LITTLE People star Audrey Roloff has faced a big uproar, after fans uncovered her apparent friendship with a racist reality show contestant.
Audrey posted a bunch of photos from her recent trip to Hawaii, as she took part in the Young Living retreat for optimal sellers.
It turns out disgraced former Big Brother star Aaryn Gries was there as well.
The one-time house guest was evicted from the show’s 15th season, in 2013, after making several derogatory remarks about African American, Asian American and gay members of the house.
While it’s not clear how long the two reality stars have known each other, both are salespeople for Young Living Essential oils.
And both met up in Maui as part of a reward vacation for top sellers.

Audrey won the Hawaii trip and brought husband Jeremy Roloff and kids Ember, Bodhi, and Radley.
As she explained on Instagram: “This past week we have been here in Maui for the Young Living Diamond retreat.
“We won this trip for achieving a certain rank in the company – so here we are on Young Living’s dime soaking up the sun with new friends and old + our three littles in tow.
“Such a freakin gift!!!”

But fans on Reddit were shocked and saddened to see Audrey associating with Aaryn.
“Aaryn just lost all her friends, and is arguably and even worse person than Audrey,” one person shared. “Makes sense they would buddy up on a YL trip.”
Another added: “I’ve heard nothing but bad things about (Aaryn). Why do people give sh***y people a platform?”
And one fan held little back against Aaryn: “This b***h is a known racist and a super c**t, so it makes sense Audrey is friends with her!”
AARYN’S REMARKS
After her ejection from Big Brother, Aaryn was confronted with some of the controversial comments she made, including saying to to one black houseguest, “Be careful what you say in the dark, might not get to see the b***h” and yelling at an Asian American contestant, saying, “Shut up and go make some rice.”
Addressing her remarks at the time, she said: “I feel horrible.
“In Texas, we say things that … sometimes we joke and we don’t mean it. And I really feel bad that this is how it’s being seen and how I’ve come across to people. I don’t want to be seen like that.”
AUDREY’S CONTROVERSY
Audrey, meanwhile, hasn’t escaped her own controversies, having recently been slammed for trying to sell her used, leftover clothes to fans at high prices, as opposed to donating them to people in need.
The star shared a link to her personal Poshmark page, populated by more than 400 items of old clothing and accessories she is trying to unload.
Items offered at Audrey’s Closet range from $5 for a pair of used sandals or a sports bra, to over $100 for a jacket or one-piece swimsuit.
But fans on Reddit were fixated on why Audrey needs to sell the hand-me-downs at all, instead of donating them to a charity.
“Imagine not donating used clothing to a woman’s shelter or something when they already have so much ]money],” one person noted.
Another followed: “Kinda surprising that Audrey doesn’t believe in charitable donations, especially when most of them were probably free anyways??”

One fellow fan found the offerings “ironic coming from such a religious family.”
And another had issues with what exactly is being sold: “So many sports bras… and one from college… people could buy the bra that she potentially met Jeremy [Roloff] in! That’s only going to increase in value!”
