Rianne Charlotte (also on Bluesky)

Let me make this crystal clear. I am deeply disturbed by the microaggressive behavior we’re seeing in the Big Brother house this season. I’ve spoken about this on my stream before & I want to make my stance just as clear here. Now, this may not be what you want to hear but I’m going to be honest. I can’t be your first line of defense for everything. Some of you feel that I’m not doing enough when it comes to speaking out about these issues & are asking me to be your puppet rather than allowing me the time & space to have my own voice on it. I lived this experience & I’m still trying to process it. BB28 being the first season I’m watching directly after mine has been extremely exhausting & overwhelming, especially considering the issues surfacing within that house. I’ve contemplated countless times the proper direction in which to address these issues while also taking the space to manage my own feelings. It’s important that I’m intentional about how I navigate these conversations, especially as a Big Brother alum. As a streamer, I do my best to keep my discussions about BB centered around the game because I don’t want to contribute to dogpiling. However, that doesn’t mean I’m going to shy away from calling out issues. I understand a lot of you are angry & I’m right there with you. My role in this community is to provide a positive & safe space while also being mindful of the words I use, how I communicate them & how those messages are received. I genuinely care about this community & the conversations we have here. I’m doing my best with all of this & I know I won’t always handle everything perfectly. I just ask that you extend me some grace as we get through this season. Again, I highly encourage y’all to take breaks & give yourselves some space when things become too much. Mental health is so important! Anyway, if you’ve made it this far… I appreciate you for taking the time to read this. #BB28
