Ryan Bradshaw stated, "There was never any intent to upset anyone or maliciously upset anyone," referring to his comment about identifying as a spoon. He emphasized the remark was meant as a "quick tongue-in-cheek moment" that was taken out of context.
In response to the backlash, Nadia Almada criticized Big Brother's decision to air Ryan's comments, feeling it represented a failure to understand the implications of such statements and the potential impact on the LGBTQ+ community.
Despite the backlash, Bradshaw mentioned he wasn't taking the criticism personally: "Everyone had the right to their own opinion," expressing that he understands the variety of perspectives people hold about identity.
Ryan continued to clarify his initial remark, stating it was intended more as a joke about unconventional identities, such as "wolves or things like that," rather than an attack on anyone's pronouns.
