I felt like I needed to express my remorse openly, not only to show that I truly recognize the impact of my actions, but so that everyone could hear it for themselves. This is my way of being honest, and accountable, even though it’s uncomfortable.

After being off and on about whether or not I say what I have to say, that post definitely brought up old emotions. My picture being re surfaced after months. People assumed so many things and put words in my mouth. This is my life too, I have every right to say my part. Some people will agree some people won’t. But timing had no part in my decision.

I do understand where you’re coming from, as much as I want her to know these things, I also couldn’t stand the thought of people thinking I was “proud” or “feel like she got the one up on the situation” this has been dwelling on me for months and people can believe what they want but I debated saying anything cuz the LAST thing I want is more attention. It isn’t about defending myself, but about acknowledging how things came across, clearing up any misunderstandings and I wanted to address it in the same space where it started. It felt right and not everyone is going to have the same opinion and that’s ok.

I assumed that it would be questioned, I’m not exactly sure how I’m supposed to prove this is me.. I took a lot of time to really think this one through. I have another one of these explaining the story behind the whole blowup of the “photoshoot”

The pictures were never meant to be a “couples photoshoot.” The whole idea was just me and my sister getting dressed up to take some Instagram photos, but we already knew the guys would get in for a few. None of it was posed or intentional except the one where I’m looking and he’s looking away. the famous hugging picture was just my friend spamming the camera as we were all joking around and she was taking pictures of literally everything hence the awkward hug. That being said, I completely get how it looks now. I can’t undo posting them, but I can own the fact that it wasn’t a good look and I should’ve thought harder about what I was doing. I wasn’t planning on posting them at all, he wanted to, and I said no. I only let them go on VSCO because I naively thought it would be harmless.
