The Ultimatum's Blake Robertson Speaks Out - Ep 481
Content note: This episode contains discussion of alleged domestic violence and may be difficult for some listeners. If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, help is available through the National Domestic Violence Hotline by calling 1-800-799-SAFE (7233) or texting START to 88788. Please listen with care and skip this episode if needed.This week, we're joined by Blake Robertson, whom many viewers know from The Ultimatum. Since his time on the show, Blake has also been the subject of public allegations of domestic violence—a topic that understandably evokes strong emotions and one we strived to approach with care in this conversation.Our goal with this interview is not to tell listeners what conclusions to draw, nor to minimize the seriousness of domestic violence. Rather, we believe difficult conversations are best approached thoughtfully, with honesty, attention to detail, and room for nuance. In this episode, we ask Blake the questions many viewers have had since the allegations became public. He also discusses public scrutiny, accountability, personal growth, and what life has looked like after the cameras stopped rolling.More Blake:- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theblakerobertson- TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theblakerobertsonTime Stamps:0:00 - Welcome Blake Robertson1:35 - What Terms He’s On With Hayley Currently2:13 - Why Did He Propose?7:31 - The TMZ Article10:28 - After Filming The Show19:30 - Charleston40:49 - Scene 255:51 - Night Of The Arrest1:14:25 - The Affidavit1:17:24 - Finances1:22:40 - Did The Show Accurately Represent Their Relationship?1:26:06 - Beliefs1:28:43 - Regrets1:31:44 - Shandy DebriefIf you have a relationship question, write us at: dearshandy@gmail.comSubscribe and watch the episodes on YouTube! https://bit.ly/SubscribeDearShandyFollow us!Dear Shandy - https://www.instagram.com/dearshandySharleen Joynt - https://www.instagram.com/sharleenjoyntAndy Levine - https://www.instagram.com/machinelevineSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
