Chris<\/a> made some truly awful comments to Jessica during their Love Is Blind homestay, telling her that he’d usually go for someone who “does pilates” or goes to the gym “everyday.”<\/p>\n

However, it appears that he’s not exactly concerning himself about what people will think of what he said, declaring he’s “not concerning” himself with such things. Yikes.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, Chris did admit: “I made some mistakes. I’ll own those mistakes. And I met an amazing person through this journey, so it’s hard for me to say I would regret the experience.”<\/p>\n

But he then somehow backtracks a bit over his words, brazenly declaring when asked if he’s worried about the viewer backlash towards him: “People are entitled to their own opinion. Everyone’s going to say what they want to say. It’s something I can’t control. I don’t concern my day with things that I can’t control. I can only move forward and look ahead.” Well, okay then.<\/p>\n

However, he also gave a message to any viewers watching him this season, saying: “I would just say I’m a real person. I’m not just a storyline. You see a few weeks of someone’s life and it’s cut up into certain pieces, and I don’t know if the full context is shown all the time.<\/p>\n

“I’m not a perfect human being, and I tried to go through this experiment the best way I knew I could.”<\/p>\n

Chris was also asked whether he thinks he was body-shaming Jessica during their final Love Is Blind, saying it “wasn’t his intention.”<\/p>\n

He added: “I think people are going to interpret it however they want to interpret it, and they’re going to have feelings about however they want to feel.<\/p>\n

“But that wasn’t my intention. I should have chosen my words differently, so I will agree with that.”<\/p>\n
