EKIN-SU has appeared to take another thinly-veiled swipe after snubbing the Celebrity Big Brother final.

The reality TV icon, 29, was left visibly shocked after her time in the CBB house came to an end with audible boos from the show's eviction crown.

Her portrayal on the show, and some fan backlash, led the star to take some time away from the spotlight and she opted not to reunite with her co-stars at the final of the ITV reality hit.

A much-loved reality star, the TV favourite received a surprise under-whelming reception after her stay in the house and got given an early boot despite being touted as a likely winner before the programme kicked off.

Now she appears to have made her feelings known once again after being left seemingly disappointed in the way she was portrayed on the programme.

On her official Twitter/X account, it could be seen that a tweet had been liked calling for "justice" following her time on the show.

The message read: "Just wondering if there's any chance we could get #JusticeForEkinSu trending?"

Ekin-Su has taken some time out of the public eye after receiving horrific trolling following her time on CBB.

The ex of Davide Sanclimenti had been unfairly subjected to a slew of cruel messages and admitted that her first week out of the house was among some of her "lowest moments".

Breaking her silence

The star broke her silence in an emotional statement where she thanked her loyal fans for their fierce support as well as to discuss why she opted not to attend the show's final and see Ibiza Weekender star David Potts crowned the champion.

Writing on her Instagram stories, she said: "I know it's unlike me to hide away, but I've been taking some time to reflect. Sometimes in our lowest moments, we learn the most important lessons about ourselves."

She went to explain that she didn't want her fans to take her skipping the finale the wrong way.

The Turkish actress continued: "I hope you don't think I was selfish for setting boundaries and putting my own needs first last night. I'm fully aware that not everybody will understand my absence, or think it was the right decision to make, BUT it was the right decision for me.

"I chose to remove myself from a potentially uncomfortable situation that I preferred to avoid. I'm proud of myself for recognising what I need during this time, despite the hate that might come my way."

She added: "Accountability is key and when I'm ready, I will give some context around these past few weeks. Thank you to everybody who has sent kindness my way, I see you, and I appreciate you. The new chapter starts now."

Ekin signed the vulnerable post off with a love heart.

Big Brother has faced accusations of bullying and ITV were flooded by Ofcom complaints when Ekin-Su appeared on Late & Live following her eviction.

Some fans claimed hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best were harsh on her during the post-eviction show.

When Ekin claimed a lot of things on the show hadn't been aired, panellist Layton Williams slammed her and furiously shot back, saying: "We're not going to blame the edit, girl."

She looked on uncomfortable after the harsh comment as she attempted to compose herself.
