The tension between The Traitors winner Meryl Williams and her former co-star Maddy Smedley has reached boiling point, with the pair exchanging heated words in a very public fallout.
Williams, who triumphed in the BBC's gripping reality show, has found herself at odds with Smedley after a series of cryptic social media posts and thinly veiled jabs. Fans of the show are now speculating about the root of their feud.
What Sparked the Feud?
Rumours suggest the rift began during filming, with tensions simmering long after the cameras stopped rolling. Williams, known for her strategic gameplay, allegedly clashed with Smedley over trust issues—a central theme of the show.
Insiders claim the drama escalated when Smedley made comments about Williams' victory, questioning the legitimacy of her win. Williams, not one to back down, fired back with a series of pointed remarks on Instagram.
Social Media War
The feud spilled onto social media, where both women have sizable followings. Smedley posted a cryptic message about "fake allies," which many interpreted as a dig at Williams. The Traitors winner responded with a defiant post, writing: "Some people can't handle the truth—or a winner."
Fans have taken sides, with some defending Williams' gameplay while others sympathise with Smedley's frustrations. The online debate shows no signs of cooling off.
What’s Next?
With neither woman willing to back down, the feud could overshadow their post-show careers. Williams, who has been praised for her performance, may face challenges if the drama continues. Meanwhile, Smedley’s outspoken nature has earned her both supporters and critics.
Will they reconcile, or is this feud here to stay? Only time will tell.
