Okay, So I think first, 0:02:09.840 --> 0:02:12.000 just to start it off, what do you want people 0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:16.800 to know right now? I think the main thing really 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:21.000 is just how how sorry I am. You know, I've 0:02:21.040 --> 0:02:26.120 just really had time to think about the things that 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:31.600 have happened and how Hannah has felt, and you know, 0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:37.440 I'm very remorseful and ultimately just want to become a 0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:40.920 better person because of all this, and that's really my 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:44.320 main thing right now. But Jed, you know, we we 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.480 I saw your interview on GMA, we watched it. We 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:52.120 saw you on Afar where you apologized, and I feel 0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:53.760 like that that's what we've gotten from you. You You seem 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.200 very sincere. You seem very remorseful about the whole situation 0:02:57.240 --> 0:03:00.120 and how it went down, and we understand that absolutely. 0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:05.639 I feel like there's more to it. We've heard you apologize, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.160 but we haven't heard your side of the story, and 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.440 we really want to give you a chance for you 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.160 to just speak freely and tell your side of what happened, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:17.280 because I don't think anybody's heard it to this point, 0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.680 and Jed too. I want to say, like I want 0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.720 you to feel comfortable in the situation because I feel 0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:25.440 for you. Oh my goodness, like you have been through 0:03:25.520 --> 0:03:28.440 Like I what you did obviously is wrong. You know that, right. 0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.639 You've apologize for it very sincerely, I believe, and I 0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:34.240 don't even fault you for going on the show for 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.840 your music. I've been very vocal about this since the 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.200 notion that people go on the show because they want 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:41.920 to have a good time. Nobody goes on the show 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.400 thinking they're going to fall in love and then they 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:45.240 do and they're like, oh my gosh, this works. I 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:47.160 can't believe it works. So I don't fault you. If 0:03:47.200 --> 0:03:48.720 I want to muse a career right now and the 0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.440 Bachelor asked me to come on, I'd be like to 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:52.560 my husband, Hey, can you just hang tight because I'm 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.920 going to go on a Bachelor. So I don't even 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:58.520 fault you for that. But that's what I think. I think, Like, 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:01.960 like we're do you feel like it kind of all 0:04:02.480 --> 0:04:05.000 really messed up, really got messed up for you, like 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.160 just talk us through all of it. Yeah, So, like 0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.720 I like I told Hannah, you know I did, I 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:13.600 did show up because I knew it was a platform. 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:18.200 I knew that it had a lot of opportunities for adventure, 0:04:18.400 --> 0:04:20.440 and then coming out of it, you know, all the 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:22.320 people that I've seen seem like they have like a 0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:25.960 pretty amazing life. So that was all very intriguing to me. 0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:28.480 I was reached out to to do the show. I 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:34.159 didn't sign up, and I just really felt like it 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.279 was something I was supposed to do. It just landed 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:40.960 in my lap. And you know, once I was there 0:04:41.080 --> 0:04:44.960 and I saw how emotional Hannah was and how passionate 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.880 she was about the whole thing, it kind of hit me. 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.039 I was like, I can remember I believe it was 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:54.240 like within the second week that you know, this is real, 0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:56.200 This is a this is a real person. Though I 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:57.960 don't know her that well, we haven't had much time 0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:00.440 to talk, I can see that her heart is in 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:03.640 this and that was kind of the turning point for 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:05.520 me that I was like, you know what, I want 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.800 to really investigate this more, and you know, going forward, 0:05:10.000 --> 0:05:12.159 I could feel myself falling. So I wanted to be 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.120 honest with her, and if that meant her sitting me 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.960 home immediately, then so be it. But I wanted her 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:21.600 to know the honest truth as to why I showed up, 0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:27.680 and you know, going forward, you know, people asked me now, like, 0:05:28.080 --> 0:05:30.560 you know you were so honest about that, why weren't 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:35.560 you honest about the whole Haley situation? And in my head, 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:39.440 you know, I had more closure than Haley. I I 0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.359 felt like, you know, we had a conversation on the 0:05:42.360 --> 0:05:44.120 phone once I landed in LA and we knew that 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:48.680 I was stepping into a very unforeseen future and that 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:51.560 anything could happen. We had talked about all the variables 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:55.600 and you know, be that like if they wanted me 0:05:55.640 --> 0:05:58.560 to be the Bachelor or something or Paradise or anything. 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.320 Falling in love like it was discussed and understood that 0:06:01.400 --> 0:06:04.839 you know who knows, right, So was it That's a 0:06:04.880 --> 0:06:07.240 great great I love that you just shared that, Because 0:06:07.920 --> 0:06:10.359 then let's look at the IE love you right before? 0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:14.400 So was that like a goodbye I love you? It was? Yeah? 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.680 I really did care for Haley. You know, we had 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.480 a great time together. Obviously going on the show, there 0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:25.400 was not stable ground to actually commit to an exclusive 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:29.200 relationship together, like we just we never did that. So 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.320 I mean I did love her. I did care for her. Um, 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.480 she's a great person. I will not talk about about her. 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.599 There's nothing bad to be said. But in my head, 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:43.440 we had more closure than I think she did. I 0:06:43.440 --> 0:06:46.040 felt like we had more closure than I guess she did. So, 0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.919 you know, going into the journey, it wasn't crossing my 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:55.240 mind because you know, I felt like we understood that 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:59.839 anything could happen. Yeah, I mean, obviously, go ahead, Rachel. Well, 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:02.039 I just want to ask you this just piggybacking on 0:07:02.160 --> 0:07:05.039 what you mentioned before. When you left that note to 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:08.760 Haley and you make comments that are like you know 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:11.520 where where my heart will be and I'll see you 0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.400 at the dock, that sounds like you're trying to you 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.480 plan on returning to her. So if that's how you 0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.720 left her, how do you explain that? What does that mean? 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:27.960 I think? Actually, I know I was just really kind 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:29.680 of talking out of my ass. I don't I don't 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:33.720 really know why I would say something like that when 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:36.440 you know, I didn't know what I was getting into 0:07:36.480 --> 0:07:39.680 at all. Like I had not watched I collectively, I've 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.360 probably seen maybe three episodes of the show in my life. 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:46.680 I had no idea what I was getting into, and 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.840 you know, just I thought I was showing up for 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.880 a platform, and then I met Hannah and completely fell 0:07:53.880 --> 0:07:57.760 in love and I was like, you know, wow, this 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:02.720 was like completely unexpected. So but Jed, yeah, I'm sorry. 0:08:02.800 --> 0:08:05.920 So I'll just preface this by saying I don't agree 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:09.560 with Ali. I have a different view of how I 0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.800 interpret the situation. Sure, And so when you say I 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.640 too as well. Did not watch the show before I 0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:19.920 was on it, But I understood that the concept of 0:08:19.960 --> 0:08:22.800 the show, which I'm I'm sure you did too as well, right, 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:27.760 I understood that how the show works for the for 0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:32.000 the most part, I thought I understood, but you know, 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.679 it's one of those things that want even even if 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:38.560 you think you get it, once you're there, it's a 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:42.200 completely different situation. And I get that. I know the 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.320 show is about people finding love at the end of 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:50.160 the day. You did know that, right, ye? Go ahead, Jed? Yeah, absolutely, 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.080 Like I could see that entirely. But it's like I 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:58.240 had no idea that it would actually be possible in 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.000 that sett inc like it just when you when even 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.559 with watching, like I didn't watch the show much because 0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.240 to me, it didn't seem real, like when you watch 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:10.760 the edits and you see how people act and react 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:14.240 it looks like it looks fake. And I had people 0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.520 in my ear prior to the show telling me it's scripted, 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.200 that there's going to be people coming at you trying 0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:22.280 to fight you. On nine one, like, I had all 0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:24.559 these variables going through my head and I had literally 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.520 no idea what I was getting into. So I'm and 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.480 I think that's fair Jet, Like I will say, and 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:35.800 you know that I went on the show thinking it 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:38.360 was BS like I didn't think that I was actually 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.280 I mean, I did fall in love with Jason Mesnick 0:09:40.320 --> 0:09:42.720 story again, this is way back in the day, but like, again, 0:09:42.920 --> 0:09:46.199 did not. I think most people don't go on the 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:48.920 show for love, and that's the truth. That's my honest opinion. 0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.480 So I truly don't fault you for it, And I 0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.400 think that's interesting. I think a lot of viewers watch 0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:56.480 the show and wonder is it scripted? Is it fake? 0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.960 And it's not. But you don't realize that until you 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:00.920 get there. You don't realize that the emotions are real, 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.240 the feelings are real. So I feel that I think 0:10:03.320 --> 0:10:07.000 jed for me like I have been, and maybe people 0:10:07.040 --> 0:10:08.920 get mad at me for this. I've actually been quite 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.080 a cheerleader for you, you like, in terms of I 0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:13.840 don't blame you for going on the show for music. 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.120 When you came out with that information to Hannah, I 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.800 was like, heck, yes, finally somebody says the truth. They 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.120 didn't come on the show for love. So I actually 0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.880 really appreciated that. I think for me where all sort 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:28.040 of fell apart was. I know you say you didn't 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:32.120 want to tell Hannah out of fear, but when you 0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.880 had to have realized when the information came out at 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:38.640 that point, the fear is kind of out the window. 0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:42.360 I mean, so why then still were you sort of 0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:44.280 not being completely because even when you sat down with her, 0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.760 not after the final rows, before that, I feel like 0:10:46.760 --> 0:10:48.880 you were trying to talk your way around it. That 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:52.199 was one of the hardest conversations I've had in my life. 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.320 And if it seemed like I was dancing around anything, 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.040 it was simply because there were cameras in my face 0:10:58.200 --> 0:11:00.520 and I'm sitting there with someone that I wanted to 0:11:00.520 --> 0:11:03.040 spend the rest of my life with, feeling like it's 0:11:03.040 --> 0:11:07.440 falling apart and not knowing how to handle it. It 0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.560 was just so much. Did you not watch it? I've 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:14.560 I couldn't. To be honest, I couldn't do it. I 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:18.520 mean this has all been so much, and especially going 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.400 into you know, it was first aired when you know, 0:11:23.480 --> 0:11:26.360 right before I went to After the Final Rose, and 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.040 I was in my trailer so I couldn't watch it live, 0:11:29.520 --> 0:11:31.960 so I just walked in there kind of blind. Yeah. 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:33.480 I mean I think we saw some emotion. You know, 0:11:33.480 --> 0:11:35.120 you said I don't want to cry, and we saw 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:38.240 a few tears, But I think what we really wanted 0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:43.120 to see, like as a viewer, was your fighting for 0:11:43.520 --> 0:11:46.400 the woman that you love in that point. Do you 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.359 feel you gave it your all to save that relationship? Absolutely? 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.400 I mean I had let her know that I would 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:56.520 you do anything. I would come to La to Alabama. 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:58.400 I would have done like literally anything to sit down 0:11:58.440 --> 0:12:01.080 and have a conversation with her. And this is you know, 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:05.880 prior to or this is after the where she broke 0:12:05.920 --> 0:12:10.400 the engagement. Leading up to that point, she didn't want 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.000 to talk. She needed space, and I understood that. So 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:17.880 I mean I would have done literally anything. Yeah? Did 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.760 did your Your family had to have known about Haley, right, yeah, 0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:25.400 I mean they knew exactly what we were and they 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.200 knew that it was not a relationship. They knew. They 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:31.800 knew like every bit of it. Oh, because I assume 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.360 maybe when during your hometown that the reason they were 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.040 hesitant is because they're like, well, wait, he was just 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:38.040 in another relationship. Like did your sister or your mom 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:40.760 or anybody off camera say, hey, whoa, you were just 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:43.400 in a relationship. No. The only thing they were saying 0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:45.440 to me off camera was is this really? Do you 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:47.880 really feel this way? They were just skeptical to the whole, 0:12:48.720 --> 0:12:52.360 like there's cameras around, there's lights, there's people running around 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:56.400 our house. I walk in with a girl I'm feeling 0:12:56.480 --> 0:13:02.480 head over heels about and they were just totally blown away. 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.520 It wasn't like when I watched back on that, especially 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:08.680 with the whole Haley than coming out, I can see 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:13.679 where people would say they knew or it felt like 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:17.760 they were acting the way they did because of that, 0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.880 and that was not the case at all. Like I 0:13:20.280 --> 0:13:22.800 talked to them after, I was like, like, be honest 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:27.560 with me, was any of this because of that situation? 0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.680 And they it just wasn't. Well. Then jed, why did 0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:34.320 Hannah say when she was sitting with you in the 0:13:34.360 --> 0:13:37.439 house and all you all were discussing the People magazine 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:41.400 and Haley and everything with that. Why did Hannah say, no, 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.240 wonder your family was acting like that, because obviously it's 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.800 something that she felt as well. Absolutely, I think it 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:50.240 was just the heat of the moment and that discussion, because, 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.040 like I said, it was the hardest conversation that we 0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:58.280 have ever had and the weight of it. I can 0:13:58.320 --> 0:14:01.440 see where she would be led to fill that way, 0:14:01.600 --> 0:14:04.760 But I know for a fact that that wasn't the case. Jed. 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:06.120 Let me ask you this, and I'm going to go 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.120 back a bit because I told you, Ali and I 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:11.240 have differing views on how this whole thing played out. 0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:19.360 When I am like you, I came onto the show skeptical, 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.480 didn't believe it could work out, but was open to 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:28.960 whatever opportunity presented itself, whether that be love, whether that 0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:32.920 be friendship, whether that be a platform after this, like 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:34.920 you said, and I think that's how most people come 0:14:34.960 --> 0:14:38.760 on the show. I think what gets me about the 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.800 way you came on the show, coupled with the messages 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.640 that we saw from Haley, is that you admit that 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:50.200 you came on the show with different motives. You came 0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:54.800 on the show technically to deceive Hannah. Right, you just 0:14:54.920 --> 0:14:58.320 happened to fall in love with her as the show 0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:00.960 went on, and you were pleasantly surprised. Guy. So I 0:15:01.000 --> 0:15:03.440 guess my question, and maybe this is a burning question 0:15:03.480 --> 0:15:06.040 for a lot of people out there, how did you 0:15:06.200 --> 0:15:09.160 envision this going? Like? How far were you willing to 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.720 take it to grow your platform? Because that was your 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:15.840 initial intention to come on the show. What I had 0:15:15.960 --> 0:15:20.280 told a lot of people prior to going on this show, 0:15:21.080 --> 0:15:25.320 all my friends, was you know that I am open, 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.680 like you said, to anything that could happen, and if 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:32.000 it was love, I just I would tell everyone I 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.600 just don't see that happening. There's no way that that 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:38.720 could happen in that setting. I was open to the idea, though, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:45.000 and were you? Yeah? I did Haley know that? Because 0:15:45.040 --> 0:15:47.760 I just feel like everything that you've said has been 0:15:48.560 --> 0:15:51.080 I came on for the platform. I've never heard you 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.640 say that you were open to finding love on the show. 0:15:54.760 --> 0:15:57.360 So I just want to be clear, right, Well, I 0:15:58.520 --> 0:16:01.280 god knows if it still there or not. But when 0:16:01.320 --> 0:16:04.080 I had my interviews in Nashville, when they kind of 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:08.920 did like my hometown piece think when I was interviewed there, 0:16:09.520 --> 0:16:16.160 I can remember being asked if or if I thought 0:16:16.240 --> 0:16:17.960 that it would be possible to fall in love there, 0:16:18.120 --> 0:16:21.440 and I remember being just like, you know, I'm open 0:16:21.520 --> 0:16:25.280 to it. I just I doubt it. I just I 0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.800 didn't believe in it. I didn't think it was going 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:31.480 to be possible and my heart was open to it, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:34.040 and I talked to multiple people and said that I 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:35.960 was open to the idea of it. I just didn't 0:16:36.000 --> 0:16:39.640 feel like it was feasible. So and I think another 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.320 question that people want to know is if you came 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.640 on the show for a platform, why didn't you just 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:52.000 go on American Idol or the Voice I have? You know, 0:16:52.280 --> 0:16:55.160 I was it just landed in my lap. I mean, 0:16:55.440 --> 0:16:57.440 like I said, it wasn't like I was out scouting 0:16:57.680 --> 0:17:00.560 for TV shows to go onto. I was, you know, 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:05.080 I was happy, I was living life and I was 0:17:05.119 --> 0:17:06.639 reached out to to do it and it just kind 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:08.879 of lighted in my lap. So I felt like it 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.400 was kind of a god thing and I just ran 0:17:10.480 --> 0:17:13.719 with it. That's fair. Um, do you my one thing 0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:16.080 I've really been wondering because I really think about Haley 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:20.439 and this right she it seems like her heart was 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.800 broken in this. Absolutely have you talked to her. We 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:27.880 have ran into each other in passing and talked briefly, 0:17:27.920 --> 0:17:31.440 but I haven't had the chance to like really go 0:17:31.480 --> 0:17:33.760 into any of this. Where where did you see each other? 0:17:33.880 --> 0:17:36.159 We ran into each other at a bar, and like 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:39.160 what was said? Because it was this before after she 0:17:39.320 --> 0:17:42.439 gave her story. This was before she gave her story. 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:49.359 Oh right, So she came up to me and you know, 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:51.320 we're surrounded by people. This is like right when I 0:17:51.320 --> 0:17:55.840 got back from the show. I believe one episode had 0:17:55.840 --> 0:17:59.080 played at this point, and people were like videoing me 0:17:59.119 --> 0:18:00.919 standing there. I was trying to have some conversation with 0:18:00.920 --> 0:18:02.760 my friends, and she walked right up to me and 0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.840 she was like, you know, you weren't going to call 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:09.960 you weren't gonna like say anything. And I just told 0:18:10.000 --> 0:18:11.400 her that I didn't feel like this was the time 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:17.080 or place to have this conversation. And after that I 0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:23.239 kind of discussed with Hannah that she had been I 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:25.199 had heard that she was throwing fits at bars and 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:27.280 like throwing beer bottles and like making a scene, so 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:31.439 I knew she was obviously pissed and rightfully so. And 0:18:32.680 --> 0:18:35.119 I felt like that was the point where I wanted 0:18:35.119 --> 0:18:40.639 to like say something, and so to Haley. Discussed with 0:18:40.680 --> 0:18:43.240 Hannah that I think that I should have this conversation 0:18:43.960 --> 0:18:47.959 with her, and Hannah was, you know, kind of brushing 0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:49.960 it off and making jokes about it. But we came 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.120 to terms that I should just give her a call. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:54.919 So I did give Haley a call and she ignored 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:58.119 it and never called me back. Oh okay, So I 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.399 guess my question is, then, at that point, were you 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.480 afraid that you heard that Hailey was causing a scene, 0:19:07.040 --> 0:19:09.679 you know, in Nashville. Were you afraid at that point 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.920 that maybe she might do something bigger? Did you think 0:19:13.359 --> 0:19:20.760 she might go to the press. I really honestly didn't think. So. Okay, 0:19:21.040 --> 0:19:25.679 So you said that you talked to Hannah prior to 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:28.439 maybe I think and correct me if I have the 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:30.600 timeline wrong, but maybe a couple of days after the 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.639 proposal you told Hannah about this girl Haley. Yeah, no, 0:19:34.760 --> 0:19:38.359 actually I told her the morning after our engagement, and 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.080 we were laying in bed and we started disgusting or 0:19:43.480 --> 0:19:48.320 disgusting talking about our past relationships, and I ran her 0:19:48.400 --> 0:19:55.160 through literally everything that I have done, like my mistakes, 0:19:55.480 --> 0:19:59.479 the stages of just like sleeping around the people I 0:19:59.520 --> 0:20:03.400 love thought. I love like we talked about everything. I'd 0:20:03.440 --> 0:20:07.320 never been honestly so open about my past as someone 0:20:07.440 --> 0:20:10.320 or felt like I even could. I was just I 0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:14.359 felt like I could be completely open. So we talked 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:16.840 about that and when we talked about Haley, but I 0:20:16.880 --> 0:20:24.160 really gave more so my perspective on our relationship, and 0:20:25.840 --> 0:20:29.040 I could see now, I can see now that I 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:31.760 was not being mindful to how Haley was feeling. I 0:20:31.760 --> 0:20:37.120 was giving my side, my closure, my idea, but without 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:40.080 thinking about how she might have been feeling in the situation. 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:43.359 And you know, now I see that she was hurt 0:20:43.800 --> 0:20:49.639 and that you know, my behavior and words at times 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.199 were misleading. But like I said, in my head, I 0:20:52.280 --> 0:20:54.919 felt like we had said our goodbyes and known that 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:56.760 or knew that I was going to step into this 0:20:56.880 --> 0:21:01.199 unforeseen future.
