Netflix's "Squid Game: The Challenge" Villain Is Innocent? Burger Thief Responds To Hate

Netflix‘s reality show spin-off of the Korean thriller series Squid Game, Squid Game: The Challenge, recently premiered. While there are no best friends literally stabbing each other in the back or killing, there are “villains,” according to the internet.

Player 097, Jada, dubbed by the internet as the “Hamburglar,” is one of these villains.

She has garnered attention for “stealing” a hamburger that Player 198, Husnain, won. In one episode, Husnain won burgers and fries, and many contestants rushed over, grabbing the foods.

Jada stood out, though, as she took an entire burger off the tray. Netizens were upset at her, calling her out as a “hypocrite” because previously, she frowned upon Player 161, Lorenzo, for eating multiple plates of food in an early episode.

She was the main one complaining about 161 taking two canisters of food but then gon snatch up a whole burger that wasn’t even hers like miss ma’am! #SquidGame #SquidGameTheChallenge 💀 https://t.co/7UzNK2a85H

So, Jada has now spoken up in her own defense. She explained that she and Lorenzo are actually friends! They were in a secret alliance.

As for #burgergate, Jada revealed that Husnain actually couldn’t eat the burger because he is Muslim, and the burger was not Halal.

Jada also shared a video, giving an in-depth explanation. She explained that she only ate a bite because she still felt guilty. So, she shared it with others.
