Carolyn Wiger is calling out Danielle Reyes’ traitorous off-camera actions.
Following her elimination from “The Traitors” Season 3, the “Survivor” alum, 38, confirmed in an interview with The Post that Reyes, 53, swore on her grandkids during her time in the Scottish castle.
“That triggered me,” Wiger said. “And again, everyone is different with how they play and what they feel is morally okay and whatever. And it’s a game.”
“But being on the Traitors and being with the people that we’re with, I just didn’t think that people were going to go to those lengths,” Wiger added. “And I’m not going to.”
Faithfuls Chrishell Stause and Ciara Miller have also claimed in post-elimination interviews that Reyes swore on her family members.
The “Big Brother” legend has yet to confirm this herself — though the topic will surely come up at the upcoming reunion.
Wiger also spoke to The Post about Reyes’ reaction to her banishment, Dylan Efron choosing to vote her out, and her close bond with Tom Sandoval.
New York Post: What is your response to Danielle’s dramatic reaction to your banishment?
Carolyn Wiger: With certain people I expected the theatrics and stuff. Like Bob the Drag Queen, for example, was such a natural performer that I’m expecting Bob the Drag Queen to do all the theatrics that Bob did. But with Danielle, it’s like, you’re not on Big Brother. I didn’t think they were doing this stuff. So it surprised me. But she was doing that sh-t all season. Maybe not to the level of falling off her chair, but the shakes and the cries. So I was surprised. I guess we all play differently, but I’m like, girl, you really think that’s necessary? She was taking it to a whole other level.
There have also been claims that Danielle was swearing on her grandkids while lying in the castle. Is that true?
Yeah, that’s what originally triggered me. That’s why I said I’m impulsive, because I wanted to sit back and be quiet and wait for her to come. I was going to just wait to see if she’s going to come for me first. But that triggered me — the conversation about the grandkids. And I’m like.. I can’t. And again, everyone is different with how they play and what they feel is morally okay and whatever. And it’s a game. But being on the Traitors and being with the people that we’re with, I just didn’t think that people were going to go to those lengths. And I’m not going to.
Of everyone that voted you out, who surprised you the most?
Dylan. But I get why. I do believe he just knew she was a traitor. But Ivar! And I know that seems weird. But I was shocked because that is somebody who always was talking about like, ‘Yeah, she’s suspicious.’ And then he literally votes for me. I’m like, what the heck? I was shocked.
When I’m looking around the roundtable sniffing it out. I’m certain Gabby is going to vote with me. I’m not going to lie to you, I was close with Tom. I knew I couldn’t depend on Tom, and I knew that Dolores was not. I didn’t think she’d vote for me, and I didn’t think she’d vote for her. It was kind of a risky gamble, but I did not know that Ivar and then Dylan. I wish I could’ve depended on Tom, but you know you can’t because he was always going to be on his own over there.
It is kind of annoying. Seriously Tom, I’ve had your back. I literally blew my freaking cover by standing up for your a** during the chess where it was the leader . I shouldn’t have answered that. I totally screwed myself there when I’m like, ‘it could be Tom.’ That was truly me feeling bad for somebody. This is the truth. And just wanting Tom for one moment to feel like somebody else took him seriously, and somebody else saw him as a player in this game, because there were so many times out there that he was discounted or not taken seriously. And I saw a lot of myself in him.
So I did naturally want to just like stand up for him. And I know that’s not the popular opinion, but I did. I didn’t like how people treated him sometimes. It pissed me off.
New episodes of “The Traitors” release Thursdays at 9 pm ET on Peacock.
