Spoiler- Jasmine seemingly responds to Demi's post reunion interview
Demi was on Will Njobvu's podcast here released 6 hours ago where she was asked about her friendship with Jasmine and referred to it as a "grey area". Below was Jasmine's story 3 hours later.
What was said:
IMPORTANT: Demi didn't go into specifics, but she said that there's probably something that she(Demi) did that may have upset people and that they took it the wrong way, but they're all human.
She says Jasmine is very good friends with Sharlotte and her and Jasmine are also very good friends, but she attended an event(I'm assuming the wedding episode viewing party) where she kind of felt isolated and doesn't know where they stand.
What Jasmine is probably upset about: Because Jas and Sharlotte are friends, She says she pulled away from her friendship with Jasmine because what's happened in her past friendships is that there's been a lot of betrayal and deceit, and that she hates being isolated, reaching out to people and not getting communication in that moment. (The way she explains it is very weird & there's a chance most people could interpret this as her saying Jasmine may betray her. It's probably what Jasmine thinks as well)
More Context:
- Demi said that because her and Sharlotte have a mutual friend(Jasmine) the dynamic was that they'd both spend time with her at different times. In her head, she assumed that it was because she's probably seeing Ollie.
- Just before the show came out, Sharlotte asked Demi to go for a walk and Coffee where she revealed her & Ollie's dating history and what's going on.
- She appreciated it and says it was nice to know what was going on even though Sharlotte didn't owe it to her, and that they're cool.
- Ollie and Demi had been texting before the show but he didn't clearly say that he and Sharlotte were in a relationship, he just checked in on her. She says it showed a lot of people's character cause Sharlotte was the one who did and not Ollie.
- So the story that she was told is different from what played out at the reunion. (My take is that Sharlotte has probably been getting bullied online so they probably decided to play down their relationship, which is okay)
- She says that out of respect for herself, there won't be a friendship with Ollie, and there won't be a friendship with Sharlotte.
Observations:
It's clear that Demi thinks Jasmine knew about Sharlotte and Ollie's relationship and she resents her for not telling her about it, but I don't think Jasmine knew much about them at all or even wanted to get in the middle of it. Ollie said in a podcast yesterday that he and Jasmine haven't talked since the show filmed and Jasmine still hasn't apologised to him over the confrontation that happened at the retreat in Greece. From that, I think Jasmine has a friendship with Sharlotte but it's not like her and Bobby have double dates with them or something. Her and Ollie don't even follow each other and I don't think she likes him at all. Demi is valid for feeling how she does, but I don't think its fair to expect Jasmine to choose between them if they've been friends since the pods happened. Especially since she even acknowledges herself that Sharlotte hasn't done anything wrong. She had a connection with Ollie in the pods as well.
