‘Love Is Blind’ star Hannah unravels the timeline of Nick calling her a ‘grenade’

Hanna Jiles And Nick Dorka stay one of the most polarizing couples to come out Love is blind season 7, especially after things got nasty again between the pair at the recent reunion.

During the Wednesday, October 30, special, Hannah, 27, confronted Nick, 29, about comments she heard him make about her appearance – including him calling her a “grenade.” While Nick tried to deny making the comments (ultimately muttering that he was “disappointed” by her appearance), several cast members — including Marissa George – insisted he said them.

“(Marissa) was the one who told me about the grenade comment and the rating thing,” Hannah said Usreferring to the system the men on the show used to rank the women. ‘She had known about it in Mexico, but hid it from me for a while because she didn’t want to hurt my feelings, which I completely understand. … At first (I thought), ‘Why did you tell me before?’ She said, ‘I don’t want to hurt your feelings,’ which is fair.”

The Netflix personality added that she didn’t doubt for a second that Nick made the comments, acknowledging that there was a clear rift between the two when they met IRL.

“I feel like the grenade thing would only be something Nick would say,” she said Us. “I knew he wasn’t that sexually attracted to me or didn’t love me all the time, whether he said it or not. He made comments off camera that I kind of knew meant we weren’t sexually compatible – like it just wasn’t working. And when I heard that, I wasn’t surprised, but I think it just pissed me off because I was so honest about his appearance.

Hannah is the first to say she was ‘cruel’ when she opened up about being disappointed by Nick’s height after the pair left the pods.

“I shouldn’t have done that, but I was just honest about it and he felt the exact same way, but he just didn’t say anything,” she admitted. “I think that’s why it hurt my feelings. If you felt that way, you should have told me.”

When asked if Nick’s honesty actually helped the two develop a relationship, Hannah said she wasn’t so sure.

“I think we just have very different communication styles. He feels exactly the same as me, but he does it secretly or tells his friends,” she said. “I’m honest. As soon as I met him, in Mexico, I thought, ‘Look, after the revelation I was upset. I thought you were bigger than me. I didn’t find you attractive, you are really attractive. But at that moment I just didn’t feel like it.’ He said, ‘Really? For me it was love at first sight.’”

She does admit that she would have “respected” Nick more if he was honest and said something like, “Look, you’re not conventionally the girl you’d go for, but I really want to make this work because I love who you are.” are. and I think you’re beautiful.”

“I don’t think that would have hurt my feelings,” she explained. “I think I would have understood it a little better instead of being so confused.”

However, Hannah insists she loved Nick.

“I really think I was (in love with him). We wouldn’t have stayed together for so long if (not),” she said. “Yes, we are not good towards the end. But there were a lot of great things about Nick and I don’t think you see all the good moments we had. We had a lot of endearing, sweet moments where (I felt) it could actually work. It was clear that there were just a lot more problems than there were good things and that’s why we broke up.

Elsewhere during the reunion, Hannah revealed she had found a list of Nick’s ’90 Day Goals’, including the ‘most famous’ person from LiB. Nick claimed the list was written “long before” he became part of the cast.

“I found the note about his 90-day goals right after we broke up. So we talked about that a little bit. A week later I thought, ‘Hmm, maybe off camera he’s different, when we’re alone there’s no cameras.’ So I invited him over to make sure if we are compatible or not, we are not,” Hannah shared Us. “And I never saw him again. … We talked a few more times and then everyone started telling me all the things he said behind my back, so he got blocked for the past year.
