Blake and many viewers were taken aback when Jett asked the editor about his sexuality and appeared to flirt with him. By the end of the conversation, he reluctantly agreed to an Instagram photoshoot with Jett at a local skating rink.

However, Blake had another awkward encounter with his castmate when Jett wanted him to pose in specific ways, crossing the editor’s boundaries and upsetting him.

Lynn later told her husband to apologize, and it appears the three are on good terms. The interactions caused many viewers to speculate about Jett’s sexuality, and Blake has since come to the defense of his co-star.

On his Instagram story, the editor said he considers Lynn and Jett “family” and is surprised by the speculation about the former MTV producer’s sexuality.

“These crazy accusations and rumors are exactly what I stand against and can actually damage families!” He added. After claiming the couple is “madly in love,” Blake changed gears and acknowledged Jett’s invasive line of questioning.

He explained his co-star asked him about several different things and believed the edit made it seem “more shocking” than how it happened. He then insisted that Jett and Lynn aren’t homophobic and asked for “grace.”

However, the former producer appears to be happily married to Lynn, his partner of 26 years. According to Jett, the two met at a New York-based nightclub when he noticed her in a Chanel outfit dancing on a speaker.
