“Love Is Blind” star Paul Peden isn’t happy with how Vanessa Lachey (Vanessa Minnillo) hosted the show’s season 4 reunion. Paul claimed in an interview that he wasn’t thrilled about the questions that she gave to him, including one about his now-ex and co-star Micah Lussier.
“I thought that I detected a little bit of personal bias there. I’m not sure what it was,” Paul told PEOPLE in an interview that was published on Monday, April 17. “And I guess she’s within her right to drill on personal bias, but she shouldn’t present as being an objective neutral party if that’s the case. But I think it’s fair to continue follow-up questions. But if we’re going to go that route, we need to be able to have a full-length conversation.”
However, it seemed like Vanessa had apologized to Paul following the reunion. The reality TV star took to Instagram Stories to share a picture of a bouquet of flowers perched in front of a window overlooking the Hollywood Tower. “Thanks for acknowledging the accidental misleading,” he said while tagging Vanessa.
Paul Peden hinted Vanessa Lachey apologized to him.
During the reunion, Paul was confronted regarding his post-wedding comments about Micah. At the time, he said that he couldn’t picture her as a mother and Micah claimed that it was the “worst thing” he could say about her.
“I was like, ‘F**k man.’ They kept drilling, drilling it down on me,” Paul told Entertainment Tonight in the post-taping interview. “I think I said my piece. I think Vanessa might have had a little bit of personal bias in that scenario or at least I kind of detected that. I don’t know. But that’s just my assumption based on how she continued to drill into it after I gave my full rationale for why I felt the way that I did.”
Paul noted that he felt he “owned as much as I could” of his responsibility in the exchange. “I took responsibility for the full capacity in which I think I was obligated to,” he said.
He added that he was “definitely sweating” when talk turned to his split from Micah. “I think it was extremely reductive in the way that they dismissed all nuance and complexity in why I said no,” he shared of his altar moment.
“It was framed as, the reason that I said no was that she wasn’t able to fill a mothering role and a nurturing atmosphere and whatever. That was one piece of the puzzle. It was incredibly complex, but that was the answer. That was the reason why. And that’s just a fraction of the story,” he further divulged.
