Typically, an eliminated contestant stays in Los Angeles for a couple of days after leaving the Big Brother house for exit interviews and other production logistics.

However, Rylie, 27, left California almost immediately after walking off his interview with host Julie Chen Moonves, according to a show insider.

“Rylie flew out to Oklahoma shortly after the eviction to go be with family. They usually keep contestants a little longer.

“He has the full support of his family, and even some of the evicted house guests from this season have reached out to support him.

“Zach [Cornell] and Zae [Frederich] are being good friends and checking in on him.

“Everyone thinks the reaction to Rylie has been widely blown out of proportion,” the source claimed.

Rylie was photographed at what appeared to be his ranch in Oklahoma when Zae Frederich, who was the first season 27 contestant to be evicted, shared a snap of their FaceTime convo together.

In the photo, Rylie appeared in good spirits as he showed a slight smile for the camera with acres of greenery behind him.

While Rylie was still in the Big Brother house, he was defended from the outrage coming from the outside world by his mom, Michelle Jeffries.

His mom said in an interview with TMZ: “He’s not some obsessive stalker-type person like everyone is saying.

“He’s got a great heart and wears it on his sleeve. They’re stuck in a house with no TV, no radios, no phones.

“They’re getting to know each other on a personal level we don’t understand.”

She added: “If Rylie’s happy, we’re happy and that’s all that matters to me.

“If Katherine] is not happy, they will figure that out on their own. Their relationship is their decision.”

MARRIED TO DRAMA

All season, fans have been outraged about feeling “uncomfortable” with the way Rylie has been talking to his girlfriend in the house, Katherine Woodman, since their showmance began to heat up last month.

As seen during an “intense” clip from the livestreams, Rylie and Katherine were seen having an intimate chat about their romance.

The lovebirds spoke about how things would progress on the outside, with Rylie even vowing that he would marry Katherine.

Katherine then proposed that the two could break up, to which Rylie pushed that them splitting is not an option, and the two will definitely be “married.”

His persistence resulted in a variety of uncomfortable facial expressions from Katherine – which fans noticed and had begged producers that it’s time to step in.

“Rylie is an a**hole and I’m tired. Katherine doesn’t owe him s**t. Production please do something,” one person begged.

Another said: “Rylie is a controlling person and gets upset at the sight of Kat talking game with anyone but him. He gaslights her and treats her like s**t whenever he’s in a bad mood. I need him gone.”

Viewers got their wish, as Rylie was eliminated last Thursday in a shocking blindside after being betrayed by his closest allies.

Going up against Morgan Pope on the chopping block, Rylie was sent packing after a nail-biting 5-4 vote.

Big Brother airs on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays at 8 pm EST on CBS – with live feeds airing 24/7 on Paramount+ and PlutoTV.
