“When I met him, there were a lot of red flags that came up in a short meeting. Sometimes you meet someone and you might not like the way they dress, or it might bother you because it’s a little awkward. I found the real thing dangerous with his personality.”
Chrishell further stated that Blake mentioned that she made mean comments about him and that she doesn’t find it normal. He also stated that he was not like that on camera and acted differently around her. She shared:
“Anyone who knows this man wouldn’t want their friend to date him. Of course, he wasn’t like that on camera. He acted one way with me. Then he came on camera and flipped the script.”
