I think that you are missing the point.
Kimberly has had a past with this guy for many years - on and off - she hasn't hidden anything from Steven at all, but he has drilled her, and accused her, and made her walk on eggshells, like she has. She hasn't 'had an affair', which is how he is behaving, because she was on a break while in the house. She probably had the photos for comfort, maybe, or reassurance, or simply a touch of home. Either way - this guy is a friend of hers too, and she did/does have feelings for him, and this guy was also in her life, a whole lot longer than Steven. You can't just shut off your emotional feelings for someone in an instant, and certainly not in a high pressure environment like the BB house.
The footage we saw of Steven's behaviour towards her in the intial stages, I felt, showed that he didn't really give her a chance to figure out what she actually felt about him. He was full on, isolating her from the group at times, and going on and on about how HE see's a future with her, and how HE feels about her, until she cracked. It was the behaviour of a Sociopath. It was scary.
The time he said about how 'well he handled the situation, under the circumstances', smacks of sociopathic phrases and behaviour. He will make her life hell, if they try a life outside the house.
And now, his unreasonable reaction to the photos, was awful to watch, and I felt very uncomfortable about it all.
I hope she gets away from him as soon as possible, and gets the therapy she will need to recover from his treatment. You can't treat a Sociopath, because it's a state of mind, not a psychiatric issue. You can only help the victim........ take it from someone who's been through it.
