and Austin’s relationship. Now BB is playing it off as poor little Ebony and her broken heart! Editing at its finest!!! KARMA is a b*tch,” they wrote.
Another viewer alleged there had been other comments from Ebony that hadn’t made the edit, including threats to spit in housemates’ food and further insults directed at Anita.
“She showed no empathy or care toward Anita over the gun gesture! When she was told about Anita and her trauma, she didn’t approach her to apologise, nothing! It was Anita who went to her to explain! Disgusting,” they wrote.
Other viewers were equally unimpressed, with one commenting: “I can’t wait till Ebony is booted out and off that high horse she’s perched on.”
Another agreed that the footage deserved to be seen, writing: “The disgusting display yesterday has just been completely glossed over and edited out. She gets off scot free from people witnessing her absolute appalling behaviour!”
Chattr has reached out to Ten for a statement.
While Reggie hasn’t held back in showing support for her sister, her latest Instagram post has also reignited debate among viewers about what is and isn’t making it into the daily episodes.
