00:00The statement was really important and I'm really proud of Peacock for standing up for its cast
00:06and also just the people who, you know, we're playing heightened versions of ourselves on this
00:11competition reality show. And, you know, the statement was not fully and solely for me. You
00:17know, I know there's other members of the cast struggling and going through some hard times too
00:21and at the end of the day it's a game. We're playing a game and I understand what makes this
00:25show so brilliant is everybody comes into the game with their own fans and people rooting for
00:30them. And when you get their player out, the fans player out, you're going to have some people who
00:37aren't happy. I'll say for me personally, I'm doing really well. I'm in a place in my life right now
00:43where I have support. I have love. I have what I call human Xanax, my little baby boy running around
00:48and giving me hugs. And I focus inward on that. This has been a much different experience for me
00:55than, you know, when I sort of went through this in 2020, right? I didn't have a support system. I
01:01was alone. I was isolated. I was getting help and I was struggling really sort of alone. And now I
01:08have my family. Everybody knows everything about my life now. I didn't have to sort of slowly come
01:15out of the closet. I'm already out. So I'm doing well. And in regards to Lisa, I think what I would
01:22tell her is just like, it was an honor to play against her. Like what a fun opportunity. Like
01:28I know I pushed some buttons by calling her a housewife. I now know she is so much more than
01:32that. She's an ultimate, she's a great competitor and was in my opinion, one of the best like TV
01:39nemesis. I had so much fun going against her. So I would just say it was an honor.
