“It was unbearable, I went mental”
Vanessa has broken her silence about the real reason she quit Ultimatum early, placing the blame very heavily on Nick and his behavior. She has revealed that she saw a completely different side of him after they broke up and didn’t want to “stay in that situation” with him anymore.
To talk to Elite dailyexplained Vanessa: “I found out that he hadn’t been completely truthful with me about a lot of the things we’d bonded over, and it was very offensive.
“I also saw behavior that made me really uncomfortable. Nick shared a lot about his personal life behind the scenes that made me feel in a place where… I don’t want to say danger, but I’ve seen this behavior before in the past relationships, and I didn’t want to stay in that situation.”
Nick has responded to claims he made her uncomfortable with his behaviour: “I acknowledged and apologized several times if my upset made her uncomfortable. She accepted my apology and made it clear I wasn’t the only reason she left the program.
“I truly wish (her and Dave) the best and hope they find happiness and kindness. I also hope they choose compassion over attacking the character of someone they just spent two intense, emotional days with.”
Vanessa says she felt like Nick was trying to create his own story, especially after he found out Sandy and JR had kissed.
She elaborated: “The live camera crew came into our apartment, and immediately he decided to distort the whole situation and attack me, saying that I was not there for him and that I was insensitive and did not empathize with him. I still do not understand why.
“But it was the opposite of what had happened in the last five hours. I thought, ‘Nick, you do realize we were on camera before, too, right? So you’re totally contradicting yourself right now. And if it’s shown, it will people to see it.’”
After his behavior, she contacted Dave and told him she wanted to leave, but clarified that it was her decision to quit, not his. She explained: “Everyone thinks Dave made me leave. It’s actually quite the opposite.
“I told him I couldn’t see how I could take this for three more weeks. I mean, this was just three days of living with this, and it was unbearable. I just went mental.”
Vanessa also cleared up her sudden exit from The Ultimatum, saying she told Nick she was leaving before her departure.
She added: “I really want to clarify that I told Nick I was leaving. And I even have text receipts. He was very aware and he knew a lot of it was because of his behaviour. Also, we didn’t sneak left in the middle of the night, it was like 9 p.m.
