Big Brother 28 star Haley Thogmartin says she still loves Angela Murray despite their intense confrontation and admits she regrets some of her own behaviour.
Haley Thogmartin has opened up about her explosive falling-out with fellow Big Brother 28 houseguest Angela Murray, insisting that she does not hold lasting resentment despite the intensity of their confrontation.
The dispute erupted during Thogmartin’s Head of Household reign after a dramatic vote flip resulted in Lyric Medeiros being evicted instead of the planned target, Melody Morris.
Thogmartin’s core allies had reportedly remained committed to the original plan, but Dee Valladares and Murray lied about their votes, leaving Thogmartin blindsided and her alliance fractured.
Big Brother 28 vote sparks heated confrontation
Murray, who was reportedly consumed by guilt over the vote, eventually admitted the truth to Thogmartin.
The confession quickly escalated into a heated, expletive-filled confrontation between the two houseguests. The argument became so intense that production briefly cut the live feeds.
For Thogmartin, however, the most upsetting part of the confrontation was not the vote itself, but a particular comment Murray made involving her parents.
Despite the heated exchange, Thogmartin said she did not want the situation to escalate further.
“I hated seeing her that upset,” Thogmartin said, describing Murray as her “absolute glue” and “rock” inside the Big Brother house.
She explained that she knew emotions were running high and wanted to have a private conversation after both had been given time to cool down.

Despite everything that happened, Thogmartin made it clear that she does not have lasting animosity towards Murray.
“I love her to death. I still love her,” she said, while acknowledging that she was upset about how the confrontation unfolded.
Thogmartin also described Murray as an “incredible person”, suggesting that their friendship had survived the dramatic fallout despite the intense circumstances inside the house.
Her comments offer a more reflective perspective on one of the season’s most dramatic conflicts, with Thogmartin appearing to separate the emotional confrontation from her overall feelings towards Murray.
Thogmartin reflects on her own behaviour
After leaving the competition, Thogmartin also took responsibility for her own conduct during the tense period.
In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, the 29-year-old acknowledged that she had seen some of the reactions to her behaviour online and was not proud of everything she said.
“I’m really regretful about a couple things and I obviously own all of it,” she said.
Thogmartin explained that the Big Brother environment had placed enormous emotional, mental and physical pressure on contestants around the clock.
She admitted that the intensity of the competition had affected her behaviour at certain moments and said she accepted responsibility for what she had said.
Haley Thogmartin’s Big Brother journey ends
Thogmartin was eventually eliminated from Big Brother 28 following a surprise “medieval” twist that dramatically changed the dynamics inside the house.
Her departure brought an end to an unpredictable run in the competition, featuring shifting alliances, emotional confrontations and major strategic twists.
While her feud with Murray became one of the most talked-about moments of her time in the house, Thogmartin’s latest comments suggest she has no intention of allowing the confrontation to define their relationship outside the game.
