@umngirl I don't know the stories about him calling exes after he returned from filming, but could it have been courtesy calls to let them know he was engaged? I've been in this situation and very much appreciated not having to hear it through the grapevine.

Based on what the exes have said, I don’t think it was a courtesy call to say he was engaged. More like hey don’t go to the press to share stories. And IMO he shouldn’t have called Lauren at all while engaged.

My problem with Arie's actions are solely on Arie and him continuing his shady behavior that I used to be more willing to give him the benefit of the doubt on.  

I'd call out any other lead for doing the same crap Arie has, so he gets no pass nor will I make excuses for him.  It was not all TPTB and manipulation no matter how this all plays out and at some point he better own his behavior.  And rewriting it and acting as if Becca never happened, well that's not owning it, IMO.  Man up Arie.

1. Trolled Lauren’s social media while engaged and liked her pictures.
2. Called multiple exes while engaged.
3. Go on and on about how happy he is right after the switch.
4. Completely disregard his feelings for Becca which seems to be his M.O. based on his blog posts and social media. JMO
5. Not done the d@mn show in the first place since I think it’s very obvious he has no clue what he really wants and probably doesn’t want to truly get married to begin with.

I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's day. Just thought I would post about a potential safe house visit going on now. If you listen to Arie's IG story,  he is watching Amazing Race and you can hear a woman laughing in the background along with Arie and the voice sounds exactly like Lauren's. I just thought I would point it out as I am 99 percent positive that voice was her's or producer Samantha's, but pretty positive it's Lauren's voice. Those tricksters, they can't fool us! I hope this finds everyone well.
