It’s probably safe to say that Jenn Tran and Sam M. didn’t click during the time they spent together, but it sounds like it’s more than just a case of no chemistry or compatibility.
Sam actually made Jenn uncomfortable, and on the Love To See It podcast, she demanded he take accountability.
The Bachelorette star has been open and honest about what she’s looking for in a partner.
She knows what she needs and won’t settle for less, and she certainly won’t stand for being disrespected.
She opened up about how bad same made her feel and how he made her realize what she didn’t want in a boyfriend.
Jenn Tran Says Sam Can’t Excuse Himself Saying He Got A ‘Bad Edit’
After their bad one-on-one date, Sam M. has been claiming he got a “bad edit” that made him look like the bad guy, but Jenn Tran is having none of it.
“Listen, nobody can put words in your mouth,” Jenn stated. “As much as a TV edit is [an edit], no one can give you a villain edit in some way, which is what people are claiming. You have to own your words because no one’s putting words in your mouth. You are the person that is saying those things.”
Back on their date, Sam and Jenn were given the option to jump off the Sky Tower in Auckland, and he pushed her to do it despite her saying she didn’t want to and that she was afraid.
After that, she said that she felt awful during their date.
“Without even asking me, he made a decision for the both of us. I think he needs to be doing a better job of reading my emotions right now. I am clearly terrified and Sam’s not reading my emotions at all. I feel like I’m up here all by myself.”
Sam Showed Jenn What She Doesn’t Want In A Partner
While Jenn Tran didn’t enjoy her time with Sam, at least it made her realize what she didn’t want in a potential partner. She said the way Sam treated her made her understand her personal boundaries and what to expect from a respectful partner.
“That’s not what I want in a partner,” she stated.
“I don’t want a partner that’s just going to tell me to do something and not be there for me and not emotionally support me in that way. So watching it back was tough because it’s also like, that’s not the message that I want people to be watching, like little girls who look up to me, that’s not what you should be allowing your partner to do.”
Jenn also realized that her interaction with Sam brought out some learned behaviors from her childhood that she needs to change.
“Thinking back to how I grew up, I wasn’t particularly emotionally supported a lot growing up especially with my father not really being in the picture,” she explained.
“I’ve been so independent in taking care of myself that when somebody gives me an inch. I kind of take it for miles. That’s something that I’m currently just working on.”
Looking on the bright side, since Jenn went on The Bachelorette to find love, it’s good that this failed date helped her get her priorities straight.
