I think it was kind of an inside thought that was said out loud.

Um, but you know, his words, his words did really characterize.

And, um, I honestly, from that comment kind of developed an eating disorder, um, moving forward.

I'm healthy now, but it was something that I had never experienced before.

I've always been very self-assured, very confident in my body.

Um, you know, I think there's insecurities like anybody, but

with this experiment being already so emotionally heightened um that really threw me into an insecure space watching it back and hearing his his actual interviews was very disheartening it was really hurtful you know again inside thoughts being said out loud that didn't need to be said and it made me really sad that instead of this being about our connection it became about my appearance and

And it opened the door for the rest of the world to comment further than they already will that comes with scrutiny of being on a show like this.

You know, I'm sad you guys didn't get to see more of our journey in the pods, you know, because I really wanted people to see who I fell in love with.

I would say in the pods, there was no inside voice coming out.

I would say it was, you know, very standard conversations.

It was very...

In the pods, I didn't fall in love with a monster.

And that's something that I really want to make clear here.

I know he's been getting a lot of hate.

In the pods, he was honest in a way that felt very normal, right?

I would say we're both pretty transparent and honest people.

So there was nothing that kind of raised a red flag in the pods.

Um...

You know, I really don't think we did.
