Bryant admitted that she knew of Dixon’s affair on the Reasonably Shady podcast. She said the woman in questioned direct messaged her on Instagram to give her details about her interaction with Juan. Robyn didn’t reveal the information until the season wrapped, and after they filmed the reunion special. In a recent interview with PEOPLE, Bryant elaborated on why she didn’t bring the information to the show during Season 7.
“It was just not really my story to tell,” she said. “And I’m going to support my friend.”
She also alleges she didn’t remember by the time filming began. “I forgot about it, to be quite honest,” Bryant claimed. “I think people think we film 24-7, 365 days a year. We don’t! And that situation was like, months and months prior to us filming.”
Despite Bryant being viewed as a troublemaker who brings rumors to the show to hide whatever is going on in her life, Bryant says it’s not true, saying she doesn’t like bring up old rumors. She added: “People need to understand, we film in a vacuum. We film certain months. And it’s about what’s happening in those months,” Bryant says. “Robyn and Juan were at a great place — I mean, she was planning her wedding! I didn’t get why everybody was like, ‘She should have talked about it because it happened.’ I don’t want to bring up when my boyfriend cheated on me in high school. But y’all want me to?”
Ashley Darby says she doesn’t believe Juan Dixon’s version of events in his scandal
Robyn alleges that Juan told her that he never met a woman at a hotel to have sexual contact with her.

In an interview with Morally Corrupt, Darby says Juan’s story doesn’t make sense.
“I’d be lying if I said the story wasn’t fishy,” she expressed. “As they say, ‘the math isn’t mathing’ for a lot of it. “Why did the woman come down? Why did she and Juan ever connect? Why did he feel the need to help her? All of those things just start sounding really murky, and some part of me thinks that Robyn just really wants to believe that.”
Darby further explains that she believes Robyn simply wanted to give Juan a chance. “Part of me thinks that Robyn is not lying, and she just really believes this cause she wants to give Juan the benefit of the doubt,” she added.
