What they’re saying

“I reached out to him, and he said, 'Give me some time.' It's a tough job we do…And so like I was like, 'I appreciate it, man, like, I'm sorry, and I'd be happy to talk to you about it,'”

“Craig was in the hot seat for a lot of it, obviously, but I mean, to the man's credit, and I told him after, he really took his licks, and he really held himself accountable and admitted that he needed to like, really consider some behavior. So I think he's trying, he's got a good heart.”

— Whitner Slagsvol (Parade)

“Had someone had cameras on me during that time, it would have been probably good TV and I even said to Venita [Aspen], I'm pretty sure on camera, but I mean I talked to her about it other times, I was like,' You're my girl and you're sweet,' but had anyone had any commentary about my breakup, I would have had their head on a spike.”
