In a fiery episode of The Traitors US, Maura confronted Michael for using the phrase “we got rid of” when talking about eliminated players, claiming he was acting like a Traitor. “Why did you say, ‘we got rid of’? Does that mean you’re a Traitor?” she asked.

In his defense, Michael replied, “Let me share something with you, Maura. I’m as loyal as a loyal—” She interrupted him, saying, “Why did you say ‘we’? We didn’t— the Traitors did,” reportsthe Mirror.

Later in the episode, Kristen Kish, a star from Top Chef, criticized Michael’s wording, noting, “You actually said ‘we.'”

His response was indifferent, “And I’ve said many things.” Maura then softly said, “Perhaps simply cease speaking.”

Social media was flooded with support for Maura’s courageous stance, as one fan wrote on X, “Maura not being afraid and confronting Michael is definitely my favorite aspect of the new season of #TheTraitorsUS.”

A different viewer stated, “It was at this point that Maura Higgins voiced what all of us felt #TheTraitorsUS.”

A third person added, “Producers likely thought Michael Rapaport would be good for TV because he’s so easy to provoke, but he’s actually ruining this season because he’s truly unbearable. Get him off my screen #TheTraitorsUS.”

Earlier in the week, Maura outlined her plan for The Traitors US, saying, “Well, I’m beginning by wearing a cape. So… I’m hoping I’m a Traitor and I hope to eliminate everyone one by one.”

If someone comes for me at the round table, may God bless them. It sounds a little like betrayal to me. I express my thoughts openly. I’m not really the type to stay in the background.

She laughed and said, “That sounded quite sneaky, didn’t it?”
