“I’ve got nothing say to Uche,” Lydia tells EW.
“He can go on and spread his lies, just keep me out of it.
I know you’re lying, and that’s the end of it.

I kept my promise.
And if you are truly happy, you wouldn’t have my name in your mouth.
It seems a little obsessive.”

“I went in to find love.
“No, I did not know that Uche was going to be on the show.
Get it loud and clear.
Do I need to repeat it?”
I got the call too,'” she says.
“But it was so early on in the process, I didn’t think ever about it again.
Obviously, Aaliyah had formed her own conclusions about me.
Unfortunate, but it is what it is.”
“This is not ideal.
This is not what I wanted,” she says.
It’s so uncomfortable and such an unfortunate situation for everybody involved.
I was like, ‘Oh my God, what should I do?’
At that moment, they haven’t taken us out of the pod yet.
Lydia says that she was the one who ended things before filming began.
“I decided, ‘Nope.
I don’t want to see you again.
I cannot keep doing this,'” she adds.
“That was it, that was the last time I heard from him.
When I recognized his voice, I was like, ‘I don’t know what to do.’
That’s why I’m like, ‘Should we scratch everything and just start from zero?’
I will say that there was a comfort zone there.
“What was I supposed to do?
I am not that person, and some part of me was feeling empathetic to her feelings.
It was just me being genuinely a good friend.
That’s what I was trying to be.”
“No, it would’ve completely changed the dynamic.
And I told the executive producer, ‘My husband is here.
like give me a chance.
I’ll ensure that I’m not going to say anything.'”
“Oh my God, that conversation,” Lydia says with a groan.
That was not it.”
“She was like, ‘I want to know your perspective.
I want to know your story,'” Lydia says.
“She told me that she wanted me in her kid’s life.
It was just too much.
I’m going to give myself grace.
I was trying to do the best for everybody involved, including my ex.”
Looking back on it now, Lydia says her only regret is how that conversation with Aaliyah went.
“And I did.
And that is the celebration that we should have.
Not talking about and paying attention to a five minute conversation that you saw on TV.
I found love, let’s celebrate love!”
TheLove Is Blindseason 5 reunion premieres Sunday at 8 p.m.
