CONTROVERSIAL Bachelorette Emily Simms says she has been banned from doing interviews by Channel 10 because of her honesty about the reality TV show.
The 31-year-old, who walked out of last night’s rose ceremony, was contacted by KIIS FM’s Kyle and Jackie O despite the ban and was asked why media weren’t allowed to speak with her.
“Why do you think I’m not allowed to do interviews?” Emily said, to which Jackie replied: “I think it’s because you’re being honest about what goes on behind the scenes and they're not liking it.”
Emily agreed with the pair’s assessment, saying: “Obviously I’m not meant to be saying too much but yeah, you’re spot on. People don’t seem to like honesty sometimes.
“I’ve been told that I’ve been outspoken and I don’t think I’ve been outspoken. I am who I am and it is annoying to see things out there about me that plain and simply are untrue and I probably do have a very strong urge to defend myself and defend my loved ones which sometimes backfires.”
News.com.au also requested an interview with Emily through Channel 10, but it was declined.
Emily walked off the show last night after a confrontational discussion with Sam in which he described her as being “uptight” and “highly strung”.
“I actually am so confused by most of what I’ve seen now come out of Sam’s mouth. At the time, yes, I was baffled, but other things he said, I was like ‘hang on a minute, that is not how I felt that he felt’ and I think I’m pretty cluey, you can tell if someone’s into you or not. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure that out.”
She also said some of the drama might have been because she drank too much on the night.
“I’m very glad I walked when I did, I think I’d reached my limit. Watching that last night, I was very, very drunk in that. I was slurring my words in the car on the way back.”
Emily said she was “hurt” by how she was portrayed on the show and said her family and friends were sad to see how upset she was over being portrayed as a “villain”.
“It hasn’t been great but I understand that a reality show does have its characters. I’m confused as to why I was chosen for that character because I was the person I actually am and the person that they know I actually am so I am confused and I am definitely hurt by that, but you’ve got to laugh at it now.”
Emily also reiterated her feelings about Nina, saying she wasn’t a “big fan” because there were things that happened in the house that “didn’t sit well” with her.
Emily and Bec — who also left of her own accord last night — have been holidaying in Bali together, with Emily saying she felt producers twisted the way Bec left the show to look like it was more of Sam’s decision, rather than it being a mutual decision between the two of them.
The Melburnian said she was “99.9999 per cent sure” she knew who the winner was and that they were “probably” a good match.
