‘I was always upfront and very honest’: Javen tries to defend himself after Love Is Blind UK
'I didn't pretend to be someone I wasn't'
Javen’s flirtatious behaviour has been all anyone can talk about during the most recent batch of Love Is Blind UK episodes, but he’s broken his silence on everything.
He appeared on the official Love Is Blind UK podcast to be grilled on what he did and didn’t do at *that* explosive cast matter, so let’s see what he has to say for himself.
Javen was asked whether he’d consider himself to be a “flirty person” after he was called out for doing exactly that during the Love Is Blind UK mixer.
He responded: “I would say I’m a friendly person. I don’t consider it flirty behaviour but equally if you look at Aanu talking to me, if you look at Sophie talking to me, I wasn’t entertaining them, I was just laughing with them.”
She then asked Javen whether he feels like he’s “been misjudged or can be misjudged” for his behaviour during Love Is Blind UK.
He replied: “I just think in the whole experience I didn’t pretend to be someone I wasn’t. I’m not saying there were other people who were pretending or acting, but all I can say is because I was very upfront and very honest and didn’t hide away from things, sometimes you can be too honest.
“People can interpret it in different ways. But I wasn’t going to pretend. If people are talking to me, I’m going to keep it real with them, so that’s all I can say.”
Javen also revealed that he was trying to decide between Megan and Katisha in the final couple of days in the Love Is Blind UK pods.
He explained: “We were getting along so well, but it got to the point where I was starting to feel more strongly for Katisha and she was starting to feel stronger for Kieran.
“So I think it was the last two or three days where we had a really date and said, ‘it looks like you’re going this way and I’m going that way, so let’s just end it.’ It was very nice and we left it on very good terms.”
