ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why did you choose Kevin as Influencer over Jadejha?
Darian, ‘The Circle’.Netflix
With Kevin, I will say my goal was to get Madelyn out of the game.
Kevin was one of my only alliances that I still had remaining after Andy left.
Had I known what I know now, definitely wouldn’t have chose Kevin.
But I did think that he would possibly take out Madelyn.
Did you worry that leaving the game would have a negative impact on Jadejha moving forward?
But of course, I was her No.
1 ally, she was my No.
I would’ve been able to continue to push her in a No.
1 position, and I do feel like people would’ve started gravitating towards us in the game.
We would’ve became a lot more powerful, looking back now.
What was your immediate reaction when you saw that you were blocked?
I think I broke something.
I kicked the bottom of something and put a hole in it.
I was extremely upset, but that was my own doing.
I know everybody’s been like, “Why did you choose Kevin?”
I was disappointed in myself.
When did you find out Kevin was the one responsible for your blocking?
Did you realize immediately or did it come out later?
If I recall, Gianna was the one that dropped it in the chat.
So I think finale night, that’s when [I learned the truth].
I knew he had blocked me, and I knew he had been manipulated.
I was trying to be true to my alliance.
They don’t show everything, but he was one of my strong alliances.
And in terms of numbers, I was thinking of keeping him on my team.
What’s your relationship with Kevin like now that you know the truth?
Me and Kevin, there is not any beef.
We all know what we signed up for.
It is a reality show.
The night after the finale, everyone got along.
It’s no bad blood.
Do I hate it?
Yes, I hate he did that s—.
And do I hate picking him as an Influencer?
I hate that I did that s— as well.
Speaking of relationships, what’s going on with you and Jadejha now?
[Laughs] Well, I mean, we’re seeing each other.
I live in Houston, she lives in Houston, so we kick it.
We have good vibes.
[Laughs] I’m blushing a little bit.
Prepare to keep blushing because I’m going to keep asking for more details.
We are very, very close.
Did you officially get together as soon as filming ended?
I don’t want to put no dates on it, because I really can’t recall.
But it was pretty soon.
I’m glad she wasn’t a catfish.
InThe Circle, it’s heart eyes at first sight.
Now, that’s a good decision.
Picking Kevin wasn’t.
So you live and you learn.
I’m a man that learns from his mistakes.
