Alright, so Juliana and Grant went on the Vial Files podcast together. They weren’t in the same place. They were both on a Zoom call with Nick, and obviously this has made the headlines on every entertainment site that Juliana’s feelings, she said, are most hurt by Latia. After she watched the Bachelor finale she said, quote, I think my feelings were most hurt by Latia.
I don’t think that that was expected in any capacity. When I think we talked between filming and even when this whole thing was airing, I did my best to check in with her. I thought there was a good relationship. But it seems like actions since the, after the final rose and moving forward have not been the kindest.
And that took me by surprise and my feelings were hurt for, were hurt by it for sure. And then Nick asked her if she felt tia’s actions were almost mean girlish. And Juliana replied definitely. She said, I think the first stab that I felt was when she brought my name up in the breakup. I think that was uncalled for then to continue to make kind of those jabs on stage saying she’s glad that this isn’t part of her love story and that she deserves a man who’s not so confused up to the last second I.
When Grant and I know the reality of it, and that was strictly a jab at me. I think that those things took me back. I want her to be supported. I’m not saying by any means that I don’t want her to feel like she has a girl gang behind her lifting her up because I can’t imagine what it’s like to get to that point.
Maybe have your heart and ego bruised. I. But I think at the end of the day, I had relations with a lot of the girls and at no point were they making digs at him or our relationship. Where now it’s like maybe that’s a platform that’s being used for whatever purpose it is, but it’s hurtful and it’s not anything I wanna surround myself with at any point in my life.
So this has obviously gotten turned into a black and white debate. If you’re team Latia, you’re screaming at Juliana, telling her to get over it, calling her petty. And if your team, Juliana, you’re saying, you go girl, and it doesn’t have to be, why can’t two things be true? Why can’t what Juliana said be true?
Why can’t Juliana be, feel hurt by what Latia said? And also, why can’t latia be correct in what she said? They don’t have to be separate. You don’t have to be like, oh, I’m Team Latia or Team Juliana. Yet 99% of the audience has to take a side on this, and this is what I don’t understand. Juliana has every right to watch.
She, she said, remember when they did the Entertainment Tonight interview? And I played the clip last week, the day after the finale aired, and Juliana said, look, I haven’t watched the finale and. I can’t really comment on things that were said in the finale. Well, she said on Nick’s podcast, I have watched it, so she is commenting on something.
So you can’t say like, oh, I thought you didn’t watch the finale. No, she said in the podcast she watched it. She has since watched it because at the time it was airing, she was backstage in the green room and she wasn’t watching it. She has since watched the finale and she has feelings about it. She’s allowed to express her feelings, just like Laia is allowed to express her feelings to grant.
The day she was dumped and on after the final rose. But now this is like driving a giant wedge between the two because clearly these two don’t get along. We saw hints of this when Juliana did speak to entertainment tonight. In that interview that I played last week, it was obviously, she wa it was obvious she wasn’t thrilled with Juliana.
And, but now that she’s watched the finale and actually seen exactly what she said and. Hearing some of the comments and then Julie and then Laia takes to TikTok and posts yesterday, some throwing a little bit of shade, saying, well, you must have done something. Someone commented like, oh, you must have done something right.
You baddies must have done something right? If people are calling you out now and saying that they’re hurt by your actions, and it’s just like, how old are we Here, come on in Tia’s words, come on now. Come on now. Like what are we doing, Julian? Like, Laia is, it’s, it’s kind of unnerving because Latia is allowed to express her stuff and lash out at Juliana.
But when Juliana and everyone’s like, you go girl, you queen. But when Juliana says something in return, like, Hey, this is how this made me feel. Why did she have to throw my name into the breakup? Why is she not allowed to feel that way? She’s allowed to. So I just don’t understand it, and I don’t think there’s a, someone is definitely right and someone is definitely wrong, but all you have to do is check social media and realize these people are absolutely losing their shit over.
Oh my gosh, Juliana, get over it. Or, oh my gosh, Latia, stop it. It’s just like, I, I, I, I just don’t get it. And you have to be like, if you are team latia, that means you can’t support. Juliana and Grant, like, why can’t you appreciate what Latia said and say, Hey, if this is the way she feels, this is the way she feels.
But I also am rooting for Grant and Juliana to move on, and I hope, I hope they’re successful in their relationship and I hope it lasts. I hope this doesn’t just fizzle out in a few months. Like it is possible to like Latia and also like Juliana and Grant. Yet that doesn’t seem to be. Anybody’s take on the internet.
Either you like Latia, which means you are anti grant and Juliana, or you’re Progra and Juliana. And I think, I think there are more people that can like Grant and Juliana and still not have an issue with Latia. But anybody that’s Team Latia seems to hate Grant and Juliana, and it’s just, I mean, check yourselves people, it’s not that big of a deal.
It really isn’t. Latia is allowed to feel the way she is. Juliana’s allowed the way the feel she is. You’re allowed to have some grace for both of them. No one is right or wrong because we don’t particularly know exactly what happened. I’m not saying Grant didn’t say those things. Latia, I said that last week three times.
I’ll say it again. I’m not saying he didn’t say those things to Laia, but we still d and I’m not saying. He didn’t say those things to Latia. The thing is, we don’t know. ’cause Grant still, even in his interview with Nick is basically saying, did I say I love you? Yeah, I did. We know that you all saw it, but it still hasn’t been addressed.
I don’t know why Nick didn’t specifically ask him. Maybe he did. I didn’t see the whole, I didn’t listen to the whole interview. But why wasn’t he specifically asked? Hey. She said the night before the final Rose ceremony, she said, you were getting engaged tomorrow. And he said, I know I love you. I love you.
I love you. The I love you. I love you. I love you. I, to me, it’s more about the, I know. If she said, we’re getting engaged tomorrow, and he said, I know he shouldn’t have said that. Period. End of story. That’s wrong on Grant’s part, which then leads Leah Laia to feel the way that she did the day she got dumped and the way she felt at the, after the final rose.
But we still don’t know if that’s exactly the wording that was used, and that’s exactly what she said. So we just don’t know. And I’m not gonna sit here and say, oh, Latia is 100% right. Grant and Juliana are 100% wrong. And I’m not gonna say Grant and Juliana are 100% right. And Latia is 100% wrong because we don’t know.
But clearly these two aren’t getting along. Maybe they’ll mend fences later on down the road, who knows? Doesn’t look like it at at this point. But I’m not gonna lose sleep if Juliana and Latia can’t be friends later on. But if people from this cast are all gonna now start taking shots. That seems a little petty because just say it with your chest.
Exactly. Exact. Express exactly what you’re talking about. Rather than just shading things with comments and memes and quotes. Just say it with your chest on why you have an issue with whatever it is you have an issue with. It’d be so much easier for the rest of us. And finally. The whole Netflix thing with the Love is Blind contestants.
You know how I told you I was dealing with the PR person who. We were going back and forth. Everything was great. I booked the Lauren interview and then they never returned an email after that. When I asked for others, I asked for Monica. I asked for Madison, and it just never got a return email except for them CCing me on a return email they sent to Madison’s agent, where they said, we’re gonna have to decline this interview.
And then I emailed right back and they said nothing. Well, I don’t know why. Probably because I was dealing with Netflix for the Temptation Island stuff and getting mark on, and that person’s email was@netflix.com. Now, I, I don’t know if, I don’t have all the, the, the PR person I was dealing with for Love is Blind.
I don’t have all their emails still. But the last three that I’m looking at right now does say their email address is@kinetic.com, so it isn’t Netflix pr, I thought it was Netflix pr, so I could have mixed them up with the person I was dealing with to get Mark on from Temptation Island. Their email is@netflix.com, but the PR person for Love Is Blind, is kinetic.
Which is the production company. So clearly it’s kinetic that has an issue with me, but they don’t have the balls to tell me what that issue is. So we just sit here and do nothing. Now I told you, you know, we’re just, I’m not getting any Love is blind people on anymore. It’s just not happening, and that’s their loss, to be honest.
Now, in terms of Temptation Island people, this person I’ve been dealing with has been great. Until he emailed me yesterday and he was like, yeah, well, general consensus from the cast seems like they’re taking a break from interviews at the moment, still trying to track them down. So again, just like I mentioned at the beginning of this interview, the whole poverty thing, what did I tell you last week?
Oh, we’re gonna have Temptation Island people on coming up and now, oh wait, now they don’t wanna talk. It’s like, this is highly, highly frustrating. I knew I was in trouble when they did a two and a half hour interview with Nick just because I had a feeling they were gonna be like, look, we just did a two and a half hour sit down.
We threw everything out there. Doing another interview after this just seems kind of pointless. I mean, that’s what I’m answering in my own head as to what they’re basically saying about wanting to come on with me. I don’t think it has anything to do with me. It does make a little more sense that maybe they are going media silent, at least in the short term because they just did a two and a half hour interview.
Like I kind of get it, but it sucks. Because I just, and yes, I asked for Shante and Brion. I was told Shante and Brion are not doing interviews anymore. So I mean, I guess I could maybe talk to some of the singles. They seem to loved going on TikTok and doing lives and sharing their stories. It seems like I could easily probably get Natalie and Kay on.
They seem to be easy to get because they have no problem talking. But the Ashley’s of the world. And the Taylors they don’t seem like they want to talk, at least in the short term. If you looked at either of their Instagrams over the weekend, they were down in Mexico, Ashley and Taylor went down to Mexico with Logan and Danny and Cayman.
They went down there for Ashley’s birthday, so they just got back yesterday. I hope. I hope we can maybe get them on at some point, but. That’s the latest apparently cast is not doing it. And I guess I could ask for an Aline Kay. ’cause I know they’ll talk and they, they don’t seem to have any problem saying whatever, so maybe I’ll try for them next.
But yeah, it’s, it’s very, very frustrating. Trust me, I am frustrated myself. I thought I was gonna have a, a long list of Love is Blind and Temptation Island contestants just lined up for the next probably four to six weeks, and now looks like I’ve got none of them. So I apologize, but there’s nothing I can do.
It’s outta my hands. Anyway, thank you all for listening. I really appreciate it. Follow me on Apple Podcast. Also rate and review, but you gotta hit play. It’s the only way it counts as a download.
