I honestly feel that the reunions should be done by somebody that lived through the experience themselves. Unfortunately, the Lachey's do not ask the questions that the majority of the viewers are interested in.
I wonder how much it is the Lacheys vs. what the producers are whispering in their ear… does anyone know… how much freedom do the Lacheys have to ask what they want?
Thank y’all for giving Aaliyah a platform to share her story. I feel like her voice was drowned out by both Uche and Lydia, and I feel like she was the true victim in all of this.
When Uche chastised her for not being honest (with someone else!) only to turn around and reveal he’d been lying the whole time, I was floored at the audacity. She’s a beautiful soul and I’m glad she dodged that bullet.
I agree but then I have to wonder did production have something to do with Uche and Lydia being quiet up to when production wanted them to reveal the truth... they are known to be messy as well in fact they're getting sued again as of a week or 2 ago.
@@margaretturner4467 I disagree. She's so kind and has so much to offer but she's got to work on her communication skills instead of leaning into the impulse to be reactionary.
Sad we can’t get Cameron & Lauren to be hosts for LIB. This interview is evidence that they ask the right questions without that “gotcha” vibe. So kind and yet honest about addressing issues we all want clarity on. We deserve Cam. & Lauren, these producers SURELY have to see this.
I agree. He created such a safe and empathetic space for her to share from. I really wish they could play a mentoring role in the show, just as past Bachelorettes do on that show.
Wow. Aliyah is a very wise woman. Truthfully the fact that she left LIB was the best thing that ever happened to her. She dodged the bullet of a potentially hurtful toxic relationship. This was a blessing in disguise. I wish her the best!
I wish she stood her ground and didn't re-engage him. Because he was able to keep manipulating and mentally abusing her. It's evident that he gains power when partners give him multiple chances.
I´m not sure people realize that because she opened up her soul to Uche and went very deep, it will take a while for her to heal. Some women never do... it´s harder in women than in men to recover from a broken heart and trust other people again. Therapy might help but not necessarily.
Aaliyah is a great example of quiet confidence. Loved her openness, rational thinking and empathy, while at the same time being courageous enough to walk away if needed.
I truly respect the manor it which she left without giving closure. If you cant understand (Uche) what you did wrong to make someone so uncomfortable they felt it was safer to leave without a goodbye, then idk what to tell you (Uche). I've felt that way before and the other person was as equally angry with me silently leaving vs if I would have given them a heads up.
This is a 10/10 interview. This is a vulnerable convo but also positive and respectful. I can appreciate these type of interviews. I’m glad she left when she did; takes a lot of courage to leave. Good job!
One of the, if not THE, best interviews I've ever seen related to reality TV. Cameron moved through this conversation with such compassion and empathy and kindness. Aaliyah is incredibly wise and kind. What a gift to be able to watch this conversation! Thank you both!
This entire season was cringy AF. But their particular story was the epitome of gaslighting and manipulation. Uche talks like a lawyer even in intimate situations. Which is a clear intimidation tactic. But dude how are you trying to press a woman you're trying to get to know. Like make it make sense.

Most important is that HE IS LETTING HER SPEAK. Usually hosts constantly interrupt their guests and it ruins the interaction.
Something about Uche from the beginning had me yelling at the screen. “Girl, run!” I saw the manipulation. I saw the gaslighting. Then when the “dishonest” conversation happened the nail was in the coffin for me. I will also say when the Lydia situation was revealed I was mad at Lydia. She was manipulating as well. I understood why she left. Shocked but I understood.
As someone that has dated someone that almost exactly like Uche personality wise I was trying to deduct if it was lawyer talk or some INTJ analytical persona… but the vibe is very manipulative and narcissistic. Especially hearing he wants to control the narrative to the other cast members.
@@yasminehmmm6020this....when the cast had met up outside the pod and he was so invested in talking about his past with Lydia and how she was crazy. Even if that was the case....his relationship with her was done and in the past and she was engaged to someone else so why the need to want to speak to her fiance and then also to tell the other castmate. He didn't want to let it go.
I love Aaliyah’s personality, her vulnerability, her grace, and how clear and reasonable she is in her thoughts and explanations. I wish her well and I know she will find someone that loves her the way she desires and deserves to be loved
And this is why we wanted you and Lauren to host instead you really delve deep and give people a safe place to share without judgement or bias. Great interview ! The laches are judgemental, lead thier interviews with a direct agenda to fullful false character tropes.
@@ThisTriniWill obviously it's different with more people but I think what wont change no matter how many people are there is how open Cameron is and how he creates a space where the interview is not lead with bias and judgement but rather an open mind and heart. The Laches lead with an agenda and a tone of judgement and only care about getting what they want out of you which is your character trope.
true, but I think this is a better format for them on RUclips where they don’t have producers yelling at them to hurry & go straight to the dirt. This way they’re their own bosses & they can go as long & deep into something as possible. This conversation would never happen on a reality TV show reunion sadly
Anyone can be manipulated. Confident people can be manipulated. Confident people can become insecure due to a relationship. Manipulative people see vulnerabilities in others and use that to their advantage. Manipulative partners always position themselves as correct. They are never wrong. When they're wrong, they're still right. Manipulative partners slowly escalate their behaviors until the person is dependent on them. It is not Aaliyah's fault for being manipulated. It is always the fault of the manipulator for seeing someone's kindness and forgiving nature and using it against them. Manipulation can be intentional or unintentional but it remains harmful. I hope Aaliyah can heal❤
I disagree . Sometimes one must take partial blame in certain circumstances . Uchees manipulation was clear as day and harsh and direct . Even the blind could see that . I would understand ur sentiments if it was more subtle. People need to stop victimizing themselves
@@TheJtobenWe saw the "highlights". We have heard before about how dates last hours and hours. We have no idea what led up to the boiling points. From the outside looking in it can be obvious. But from the inside it can be completely inscrutable.
I felt like a bad situation was my fault for not paying attention to red flags, but liars and thieves practice their skills. A good liar can convince even the smartest people that they are the truth teller. Manipulation is a skill, and some people work on that skill daily.
It takes two in any relationship. I have been manipulate before but you must take responsibility in order to not be manipulated again. You do have a responsibility in creating boundaries for yourself. Also its not black and white like this. Even "victims" can be manipulative like when people use their victimhood to get people to feel sorry for them or do things for them.
The fact that he told her she wasn't his ideal type makes me think he only dates lighter-skinned women, since he dated Lydia. Which is really sad because Aaliyah is STUNNING.
@@ashleytune1598 yes colorism but personal preference should be respected. Uche never said Lydia is ugly cos she’s dark skinned but he’s not his type and it’s okay.
I’m sure she was too dark for him and her hair was too kinky for him. I think is safe to say he likes lighter hues and other races preferably. Aaliyah is gorgeous.
She is poise and class manifested in such a beautiful vessel. I’m proud of her and her growth, and honestly for taking the high road in this. She could have trashed both of them, and it would have been warrented. But this interview speaks so much to her character. I pray she gets nothing but the best out of life. ❤️
A great interview Cameron. Thank you for giving Aaliyah an opportunity to fully talk about, and explain her perspective, point of view and feelings. It was refreshing that you, Cameron, the interviewer, gave her space to fully complete an involved and complicated thought process, when sadly soundbites many times are all that interviewers want. Well done! ❤
Exactly. Would love to see a love is human series from Cameron & Lauren or Couples Convo with dining maybe Cameron can be the chef! Definitely giving curl up and dive in vibes. Love the safe space ❤.
This this confirmed for me that Uche doesn’t like black women and that’s why he had unnecessary smoke for both Aaliyah and Miriam but none for Lydia and Stacy.
The way he treated Miriam was nuts! A great example of his hate for black women and self hatred for himself … I was proud of Miriam for standing up for herself but saddened over the optics of it. People looked at her like a villain while sympathizing with Uche. It was absolute madness
I didn’t even watch the season but saw a clip including him and a heated interaction with another black woman . I immediately saw the difference in how he interacted with her vs anything other woman . These comments confirmed those thoughts
Great conversation Cam. This such a wonderful in depth interview, sheds a light into what happened. Unfortunate, that Uche didn't let her explain further tho. I understand what Aaliyah is saying about her empathy. But chile these new episodes really show who HE IS TO HIS CORE.
She as the best people in the whole season! So played and manipulated by Lydia’s immaturity and Uche ‘s Ego! Love her honesty and the way she has grown to become a confident women. They weren’t showing all her strengths on the show but just this candid interview shows what a confident consider and classy woman she really is.
Thank you Cameron and Aaliyah. This in depth interview was fantastic. Cameron, you asked all the questions in a professional and empathetic way. Aaliyah, you answered the questionS with truth and authentic emotions. To Cameron and Lauren, you need your own show because you guys have grown beyond LIB. ❤️🧡
In some cases, the right person is already around her but she´s not seeing him yet... she´s a nurse, so I think that someone in her profession might be a better fit - when she´s ready...
Such a beautiful discussion. Aaliyah you’re a beautiful soul and a great example of a healed high vibing black woman. Often times black woman aren’t seen this pure, honest and vulnerable. I can tell you’ve done deep healing and alot of shadow work. God bless you! Sending you love. Cameron you kilt it. These interviews show your EQ and your ability to extract vital information that brings light and healing to everyone that wants a healthy connections in their lives. I look forward to how your skills expand.
Uche missed the opportunity to build a life with a beautiful and genuine woman. I’m glad she was given an opportunity to speak for herself. Great Interview ❤
There was a whole petition signed to make you all host and this is a prime example why. You ask the difficult and uncomfortable questions while still creating a safe space. I’m glad Aaliyah had time to reflect and was given this platform to be open, honest and transparent with her experience and perspective. I am so happy her and Uche did not work. She seems like a very sweet soul and he came off emotionally abusive
As much as I would LOVE Lauren and Cameron to host LIB, I almost don’t want that for them only because I feel like production will put too many restrictions on them or make them ask things they don’t want to or won’t be beneficial. I much prefer for them to do something like this where they have freedom and they can be their real selves that we all love. 🤍🤍🤍 team Lauren and Cam forever!
Thank you so much Cam and Aaliyah for this conversation. I really appreciate Cam creating a safe space for Aaliyah to share her truth. As for Aaliyah, it’s good to see her take what she needed to learn from the experience and move on to a healthier space ❤️.
I am very impressed about her ability to express herself so well, differentiate and give deep insight into the complex emotions she felt in that environment. I hope she finds a partner that appreciates her intelligence, grace and beauty.
I love how mature and level headed Aalyiah is....she looks at things from both sides and she gives grace to others and herself. She will make a great wife.
Thank you Cameron! This was an awesome interview! You actually asked the right questions, and got all the questions the public has for her answered. You really should be the host at the reunion. 💯
What an incredibly beautiful, intelligent, articulate, grace-filled soul. (You're a great guy too, Cameron. 😉) Both of you were/are so respectful to the process and all involved. Thank you! We need more of this.
FANTASTIC INTERVIEW. Cameron was super respectful and gave her the space to say what she needed to say without forcing her to go too far, and Aaliyah is so well spoken and does a great job of advocating for herself. She did an amazing job of saying her piece without being disrespectful or spilling the tea for the sake of getting it out there. LOVED THIS. 🙌🏼
Can I just say I only starting watching love is blind in September this year. Once I finished the first season, I instantly looked up Cameron and Lauren to see if they were still together. Then I discovered the RUclips channel and immediately subscribed! I appreciate you guys ❤
i didn't start until season 3 and the fact we have a few couples that are still together I consider a win. dating irl is hard on reality shows is harder, idk how many people from The Bachelor are still together but I like the couples that actually make it through this journey together
@@specialkdm900 I think Tiffany and Brett in season 4 were ready. Apart from them two I don have to agree with you. The thing is, people have seen it’s popularity and just want the after fame from the show.
Cameron and Lauren are the lucky charm of the show. The creator and main producer - Chris something - said that when they were taping Cameron and Lauren interact and then the reveal, they went - oh sxxxx, the formula of the show really works, we won the lottery with these two... Until their reveal, they had no clue the premise of the show could work, regardless of the quality of the casting staff in finding possible matches going through social media profiles and activities. It turned out Cameron and Lauren accepted the invitation to be on the show and the formula worked. But there is a big BUT here, the quality of Cameron and Lauren as people is different from many of the other participants on the show - both are highly educated, have amazing families, are compatible from a social, economic, and educational background, and were ready for a serious relationship. Many participants of the current season 5, for example, Izzy. Jonie, Lydia, Milton, Uche, Stacy , pretty much most of the cast of this season are far away from this status, like thousands of miles away...
It was pretty wreckless for the producers to let 2 folks with that much baggage & history on the show. What happened? An innocent person got caught in the crossfire 😢
Whoever ends up with Aaliyah is going to be a very lucky person. She's such a great girl. I liked her from the first moment I saw her on the show. Expressive, intelligent, emotionally intelligent.
Love her maturity. You can see that she’s worked on herself and knows what she truly values. She deserves someone so amazing. Same can’t be said about the rest of the cast.
I can’t wait until you and Lauren get your own show. It will be amazing. I am so glad we got to hear her perspective for once. This was such a great interview. Thank you both!
I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!! I don’t understand why the Cameron and Lauren can’t be host on LIB. The questions were asked so audience can better understand the cast experience on the show. The interview is such chill conversation as if we are seeing two friends talking yet still getting answers to everyone questions. I love Aaliyah even more after this.
An exclusive!! Finally, contestants have decided to use this couples platform in the smartest way for all of them. I feel like any exclusives should come through Cameron and Lauren.
She wasn't his normal type? sigh...she's lovely, beautiful, fit, soft, feminine and caring. So what is his type and why did he even go on love is blind??? Lydia clearly was his "type" which says a lot but i digress.
Great interview! Truly felt like being a fly on the wall to an authentic conversation between friends. I’m sure it’s easy to do with people like Cam and Lauren who are so grounded and genuinely interested in what the interviewee says and has to say. Great job Cam! 💙
she really bothered me on the show but this conversation is really vulnerable and i appreciate her openness. another reminder that not everything on reality tv is as it seems.
For anyone that has dealt with a narcissist you would have seen a lot of these things coming. It’s a typical narcissistic trait to ask you to be honest then tear you down and condemn you for anything that doesn’t look like his beautiful view of his subject at the time. Also they tend to have the same or worst skeletons in their closet but they work hard to keep them private. Hence why he needed to discredit Lydia. The reason why he flipped out is because Aaliyah leaving took away the control. Sis you dodged a bullet. He’s the reason why Lydia is so unhinged all thar narcissistic abuse. Run and run fast don’t look back 🏃🏽♀️
Thanks for being so articulate Cameron. You guys are upstanding humans. So happy to hear Aaliyah is in a better place and can reflect back and see that she did an amazing job.
Yeah that’s what a lot of us thought about Uche not being attracted to her. I mean it is what it but the fact that people don’t understand the plight that black women have wondering if a black man find her attractive is still a thing and I wish people would stop gaslighting us about it.
Omg I love this so much! The Hamilton’s should be interviewing Love is Blind contestants going forward because they have been through the process. This was great. Thank you thank you thank you!
She just confirmed my theory in the most ladylike way possible, lol. There’s truth in both sides. Uche and Lydia did have a longer relationship and Uche’s downplaying it but also Uche was trying to move on from her and she followed him to the show.
I absolutely love Aaliyah and I was so relieved when she left the pods and did not end up with Uche he’s got issues…Aaliyah is intelligent beautiful and an amazing human that deserves so much more from a partner!🙏🏻
I love her calm demeanor, she's really beautiful and forgiving. I'm glad she's passed all of this and is saying that she won't talk about that much anymore. You go Aaliyah and love is on the horizon for you! Loved the interview. PS: We are waiting on the dating show/app/event from the Hamiltons!
Thanks Cameron for inviting Aaliyah to share her story LIB Season 5. Everything she said, epitomizes her character (heart, mind, soul and spirit). she is honest, kind, nonjudgmental, beautiful and has great empathy for others 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️. I am happy she left because I believe her true soulmate was not Uche. Aaliyah will know when she meets her soulmate, keep living life and enjoying the things that bring you Peace and Happiness. GOD'S plan and timing is always Right on Time✝️♾️
I know many people want you guys to host and I certainly would not be against it. Honestly, I love the fact you can ask the tough questions your way. I feel like the producers would get in the way of you two being your authentic selves. This interview is very authentic and i love it.
This was a great interview! This is the version of Aaliyah I’m happy to see! She was always there and she didn’t allow the foolishness to swallow her! She’s a jewel! This was so respectful, mature, and I didn’t hear an ounce of bitterness from her even though she could be! Praying the best for Aaliyah!
Cameron, I’m about 5 mins in, and I’ll say this video to me, feels authentic and very heart centered. I liked the approach here. Thank you for taking my feedback from another video. It may not be always what you want to hear, but the truth of someone’s perspective on your video (whether it triggers you or not) can actually help you find a method YOU like to do your videos. I’m actually an intuitive and can sense a lot about celebrities. I work as a business analyst and an intuitive coach. Done both for about 12 years now. What I can say is this - when you’re in your heart center completely - we feel it in the videos. Again, every criticism and praise “that touches you in any way” is just a reflection of how you see yourself. 😉 Keep up the heart centered work my friend.
The moment I heard uche speak, I knew Aaliyah wasn’t his cup of tea. Lol she’s not his demo and I was PRAYINGGGGG she would come to that realization and talk to someone that could FEEL how much of a true gem she was/is. Aaliyah is a pure soul and her king is definitely coming! Handled this whole interview with grace and respect.
Awesome interview! I saw people on Instagram taking sides and i was baffled because to me there's truth on both sides. Glad to hear confirmation from a person involved.
This interview was sooooooo well done!!! Bravo. Aaliyah has handled this all very well! And Cameron as a host asked the right questions with being fair to everyone involved.
genuinely thank you for giving aaliyah a voice! cameron facilitated this conversation so well and i feel like we understand more of what happened. i genuinely feel so bad for aaliyah, but i'm so glad she's better now 🤍
I still think Cameron and his wife are the best thing to come out of this franchise I have yet to see a connection like theirs and I wish the show had more authentic people like these two. Also Aliyah I feel so bad on how she was treated and I'm convinced Lydia and Uche are both idiots
I’ll never forget the look on Lie-dia’s face as Aaliyah was sitting there telling her how she was falling for Uche and the things he said about falling for her and seeing her in his future. It was a look of “wow, he NEVER said that to me.” And she was disappointed!
THIS! And I believe that had a great deal to do with why she was so adamant about making certain statements (as a viewer I’m like “how can you say this, do you even know him like that?”) Only for the truth to come out. Lydia can say she was a friend and wanted Aaliyah to know the real, but I believe 2 things: 1: Once the cat was out of the bag, Lydia was info-bombing Aaliyah because she knew how turbulent the situation with Uche was and wanted make sure she got her side of the narrative on the table (not knowing why Uche may have said to Aaliyah). 2: Lydia was a little bitter at the fact that she was rejected in that Uche acted like he had no idea who she was through that wall, AND a small part of her wanted to sabotage the relationship because “Why does Uche get to be happy” while lowkey smiling inside at the possibility that Aaliyah does t get the guy in the end.
Great interview. She was the only person I really cared about this season. I really enjoyed all the past seasons and cared for so many people and couples. Love is Blind became my favorite dating show because it focused on finding love and not drama. I hope they don't change and focus on creating drama and bombshells. And yes, I wish the Hamiltons would host the show!
Aaliyah girl you made the right call by leaving. You are too beautiful and genuine for Uche. He does not deserve you. And I truly believe production set you up. They put Uche and Lydia on this show for drama and ratings. And I don't believe for a second Lydia was a genuine friend. So glad you're in a better space. Blessings to you and shine on beautiful! ❤ Thank you Cameron for giving Aaliyah a platform to speak. She's such a sweet spirit.

Perfectly said.
Agree completely
How was she a victim? She let Lydia get in her head and ran instead of talking to Uche
Yeah I felt like the producers did Aaliyah dirty
@@djsalteenutsI bet it's really the Producers did that ...
When Uche chastised her for not being honest (with someone else!) only to turn around and reveal he’d been lying the whole time, I was floored at the audacity. She’s a beautiful soul and I’m glad she dodged that bullet.
I was thinking the same thing. It felt like a lot of projection from Uche
Not only lying he himself cheated bruhhh
Not that only how he said being honest is so important hypocrisy at the highest level
Uche is just narcissistic and just corny to me
SAME like the BALLS on that man!! “Recent cheater” like he wasn’t cheating on Lydia!!!!? I didn’t like him after that lol.
I agree but then I have to wonder did production have something to do with Uche and Lydia being quiet up to when production wanted them to reveal the truth... they are known to be messy as well in fact they're getting sued again as of a week or 2 ago.
I felt like there wasn’t a single person on this season that was truly READY to enter into a marriage.
I beg to differ. I believe Aaliyah was ready. I wish she had met someone, who was a bit more mature.
That part!
@@margaretturner4467 I disagree. She's so kind and has so much to offer but she's got to work on her communication skills instead of leaning into the impulse to be reactionary.

It is not Aaliyah's fault for being manipulated. It is always the fault of the manipulator for seeing someone's kindness and forgiving nature and using it against them.
Manipulation can be intentional or unintentional but it remains harmful.
I hope Aaliyah can heal❤
I disagree . Sometimes one must take partial blame in certain circumstances . Uchees manipulation was clear as day and harsh and direct . Even the blind could see that . I would understand ur sentiments if it was more subtle. People need to stop victimizing themselves
@@TheJtobenWe saw the "highlights". We have heard before about how dates last hours and hours. We have no idea what led up to the boiling points. From the outside looking in it can be obvious. But from the inside it can be completely inscrutable.
Perfectly said.
I felt like a bad situation was my fault for not paying attention to red flags, but liars and thieves practice their skills. A good liar can convince even the smartest people that they are the truth teller. Manipulation is a skill, and some people work on that skill daily.
It takes two in any relationship. I have been manipulate before but you must take responsibility in order to not be manipulated again. You do have a responsibility in creating boundaries for yourself. Also its not black and white like this. Even "victims" can be manipulative like when people use their victimhood to get people to feel sorry for them or do things for them.
You can tell when someone’s on intentional healing path. Just the way she speaks with intention, so that not one word is misconstrued.. I love it🦋
This was amazing to hear because the show only shows the drama but hearing her story explained a lot about everybody
The fact that he told her she wasn't his ideal type makes me think he only dates lighter-skinned women, since he dated Lydia. Which is really sad because Aaliyah is STUNNING.
I was thinking the same thing. I think she didn’t want to say it. She’s so beautiful 😍
It’s not sad people have preference we just need to respect People’s preferences and life choices.
@@Bazet465 colorism isn't something that should be respected.
@@ashleytune1598 yes colorism but personal preference should be respected. Uche never said Lydia is ugly cos she’s dark skinned but he’s not his type and it’s okay.
I’m sure she was too dark for him and her hair was too kinky for him. I think is safe to say he likes lighter hues and other races preferably. Aaliyah is gorgeous.
She is GORGEOUS! My goodness. And so emotionally intelligent. I just wish nothing but good things for her.
She is poise and class manifested in such a beautiful vessel. I’m proud of her and her growth, and honestly for taking the high road in this. She could have trashed both of them, and it would have been warrented. But this interview speaks so much to her character. I pray she gets nothing but the best out of life. ❤️
The way you worded this was everything 🫶🏽
A great interview Cameron. Thank you for giving Aaliyah an opportunity to fully talk about, and explain her perspective, point of view and feelings. It was refreshing that you, Cameron, the interviewer, gave her space to fully complete an involved and complicated thought process, when sadly soundbites many times are all that interviewers want. Well done! ❤
Exactly. Would love to see a love is human series from Cameron & Lauren or Couples Convo with dining maybe Cameron can be the chef! Definitely giving curl up and dive in vibes. Love the safe space ❤.
This this confirmed for me that Uche doesn’t like black women and that’s why he had unnecessary smoke for both Aaliyah and Miriam but none for Lydia and Stacy.
Exactly
The way he treated Miriam was nuts! A great example of his hate for black women and self hatred for himself …
I was proud of Miriam for standing up for herself but saddened over the optics of it. People looked at her like a villain while sympathizing with Uche. It was absolute madness
Agreed, I dont date nor mingle with BM anymore. Too much colorism and obsession with skin tone.
I didn’t even watch the season but saw a clip including him and a heated interaction with another black woman . I immediately saw the difference in how he interacted with her vs anything other woman . These comments confirmed those thoughts
Great conversation Cam. This such a wonderful in depth interview, sheds a light into what happened. Unfortunate, that Uche didn't let her explain further tho. I understand what Aaliyah is saying about her empathy. But chile these new episodes really show who HE IS TO HIS CORE.
She dodged a bullet, for sure.
Yup best thing she never had 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
"Everyone does things that they are not proud of." Such a graceful human being. I appreciate her so much.
finally! she's allowed to speak!
I'm so happy she moved on! She's beautiful with a beautiful personality. She will definitely find someone who is perfect for her.
@@TheEboniDanielleI hear she’s newly engaged to someone else ❤
She as the best people in the whole season! So played and manipulated by Lydia’s immaturity and Uche ‘s Ego! Love her honesty and the way she has grown to become a confident women. They weren’t showing all her strengths on the show but just this candid interview shows what a confident consider and classy woman she really is.
Thank you Cameron and Aaliyah. This in depth interview was fantastic. Cameron, you asked all the questions in a professional and empathetic way. Aaliyah, you answered the questionS with truth and authentic emotions. To Cameron and Lauren, you need your own show because you guys have grown beyond LIB. ❤️🧡
Aliyah is such a beautiful soul, God protected her from Uche. I really hope she finds what she is looking for!
In some cases, the right person is already around her but she´s not seeing him yet... she´s a nurse, so I think that someone in her profession might be a better fit - when she´s ready...
Such a beautiful discussion. Aaliyah you’re a beautiful soul and a great example of a healed high vibing black woman. Often times black woman aren’t seen this pure, honest and vulnerable. I can tell you’ve done deep healing and alot of shadow work. God bless you! Sending you love. Cameron you kilt it. These interviews show your EQ and your ability to extract vital information that brings light and healing to everyone that wants a healthy connections in their lives. I look forward to how your skills expand.
Uche missed the opportunity to build a life with a beautiful and genuine woman. I’m glad she was given an opportunity to speak for herself. Great Interview ❤
There was a whole petition signed to make you all host and this is a prime example why. You ask the difficult and uncomfortable questions while still creating a safe space. I’m glad Aaliyah had time to reflect and was given this platform to be open, honest and transparent with her experience and perspective. I am so happy her and Uche did not work. She seems like a very sweet soul and he came off emotionally abusive
She is too good for Uche. She’s so mature, kind,and really just a fantastic woman all around. Uche fumbled HARD
She is a cheater 😂. No she was not too good.
As much as I would LOVE Lauren and Cameron to host LIB, I almost don’t want that for them only because I feel like production will put too many restrictions on them or make them ask things they don’t want to or won’t be beneficial. I much prefer for them to do something like this where they have freedom and they can be their real selves that we all love. 🤍🤍🤍 team Lauren and Cam forever!
Oh I agree. It would be amazing to have them as hosts but not at the cost of such authenticity and transparency. Team Lauren and Cam 🙌🏾
Thank you so much Cam and Aaliyah for this conversation. I really appreciate Cam creating a safe space for Aaliyah to share her truth. As for Aaliyah, it’s good to see her take what she needed to learn from the experience and move on to a healthier space ❤️.
I am very impressed about her ability to express herself so well, differentiate and give deep insight into the complex emotions she felt in that environment. I hope she finds a partner that appreciates her intelligence, grace and beauty.
Yes, I completely agree. Wishing her all the best. A very lucky man will marry her one day.
@@salomefrancis5332 Amen!
And he doesn’t over talk her, actually listens, respect 👏
@@charliebarrow7086 I was blown away watching and seeing her level of maturity and communication honestly.
I love how mature and level headed Aalyiah is....she looks at things from both sides and she gives grace to others and herself. She will make a great wife.
Thank you Cameron! This was an awesome interview! You actually asked the right questions, and got all the questions the public has for her answered. You really should be the host at the reunion. 💯
What an incredibly beautiful, intelligent, articulate, grace-filled soul. (You're a great guy too, Cameron. 😉) Both of you were/are so respectful to the process and all involved. Thank you! We need more of this.
FANTASTIC INTERVIEW. Cameron was super respectful and gave her the space to say what she needed to say without forcing her to go too far, and Aaliyah is so well spoken and does a great job of advocating for herself. She did an amazing job of saying her piece without being disrespectful or spilling the tea for the sake of getting it out there. LOVED THIS. 🙌🏼
The most beautiful LIB interview I’ve seen. On both the guest and the host!
Can I just say I only starting watching love is blind in September this year. Once I finished the first season, I instantly looked up Cameron and Lauren to see if they were still together. Then I discovered the RUclips channel and immediately subscribed! I appreciate you guys ❤
i didn't start until season 3 and the fact we have a few couples that are still together I consider a win. dating irl is hard on reality shows is harder, idk how many people from The Bachelor are still together but I like the couples that actually make it through this journey together
Sadly, it’s downhill after Season 1. Cam and Lauren were both ready for marriage. Haven’t seen any couple prepared or ready since them.
@@specialkdm900Three couples are still married from season 4. Tiffany and Brett are often compared to Cameron and Lauren.
@@specialkdm900 I think Tiffany and Brett in season 4 were ready. Apart from them two I don have to agree with you. The thing is, people have seen it’s popularity and just want the after fame from the show.
Cameron and Lauren are the lucky charm of the show. The creator and main producer - Chris something - said that when they were taping Cameron and Lauren interact and then the reveal, they went - oh sxxxx, the formula of the show really works, we won the lottery with these two... Until their reveal, they had no clue the premise of the show could work, regardless of the quality of the casting staff in finding possible matches going through social media profiles and activities. It turned out Cameron and Lauren accepted the invitation to be on the show and the formula worked. But there is a big BUT here, the quality of Cameron and Lauren as people is different from many of the other participants on the show - both are highly educated, have amazing families, are compatible from a social, economic, and educational background, and were ready for a serious relationship. Many participants of the current season 5, for example, Izzy. Jonie, Lydia, Milton, Uche, Stacy , pretty much most of the cast of this season are far away from this status, like thousands of miles away...
It was pretty wreckless for the producers to let 2 folks with that much baggage & history on the show. What happened? An innocent person got caught in the crossfire 😢
Did the producers know from the beginning?
@@_jadaxoxoThey definitely did. Probably casted them both for the drama of it all. Lydia did say they were told by the producers not to tell Aliyah
@@hannahwatkins7992 Yes, I seen the reunion after watching this. They were wrong for that!
Whoever ends up with Aaliyah is going to be a very lucky person. She's such a great girl. I liked her from the first moment I saw her on the show. Expressive, intelligent, emotionally intelligent.
Unless she cheats AGAIN 😮
@@Tom6567my I can't really remember the woman I wrote this comment about but sad to hear she cheated, sad to hear anyone cheats.
Thank you Cameron. You asked the right questions and gave her the space to speak. Beautiful interview !!!!
Love her maturity. You can see that she’s worked on herself and knows what she truly values. She deserves someone so amazing. Same can’t be said about the rest of the cast.
Especially Lydia, who had a suspicious behavior. Aaliyah is a beautiful human being. ❤️
Cam you’re so good at being an empathetic interviewer. Would love to see more episodes like this
Would like follow up with Taylor and JP!
I can’t wait until you and Lauren get your own show. It will be amazing. I am so glad we got to hear her perspective for once. This was such a great interview. Thank you both!
I LOVE THIS INTERVIEW!!!!!! I don’t understand why the Cameron and Lauren can’t be host on LIB. The questions were asked so audience can better understand the cast experience on the show. The interview is such chill conversation as if we are seeing two friends talking yet still getting answers to everyone questions. I love Aaliyah even more after this.
An exclusive!!
Finally, contestants have decided to use this couples platform in the smartest way for all of them. I feel like any exclusives should come through Cameron and Lauren.
Uchi is clearly emotionally abusive. To do all that just tell her you not my usual physical type 🙄. He not even a looker lol
And his hands look really tiny, like I was reminded of a T. rex
Not even...
I’m hanging with the Hamiltons… Cam Cam, you are killing it… great interview✨🔥
Cam this can be a great series, interviewing Love Is Blind casts. This is a great interview.
Cameron is a really GREAT interviewer! Netflix should probably have that conversation 👀
I really respect Aaliyah. She handled this situation with grace and maturity. She should feel very proud of herself.
She wasn't his normal type? sigh...she's lovely, beautiful, fit, soft, feminine and caring. So what is his type and why did he even go on love is blind??? Lydia clearly was his "type" which says a lot but i digress.
That can all be true and the person still not be your type.
Great interview! Truly felt like being a fly on the wall to an authentic conversation between friends. I’m sure it’s easy to do with people like Cam and Lauren who are so grounded and genuinely interested in what the interviewee says and has to say. Great job Cam! 💙
she really bothered me on the show but this conversation is really vulnerable and i appreciate her openness. another reminder that not everything on reality tv is as it seems.
For anyone that has dealt with a narcissist you would have seen a lot of these things coming. It’s a typical narcissistic trait to ask you to be honest then tear you down and condemn you for anything that doesn’t look like his beautiful view of his subject at the time. Also they tend to have the same or worst skeletons in their closet but they work hard to keep them private. Hence why he needed to discredit Lydia. The reason why he flipped out is because Aaliyah leaving took away the control. Sis you dodged a bullet. He’s the reason why Lydia is so unhinged all thar narcissistic abuse. Run and run fast don’t look back 🏃🏽♀️
Hopefully lydia heals and continue to never look back
I agree
Thanks Cameron and Lauren for using your platform to allow beautiful Aaliyah to speak ❤. Great interview!
Thank you so much for giving Aaliyah the platform to tell her story. She's a brilliant woman and I truly wish her all the best
Thanks for being so articulate Cameron. You guys are upstanding humans. So happy to hear Aaliyah is in a better place and can reflect back and see that she did an amazing job.
Yeah that’s what a lot of us thought about Uche not being attracted to her. I mean it is what it but the fact that people don’t understand the plight that black women have wondering if a black man find her attractive is still a thing and I wish people would stop gaslighting us about it.
Very well said
Omg I love this so much! The Hamilton’s should be interviewing Love is Blind contestants going forward because they have been through the process. This was great. Thank you thank you thank you!
We all know that, that’s not going to happen 😒 but I highly agree with you!
Aaliyah, you were my favorite person. I found you the most open and genuine. I wish you the best.
She just confirmed my theory in the most ladylike way possible, lol. There’s truth in both sides. Uche and Lydia did have a longer relationship and Uche’s downplaying it but also Uche was trying to move on from her and she followed him to the show.
She didn’t follow him. This is not confirmed. It’s hearsay, so that’s not valid.
Uche could say that he saw Lydia turn into a cat and you'd believe it
I absolutely love Aaliyah and I was so relieved when she left the pods and did not end up with Uche he’s got issues…Aaliyah is intelligent beautiful and an amazing human that deserves so much more from a partner!🙏🏻
I love her calm demeanor, she's really beautiful and forgiving. I'm glad she's passed all of this and is saying that she won't talk about that much anymore. You go Aaliyah and love is on the horizon for you! Loved the interview. PS: We are waiting on the dating show/app/event from the Hamiltons!
love this ! thanks for letting alliyah share her story ❤
Cameron is so respectful and was still able to get the answers we were all wanting to know.
Finally an interview with someone who can relate to the process. Good interview ❤
Thanks Cameron for inviting Aaliyah to share her story LIB Season 5. Everything she said, epitomizes her character (heart, mind, soul and spirit). she is honest, kind, nonjudgmental, beautiful and has great empathy for others 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️. I am happy she left because I believe her true soulmate was not Uche. Aaliyah will know when she meets her soulmate, keep living life and enjoying the things that bring you Peace and Happiness. GOD'S plan and timing is always Right on Time✝️♾️
I know many people want you guys to host and I certainly would not be against it. Honestly, I love the fact you can ask the tough questions your way. I feel like the producers would get in the way of you two being your authentic selves. This interview is very authentic and i love it.
This interview was really awesome. Thanks for being so open and willing to share aaliyah
A conversation between two very intelligent, honest people! Loved listening to this, beyond the drama
This was a great interview! This is the version of Aaliyah I’m happy to see! She was always there and she didn’t allow the foolishness to swallow her! She’s a jewel! This was so respectful, mature, and I didn’t hear an ounce of bitterness from her even though she could be! Praying the best for Aaliyah!
No cap Aliyah needed her own platform to speak. I hope she’s able to write about this experience and host her own show.
Cameron, I’m about 5 mins in, and I’ll say this video to me, feels authentic and very heart centered. I liked the approach here. Thank you for taking my feedback from another video. It may not be always what you want to hear, but the truth of someone’s perspective on your video (whether it triggers you or not) can actually help you find a method YOU like to do your videos. I’m actually an intuitive and can sense a lot about celebrities. I work as a business analyst and an intuitive coach. Done both for about 12 years now. What I can say is this - when you’re in your heart center completely - we feel it in the videos.
Again, every criticism and praise “that touches you in any way” is just a reflection of how you see yourself. 😉 Keep up the heart centered work my friend.
The moment I heard uche speak, I knew Aaliyah wasn’t his cup of tea. Lol she’s not his demo and I was PRAYINGGGGG she would come to that realization and talk to someone that could FEEL how much of a true gem she was/is. Aaliyah is a pure soul and her king is definitely coming! Handled this whole interview with grace and respect.
They really gave her a bad edit, she’s very thoughtful and lovely in this video
She didn’t get a bad edit from casting - she got a bad edit from Uche the Terrible.
So gracefully done from both ends. Just love how she still speak gracefully of other parties.
Awesome interview! I saw people on Instagram taking sides and i was baffled because to me there's truth on both sides. Glad to hear confirmation from a person involved.
i loved this interview! she moved throughout the show & this interview with so much grace & i love that for her .
This interview was sooooooo well done!!! Bravo. Aaliyah has handled this all very well! And Cameron as a host asked the right questions with being fair to everyone involved.
Leave it to men like Cameron to give black women a platform to say there side and express how they feel. This is what a host is supposed to be.
With Lovely Lauren by his side I wouldn’t expect anything else. They are the essence of Good solid individuals that reflects their solid marriage.
We need more interviews Cam! This was GOODT🥰
Hanging with the loveliest Love is Blind couple. Thank you for the interview with Aaliyah!
genuinely thank you for giving aaliyah a voice! cameron facilitated this conversation so well and i feel like we understand more of what happened. i genuinely feel so bad for aaliyah, but i'm so glad she's better now 🤍
I still think Cameron and his wife are the best thing to come out of this franchise I have yet to see a connection like theirs and I wish the show had more authentic people like these two. Also Aliyah I feel so bad on how she was treated and I'm convinced Lydia and Uche are both idiots
Tiffany and Brett were an amazing couple as well ❤
I really enjoyed this interview Cam, great job 👏🏾 and Aaliyah thank you for your honesty and vulnerability gorgeous! ✨
Aaliyah deserves all the happiness, I'm so glad to hear she's living her best life pursuing her passions and doing things that fulfill her.
ohhh....the tea is piping!!! Let me take my seat. I'm glad she is able to tell her story!!
I’ll never forget the look on Lie-dia’s face as Aaliyah was sitting there telling her how she was falling for Uche and the things he said about falling for her and seeing her in his future. It was a look of “wow, he NEVER said that to me.” And she was disappointed!
THIS! And I believe that had a great deal to do with why she was so adamant about making certain statements (as a viewer I’m like “how can you say this, do you even know him like that?”) Only for the truth to come out. Lydia can say she was a friend and wanted Aaliyah to know the real, but I believe 2 things:
1: Once the cat was out of the bag, Lydia was info-bombing Aaliyah because she knew how turbulent the situation with Uche was and wanted make sure she got her side of the narrative on the table (not knowing why Uche may have said to Aaliyah).
2: Lydia was a little bitter at the fact that she was rejected in that Uche acted like he had no idea who she was through that wall, AND a small part of her wanted to sabotage the relationship because “Why does Uche get to be happy” while lowkey smiling inside at the possibility that Aaliyah does t get the guy in the end.
Great interview Cameron!!! Glad to hear Aaliyah’s perspective and I think she’s right, we’ll never know the whole story. Lydia and Uche are a mess.
Great video Cameron! Thank you for giving her a safe space to share her story. Wishing Aaliyah all the best!!
Not Nr Hamilton getting the tea before the reunion 😂Oh this szn messy messy
😂😂😂😂
Great interview. She was the only person I really cared about this season. I really enjoyed all the past seasons and cared for so many people and couples. Love is Blind became my favorite dating show because it focused on finding love and not drama. I hope they don't change and focus on creating drama and bombshells. And yes, I wish the Hamiltons would host the show!
Well done Cam. Thank you Aaliyah for being so open with us. ❤
Aaliyah girl you made the right call by leaving. You are too beautiful and genuine for Uche. He does not deserve you. And I truly believe production set you up. They put Uche and Lydia on this show for drama and ratings. And I don't believe for a second Lydia was a genuine friend.
So glad you're in a better space. Blessings to you and shine on beautiful! ❤
Thank you Cameron for giving Aaliyah a platform to speak. She's such a sweet spirit.
