Love Is Blind’s Michaella Giorgio has poked fun at her awkward onstage fall during the show’s intense reunion episode.
“Honestly, I got up [and] God pushed me down because the room needed the comedic break,” Michaella, 35, said in a Tuesday, November 10, Instagram teaser for the new “Viall Files” podcast episode. The tumble was televised during the Netflix reality dating series’ Sunday, November 8, airing, as Michaella attempted to approach the other side of a couch to console her emotional costar Sarah Williams.
Recovering gracefully at the time, Michaella bounced back from the mishap by sliding beside a laughing Sarah, 34, and telling her, “All to hug you … you’re welcome, guys.”
The moment helped return a smile to the face of Sarah, who had been rehashing lows from her broken engagement to John Shannon, including when he allegedly called her “dumb” prior to sending inappropriate text messages to a stripper. Michaella was one of several female participants who physically held Sarah as she began to cry while reliving her memories.
The “Viall Files” teaser also showed that Michaella was joined by Sarah in the upcoming podcast episode, with the latter captured speaking about her failed marriage with cohosts Nick Viall and Natalie Joy Viall. “People’s brains get f***ed up for life being in relationships like this. If you do not separate yourself now, like, you could be f***ed up for life,” Sarah told them.
Michaella’s own broken relationship with Rob Feeley was also under the microscope in the teaser. After Michaella broke up with fiancé Rob, 40, ahead of their scheduled season 11 wedding due to heated confrontations, Rob revealed during the reunion that he had sought therapy to address his behavior.
“He’s being celebrated for maybe, I don’t know, six or seven therapy sessions, and I’m breaking my back over here with a life coach, and a therapist, and my deescalation skills, and the way I show up for women,” Michaella said on the podcast in response to Rob’s reunion appearance. “It was insane.”
Michaella Giorgio can sympathize with her Love Is Blind fiancé Rob Feeley’s mom having doubts about the experiment. “I can understand her perspective. This is a huge deal,” Michaella, 35, exclusively told Us about her future mother-in-law’s feelings about the Netflix show. “Marriage is a really big choice.” She continued, “We both hold our family […]
During season 11, Michaella and Rob got into a heated exchange while in a bar with Rob’s friends, with Michaella stating during a later confessional that she felt that Rob was “coming after” her and alleged he believed she joined the show for the wrong reasons — which she repeatedly shot down.
A subsequent outing with fellow Love Is Blind couples and singles saw Michaella and Rob argue about her connection with Matt Waldrip, better known as “The Beekeeper.” The event led to the pair officially ending their engagement.
Although it is unclear which of the two scenes Michaella refers to, she addressed the fallout of the drama during the “Viall Files” teaser. “Not one man from the cast has texted me and said, ‘Hey, I saw that scene, I’m really sorry for what you went through and that’s incredibly disappointing,’” she was heard telling the hosts.
