"A lot of the times, sexual assault happens from people who have experienced the same thing and we don't know. I always try to dig deeper into why something like that happened."

She said she advocates for forgiveness, as many perpetrators may have also been victims. Twitter (X) user truthicon_ shared the video:

Here's what Mzansi said about Ashley Ogle's comment

Netizens were disgusted but not surprised after Ashley and Bonnie Bee victim-blamed Kay B:

_Lerumo_ said:

"I genuinely can't wait for this girl to get out of that house. I'm sick of her."

IsabellaShoyom1 wrote:

"The fact that her fans are trying to defend this and the other nasty apologist things she has said, lmao. Not even surprised."

Sydney_Luo posted:

"I'm glad they didn't disqualify her. She keeps showing how irredeemable she is."

asemuhlejaded added:

"It’s so sad that her thought process is like that."

lomzi__ commented:

"Ashley is a pick-me, and pick-me women are as dangerous as misogynistic men because they always try to excuse men's behaviour. Assault is never justifiable under any circumstances."
