CBB’s Renee Graziano on living with ‘impossible’ Stephen Bear
The Mob Wives star opened up about the winner's controversial behaviour and why she wasn't scared of him
She made her feelings clear on Stephen Bear branding him “the worst form of cancer” in an angry rant while inside the Celebrity Big Brother house.
And after leaving the Renee Graziano has now opened up about what it was like living with the controversial contestant.
She explained: "He is impossible to deal with, he lies. He found a way to press that secret silent button."
Renee even said that some of the words used by Bear reminded her of her ex-husband.
Explaining that she was a “domestic abuse victim” she said: “My ex-husband used certain words. Bear made it his business to use those words, the same as my ex-husband, who I refer to as a sociopath.”
“I think Big Brother definitely should have taken it a bit more seriously.”
But despite her confession Renee said she was not “scared” of the former Ex On The Beach star.
She said: Scared of him? Never. What I didn’t like was what I said to him, when he said “For your sake you better.” That’s a threat. I took it as a threat.”
She added: “I responded like a Mob Wife."
Renee said she coped with being cooped up with Bear thanks to regular visits to the house doctor.
She said: "If it wasn't for that doctor, I often had to leave the room to speak to the doctor."
Renee added that she got through the experience "without being medicated" so I am truly the winner".
The American personality also revealed she was paid considerably more to appear on the show than Bear.
She claimed that Bear only got a "$12,000 cheque" but said she was on "six figures".
