Since Riley Christian was a big part of getting people on the beach for the wrong reasons to go home, fans want to know his thoughts. In a recent interview on Bachelor Happy Hour with Becca Kufrin and Tia Booth, he reveals if he’s been in contact with Brendan or not.
Riley and Brendan Morais were friends because they met during their time pursuing the Bachelorette. Riley was vocal about Chris Conran’s and Alana Milne but less about Pieper Jim and Brendan Morais. Many fans felt that he was friends with Brendan, as were many others. So, they didn’t want to say anything. Pieper and Brendan eventually left the room with their tails between them, while cheering from their fans.
Have Riley Christian and Brendan spoken?
Riley Christian didn’t know the extent of Brendan and Pieper’s plans until he watched the show. He said, “I am just as surprised, shocked, and appalled as everybody else watching the show right now. I am texting people like, ‘What the hell am I watching?’” According to Bachelor Nation, he said the conversations he saw on screen weren’t in his face. He said it came out they were a couple during their one-on-one, which he didn’t tag along for.
Riley acknowledges fan’s outrage was completely justified. What disappointed him the most was Brendan’s comments about Natasha. Natasha Parker was pursuing a relationship with Brendan but felt completely blindsided when Pieper arrived. Brendan had reassured her they’d only hung out casually twice. When Pieper arrived and Natasha talked to her she found out he’d lied. Riley claimed that if Riley had known what Brendan was saying behind Natasha’s back, he might have spoken up. He stated that he holds his friends responsible. The same was said by several other cast members. The cast members were just as shocked at the news as the fans.
The Attorney Has Reached Out
Riley Christian said he reached out to Brendan at least four times and hasn’t gotten a response. He’s disappointed because he doesn’t understand the silent treatment. He wants to have a conversation with him and to find out if they can be friends. Riley said, “sometimes you do just need some time to yourself to think and make sure you have your head on straight.”
Christian said the silence is, “surprising and a bit disappointing.” He hopes if he does reach out it’s because he’s truly sorry. He said he doesn’t think he’s the kind of guy who wouldn’t be genuine. Riley said Brendan is under a lot of pressure right now, so he’ll give him the benefit of the doubt. Do you have any thoughts about Brendan’s inability to respond to Riley?
