Although Janelle Pierzina has been banished from Season 2 of The Traitors, the drama between her and some of her costars lives on.
Her biggest feud this season has been with Real Housewives of Miami star Larsa Pippen following a rocky roundtable in Episode 4. After Janelle targeted Larsa for her “weird” behavior, ultimately sending her home, Larsa slammed the 4x Big Brother player in an interview, saying Janelle was “upset” she was getting more camera time than her.
Now, they’ve both left the Traitors castle, and the latest episode showed Dan Gheesling’s attempt at throwing his fellow Traitor, Phaedra Parks, under the bus to the rest of the cast. In her postmortem interview and a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Phae called him “Dirty Dan” and later said he could “go to hell.” Many watchers feel she’s taking a game move too personally, while others say her feelings are justified. So, how does Janelle feel about the post-show drama? Read on to find out!
Janelle says some stars (from Bravo) are taking things “so personally”
Janelle had a chat with Dan on his podcast. The two Big Brother legends spoke about their surprise regarding some of their costar’s reactions to the game. “I’ve been disappointed in some of the cast members that they take things so personally,” Janelle said.
“Blocking people this and that. It’s just such a shame. You know, we’re all from the same season. I don’t understand why we all can’t be one family. Like, that’s how I am with Big Brother. I talk to everyone from previous seasons; I don’t ever hold bad blood. But there are people that are taking things so personally.”
The upcoming Traitors reunion will be filmed in New York in the coming weeks, and when asked if she was expecting anything specific, Janelle said she expects to take some heat from the Bravo clique.
“I expect some cheap shots from the Bravo people, for sure,” she said. “But, you know, I expect some hurt feelings [and] people to be absolutely pissed off because they’re taking things so personally they’re not really computing that this is a game.”
“The people that did this to you or played you … it’s a game, baby. That’s all it is to us. We don’t care. Sorry.”
The Traitors continues on Thursdays, with new episodes streaming on Peacock from 9/8c.
