In his interview with Emma Willis after coming out of the house, Ryan gracefully said when asked if he could forgive the shamed actress: "If this person has an issue and a misunderstanding, who am I to sit there and judge? Forgiveness is a big thing so if she wants forgiveness and it makes her feel better than I would give her that. I think she’s been punished enough by the public. "Following his win, Ryan also took to social media to thank his fans for their support. He tweeted: "Absolutely overwhelmed with the love and support I've received, you've no idea how much it means to me."
