She began: “There’s no way I’m going to smack him because I think he was having a really hard time anyway when our breakup came out, so I’m not going to add anything to that because I don’t think it’s fair.
“Obviously everyone was aware of the videos and pictures coming out of him and his arms around girls in nightclubs and whatever on his PAs.
“I was ready to put them behind me and move on because at the end of the day it’s like an arm around me. You can get over that.
“But then I got sent more videos of him on nights out that didn’t go viral and that were really dodgy. They were shady and I just wasn’t comfortable with them and that’s not a relationship I want to be in.

She continued, “I want to be 100% sure that my guy is only for me and doesn’t want to be accessible to others. So we couldn’t agree.
“He went to Bali and from there it just fell apart. I just texted him that that’s stupid, that doesn’t work. We don’t even talk while we’re on vacation. It’s clear that something has shifted between us. So yeah, let’s just call it a day.
“And there was no fight for it. It was just obvious that the relationship was going in that direction.
Shady: She insisted there was “no bad blood” between the two and that they were both happy to go their separate ways
