Why enter the traitors?

It looked so fun. There is a physical [and] Mental challenge, building relationships and trust with people. I was so excited to play the game.

Did you worry how the other competitors would react you?

I assumed that people would know who I was for me. Yes, I was worried.

How did you expect the public to react?

I knew I would get a lot of mixed reactions. [But] When I was shooting it, I realized that I was working very hard and contributed, so I would consider myself a strong player, at least as far as challenges were concerned.

Traitors is a game built on lies and fraud. Did you make you think about your past?

A little. I was adamant that I didn’t want to be a traitor. If [host] Alan [Cumming] He would choose me to be a traitor, I would leave.

We need to talk about the viral moment when you said that women were better fraudsters instead of traitors …

I was devoid of sleep, fighting the disease, and I didn’t even realize that I said it. I just came out and never wanted to hide and run so badly in my life.

Some of your castles were difficult for you. Do you feel that they were unfriendly to calm the public?

Definitely. I was not so liked as initially as [much as] I was in the short episodes, so there were people inclined in it.

Do you feel that reality stars are judged more group than others when it comes to dispute?

Of course. Your real life is played on television and because people are released in this part of your life, they feel as if they deserve to know everything at any time. It is much different than the musicians or actors, where they lead a much worse life.

How does she feel now that the public has seen another country from you?

She really feels great. I knew that what I wanted to say?

Do you think the traitors have helped to put the scandal behind you?

That’s what I really want. Two years have passed; I want to continue from this and continue with my life.

Is it a relief that there can now be only about two people who still consider you the “most hated person in America”?

[Laughs] Two people. What do you mean, two people? [Laughs]

Well, are you happy that the public is moving away from this mood?

Yes, of course. I want to leave these things in the past. I’m sure there are still people who behave in this – I know there is – but hatred has died for sure. Whether they laugh with me [or] I laugh, at least they laugh and that’s what I love.

What do you think Ariana does that you earn goodness to the public?

I really didn’t think about it. But I’m sure because you know, she continued, [that] She actually doesn’t [many] Think about it.

You both still own a home together. What is the status of selling this?

It was a process. It is definitely in the works and I look forward to continuing and close – as a truly complete closure – this chapter. In my life is closed but this is the only thing that is something like [still] there.

Do you think you will always be tied to the scandal?

I can’t predict the future, but I want to move on. Feel like Traitors He really helped people see me in different light. It was amazing and I am excited for people to see all the things I will do in the future and all of us collectively move on.

Have you learned to ignore online trolling or does it fall under your skin?

It depends on the day. My girlfriend Victoria gets many things that are unfair to her, which I feel really bad about. The only thing that is guilty is to love me. I wish people would leave her alone. Save it for me!

How is it going with Victoria?

I was extremely happy in [our] connection. We work very well, we have similar goals and we feel that we can really grow together. I feel so happy and lucky to have it in my life. She was my rock and crashed by me.

How to make sure she feels safe in your relationship?

I definitely understand, [given] My past that I have to work hard and do it. I’m not the same person I was before. I don’t do the same things I did before. It is important for her to feel safe and loved. I also calmed down when it came to going out. I don’t want to get into situations that, you know, don’t look appropriate. It is also difficult because people are trying to download s-, [so] I just avoid these situations completely.

What else do you do differently?

I have been to therapy and develop much better habits. I still do a very guided meditation and take a different direction in my life. We stay at home much more, which I love. I’m so much healthier. We work together, we go on hikes. My day of the day is so different than before.

VanderPump rules are a major overhaul with a new cast. Can we see you with some of your previous colleagues in the Spinof Valley?

Who knows? I have the feeling that the answer will be presented at this time and then I will make the best decision that fits me and where I am in my life. Or where Victoria and I are in our lives, because to go to such a show, which would inevitably include her. I really liked not to have to put my whole life there at any time and answer questions about everything I did. Like, oh, you have to talk about last night and that day, and what you ate for breakfast and what you have for lunch. It feels nice to have this privacy and we both really enjoyed it.
