She expressed that she found it difficult living with Marcello but thought he had nice qualities to him and that maybe they could get along in a different context. She specifically shouted out Segun because she’d genuinely enjoyed getting to know him over the last week, and explained that when she said she thought he was acting she meant that she felt he was holding back parts of himself and not always being honest (which is 100% true!). Again, she comes off ‘stand-offish’ because she’s autistic… That’s how we tend to come across. That’s not a reflection of how she actually feels. Whilst, yes, I do think she made some missteps in her answers about Khaled - she does still seem to think she has the authority to make quick judgements, and doesn’t understand how her early behaviour affected him, nor does she understand the influence she did have in the house - ultimately she said that whilst she didn’t regret her earlier feelings, she did regret giving Khaled so much flack and felt now that she should have let what irritated her go, especially when there are so many lovely parts of Khaled she could have focused on instead. That she now feels he’s a really lovely person.
When I first watched the interview I had a bit more of a negative perception of it, but when I watched it back yesterday and really focused on the words she was saying, I realised that actually most of what she said was kind and measured. There were things that annoyed me, sure, but to say she was appalling is unfair.

A perfect summary of the interview !
I wish I had your way with words .. and maybe I wouldn’t get myself into quite so much trouble
