The gloves are off! Fans saw Love Is Blind star Nick Dorka ask his former fiancée, Hannah Jiles, to not discuss their sex life with their friends during season 7, but now he’s saying she did just that.
Nick, 29, claimed that Hannah, 27, told their Love Is Blind costar Ashley Adionser about what went on behind closed doors between them.
"I would never say that on camera, and I guess that just goes to show that we're different in a lot of ways," Nick told Entertainment Weekly in an article published on Thursday, October 17. "Friends are supposed to be there to talk to about those things, but certain details in a relationship, especially sexually, I would never really be that upfront and forthcoming with. I wouldn't be on camera talking with Garrett [Josemans] or Ty [Francis] about something like that and bashing her like that."
Apparently, what Hannah told Ashley, 32, was not complimentary of Nick’s sexual prowess.
"I don't think a lot of it was necessarily true. I think I'm a great partner, but that was her side of the story,” Nick told the outlet.
Hannah has been slammed for her treatment of Nick throughout Love Is Blind season 7. When she pulled the plug on their relationship, she listed off several of Nick’s flaws. Nick has now clapped back at Hannah’s opinion of him and called it “completely false.”
"I am as intellectual as her," Nick explained during his interview. "I'm not the type to say, 'I'm better than you at this, this, and that.' Clearly, I felt like I wasn't an equal in the relationship, and throughout the show I was understanding and respectful and mature and sincere and financially literate."
Nick’s career in real estate requires him to look “at contracts and numbers, and help my clients, and serve them at a high level” and being financially literate is something that comes with the territory.
He continued, "I graduated from William & Mary with two great degrees — one of the best schools in the country. The things she was saying, I didn't agree with, but at that point, I realized there's nothing I could really do to save the relationship."
Hannah continually pointed out during their breakup that Nick was “disrespectful” to her, referring to the cast party where he had a conversation with Katie Bollinger. However, he said that Hannah calling him disrespectful was “ironic,” considering how she treated him during their relationship.
"I was raised the right way by my parents," Nick stated. "I was always told to treat people, especially women, with respect. The duck situation wasn't really that deep. I was just having fun with it, but she felt it was disrespectful. I had a conversation with Katie at the Halloween party, and it was very mature and respectful, but she thought it was disrespectful. I think maybe she had some issues or insecurities, we all do, but some problems that she had to address with herself and her friends and that were getting [projected] on me."
He concluded, "I was a genuine, stand-up guy the whole time. I am very respectful. I am attentive. I think one of my best traits is being socially aware and reading rooms. I am intelligent... Not 'delulu.' Some people did look a little 'delulu' at times, but not me."
