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.
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.
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.
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.
I haven’t even finished the interview yet and I’m already so impressed with both parties. He is asking thoughtful questions respectfully and she is so articulate in her responses. Most important is that HE IS LETTING HER SPEAK. Usually hosts constantly interrupt their guests and it ruins the interaction.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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 ❤
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!
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 ❤.
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.
Aaliyah leaving the show was the LOUDEST thing she did. She spent the entire time being walked on and being quiet. Her leaving was her finally standing up for herself. 🙏🏽
Her leaving was saying she wasn't ready to face her issues either. And her not speaking up is also an issue. She confided in women she did not know for help and she now sees that she can easily confide in the wrong person
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.
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
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...
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. ❤️🧡
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 😢
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.
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.
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...
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. 🙌🏼
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 🏃🏽♀️
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.
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.
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.
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. 💯
For what I saw in the show Uche likes light skin woman and he wants to control women and he saw that Aaliyah is a independent career driven person and Lidya fits most his style and they still have unfinished business, they are dragging Milton into this. Happy to see Aaliyah is happy ❤
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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!🙏🏻
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.
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.
Aaliyah wasn't his type. The way he been acting in these episodes, you'd think he lost perfection. Baby Aaliyah dodged a bullet. You are worthy of love Aaliyah. Bless your journey ❤
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.
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.
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’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.
You could tell just from watching her appearances on the show that Aaliyah is a bright, kind and good person. She was the last person to deserve this kind of treatment. Thanks for giving her this platform because I know they won't do her justice at the aftershow
I was so creeped out by the nerve of Lydia always being first to comfort Aaliyah and try to dig dirt on her and Uche’s relationship.. And when Aaliyah finally found out Lydia held it over her head as a gotcha. Tbf to Uche, he didn’t realize Lydia and Aaliyah had become so close. Thank god she left that show. He did show his true colors though, both when he got mad after hearing about the cheating (even though he wanted honesty) AND when she left and he berated and gaslit her over the phone bc the “experiment” couldn’t go on (on tv…). There was at no point any attempt from his part to understand how difficult of a situation she was put in, only manipulative and controlling behavior. Let’s be honest, the production definitely knew about lydia and uche and it destroyed the experience for all of them.
All this time I tried to give Uche the benefit of the doubt n understand where he's coming from. But just wow!! I really see it now..…What everyone had been saying.. esp in episode 8 he showed his real character. N we got more answers with Aaliyah's conversation. Also great interview skills Cam, kudos!! 👏👏
Aaliyah is stressing that everyone does things they aren’t proud of and that nobody should be judged solely by their mistakes. I don’t think her message is to continue the pile-on on Uche. I will say that he needs to get his eyes checked if he thinks Aaliyah isn’t stunning. That sounds like internalised racism to me actually.
@@jakestroll6518 She is stunning, not just for her looks, but has an engaging personality too. I hope she finds her match one day, and lives a fulfilled married life.
I agree. 🙂💯 a lot of African men and women, as well as black Americans, and all people of deep melanin skin tones are bullied/insulted or seen as less than. So there could be more to why certain darker skin individuals aren’t attracted to people they actually look like. I’ve personally never felt this way, but I could definitely see that being a contributing factor. It’s disappointing and sad. For myself, it’s been confusing and frustrating over the years, but I’m happy to be with someone who loves chocolate complexion! 🤎😇
@@aalove4 I am a white female, I haven't made those kind of experiences that are truly sad. Attractiveness, in my view, really doesn't depend on looks or tone of skin, it is the chemistry, connection, and for me personally, the ability to have meaningful interactions that determine whether somebody is alluring. Aaliyah, besides being so very beautiful, is so articulate, intelligent, not only on an intellectual level but also on an emotional level. I feel that any man/woman, that is graced by her friendship, attention or lucky enough to be in a partnership should drop on their knees and thank the universe. I am so happy you found love❤
After Aaliyah brought up about not being Uche’s type, part of me thought the same way. I believe Uche was negative towards Aaliyah because she wasn’t his type. Hopefully, she will find someone who will appreciate her.
Aliyah dodged a bullet! She is beautiful inside and out and is way to mature for Uche. He had some nerve to go on a show called “Love is Blind” and then tell her he’s not attracted to her. Don’t go on the show! You already know the premise of it.
Aaliyah is such a great person. My heart hurt for her watching Lydia insert herself between her and Uche. Such a good point she makes that if Uche truly wanted to be a partner and protect Aaliyah, he would of given her all the information about Lydia. He would of armed her with knowledge.
@@Fertie_roaminglensLydia contributed, but Uche knew Lydia was there the first day. He could have told Aliya much sooner in order to not blindside her. When Aliyah said they were becoming close friends he should have told her the truth immediately. Once he waited and told her later, trust issues began to form.
I agree, when Aaluya said - nobody was protecting me - I got it... the worst blows are the ones we get when we have our hair down, no defenses ready to protect us. Just like Chris Rock when Will Smith slapped him during the Oscar - it was particularly cruel to Chris because he had his hair down, he was so comfortable and free, nothing could go wrong in his mind, until it did from the person he least expected - these blows hurt the most...
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!
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 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.
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.
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! 💙
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.
Uche is selfish and he never takes Aaliyah’s perceptive to empathize her feelings. In his mind it’s always about himself and how he was hurt. It’s very single-sided mindset and he’s not emotionally capable to be a great partner to anyone
Sometimes someone’s rejection is god’s protection. Aaliyah seems like a genuine & sweet person. Uche felt way to comfortable being aggressive with her & had no empathy for her after what him & Lydia put her thru. I would hate to see her end up with someone like that 😔
Aaliyah is such a beautiful, kind and pure soul. She's a treasure and way too level headed to be associated with all of the looney people of this season. I'm so glad she left and is thriving ✨
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!
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 🤍
Aaliyah is such a genuine, sweet person. She was the only one I really cared about this season. She truly deserves to be with someone who will love and cherish her for the queen that she is. Wishing her the best of luck!
ME TOO!!! she's too much of what most people would say as "normal" for TV. Thank goodness for her purity. She's a good person and classy! That's why she's a nurse! ;)
Look at the Hamiltons getting the ACTUAL tea because we KNOW the Lachey’s won’t and never do at the reunions! Love this!
Yes❤
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.
Girl this is the oneee! Cam seriously did a great job and wasn’t pushy with it either 👏🏾
For real!
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.
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.
I honestly think Stacy is ready. She just needs to find a man in her league
None were ready.
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.
The producers see it but nick and vanessa got them in a chokehold
I agree. They would bring an authenticity that Vanessa and Nick do not have.
I agree but I think it's more of Cameron and Lauren not wanting to vs. LIB not offering...I could be wrong
@@joyous1011 nah they’ve hinted at Netflix being the ones holding it up several times
Any guy who ends up with Aaliyah is fortunate. She is beautiful, intelligent, gracious, empathetic and emotionally open.
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.
She’s in a new relationship and engaged so happy for her!
agreed! She is so calm and measured.... would be a great wife and mother.
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.
@@letzsnuggzzHow did he manipulate her? He said he doesn’t want her 🤦🏾♀️

@@letzsnuggzzwe dont always realize right at the moment we should. I’m just glad she eventually got it and got free.
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!
Cam has the healthiest masculinity ever. Folks could learn a lot from this man!
So true.
yes, he is a true masculine man. And he is so hot. Lauren is the luckiest, they both are❤❤
Very well said 🎉
Yessss
@@selfishgirlsgofirstAmen to this!!!
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.
For sure! It was a stanking hot ass mess. I felt no chemistry with any of the couples.
@@hadijatkubrat3580true no couple has that connection where we feel it from afar.
I haven’t even finished the interview yet and I’m already so impressed with both parties. He is asking thoughtful questions respectfully and she is so articulate in her responses. Most important is that HE IS LETTING HER SPEAK. Usually hosts constantly interrupt their guests and it ruins the interaction.
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.
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.
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.
ABSOLUTELY.
Agreed… I wish she hadn’t came back and told Uche she wanted to be with him!!!
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.
EVERYONE KEEPS SAYING THIS!!!! I MUST HAVE NOT SEEN IT, LYDIA WAS THE ONE WHO FREAKED ME OUT
@@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.
Nick and Vanessa could never. Thoughtful, vulnerable and hopefully truthful conversation! Would love more of these in the future.
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
After watching this I must agree
I am worried she will fall for another terrible man like Uche. Hope she learned and grew from that
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.
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.
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.
❤❤❤
🎯🎯🎯
I agree but also 1 on 1 is different from a group setting.
@@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
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🦋
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 ❤
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.
This was amazing to hear because the show only shows the drama but hearing her story explained a lot about everybody
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 🙌🏾
"Everyone does things that they are not proud of." Such a graceful human being. I appreciate her so much.
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 ❤.
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 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Aaliyah leaving the show was the LOUDEST thing she did. She spent the entire time being walked on and being quiet. Her leaving was her finally standing up for herself. 🙏🏽
I'm soooo glad she left! Production exploited her!
And yet she went back with him after the show 😂
@@e.c.1975 Keyword is after. She was smart to avoid that torture of seeing Lydia everyday.
@@e.c.1975yep
Her leaving was saying she wasn't ready to face her issues either. And her not speaking up is also an issue. She confided in women she did not know for help and she now sees that she can easily confide in the wrong person
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.
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
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...
She is GORGEOUS! My goodness. And so emotionally intelligent. I just wish nothing but good things for her.
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.
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. ❤️🧡
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!
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.
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.
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...
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. 🙌🏼
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
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 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.
I really respect Aaliyah. She handled this situation with grace and maturity. She should feel very proud of herself.
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. ❤️
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.
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. 💯
For what I saw in the show Uche likes light skin woman and he wants to control women and he saw that Aaliyah is a independent career driven person and Lidya fits most his style and they still have unfinished business, they are dragging Milton into this. Happy to see Aaliyah is happy ❤
I don’t think Lidya is easy to control , it looks like she is the controlling one with the way she treats Milton
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.
The most beautiful LIB interview I’ve seen. On both the guest and the host!
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.
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
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.
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.
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✝️♾️
Cameron is a really GREAT interviewer! Netflix should probably have that conversation 👀
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!🙏🏻
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.
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.
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!
No cap Aliyah needed her own platform to speak. I hope she’s able to write about this experience and host her own show.
Aaliyah wasn't his type. The way he been acting in these episodes, you'd think he lost perfection. Baby Aaliyah dodged a bullet. You are worthy of love Aaliyah. Bless your journey ❤

@@victoriaemerson-ds8du she did
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
Thank you Cameron. You asked the right questions and gave her the space to speak. Beautiful interview !!!!
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.
You could tell just from watching her appearances on the show that Aaliyah is a bright, kind and good person. She was the last person to deserve this kind of treatment. Thanks for giving her this platform because I know they won't do her justice at the aftershow
I was so creeped out by the nerve of Lydia always being first to comfort Aaliyah and try to dig dirt on her and Uche’s relationship.. And when Aaliyah finally found out Lydia held it over her head as a gotcha. Tbf to Uche, he didn’t realize Lydia and Aaliyah had become so close. Thank god she left that show. He did show his true colors though, both when he got mad after hearing about the cheating (even though he wanted honesty) AND when she left and he berated and gaslit her over the phone bc the “experiment” couldn’t go on (on tv…). There was at no point any attempt from his part to understand how difficult of a situation she was put in, only manipulative and controlling behavior. Let’s be honest, the production definitely knew about lydia and uche and it destroyed the experience for all of them.
All this time I tried to give Uche the benefit of the doubt n understand where he's coming from. But just wow!! I really see it now..…What everyone had been saying.. esp in episode 8 he showed his real character. N we got more answers with Aaliyah's conversation. Also great interview skills Cam, kudos!! 👏👏
Aaliyah is stressing that everyone does things they aren’t proud of and that nobody should be judged solely by their mistakes. I don’t think her message is to continue the pile-on on Uche. I will say that he needs to get his eyes checked if he thinks Aaliyah isn’t stunning. That sounds like internalised racism to me actually.
@@jakestroll6518 She is stunning, not just for her looks, but has an engaging personality too. I hope she finds her match one day, and lives a fulfilled married life.
I agree. 🙂💯 a lot of African men and women, as well as black Americans, and all people of deep melanin skin tones
are bullied/insulted or seen as less than. So there could be more to why certain darker skin individuals aren’t attracted to people they actually look like. I’ve personally never felt this way, but I could definitely see that being a contributing factor. It’s disappointing and sad. For myself, it’s been confusing and frustrating over the years, but I’m happy to be with someone who loves chocolate complexion! 🤎😇
@@charliebarrow7086she’s engaged now to somebody else
@@aalove4 I am a white female, I haven't made those kind of experiences that are truly sad. Attractiveness, in my view, really doesn't depend on looks or tone of skin, it is the chemistry, connection, and for me personally, the ability to have meaningful interactions that determine whether somebody is alluring. Aaliyah, besides being so very beautiful, is so articulate, intelligent, not only on an intellectual level but also on an emotional level. I feel that any man/woman, that is graced by her friendship, attention or lucky enough to be in a partnership should drop on their knees and thank the universe. I am so happy you found love❤
After Aaliyah brought up about not being Uche’s type, part of me thought the same way. I believe Uche was negative towards Aaliyah because she wasn’t his type. Hopefully, she will find someone who will appreciate her.
We see who his type is. Aliyah, you deserve must better than that Jerk.
I’m hanging with the Hamiltons… Cam Cam, you are killing it… great interview✨🔥
Aliyah dodged a bullet! She is beautiful inside and out and is way to mature for Uche. He had some nerve to go on a show called “Love is Blind” and then tell her he’s not attracted to her. Don’t go on the show! You already know the premise of it.
Aaliyah is such a great person. My heart hurt for her watching Lydia insert herself between her and Uche. Such a good point she makes that if Uche truly wanted to be a partner and protect Aaliyah, he would of given her all the information about Lydia. He would of armed her with knowledge.
I think Lydia destroyed what Uche and Aaliyah would have had ,i think she did it on purpose and now is claiming victim .She is very manipulative.
@@Fertie_roaminglens
Uche treated aaliyah like crap, nothing to do with Lydia. Both ladies dodged a bullet
@@Fertie_roaminglensLydia contributed, but Uche knew Lydia was there the first day. He could have told Aliya much sooner in order to not blindside her. When Aliyah said they were becoming close friends he should have told her the truth immediately. Once he waited and told her later, trust issues began to form.
I agree, when Aaluya said - nobody was protecting me - I got it... the worst blows are the ones we get when we have our hair down, no defenses ready to protect us. Just like Chris Rock when Will Smith slapped him during the Oscar - it was particularly cruel to Chris because he had his hair down, he was so comfortable and free, nothing could go wrong in his mind, until it did from the person he least expected - these blows hurt the most...

Thanks Cameron and Lauren for using your platform to allow beautiful Aaliyah to speak ❤. Great interview!
Cam this can be a great series, interviewing Love Is Blind casts. This is a great interview.
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!
Cameron is so respectful and was still able to get the answers we were all wanting to know.
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 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.
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.
Not Nr Hamilton getting the tea before the reunion 😂Oh this szn messy messy
😂😂😂😂
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! 💙
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.
Uche is selfish and he never takes Aaliyah’s perceptive to empathize her feelings. In his mind it’s always about himself and how he was hurt. It’s very single-sided mindset and he’s not emotionally capable to be a great partner to anyone
Sometimes someone’s rejection is god’s protection. Aaliyah seems like a genuine & sweet person. Uche felt way to comfortable being aggressive with her & had no empathy for her after what him & Lydia put her thru. I would hate to see her end up with someone like that 😔
I agree uche was very aggressive with her especially when she mentioned she cheated in the past when he held a secret from her all along.
Aaliyah is such a beautiful, kind and pure soul. She's a treasure and way too level headed to be associated with all of the looney people of this season. I'm so glad she left and is thriving ✨
Right! That part!🎉🎉🎉
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!
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.
love this ! thanks for letting alliyah share her story ❤
Aaliyah, you were my favorite person. I found you the most open and genuine. I wish you the best.
Lauren and Cameron being real hosts from afar, getting the real tea for reunions, that we actually care about 😂
Aaliyah is so pure, it's horrible what these two people did to her. I hope she gets the best possible love.
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 🤍
Well done Cam. Thank you Aaliyah for being so open with us. ❤
Aaliyah is such a genuine, sweet person. She was the only one I really cared about this season. She truly deserves to be with someone who will love and cherish her for the queen that she is. Wishing her the best of luck!
ME TOO!!! she's too much of what most people would say as "normal" for TV. Thank goodness for her purity. She's a good person and classy! That's why she's a nurse! ;)
