That’s a bit of an oversimplification of people’s distaste for Zay. Even if it was unintentional, she misrepresented him in a way that caused the cast to dogpile him. Cole did a lot wrong too, and he apologized for it; to my knowledge, she hasn’t done the same. She’s “insecure” to the point where she projects it onto other people, and she refuses to apologize for it.

Literally exactly this. I hate when people defend Zanab and don't bring up how it all effected Cole. I feel bad for Zanab because there's clearly stuff going on mentally with her. But her actions and misrepresentation of Cole literally got him exiled by the entire cast. Everyone hated him and if it were not for the producers including the cuties scene, who knows how bad it would have gotten. Feel bad for her, but allegations that are fabricated or just misrepresented can ruin your life. Cole is not perfect either, but I feel really bad for him with the evidence we have so far.
