Carlton Morton and Diamond Jack open up about their experience on the Netflix reality series — and what's happened since
and never having seen one another, Diamond Jack and Carlton Morton got engaged. When they finally were able to meet in person, the sparks continued to fly.Shortly after they settled into their room, Carlton, who is 34 and works with kids who want to be models and actors, revealed something he hadn’t told Diamond before he popped the question: He had previously slept with both men and women.
Diamond, who is 28 and working on her PhD in optometry, was taken aback and felt that Carlton had lied to her by not revealing this information while they were getting to know one another in the pods. And Carlton took Diamond’s surprise as rejection.The conversation continued the next day and quickly spiraled, with accusations, name-calling, a drink in the face and even a diamond ring hurled into the pool.
PEOPLE: Your connection in the pod seemed so genuine. It was really beautiful. But right when you got to Mexico, all of a sudden the vibe was off. Carlton, do you feel like maybe you came in with a chip on your shoulder and assumption of how things were going to go?By the time we got to Mexico, my nerves were just shot… I got to Mexico and I had a conversation with producers that it had gone too long and I needed to tell her, but so much has happened.
You’ve now had all of this time to process everything that happened. What would you do differently or how would you handle it differently?I feel like we were met with some things that neither one of us really knew how to handle at that time and may not have handled that situation in the best way. I would listen more than speak because even though it was a new experience for me, it was a new experience for her.
What do you want people to know about who you are that maybe you feel it doesn’t show up on the show?I feel like if people cannot see that I’m a kindhearted person, they’ve already seen what they want to see in me… It’s evident in the types of messages that I’m getting. So there’s literally nothing that I can say to make them feel different. It is just one of those things that happened and I’m confident that God has a bigger lesson from this whole experience.I feel like I put my heart out there.
