"I never really thought the way that I would show up and play Traitors would be linked to one of the most darkest and most horrible moments of my life. If you didn't follow my story and what I went through and you watched me as the Bachelor in 2019 and then all of a sudden you're tuning in in 2026 - I had an incredibly difficult couple of years. I've grown and I've changed and I've put so much work into myself and into my family."
"I think the whole premise of it is when you find out that you find a Traitor, you are supposed to murder them and get them out. And instead of banishing you, and getting you out of the game, I would have rather kept you in it, to then see if you would flip on another Traitor."
"And I will always own the mistakes that I made. I will always feel guilt and feel this extreme sadness for how I showed up for certain friends, for people in my life. Also fans-letting people down. At that point, people had been sort of invested in me and in my story. So I did feel like not only I let myself down, I let them down."
