“After an incredible journey, I’ve made the bittersweet decision to say farewell—for now—to this podcast,” she revealed. “This chapter has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life, filled with growth, meaningful conversations, and powerful connections. You, my loyal listeners, have been my rock and my backbone, especially during moments of controversy. The only reason I kept going with my head held high was because of your unwavering support and belief in me. I cannot thank you enough for being a part of this journey and for truly understanding my intentions.”
She also tried to explain that the podcast was never meant to slam the show that made her a household name. Among other topics, she used her podcast to comment on Artem Chigvintsev’s arrest, to explain how showmances occurred, and to reveal that yes, some pros can be mean to their celebrity partners.
To anyone who may have misinterpreted this podcast or questioned my love for the show that shaped me, I encourage you to listen to the episodes,” she said. “My heart has always been in the right place, and I’ve seen so many of your comments affirming that. I will never forget where I came from, and my love for that chapter of my life will never waver. Any negative perceptions about me in the headlines could not be further from the truth. This podcast was always about truth, connection, and storytelling—not taking anything down.”
