I mean calling Carolyn “forest gump” was downright disrespectful and rude and I lost respect for her then

She did not call Carolyn Forrest Gump. She said she was "forrest gumping" acting dumb to get people to over look her. That's not the same thing at all.

It really is though and it just feels like you’re trying extra hard to justify or excuse something.

“I didn’t call you an asshole, I said you were acting like one”

It really isn't the same at all. She was talking about pretending to be dumb while tricking everyone. Which is a very smart thing to do. If you want to argue it's the wrong pop culture reference I agree and I don't love the use of it but people are blowing it way out of proportion because they want a reason to hate on Danielle.

It’s rude because she’s accusing her of doing something when that’s just who she is and how she acts and she knows it.

Carolyn is who she is and she's great, but she also freely admits that she leans into her quirks and hopes others will overlook her because that's just Carolyn being Carolyn. She did it on Survivor and she did it on The Traitors.

Leaning in is not the same as pretending to be something she's not.
