And when I did the apology, this was the only thing that was a little confusing to me. You said it was a weak move and little boy shit or something like that. And and this is what I will say about that is that like and I'll show you the text messages from executives asking me not to apologize and let it like die on its own.
So I did genuinely want to do that because I did genuinely like took the time. It was a lot going on after that all went down. And it took, trust me, like no one was more upset with me than my fiance. And that was like a really rough time. And so I regretted it pretty much immediately. But it took me like those two weeks to sort of really find the words to really like
How do I accept responsibility for this and take accountability for this without trying to like shift it in any sort of way? And, you know, maybe I wasn't super successful in that, but it was not a mandate for me to do that. And it was something that I did want to genuinely do because... And I said it like, listen, I'm not going to sit here and say that's not me because clearly it is.
That is a part of me that is...
not a part that i want to access all the time and i work very hard not to access and so that was the only thing you said because like when you were saying the other stuff to share like in shannon's presence i was like well you kind of got to play ball in that way but that was like i was like i i think i really did want it to come off like i was taking responsibility for it and so well
I was too harsh.
It was precipitated by real things, but the stuff that I said, I was saying shit that I didn't mean. Of course I'm not feeling for John Jansen. He's a monster. That's so clear, but I just was digging deep to say the most hurtful things I could in that moment. It just wasn't something that I'm proud of. And it's like an unfortunate little asterisk now to my entire career.
I think the first host of a reality dating show that has come after a contestant before the show has aired. And that's always going to be on my Wikipedia now. And I have to live with that. And that's a bummer for me.
Yeah. Listen, amongst Bravo fans, my inbox was crazy. And actually, the trailer dropping has re-upped that. But the Venn diagram of Bravo superfans and people who want to bring back the word mongoloid is much...
i'll take her circle than you think it is um they were like people were really upset and i think with good reason and especially i mean you can't watch that season of oc and not like be a little bit of a shannon stan i mean i went into filming the show like a huge shannon stan because i that half the season had aired already by the time i got there and she was having an amazing season uh in part because so many of the other women were being such
assholes so like how could she not you know and yeah so I think it's interesting I don't know how much it will affect the show and and if that I regret it mostly because the show's gonna be really fucking good I definitely don't want to watch
any less yeah no and like well and unfortunately for people who are expecting to see conflict with between me and the women there is no conflict between me and the women it all happened after we wrapped in fact I think there are moments and scenes where I like connect deeply with each of them and it is like very genuine.
And that is, you know, it's, it's a small part of the show, but it's, you know, the feedback I've gotten from the, like the people who are cutting together these episodes, I start getting episodes this week, so I'm going to see it. But, um, is that, you know, they're happy with the job that I did. And I think like the show is going to be really good.
And I think it bums me out when I see people being like, I'm not going to watch this because I hate that guy. And I'm like, you know, we're watching, we're watching guys, guys, guys, you're,
You know, I did send her a personal apology as well, because, you know, inevitably we're all doing press for this show right now. I don't think I'm doing any like duo press with Shannon anytime soon. But, you know, I understand her reticence to want to take that at face value. I, of course, understand that. And I think like we can probably coexist.
I think we'll have to in the context of this show.
uh and doing the work for that i think part of the reason why they were like trying to be like hey maybe don't publicly apologize for this is that the news cycle is quick it over there at bravo and people i i'm sure she will find someone to be way more mad at than me in the history of the internet we joke about this i have never seen anyone in the internet go oh
I think it'll be whatever. I don't travel to the OC very often. I don't think we hang out in the same circles. I think it's probably something that I will be able to leave behind. Again, it's just going to be this weird asterisk thing.
And that is the thing is that there were ways I could have addressed the behavior that precipitated this in a professional way and not given her the opportunity to be you know sort of added on top of like all of the other shit that she has been you know been piled on her um and yeah well thanks for addressing
And the thing is, is like, I think I would have had I'm glad that we talked about it before I came in. I didn't. You know, there was a part of me that was like, maybe I'll just go and like bring it, you know. And but I was like, I also just like I wanted to know that this wasn't going to be like some sort of like ambush. And I wanted to explain myself to you specifically because like.
