Former 'Bachelorette' contestant Jason Tartick has spoken out about his friendship with Nick Viall after Viall trolled Tartick's ex-girlfriend Kaitlyn Bristowe on social media. Tartick had only positive things to say about Viall, stating, 'Nick's a friend. I love Nick.' He also praised Viall's podcast, calling it 'unreal.' When asked about Viall's comment on Tartick's Instagram photo, Tartick playfully replied, 'I'll leave that up for interpretation.'
The controversy arose when Viall commented on a shirtless photo of Tartick and his friend Tyler Cameron, saying, 'Nothing asexual about this.' This comment was in reference to Bristowe's recent podcast episode where she discussed losing her sex drive while dating an unnamed man. Bristowe had shared that she thought she might be asexual during that period but clarified that it wasn't necessarily about Tartick.
