Things are about to spiral out of control for The Bachelor Clayton Echard. Entertainment Tonight shared what Clayton had to say about that time in his journey.

The issues Clayton had with some of the women seem to continue even after Shanae and Sarah were gone. In fact, in the preview, fans see him say, “I’ve given you everything! Don’t f**k with me. Did you just play me this entire time?”

Clayton seemed to think that one of his final three women was playing him as well. It was all getting to him. Clayton knew he had to figure out who was there for him.

He said, “I’m not going to say how many, but there’s some women that I felt, yeah, might have had their own agenda for why they came there. A fear of mine was, maybe there’s more and maybe I just haven’t been able to see it, because they’ve done such a good job of hiding it.” He continued, “More of that will be figured out as time goes on, but I was in a very dangerous spot mentally when I started to question the integrity of the entire experience.”

It gets even darker

Of course, things continue to get even worse for Clayton when he reveals that he was intimate with two women and in love with all three of them. However, Clayton asks viewers to reserve judgment until they see exactly why all this played out as it did.

He also wanted to remind everyone that everything that happens is because he allowed himself to be vulnerable and give each relationship a chance.

Clayton knows not everyone will be on his side.  He even said he’s not looking for everybody to side with him. However, he wants fans to know he did what he thought was best. He said, “I navigated a really, really sticky situation that… I don’t want to ever be in again.”

It’s going to cause a lot of discussions

Clayton said, “What I said felt justified based off of what all had occurred.” He continued,  “So I hope people see it for what it was and understand that, ‘OK, he said this because of this reason.’ I hope that will be obvious, but that is yet to be seen yet… Everyone has to kind of be patient, I hope, and allow the full story to come out.”

Clayton also said more about hoping fans would not think he’s a bad person.

I think it’s going to foster a lot of discussion. There’s going to be a lot of opinions. I know that, ultimately, I just hope that people understand that I did what I did with the best of intentions and that I’m not a bad person. I just followed my heart, but unfortunately doing that led me down a very unfavorable path that made things extremely challenging.

In the end, Clayton hopes everyone’s questions will be answered. According to reports, nothing was finalized in Iceland. He said the following.

I hope people understand that, ‘Hey, it’s a lot. I don’t think we can peg this guy as a bad guy from just what happened… He had a lot on his shoulders,’ But again, I accept full responsibility for everything I did. People will decide to cast judgment on my character when it’s all said and done and they have the right to do that.

Fans won’t want to miss the historic conclusion to Clayton’s season of The Bachelor.
