Interview with Big Brother 24 Runner-Up Monte Taylor | Showbiz Cheat Sheet

[@ForeverHopeful12]

The fact he’s calling the headphones “my headphones” justifies Taylor’s actions.

[@kabbystevens5167]

Yes, he is still saying “MY” headphones. Lol

[@WendyT1103]

He’s Absolutely Ridiculous… Can NOT Stand that Man… 😣😤

[@koakoa8]

He feels entitled to his behavior and is using the same excuses over and over. There is no remorse. He's a man who was willing to talk to a woman in whatever way necessary to make sure he hurt her and at the same time let her know he could do worse and would have if he wasn't in the public eye. Disgusting.

[@undefined2105]

He basically said “I have Black friends” when responding about colorism…

[@kerrypalmer2311]

🤦🏽‍♀️Jasmine has no black friends 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@lindahart2272]

He wasn't ready for you, Nicole! NOT AT ALL! He probably thought this would be another cookie cutter easy conversation about him. The genius of YOUR interview is asking all of the questions he's gotten away with deflecting from. I LOVED IT! Truly one of the best interviews post BB24.

[@jessicavo4609]

I agree 1000000000%! Best interviews with Nicole, and especially for Monte, who is very intelligent, well spoken, and aware of social perceptions. I hope that from all of this he can be more aware of his misogynistic biases because overall he does seem like a genuinely kind person.

[@wts7273]

Totally agree!!

[@blackcurlmagicgrey-sloan8640]

BEST MONTE INTERVIEW… YOU TRIED TO HOLD HIM ACCOUNTABLE BUT UNFORTUNATELY HE IS CLUELESS. GREAT JOB…

[@Ms.Nicety]

...or he's egotistical, likely both

[@welllookylooky5844]

Thank you Nicole for showing you can have a professional interview and ask difficult questions on a podcast. Unfortunately, Monte has some serious issues & still refuses to take real accountability. Not only is he insecure, controlling, he is emotionally abusive. He needs therapy.

[@bronzetogold8940]

Just let it go, you stans want every interviewer to bash this man and see it through your one sided lense. Tiffany did a good job interviewing Monte, get over it. Everything you said about him is an opinion and not a fact.

[@audreyloire3131]

@@bronzetogold8940 it is a particular demographic so pressed and upset about a game and person they don’t know. It’s very toxic.

[@bronzetogold8940]

@@audreyloire3131 We all know who that demographic is, and it's not all Blk People lol

[@kellym3399]

How can he be so unaware of the things Taylor went through when he was one of the main instigators? Still zero accountability I see. Great questions, Nicole. You are a gem!

[@niematansolamenteazucaralg2259]

he doesn't know what he is apologising for.

[@Moonflower_Katnis]

The whole mess started because he went and immediately ran to Paloma to tell on Taylor and please note...he totally flipped what she said to him. Monte liked Paloma. He mentioned the first day in the house how she'd be his type. He was trying to kiss ass thinking he'd win favor to get some ass. Messy men are so disgusting! Turner should've won 2nd place.

[@kabbystevens5167]

Montes actions with the Taylor Paloma Monte was the worst version of “playing telephone” game. I really thought as it was occurring Monte was stirring the pot to cause a riff, but in actuality he DID processed that conversation completely different.

[@Ms.Nicety]

Right I called BS . He was very aware. He was present when people verbalized leaving the room only because she was entering. He took part and refuses to accept accountability. His ego is a mfr, but Nicole called that out too.. loved it!

[@KS-hi8vi]

He hasn’t owned up to that fact that HE started the whole house to ostracize Taylor. HE told Daniel & other HG’s Taylor deserved this treatment because of something HE thought she did to him. BUT he told us in DR if Paloma lied he still wanted to work with her. Even if Taylor did what he thought it’s called Big Brother were lies and manipulation are fair game. Somehow this man was led to believe has authority over women and can be the judge & jury when it’s convenient for him. Kat Dunn Conspiring Bitches interview lays it out for him. He wants to blame others and their treatment of Taylor but MONTE led & started the ATTACK on Taylor & justified it based on Culture. Monte even encouraged Terrance to hate on Taylor. He pitted them against each other.

[@bkjane]

If that’s how Monte treats and interacts with love then what does the other side of that look like. He’s emotionally abusive, gaslights situations and does not take accountability.

[@kabbystevens5167]

Yes!!!!!

[@astinmartin413]

💯

[@symone6116]

He’s a terrible empath for sure.

[@christina5468]

This !!

[@nonyabizness5453]

Best monte interview so far. Thank you for holding him accountable with the hard hitting questions

[@riabowman243]

Omg this was the best interview for BB24!! You asked all the questions we wanted to know. You didn't sugar coat anything. You go girl!!! 5 star ⭐⭐⭐ ⭐⭐ for this one!!! You had him on the Hot 🔥 🪑 seat!! 👏🏽🥰🙌🏾🏆

[@Ms.Nicety]

This is the best interview I have seen of him. You held him accountable in a non-confrontational manner, and also calling BS when he tried it. Your questions reflected true viewer thoughts. Thank you for handling as such.

[@Birdshu]

She asked the hard questions, but the interview wasn't satisfying because he has an excuse for everything. He never takes ownership of his bad behavior. It's very frustrating.

[@Ms.Nicety]

@@Birdshu Agreed!

[@LadyJay882]

It’s great, but watch Kat Dunn’s interview of him too. She goes even hard. Bless these two!

[@Birdshu]

@@LadyJay882 Thank you for the heads up on Kat's interview! It was the absolute best by far because she didn't even allow him the opportunity to say that he doesn't remember like he's been doing. And she gave him great advice on learning from his behavior on the show instead of avoiding it like he's been doing. Also, I bet he can't get a moment alone with Taylor because Joseph the clout chasing leech has been stuck to her like glue. I wish it were longer. And I hope Tiffany sees it so that she can see where she went wrong. She wasted a lot of precious time.

[@KS-hi8vi]

Go see Katt Dunn Conspiring Bitches interview. She brought receipts. Two of the best interviews.

[@ForeverHopeful12]

Because he cared about her he wanted to hurt her, the truth is stranger than fiction.

[@kabbystevens5167]

Right!!!!! Is this how he treats his “loved” ones…wow!

[@ZZ-mh2nv]

Lol. The gaslighting is real

[@talltreeyeti]

the toxicity jumped out

[@QWERTYimpactboom]

The best interview. You held him accountable. The fact that his response was “I cared about her” .. that emotional abuse on his end. Yikes. Monte is a very dangerous person. Ladies beware.

[@JuliesCuration]

It’s refreshing to finally see an interview of Monte where he is being asked the right questions. If Taylor gets probed in every interview about this stuff he should be too…

[@abcabc4319]

The interview we’ve been waiting for! Even though I feel Monte talked in circles, you asked the hard hitting questions. Thank you Nicole.

[@marybrown6128]

He sure does talk in circles! I’m dizzy just from trying to follow his logic! 😂🤔

[@wilhelmina6429]

I really can’t stand anything about this man, but I watched cause I knew you would hold him accountable and also be professional and not come off as a “pick me” unlike others!

[@liyahr9358]

Thank you!! Finally an interviewer that asks questions we want answers to.

[@desiraes5701]

His selective memory act throughout all these interviews is old. Good job asking the difficult questions in a professional way.

[@20ice47]

Monte only has a selective memory when it comes to Taylor. He told another interviewer he remembers his conversation with Kyle like it was yesterday.

[@20ice47]

Somebody called that out on Twitter. I don't watch Monte, except for this interview because I know Nicole will ask real questions.

[@kiam6218]

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Girl you did your thing with this one!!

[@WhitneyBraxton]

Best interview I’ve seen with him. You asked him exactly what we’ve all been wanting to ask and didn’t let him avoid answering your questions

[@sandshrew-alola]

oh this lady is not playing with him 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lizziedaggs1136]

Nicole you did a great job asking the tough questions but also remaining professional doing so! Your interview with Monte is by far the best one of Monte I have seen thus far!!

[@margarethernandez9414]

Wow! First interview with actual hard questions. Thank you. Everybody else has been sugar coding them.

[@awaliciouss8326]

Monte is a punk, he knew exactly what he was doing

[@tracysmith8208]

Thank you for starting off the interview letting this black man know!!!!!

[@Eyejine]

Two minutes in and he’s already making excuses on top of excuses. He truly can not take accountability for anything and equates everything to the “game”. He talks so high and mighty when it’s like dude you are the most common denominator misogynistic man, be real with yourself.

[@TubeMySwag]

A minute and a half of the interviewer asking questions. And 13 minutes of Monte talking in circles. 🙄 Like bro, answer the freaking questions.

[@Professa06]

Someone needs to affirm that he looked like an ass in how he treated Taylor and until he watches it he'll forever be seen as such. It's too convenient now for him to say I don't know context, hence no accountability. Irks tf out of me

[@alliecat6626]

Thank you for asking him these questions.

[@kae1ine]

HE LACKS SO MUCH SELF-AWARENESS

[@TheRahwar]

This guy can't see the forest for the trees! He definitely treated T harsher than other women in the house

[@tracysmith8208]

Ooooh Sister….help Monte to self reflect..,..because this Brother here……your questions are on point!!!!!!

[@candacebrown2196]

Love this interview! This is what I personally wanted to hear. I appreciate your kindness while also asking the hard questions.

[@kenziep1025]

Finally some great questions for Monte!

[@dominique1116]

the questions!!!!!!!!!!!!! you ALWAYS kill it!!! yet another great interview done asking the questions the fans want answers too

[@cathyoconnor7483]

I’m glad you gave him tough questions.

[@alma1278]

Man finally someone that calls him out on his BS!! Best interview and so satisfying to finally see! He acts like he doesn’t know or remember what he said, glad you spelled it out for him!! Bravo!!!

[@EyesOfLoveSeekPeace]

Great questions. Horrible answers. He seems incapable of admitting any wrongdoing. He was defending his actions, not answering for them. Taylor dodged a bullet with that guy.

[@ShyAnn24]

Monte wanted to be liked by the house and used a fictitious narrative of Taylor to move into their good graces. He's lost in his own self-righteous ego and lacks basic self-awareness. Excuses are just a self-preservation mechanism used to deny one's wrongdoing. He refuses to concede to his pride and take accountability! 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@bpm81]

He uses so many words to say absolutely nothing, ughk

[@marybrown6128]

Wow! Thank you for not pulling any punches and addressing him in a straightforward manner to explain his behavior. I really liked him until I saw his condescending attitude towards Taylor. He needed that. We all did.

[@amysornberger232]

I'm at a loss as to how he doesn't answer your questions. He proclaimed Taylor was not self aware when she was and he is not but thinks he is. It sounds like alot of excuses instead of real answers. You did an amazing job asking though, but he just is on auto pilot.

[@Sakuraa3398]

Loved this interview watching those vids seeing Taylors treatment was very triggering. Them house guest had been very vile. And Monte used that and shoved a narrative that the viewers and other people thought she was cold and his downfall was bringing her and not respecting her. He got a big egooo and he is the one who isn’t self aware.

[@seliahh9451]

In that moment, in that moment, in that moment, in that moment, in that moment. Stop the cap! He still never answered why he circled back to Taylor's HOH bed AFTER he said he needed space. Just admit you wanted an excuse to to break it off. However, after she didn't chase after you, you circled back bc of your ego couldn't handle it.

[@TheRahwar]

Monte is troubled. He needs counseling.

[@HunderbarDachs]

Thank you, best interview yet. This dude is about 68% as intelligent as he thinks he is. I wish someone would ask him to answer clearly and concisely. I'm always completely bored & drifting off by the time he's halfway through his windy explanations.

[@DungForever]

He really can't take any accountability for his actions huh?

[@cristalr5289]

“My headphones” 🧐

[@queenrhonnie1000]

Love that you held his feet to the fire!! Great interview!

[@tairema]

I’m so glad you asked the questions the fans was dying to know how he would answer.

[@ijkMp]

That comment was towards him, not his Goddaughter ...

[@robinvolpi]

Exquisitely conducted, per usual. I thank you, once again, Sister.

[@r-n-btrina121]

Absolutely loved this interview. Very intelligently articulated & respectful questions but still held him accountable! ❤

[@melissaperkins5096]

This is the best interview out there with Monte. Great questions.

[@marieh-sx9py]

Monte, " you look so dumb right now"

[@rachelanne5917]

How does he claim to not remember how he was disrespectful (to put it nicely) to Taylor all season but he reminded Taylor how he and the house treated her enough to gaslight her into making her think their treatment towards her was deserved and made her cry weeks ago when she was HOH after headphone gate? Mind you her headphones in her HOH room.

[@antoinettedillon2768]

Thank you for asking the best questions in a BB interview that I have ever seen. You are fantastic! Many thanks for being real.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Best best BEST interviews. Thank You Nicole so very much. You spoke for so so many of us.

[@birdie3642]

Thank you for asking the hard questions! Most of the other interviews avoided these questions.

[@backto-il9ne]

Girl, YOU LIT HIS ASS UP! LMAO! I am screaming!!!!

[@kabbystevens5167]

This interview is the best!!!!!!!

[@tonyab5860]

Thank you for asking all the tough questions while maintaining your professionalism. As expected, he’s too arrogant to comprehend or take accountability for anything you mentioned to him. I was really rooting for him too but the misogyny took over. Hopefully one day he’ll see the light.

[@Dniebko]

Great questions, thank you!

[@DionneJanetJackson]

Great interview . But Monte ‘s answers were a whole lot nothing. Deflection instead of self Reflection and accountability.

[@nicolefuller4108]

Best interview! He was not ready!

[@alitacredell626]

Excellent interview. You held him accountable to his actions. He really needs to reflect on his own accountability.

[@seeofgreen2]

He’s still trying to justify his behavior. 🙄😠

[@astinmartin413]

Um hm😒 yep ...and he knew better than to say, what he "would" have done, if no cameras were there 😚😌

[@bliss448]

If you're a woman, make sure to steer clear of Monte!!!!!!

[@20ice47]

I despise Monte. I try to avoid anything with him in it. I watched this because I knew you would try to hold him accountable unlike Tiffany Mitchell. I didn't watch Tiffany's interview because I heard she was kissing his ass.

[@debrabraam4277]

Great job!

[@theresajackson976]

Excuses excuses you’re not who you pretend to be glad you didn’t win !

[@palavergirl7450]

Dear Monte. We get it. It's not easy to admit you were your best self. Don't apologize if it's too much. But kindly stop ignoring your actions that contributed to another black woman being gas lighted. Sir. I'm sure you R a nice person. Disappointed every time I hear your excuses.

[@beautywbri7540]

He dodged that colorism question

[@itssaje9115]

No hi hello lmaoooo just “so you said this this and this”

You made him squirm a bit! Good job👍 hard hitting interview!

[@simiphillip3030]

The best! Thank you.

[@4everShana]

Excellent interview 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 My thoughts and takeaways … - I think he believes he said those things because others were doing it and that was h is way of bonding with them in the game. And to create distance between him and a Taylor later in the game. -He’s clueless in so many ways but mainly not realizing his social capital influenced others to bully her in the house. Psycho P, Terrance, Daniel etc. -Colorism is clearly a factor that we all can see but he won’t until he takes the time to learn exactly what it is and how him using his mother’s nationality to disassociate from the black experience is influenced by colorism. -I don’t think he meant anything physical with the “much harsher” comment. I think he would have been more unfiltered but he didn’t want to have that displayed on feeds. -He played himself thinking the conversation was “3 days away”. Men often feel as though they have so many options. I imagine he felt he had game options and personal options m. And he didn’t value Taylor because he’s the type of guy that thinks he’s the “prize”. But the gag was our good sis Taylor doesn’t need his validation, she’s THAT GIRL, and she is going to invest in the man that saw her heart from day one, not the one that needed a million people having to tell him … 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@itstheref]

Amazing questions. You can't help his answers but amazing questions nonetheless. Appreciate you always trying to ask the tough ones.

[@HarperPolo]

"My headphones" 🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

[@KS-hi8vi]

Monte is very MANIPULATIVE. His conversations always steer away from him personally and he brings in other HG’s & what they did to Taylor. Or he talks a about previous Cast who understand a position he is saying he took. Whereas is that haven’t played the game cld never understand. This man will take 0 accountability.

[@doussoukaba6779]

[@mlmichael2791]

Good interview. Hopefully, Monte will review the feeds and his comments to and about Taylor. I don't think he's a bad person, however I think his behavior toward Taylor and comments he made about his ex girl friend indicate that he needs professional help.

[@hanantsegaye6317]

The best interview ever 😊great Job

[@scottnewsome5828]

Well… I had hope for Monte-I guess I still do but brotha needs help to get his emotions out. I think he has a problem with Taylor because of his mom. Just my observation (and personal experience)

[@saramatthews7159]

Word on the street is his black father cheated on his Puerto Rican mother with a black woman. If that is true, it would explain his vitriol towards black American women (not biracial)

[@nicoleodigie7218]

Interesting ...Why do th6onk his mom has any impact on his perception/relationship with Taylor?

[@scottnewsome5828]

@@nicoleodigie7218 because his reactions don’t match the scenario. All of his issues with Taylor seemed very personal before they really knew each other and he has an issue with her tone. From past experience, a certain tone brings back old childhood abuse traumas.

[@chocolatecapricorn9418]

He’s literally awful. Little boy energy

[@testfan1528]

Monte, own your sh*t!

[@KS-hi8vi]

Like his answers at Finale these don’t make sense. Maybe Monte needs to realize he acts out of emotion way to often. His answers prove your point. He’s always trying to get others to validate what he thinks is right. Others who have played the game who is the others??

[@londonparker1553]

I wonder if the cast knows Jasmine lied on Taylor about calling her fat ❓🤔
