Maybe I’m misinterpreting, but when I watched the reunion, they were talking about the end of their relationship and Brittany pointed out Devonte lied about going on a work trip and then Vanessa asked if you all had reached out to Brittany about it. To me, it didn’t seem like she brought it up to call you out, but the conversation moved more in that direction.
That must have been the edit then, because Nick and Vanessa introduced the trip. And they’re like, “Oh, there’s this trip to Austin in February with Pri and Ashley,” and then we go into talking about it. I can’t, for certain, say what was said because the edit is probably different than what I remember it as.
What’s interesting is we talked about that in April. Brittany approached Priyanka and Ashley, and then was like, “Hey, can you tell Bri I’m sorry too,” and never approached me about it. So that’s why it was so interesting. Like, why are we bringing this back up? It felt like it was just to stir the pot, which is just unfortunate. I was like, Why are we starting drama?
But why wouldn’t that come up in the reunion when they’re discussing their breakup and that was something he lied about?
I think that’s the thing, we didn’t know he lied about the work trip. As far as I knew, the day after they left the experiment, they were done. So this is two and a half weeks later; I thought they’d been done for two and a half weeks. I’ve not talked to Brittany. We are friends with Devo per Connor because they were buddies. So for me, again, the narrative was just different.
Devo clearly wasn’t being honest with Brittany, and after watching the edit, I was like, Wow, he really has trouble being honest and direct with her, so I’m not surprised by this confusion. So I think the problem is on Devo. I don’t think there’s a problem with me. I don’t think that that’s my obligation, to get involved in their relationship when Devo is telling us one narrative and she’s hearing something else.
I think there is a bit of a disconnect between your definition of a girl’s girl and what the internet thinks is a girl’s girl. My interpretation of what you said is, “I’m ride or die for my girls.” I think the internet thinks of a girl’s girl as someone who puts women first in general, whether or not they’re your best friend.
It sounds like we all have different definitions, which we’re all entitled to, right?
Of course! And so my question is, thinking of that broader definition, do you consider yourself a girl’s girl?
I have my own definition. I’m a girl’s girl because I throw down for my girls. That’s what’s so shocking is that all my friends are like, “Where is this narrative coming from?” Because all of our friends are like, “You would be the ultimate girl’s girl in our group.” I know my truth. I know who I am, and I know my circle, my family and friends know me. And I was like, If my family and friends who I would throw down for call me a girl’s girl, that’s all that matters to me.
Having covered the show for a long time, I do find fans of Love Is Blind to be much harsher critics of women than men, despite how they feel about girl’s girls. Do you feel that way?
