(when he didn't need to)

FOUR months after The Bachelor and Blake Garvey’s contractual obligations with Channel 10 and Shine Australia have finally ended, so he’s decided to speak up.

Garvey, who was quickly cast as “Australia’s most hated man” after the reality show’s shock conclusion, has now come out and slammed both the network and the production company, claiming he was unable to defend himself against the nationwide backlash.

“That was the worst weekend of my life,” the 32-year-old real estate agent told Fairfax Media of the fallout, claiming that his social media accounts remained blocked while ex-fiancee Sam Frost was allowed access to her own.

“I saw that Sam tweeted something and so I asked if I could as well and they said, ‘Do not, don’t you dare’, because at that state they still had my accounts shut down. But they told me to trust them,” Garvey said.

He also claimed it was Frost who actually suggested the pair should call it quits, but when it came to crunch time she let him take the fall.

“We were just two people who weren’t happy at the end of the day and we both knew that, but there’s knowing it and doing something about it.”
Garvey, who is now happily dating fellow contestant, Louise Pillidge, said producers and publicists knew there was trouble in paradise before he appeared on The Projecttelling co-host Carrie Bickmore that his “heart is broken” and allowed her to ask him if there was anyone else.

“They [The Project] were aware that things for Sam and I didn’t work out very early on after filming and that there was something happening with Louise but I was told I couldn’t talk about that in the first interview I did,” he said.
