After all, when host Ariana Madix asked the couple if they were still together after leaving the villa, it instigated first an awkward silence between the two, followed by a heated exchange.
Prompted by Kendall’s claim he had been “trying” to communicate, Nicole accused him of lying, especially when it came to the explicit video of Kendall that was leaked on the internet shortly after he and Nicole left the villa. According to the pair, Kendall initially told Nicole it was sent to an ex-girlfriend years earlier, but JaNa Craig later informed her it was actually sent to someone on a dating app shortly before filming for the show began.
“Obviously, the video is not okay,” Nicole noted at the reunion. “However, I think if you say you love somebody in the moment, when you’re telling me about something, you need to be honest. Instead of saying it’s from years ago to someone you trusted—an ex-girlfriend—and then I find out two days later from JaNa that it was in the hotel room before you go on the show to someone on a dating app is crazy.”
And Kendall didn’t try to sugarcoat his mistake.
“I 100 percent should’ve been honest with Nicole in that moment,” he explained at the reunion. “But I honestly wasn’t ready. My life was turned upside down and all I wanted to do was to have you there.”
