He talked about how this worked in another comment, and an unaired date with Hayley.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I had a date with Hayley at a wine bar and was asked to taste test repeatedly. But there I had disclosed my sobriety, which I hadn\u2019t planned on doing prior, but was put in a tough situation to explain myself. I\u2019m more of a private person, but I thought after the show how I could potentially help people, so I decided to be a recovery advocate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>For all the latest reality TV cast member news, scandals, gossip and updates \u2013 like\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Reality Shrine<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/realityshrineofficial?rdid=TzQu2kEd2cUqU4rD&amp;share_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fshare%2F14zX5cKubf%2F#\"><span class=\"s1\"><b><i>Facebook<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This makes so much more sense<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":249734284,"featured_media":59064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1358],"tags":[1438,2118],"class_list":["post-59058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-netflix","tag-the-ultimatum"],"acf":[],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/07\/20\/the-ultimatums-edris-exposes-real-story-behind-jessica-grace-proposal-and-unaired-scene\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"The Ultimatum&#8217;s Edris exposes &#8216;real&#8217;
