Lauren then claimed that her loved ones have also made similar comments. She said, "My family in the beginning, definitely in the earlier episodes, especially the matchmaking type of phase, they were like, 'So, why wasn't Michael your match?' I've had family members that were like, 'I feel like just objectively viewing this, Michael [should've been your match].'"

I unfollowed him but she said that it didn't matter because I was the ultimate betrayal for following home on social media." Lauren continued, "And I don't know, I just think the whole thing is petty, because I've known Michael kind of longer than I've known you, or at least I met him before you."
Lauren also shared, "And she is friends with Austin, and thinks there's nothing wrong with her being friends with Austin but wants to block me from having friendship with Michael."
