Shelley<\/a> has broken her silence over accusations from viewers that James doesn’t let her speak or constantly talks over her during Love on the Spectrum.<\/p>\n

She explained in a video on Facebook<\/a>: “The amount of people on here who say that I do not have a voice and that James is constantly talking over me, and I just do not understand it at all. James and I, we talk to each other and we talk for hours and it’s not just him, it’s us having a conversation that goes back and forth like a normal conversation.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “It really bothers me because of course I’m going to let James talk about a subject that he’s interested in, and of course I’m going to listen to him because I support him. I like listening to him speak, and I like listening to him talk about subjects that he’s interested in. Why wouldn’t I, I love him. And while I’m at a restaurant eating, I’d rather listen to him than talk, because I don’t talk when I’m eating.”<\/p>\n

Shelley also addressed why she gets so quiet when filming for Love on the Spectrum, whilst James gets more loud, saying: “James gets very energetic around cameras and I get more shy, because I’m constantly thinking about how they’re going to portray me. I think that that dynamic, it ends up being even more exaggerated on camera.”<\/p>\n

She previously addressed how she feels about filming for the show in an interview with Reality Shrine last year<\/a>, saying: “I don\u2019t really like cameras, but it reflects what autism is like. It\u2019s like, \u2018How do I act when cameras are looking at me?\u2019<\/p>\n

“Because it\u2019s like someone else is watching you, and you\u2019ve got to remind yourself that it\u2019s not just a camera, it\u2019s about one million people or more, so what is going to be behind this camera?\u201d Shelley added.<\/p>\n
