Conner, you don’t have to degrade a woman for another woman’s attention. Seek help.

You absolutely do not have to validate 1 woman at the expense of another - agreed!

Word!!

[@beautybliss21]

He could’ve been excited and showed Leah interest without shading Jana in that speech

[@lez2884]

He shaded Ja'Na several times to make Leah like him. And the joke is she never did. I have a little more respect for Aaron looks like he at least told Connor how he was moving looked real bad.

[@aya-_-3045]

Jana was hurt/upset by both connor and leah but she still remained respectful and allowed them to talk and get to know each other because she wanted them to be happy. So im not really understanding why he thought she was mean. If its because she was kinda upset over it, she had every right to be….She was getting screwed over in that situation and was at risk of going home because of them, but even then she was still so kind to them. And instead of communicating with her on where he’s at with leah, he just started completely avoiding her and then blindsighted her. It was extremely immature.

[@fluffyclouds555]

[@alenastewart4626]

Yea the microagressions are evident. The fact that he never has/had this energy for Leah who did not even like him 💀

[@skti5597]

Girl, you are a terrific interviewer. Your question about why he assumed JaNa was the aggressor in that Leah squabble was especially spot on. You asked everything calmly and respectfully. Not sure he gets it still but important that these questions were asked and he hears this feedback. His responses confirmed for me that he owes JaNa a direct apology.

[@positivelyuncensoredpodcast]

Thank you for leaving this comment! I prepared and practiced for this interview to my best ability because I knew I had hard questions to ask that I did not want to skim over, or risk the chance of not asking. When he mentioned the part about believing JaNa was the one being mean, I knew that gave me a great transition, as that was a microaggression in itself. I hope he gives 1 publicly too - not just privately we missed in the villa! I can't wait to hear your thoughts on future episodes, thank you again for taking the time to leave a comment!

[@kordei-7839]

He probably gets it but can’t answer it

[@patriciasmith8334]

Great interview! Got clarity on what happened eventhough he tried to play dumb on some of your questions. He admitted Ja'na was always respectful so I'm not buying it. He could have confronted her if he thought she was the aggressor with the Leah argument rather than be rude to her. Let's be honest, at some point she must have said or done something that he interpreted as a rejection or insult. That is typically what makes men hostile like that. And I think her being black added to his level of anger about it and it showed in how he treated her. He'll never admit it because then he'd have to reveal what really happened. And poor Ja'na probably doesn't even know what it was because it was totally unintentional. I'm looking forward to your next interview. I hope you get to talk to more of the LI cast.

He can just admit Jana wasn't his type. He only regrets shading Jana because of his image. And forgetting throwing her the glass of water ???? He is the worst.

[@lv2756]

Because Jana not being his type was never the issue. For example, I’m sure she’s not Aaron’s type but you’d never see Aaron treat her like that. Aaron is the type of guy that makes juice for all the girls in the morning, Connor is the type to gossip about women. It’s just a character thing.

[@crystalobaseki]

Leahhhhh! You completely owned this interview! Every time I had the thought “well what about when you did xyz” you asked it! You asked the hard questions. To me it’s very clear there was some microagressions incorporated based on the fact that he assumed JaNa was the one being rude to Leah when it was quite the opposite. When you asked about the two-face comment on IG I knew you were the right one for the job. I didn’t like that he used his like for Leah as an excuse for his treatment towards JaNa.

I actually thought that Connor was very cruel to Jana. He deliberately tried to paint her as this mean, aggressive person. He was constantly nitpicking at her , wanting her to blow up so that he could feel better about his terrible behaviour. Thankfully, she didn’t fall for it and he left the villa looking very silly. The joke is that Leah didn’t even like him at all. He should have been grateful that Jana even gave him the time of day because he was the least attractive man in the villa in my opinion Great interview btw. Watching from England

[@ske8254]

My thoughts exactly. Connor is such a loser. Thank goodness Kenny came in for our girl Jana.

[@recoveringgleek155]

What's killing me in this situation is how nice he remained to Leah after she basically stringed him along lmaooo. He had all this unwarranted heat for JaNa in the kissing challenge, the water cup challenge, the recoupling session, and his conversation on the dock, but Leah who spent days telling EVERYONE but him about how he gave her the ick, hates his pants and finds him repulsive gets away with nothing but kind words lol. He's the type of guy to only be nice with girls he's into and show resentment to girls he's not into. JaNa deserved better in those moments.

You asked the right questions Leah!!!. Great job especially catching the microagression and pinpointing that Leah Kateb approached him after Rob & she ended (just as we all suspected from the show). If you ever do a follow-up, would be great to know if he was able to see the things Leah Kateb said about him almost immediately following him picking her saying she had remorse, ick, etc. Seems like he should have way more 'shade/smoke' post show for the things Leah Kateb said in the 3 days they were coupled vs the week he was with JaNa. Hope he realizes that how mean spirited those comments were and why he would assume JaNa was 'being mean' and not the person who was.

A major red flag is when a man demeans one women (or his ex) to uplift another women. It also hits different when he shaded JaNa, unprovoked, being that she is a black woman.

This interview showed exactly what we suspected. Conman is a nasty individual who was repeatedly hostile and microaggressive toward JaNa for absolutely no good reason. Him making a point that he only had static with her is bizarre, given that he wasn't coupled up with those other women and neither was he constantly insulting or shading them. So, why would that matter? And then he has to acknowledge that he did actually have static with another woman in the villa and that was Leah, who treated him almost as badly as he treated JaNa. And yet, he has nothing but glowing words for Leah. The fact that he comes out of the villa still trying to shade JaNa by calling her two faced, not the woman who's been telling him she likes him while telling everyone else that he's basically a walking ick, tells us everything we needed to know.

[@positivelyuncensoredpodcast]

@@shanaimarkland7517 thank you for listening and for leaving a comment!❤️ super important to me that when I get the opportunity to do an interview, i not only hit on things that resonated with me the most, but I’m a voice for the audience and addressing things we have talked about all season. I can’t wait to chat with the finalists!❤️

[@evesmith6986]

This was a really good interview. Thank you for holding him accountable and asking the right questions. Not sure why he felt him and Leah had more in common when she basically felt he was not her type. Did this fool watch all the episodes when Leah was saying all these things about him. He is an ass, period.

[@chanellel190]

Firstly wonderfully executed interview! 👏🏽 So basically he assumed JaNa was the aggressor and was “being mean” to Leah and decided to dim her light and push her down in order to uplift Leah ?! Hmmm it seems like he intended on hurting her and was doing little things to try and bring “said aggression” out. How he treated JaNa in comparison to Leah was appalling, not entirely sure if his reasons justify his prior actions. Not a fan of Connor at all 🙅🏽‍♀️

[@Lee-ii9mk]

Why did he vote for JaNa being the most two faced then? Good interview watching from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@sheniarobertson9571]

Great interview on your part, he still doesn’t get it but they rarely do….

[@Rey-kx4lz]

Your grace and refusal to let him confuse you or forget the point of the questions made me sub! Cause... what a weirdo. I was actually rooting for him and then he flips in such a cruel manner. Thanks for the podcast!

[@ProvocativePhilosopher]

I LOVE how you conducted this interview! I had stopped watching Love Island USA because no one interviewing the contestants was asking the real questions. But now I wanna get back into just so I can watch you interview contestants afterwards and ask them what we all actually care about ❤

[@Neekalatti776]

He sounds like he was being an absolute dick to JaNa just to impress Leah, who was using him and lying to him the whole time she was coupled with him, he sounds like he still hasn’t realized that Leah made him look like a dumb ass and literally lied to him the whole time, he needs to wake up smh

[@D.J.Murphywrites]

Throwing shade to show Leah he likes her is so gross. “I wanted to hurt another women’s feelings to prove to Leah she is better” like what?? And the sad thing is it worked. Leah was giggling like a high school girl when he told her

[@ronayjah]

yeah it why i still side eye leah

[@S.kmss515]

You were a such fantastic interviewer!! Really impressed by the questions and follow ups and holding the interviewee accountable

[@bazelakhoza2123]

Thank you for your kind of questioning, you asked the right questions, he still sucks, they were still micro-aggressions because if it was not, he’d have the same energy for the girl who actually hurt him, he was so mean to her for no reason at all.

[@leezaleon937]

I think it's just denial on his part I just love the fact that he skips over the fact leah was talking about how he gave her the the ick and his skinny jeans but Jana expressing her feelings is where we draw the line 🫠

[@mars9842]

"in hindsight why did I do that?" because you are fake lol

[@GladToBeNatural]

When he says it doesnt come accross well. I wish he took accountability, it was partial and it seemed the interviewer had to help him take accountability. Subscribed. Glad he stayed for the whole interview

[@gallant3679]

this was such a good interview you asked incredible questions that gave us a lot of clarity on what happened between the two. I wish you were able to squeeze in some time to ask him how he felt about the whole leah situation as well how she knew she didnt like him from the night he coupled up with her and didnt say anything. But i understand you have limited time so thanks for what you were able to get

[@vanillaghetto]

Why does she "have limited time"?

[@WandaButler-x1g]

Jana really wanted to read him at the reunion, for the lies he has told on the podcast! I wish she would have had the opportunity. He worked hard at changing the narrative of his personality from how he was on the show!

[@公主_maya]

His treatment of JaNa was absolutely disgusting. So glad that he got kicked out of the villa.

[@debbiesackey5414]

If this guy says I love Jana one more time 🤬😡😡

[@lez2884]

I know; because he really hates her. That is the ironic part.

[@lavenderm8244]

Amazing job. I now want to know how he feels about what Leah said behind his back

[@GladToBeNatural]

He said Leah wasnt forthcoming. Hes giving her a pass

[@Grt486]

This was a great interview. I like your interviews because I can trust you to ask the right and hard questions. I felt like I got insight into his convos with JaNa and how they seemed surface level, which I have noticed in some of her other talks as well, but that was no excuse for the way he treated her. I was expecting you to ask more questions about how Leah talked so much stuff about him behind his back and basically played him the whole time, but he never seemed to get upset about that situation. If anyone, she should’ve been who he listed as two-faced.

[@wolfcrossing2010]

Thank you for answering the right questions and calling him out for how he treated JaNa. Most people have been biased with him so its good to finally see him be pressed.

[@milkchocolatebeauty78]

White skin privilege. Connor treated Leah better because of this. A lot of times dark skin black women get the short end of the stick and on these reality programs. And this is a prime example.

[@DH-rt6fl]

i am SO proud of how you STAYED ON HIS HEAD!!!🤣👏🏾👏🏾

[@Nataura1]

Wow; the interviewer is great! I love the way she’s asking the questions. Not accusatory but still holding his feet to the fire and asking what needs to be asked. Thank you!!!

[@necimercer9775]

Thank you for asking the right questions. I honestly did not like Connor’s behavior. He was rude and the minute he thought he had a chance with the girl he really wanted, he started being an asshole.

[@curly_liz7699]

This was the best post-show interview I’ve watched. I’m so happy you held his feet to the fire with the way he treated JaNa. Unfortunately I think he still doesn’t get it. I don’t think he showed any remorse for hurting and disrespecting JaNa. He obviously doesn’t hold her in the same regard as Leah. And the fact that he assumed JaNa was being mean to Leah and not the other way around is just crazy. Leah’s the one that was cursing people out, not Jana. He just kept saying he was sorry for how it came across. Hopefully he’s held accountable at the reunion.

[@genevieveaniko6492]

This whole interview was basically 'why are you a ahole Connor?' 😂

[@thatratbianca3766]

I’m so happy that you brought up the fact that he already assumed that Jana was the aggressor in the situation. It’s not as if Jana has a boisterous personality that is known for picking fights, if anything most would say Leah is more hot tempered and ready to go at it with someone than Jana, look how Leah has fought with rob 🥴, but he was like “ hehe idk I just thought she was being mean to Leah 🤥”. Um? What even basis was that assumption made on? Who has Jana fought in the past? Nobody. Who has Leah fought in the past? Well u all know. That assumption was simply a micro aggression and I’m so glad you clocked it here. Real journalism fr ❤

[@shakeraross1825]

Conner, how can you not see that your actions were micro aggressions. As usual, a Black woman being painted as aggressive and taking the brunt of negativity. All this is evident in how you treat Janea vs Leah. Like the part where you called her two faced when Rob was an option…Black women on reality tv deserve so much better.
