Big Brother: Why Tiffany Mitchell Doesn't Call Derek Frazier A Friend
Following all the drama that took place inside the Big Brother 23 house this past summer, Tiffany Mitchell can no longer call Derek Frazier a friend. Both Tiffany and Derek F. were a part of the dominating six-person alliance known as the Cookout. In addition to Tiffany and Derek F., the Cookout consisted of Azah Awasum, Hannah Chaddha, Kyland Young, and Xavier Prather.
Because the Cookout had a mission of making it to the final six all together, they refused to turn on each other despite any issues that occurred amongst the group. Derek F., who was one of the most disappointing houseguests on BB23, had numerous falling outs with Tiffany over the course of the season. The two alliance members constantly bumped heads and disagreed on many things. Alas, even though they had their differences, Tiffany and Derek F. ultimately put the drama aside to fulfill the mission that they set out to complete with the Cookout alliance.
Now that Big Brother 23 has ended and there is no longer an alliance or mission tying them together, Tiffany doesn't think she can call Derek F. a friend. Throughout the duration of the season, fans were not happy about Derek F.'s behavior, particularly when it comes to his treatment of Tiffany. Looking back on it, Tiffany isn't happy about it either. In an interview with Girl Let's Agree to Disagree (full video included below), the America's Favorite Player winner of BB23 admitted that she doesn't intend on being friends with Derek F. after the show. "We are not the same and there is nothing wrong with that," she explained.
Even though Tiffany doesn't feel like she can call Derek F. a friend, that doesn't mean she has any hard feelings toward him. After going back to watch some of the season, Tiffany wasn't surprised by what Derek had said about her while in the Diary Room. On the other hand, if someone closer to her such as Hannah or Azah had spoken that way about her, she may have held a grudge outside of the house.
In an effort to teach her 14-year-old son a valuable lesson, Tiffany made it clear that while Derek F.'s words do not hurt her, she doesn't respect his behavior. She wouldn't want her son behaving that way, but Tiffany also understands that Big Brother is just a game at the end of the day. Thus, she isn't holding a grudge against Derek F. Ultimately, Tiffany has nothing but love for all of her co-stars.
