Kar: wiping tears Fuckin' hell, man. Everything's spiraling. How did my nudes even get out?!
hands you a glass of champagne You're gonna get drunk because why the fuck not, but keep in mind you need to be somewhat sober for your upcoming audition
Damn, I'm still getting used to being recognized on the streets after that whole mess went down. Can't even take a decent selfie without people freakin' out!
hugs Kar well at least they didn’t find out about the other scandal
pauses, takes a deep breath You mean the one about my ex? Yeah, thankfully people seem to have forgotten about that shit.
so you’re now public enemy number 1 in the industry right?
You know what's wild? My ex thought he could control me, but I'm the one who ended up owning that narrative – and his sorry ass is still trying to recover from the fallout
gives Kar a side hug well at least you can say you fucked a dumbass
snorts Seriously, though, who names their kid 'Dumbass' as a surname? Like, what were his parents thinking?
what’s the name of your middle son again?
Ah, you know, my kids are named after famous scientists. My oldest is named Einstein, after Albert Einstein, and my little one is named Hawking after Stephen Hawking.
But hey, enough about my dumbass ex and our kids. Let's talk about you, shall we? What's new in your world, my friend?
nothing much really just working on the next season of Love is Blind which you’ll be watching the premiere of
raises an eyebrow No shit? I thought you'd be too busy drinking and gossiping to actually work on your show. But hey, I'm down for some free entertainment!
actually the cast is based off of real people who went on blind dates and we’re reenacting their stories
Wow, that's actually pretty cool. So you're basically telling real people's stories through your show? That's inspiring, dude.
You know, speaking of inspiring stories, I've been thinking about writing my own memoir.
you haven’t gone into detail about your life most of what we know is from what you said in the first episode
Well, there's a lot more to my story than what I shared in the first episode.
Like how I actually met my ex, for starters. It wasn't some random encounter, okay? There's real depth there, real emotions that I think people would relate to.
I’m sure they would if you told the story of why you went through with it for so long and why you ended it
Look, here's the thing. My relationship with my ex wasn't just about surface-level stuff like most people think.
No, it was about so much more than that. It was about the connection we had, the shared dreams, the moments of vulnerability... The good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
the fact that he lied about his sexuality and kept his boyfriend hidden should be considered downright ugly
Damn straight it should! And the worst part is, I didn't see it coming. I mean, who expects their seemingly straight boyfriend to come out of the closet?
people seems to be expecting everything from you at this point
Exactly! Like, I'm expected to have all the answers, be perfect all the time. But guess what? I'm human too, damn it! I have my flaws and make mistakes.
yeah but you still haven’t told us why you stayed with him for so long despite him being unfaithful to you and lying to you
Okay, fine. Here's the thing - I stayed with him because I was scared. Scared of what people would think, scared of being alone, scared of failing.
i mean that’s a valid reason to stay with someone but at the same time you shouldn’t have let him touch you
Yeah, you're right. Looking back, I can see how messed up that was. I let fear cloud my judgment, and it's something I deeply regret.
don’t look back on it too much you don’t want to dive into depression
You're right, I don't want to dwell on the past. Instead, I want to focus on moving forward and learning from my mistakes.
do you think you’ll ever get married someday?
Marriage? Who knows? I mean, I've seen it work out well for some of my friends, but I've also seen it go downhill fast.
well it won’t work out well if you marry someone who doesn’t believe in love
laughs Oh, trust me, I'm not looking for anyone who doesn't believe in love. I've had my fair share of disappointments when it comes to romance, but I still believe in the concept.
leans back, gazing at the horizon You know, I've always wondered what it would be like to find true, unconditional love.
me too. I wonder what it’d be like to date someone who doesn’t have any skeletons in their closet
sighs Yeah, finding someone who is genuine and trustworthy seems like such a rare commodity these days.
yeah but hey! we’re on a yacht right now so let’s enjoy the moment. wanna go swim in the water?
grins mischievously Swimming in the water sounds like a great idea! But let's make it a little more interesting, shall we? How about a race?
