ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You and Lexi had a great bond.
What did you learn about yourself during that time that you were bringing into your reunion with Yoly?

She speaks about the things she wants and has a tangible plan for them.
She’s very practical.
What do you think about saying that Yoly could find someone in that first episode now looking back?

In fact, I knew her dating someone else.
The way I saw her on the show with Xander, I have seen Yoly this way before.
When she was with that person, it was only for a couple of months.
There were a lot of grand words used around their relationship.
I get that she brought me toThe Ultimatum, but every bit of her pop in is here.
I was excited to go back home, right?
I love Lexi down.
That’s my girl, but I know what we came here for.
I go back home to see my partner and she didn’t even have to say anything.
Immediately, I knew there was something.
She doesn’t need her lover.
It doesn’t mean it’s easy.
What was the hardest part of the process?
To venture to get back to a space of normalcy together.
In my experience, we’re dealing with processing a breakup.
What do you remember about that gathering and is there anything that struck you when watching it on TV?
My beef, if you will, was I felt like Vanessa wanted to stir the pot.
It wasn’t that deep.
I was most disappointed with Yoly.
She was the one that said don’t talk to Lexi, and so did Netflix production.
Check on their mental well being.
Yoly said they weren’t going to speak.
We’re going into next week’s finale when everyone makes their decisions.
Can you take us back to where your mind was ahead of that big choice?
Throughout the whole process, my wanting to marry her never wavered.
I was always pretty sure about what I was gonna do.
This thing is a season.
If she says no, then when we walk away from this thing she can’t question my intention.
It also means that there’s no spinning the block on me.
However this ends, what is your takeaway from this experience?
Don’t give your person an ultimatum.
It might work for some people.
For me, it’s not a thing I would do.
I don’t expect everybody to understand that lens.
The Ultimatum: Queer Lovereturns with its final episodes June 7 on Netflix.
