US Weekly

Transcript

00:00Let's dive into some Bachelor stuff.

00:02What was your reaction watching Jen's finale?

00:06Obviously you feel for her, but what was Devin doing?

00:09What was this laughing?

00:10He was just...

00:12Tell me, tell me something.

00:14I have no tolerance for men who act like that,

00:17who don't even give just an ounce of empathy or respect.

00:21Granted, I don't have full context and know everything

00:25in regards to their relationship,

00:27and honestly, how that entire finale played out,

00:30again, I feel so sorry for Jen,

00:34and I just hope that she takes this time now to heal from that,

00:37because that's traumatizing.

00:40I had a great ending, and my season was still traumatizing,

00:43but the way that was played out was just wrong.

00:47And for Devin, as someone who we saw profess his love

00:52on national television every single week,

00:55and having these little moments where I felt,

00:58even just from my therapeutic lens,

01:00of, okay, there might be a little bit of gaslighting,

01:03a little manipulation here,

01:05but you try not to fully insert yourself

01:08because you don't really know,

01:10but then that showed it all in that finale.

01:12How he sat on that couch, this girl was crying her eyes out.

01:15I'm just like, there's not an ounce of comfort.

01:18There's no empathy at all.

01:20So that was really hard for me,

01:22especially knowing that, for me, in my past,

01:24dealing with people who had similar characteristics as that,

01:27that was scary.

01:29It was so bizarre that he didn't even try to be sorry.

01:31Like, he didn't even fake it.

01:33At that point, I'm like, is it ego? Is it pride?

01:36Like, what is it? What's going on?

01:38No way.

01:40No, because, not to make everybody think about me,

01:43but when I watched that,

01:46now, I didn't get a finale, obviously, with Paradise,

01:49because the world wouldn't be able to handle it.

01:52But, unfortunately,

01:55I experienced something almost identical to that,

01:58so it was emotional for my family and I to watch,

02:01almost like I felt like it was me

02:04saying what I've wanted to say on a public platform

02:07because that same exact experience happened to me,

02:10broken up over the phone out of nowhere,

02:12how to watch our engagement

02:15and be so confused,

02:18like we had broken up maybe two weeks before the engagement aired,

02:21and I think that was kind of where they were at with their timeline, too,

02:24and it just shows that men that are so unwilling

02:27to take the time to understand themselves

02:30and their emotion comes off so unempathetic

02:33to the other partner, whether it's intentional or not,

02:36do the work, so that way you're not hurting people.

02:39Both of you guys have lived enough experience

02:42to have done the work, I would hope so,

02:45but they've just chosen not to, so it's a choice at the end of the day,

02:48which makes me infuriated for her.

02:51I don't think that she should have experienced that so publicly.

02:54I was grateful enough to experience it privately,

02:57but if I was on a public platform like the way she was,

03:00I would have been experiencing the same thing.

03:03So I'm happy that she stood in her power and told him how she felt.

03:06Clearly a lot of it was coming from a state of emotion,

03:09but a lot of men in this franchise

03:13have done very similar things.

03:16They don't know what they want.

03:19They talk out of their, you know, whatever.

03:22Behind.

03:25It's at the expense of someone else's feelings.

03:28So I always said, I'm done being your collateral damage,

03:31as she should be, too.

03:34But it's what we sign up for.

03:37It's a risk that we take, but the last thing you expect is the person...

03:40I'm like, it's not a risk I want to take.

03:43No, you took a risk with 30 men.

03:46Praise God.

03:49It's a risk you take, too.

03:52It is, and even on Paradise, everything is a risk.

03:55But, gosh, it's just getting worse and worse, I feel like,

03:58the men's emotional availability.

04:01They just need to know themselves before they put themselves in that position

04:04because they're going to keep hurting others.
