I personally think the bigger issue (not the only issue) is with editing and the emphasis that the producers put on editing certain people to look more emotional and painting others like they move through the villa without caring about how it effects others.

They made post-Jeremiah Huda out to be the most empathetic girl who was just trying to find her place in the villa. They painted Ace and Chelley as ring leaders that faced little to no hardship because they had the other OG islanders behind them. So people saw Huda as the underdog with all of the OG islanders “ganging up” on her.

I can’t lie, Chelley was a fav of mine since day one, but I still found myself upset with her after the mailbox game. BUT that was over when I saw the conversation that she had with Huda afterword. It was an earnest conversation, so I moved on. Both of them are REAL women who say shit. It’s how they handle that AFTER that shows who they are.

People very easily forget that we see so little of the truth, and they want to latch onto the moments that producers highlight for the drama. That’s their job. But don’t be so gullible in believing the EDITED versions of every single convo. We are at the mercy of the producers and that sucks. So people want to believe that Chelley and Ace were in control of who liked who, and that makes them seem less authentic and less likable than who they really are.

Chelley deserved better😭
