Shayne Jansen is sharing his side of the story...


The "Love Is Blind" star appeared on Wednesday'sepisode of Nick Viall's podcast, "The Viall Files," to address the what really went down with his former fiancé Natalie Lee.

Jansen was accused of using drugs during filming and hooking up with co-star Shaina Hurley after the show wrapped. He said his reason for coming forward on the podcast was because his ex, Natalie Lee, has shared her side of the story, and he wanted to share his.

Social media rumors accused him of "carrying cocaine on me and snorting lines and doing all this kind of stuff in the bathroom" while producers kept him under close watched. Jansen refutes this, saying,

"You have cameras here, cameras here, staring at you while you're confessing your love and you're talking about deep emotions. It's an uncomfortable situation, regardless. My wedding day, where I look like I was coked out of my mind, I didn't sleep for two days straight because I had no idea what [Natalie] was going to say at the altar."

As for Lee, Jansen said it's officially over.

"For the first time, I can confidently say that. If you asked me that a week ago, I wouldn't be able to answer that for you. I love Natalie but did I fall in love with the idea of her? I go back and forth and I think about it all the time."

He also addressed the rumors about his relationship with Hurley, who he was accused of cheating on Lee with. Jansen claims they have always been "just friends," adding,

"We bonded over the fact that we were both getting murdered on the show. [Natalie] was getting the best edit in the entire world, seeing all that hate I'm getting and she didn't once stick up for me."

Jansen said that he's now trying to distance himself from the rest of the "Love is Blind" cast to avoid further drama.
