US Weekly

Transcript

00:00We are honoring reality TV tonight. You guys are both reality TV icons in the worst way possible right now.

00:09I'm so excited to see you back on TV. I know that back on Orange County, how does it feel to be back in the mix of the ladies?

00:17It's been a rough season. I thought it would go one way and it went the other.

00:22And I know you guys just wrapped the reunion. What can you tease from that?

00:26I didn't get many words out.

00:30Why do you think that was the case?

00:32You'll see.

00:34I know it has been a rough season. Do you feel like you got any closure with Shannon at all?

00:39I don't need that. I just need the lies to stop.

00:42All we were ever trying to do, well I was trying to do, was be amicable in the group.

00:47And I know it looked one way.

00:51One time I would be wanting friends, but one time I'd want to be amicable, the next time I'd be defending John.

00:59But it's just because the lies didn't stop.

01:02Which, by the way, I can defend myself, but I don't have the voice that she has.

01:07And she loves me, and she's not going to let me be lied about.

01:11But I'm very capable of defending myself.

01:15You guys seem like an amazing couple.

01:18You have a lot of fans, but there's also a lot of criticism about you guys.

01:22What is the most false thing that you've heard about you two?

01:25The hate has been overwhelming.

01:27And what's so difficult is that it's like we're in a vortex where all of the hate is based off of things that aren't true.

01:35And me having no voice has been very difficult.

01:40Lex feels the responsibility to try and help me, and then she gets criticized for that.

01:46So it's a tough no-win deal.

01:48We're in a no-win situation.

01:50But it's okay, because now it's done.

01:52And we can close that door and open the door to the wedding.

01:56Are there any regrets? Anything that was shared? Any regrets?

02:00I don't have a regret.

02:03Well, I think Lex regrets sharing anything about the videos.

02:07Oh, okay.

02:09And I'll restate that I'm the one that has the videos.

02:14And nothing has ever come out of my mouth that I was ever going to show them to anybody.

02:19That was never a possibility.

02:22The funny thing is I thought I did that off-camera.

02:24Like, you film for 12 hours, and I was with my girlfriends, my good girlfriends.

02:28You think you do something, and then it's like, oh, shoot, the cameras were rolling.

02:31I didn't even remember that.

02:32I didn't.

02:34I told the friends about them off-camera, I thought.

02:39It is what it is.

02:40But I don't really have any regrets, because the truth is the truth, and we have truth on our side.

02:44Going through all of this, do you have any empathy for Shannon?

02:48I mean, she has to be on a show now.

02:50Do you have to have empathy?

02:52No, no, hold on. Does anyone have empathy for me?

02:54What about me? I had to be on a show.

02:56Just lost my mom.

02:57Wasn't eating, wasn't sleeping, was barely getting out of bed.

03:00Filmed a show and still put on my big girl panties to go film with his ex-girlfriend, which is just as hard.

03:06I'm tired of hearing about that.

03:08That was my next question.

03:09I have sympathy for her, but at the same time, it's like I had to do a really freaking hard job,

03:15and I got beat down the entire season.

03:20I probably shouldn't say this, but Shannon is masterful at eliciting sympathy that she doesn't deserve.

03:26And I know I'll take heat for that, but it's the truth.

03:30On a lighter note, I heard Save the Dates went out.

03:33Tamara says she got a Save the Dates.

03:35How is wedding planning going?

03:36What can we expect? Is it going to be a big wedding?

03:38Are we just going to elope somewhere?

03:40Talk to me about that. It's way more exciting.

03:42It is so much more exciting.

03:43We did try to keep it small, but it's not small.

03:47Sorry.

03:48Tell me more.

03:49It is going to be larger.

03:51We were trying to keep it way under 100.

03:53It's growing by the day.

03:54It's just like, and then we can't leave them out.

03:56Then we can't leave them, blah, blah, blah.

03:58It's like, yeah.

03:59A lot of the girls got the Save the Date, and so we're super excited.

04:03We have a lot of things already.

04:06Our life together is so amazing.

04:09Everything is better than I could ever imagine.

04:12So it's all the negativity on this other part of our life.

04:16It's this dichotomy that's hard to deal with.
