Why login into traitors?
It looked like a lot of fun. There is physical [and] Mental challenge, building relationships and confidence with people. I was very excited to play the game.
Were you worried about how the reaction of other contestants would be?
I assumed that people would know who I am and my father. Yes, I was worried.
How did you expect the audience to interact?
I knew that I would get a lot of mixed reactions. [But] When I was photographing it, I knew I worked hard and contributed, so I would be considered a strong player, at least when it comes to challenges.
Song is a game based on lying and deception. Do you think of your past?
a little. I was insisting that I do not want to be a traitor. if [host] now [Cumming] You had chosen me to be a traitor, I was going to leave.
We need to talk about the viral moment that I said that women are better than traitors …
I was deprived of sleep, fighting the disease, and I didn’t even realize that I said that. I just went out, and I never wanted to hide and escape in my life.
Some of your teammates were cruel to you. Do you feel that they were not friendly to please the audience?
definitely. Initially, I didn’t like [much as] I was in the subsequent episodes, so there were people who tend to do so. I felt Krishil [Stause] She seized an opportunity to ride this scandal, to get these great fans Ariana and “I hate Tom Sandoval” behind. You go, “You come after me because I am a friend with Ariana.” I am like, “Girl, I took a picture with her six years ago on the red carpet, followed on Instagram.” [Laughs] She was also not the only person in the castle that followed Ariana.

Do you feel that the reality stars are judged more cruel than others when it comes to controversy?
naturally. Your real life is run on TV, and because people are allowed to enter this part of your life, they feel that they deserve to know everything at all times. It is completely different from musicians or actors, where they live a much more private life.
How do you feel now after the audience saw a different aspect of you?
It is really great. I knew that, for example, what do I want to say? [Laughs] [I knew] Being in a more positive and enjoyable game environment, you will make people see me in a different light because it is less than the start of drama and more than playing the funny game and exotic that comes with that and its camp. VanderPump rules It is a completely different environment, and it is clear that it has evolved as we continue from one season to another and our lives have changed. It was, sometimes, a very toxic environment.
Do you think that traitors helped put the paragraph behind you?
This is what I really want. Two years have passed. I want to move from that and continue in my life.
Is it comfortable that there are now two people who are still considered “the most hated man in America”?
[Laughs] Two people. What do you mean, two people? [Laughs]
Well, are you happy because the audience is away from this feeling?
Yes, of course. I want to leave these things in the past. I’m sure there are still people who hold it – I know that there – but hate may definitely fade. Whether they are laughing with me [or] Ali laughs, at least they laugh, and this is what I love.
What do you think that Ariana makes you for the benefit of the audience?
I really didn’t think about it. But I am sure, because you know, you have moved, [that] It doesn’t really have [many] Ideas on this topic.

It was practical. It is definitely in business, and I look forward to moving forward and closing – such as, this is completely chapter. It is closed in my life, but this is the only thing that is a kind of [still] there.
Do you think you will always be associated with dresses?
I cannot predict the future, but I want to go forward. I feel Traitors People really helped me see me in a different light. It was great, and I am excited about people to see all the things that I would do in the future and we all combined to go forward.
Have you learned to ignore any online hunting, or is it under your skin?
That depends on today. My girlfriend, Victoria, gets a lot of unfair things for her, which I feel very bad. The only thing that was convicted is my love. I hope people will leave it alone. Keep it for me!
How are you with Victoria?
I was very happy [our] relationship. We work very well, we have similar goals, and we seem to be growing together. I feel very lucky and fortunately for her presence in my life. My rock was hung from me.
How do you make sure that she feels safe in your relationship?
I definitely understand, [given] My past, I must work hard, and I do. I am not the same person I used to be. I do not do the same things that I used to do. It is important for her to feel safe and loving. I also calmed down when it comes out. I don’t want to put myself in situations, as you know, do not look suitable. It is very difficult because people are trying to withdraw S -, [so] I just avoid these situations completely.
What do you do differently?
I was in treatment and developing much better habits. I still do a lot of contemporary meditation and I take a different direction in my life. We stay at home much more, and I love.

Rocky BacchilorVanderPump rules get a comprehensive repair with a new team. Can we see you with some of the former Costars on the Spinoff Valley?
who knows? I feel that the answer will present itself at the time, and then I will make the best decision that suits me and where I am in my life. Or when I and Victoria are in our lives because going in a show like this will inevitably include it as well. I really enjoyed not having to put my entire life there at all times and answering questions about everything I have done. Like, oh, you should talk about the last night and this day, and what you ate for breakfast and what you take for lunch. It is good to have this privacy, and we really enjoyed it.

naturally. [Laughs] Everything.
