Ace Greene opened up about the fallout from his past remarks on Nic and Olandria's relationship during a recent interview. He admitted speaking from a place of hurt after his complex sit-down last year. The reality star also credited family support for helping him through the intense online criticism.
Ace Greene sat down with Barron Harris on the podcast Life Without the Game to reflect on the storm that followed his comments about Nic Van and Olandria Carthen. He explained that his words came from feeling hurt after Nic did not have his back and stressed that he never meant to spark hate toward Olandria. The pair reportedly smoothed things over the same week yet the episode still strained their ties. The former Love Island USA contestant also described the mental health toll of the backlash which he compared to facing rocks being thrown. He credited God, his mother and family prayers for keeping him steady during that period. Greene noted the challenge of receiving both criticism and grace in today's cancel culture climate. Social media users on The Shade Room Teens shared split reactions with some calling him jealous of the couple's success while others defended his right to admit mistakes. Several pointed out that he has already taken accountability publicly.
