E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Like, I can't emphasize that enough. So really can't emphasize that.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
But wait, who are those some people? Just so you guys, I mean, this happened at the end of March and this didn't get brought to me until the end of June. Just so you guys know. When cameras were rolling. Yes. So like the way that it worked, like, These people knew about it. Brad, TJ. And I'm giving Maddie and Michaels an exception to this because one, Maddie didn't owe me anything at that point.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
We were just rebuilding our friendship. She doesn't owe a conversation with me about it. And two, Michaels didn't have a relationship with Will. So I can understand where Michaels felt uncomfortable and Michaels and Maddie did not want to speak on it.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
You know, it's Brad and TJ who have a relationship with Will and I for three years now who know the both of us, who had every opportunity to have said something to us between the end of March and before filming started. And even when filming started, it was like, yeah, they had a conversation with Will, but then they love to be like, you know, we're closer to Emmy.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
OK, then where was my conversation with you guys? The dinner table at the lake house with 12 people around us, eight cameras and a production team behind us. That's when you finally want to bring up something that you know is something I've definitely like was hard in our relationship that, you know, because you've been best friends with us. I'm like, you want me to sit here now and be calm?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Because it was on the clock. I think that Michaels felt like it was manager Michaels. Not my circus, not my monkeys. This is not my relationship, not my business. Like, I don't know Will enough to get involved in it. Michaels also,
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
wasn't even 22 years old yet when it happened he's a baby he's 21 like he's learning life himself still so i give him a lot of grace for that once those cameras are rolling he sat you down well that was once it had already been brought up on camera for the past week and lake when lake came to him at the front door that was the first time he realized that people were talking about he did not say anything and once the toothpaste is out of the tube in front of the camera is like
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
it's kind of like, yeah, it's good to deal with it.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And Michael's coming to me one-on-one. I respected that. I didn't lose my shit. I stayed very calm. I was like, this is great conversation. It's once I have an, and I get it, like I get it, but these are supposed to be like my real friends, like not just like my show friends. Like these are people who we vacation with and spend our free time with the other nine months of the year.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And for me, I was like, You really think I'm going to think this authentic if you're going to sit me at a table right now on Lake Sport? This is a classic Bravo move right here.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
But that's what I'm saying. I'm like what I tried to explain. I don't know if the viewers got this was like my relationship is between Will and myself. I'm not going to go around yapping about our relationship. My bad. Because I'm like, I know what job I have. I know what career this is. And I know how evil our castmates can be. And I know how they can twist narratives.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And I know how they can mess with people's storylines and their lives. And I don't trust them to a certain degree, especially with something that's so valuable to me, which is my relationship with Will. This isn't some funny... like game to me. This is my life. This is the person I've been dating.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
happened on camera once they bring it up on camera and then once they bring it up on camera it happens you know what i'm saying like it's it's hard though i'd rather it have happened on camera because then you have all the context but when the story's told months later and i've already gone through all the emotions and process this and healed the issue in our relationship and then it's like okay i'm on a tv show now and this is three months later right i know how this show works you have to film it for 10 weeks
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
You have to go on your green screens then for the next six months. And then you have to go sit at a reunion in February. And I'm like, okay, this happened in March. This is 10, 11 months later now from an issue that if it would have been during filming would have only been like eight months later. So it's like, I really don't get to just put a lid on what happened.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
It's like, you have to keep reopening it and living it and go. And I'm just kind of like, Oh my God. And like, no one was listening.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Yeah. I mean, for me, because they're like, well, why didn't you come to us? And I'm like, you're still the ones that brought it. You're still the ones that brought it to me. You still did it. You can't tell me that you felt comfortable and all of a sudden at Lake's birthday is when you finally feel comfortable
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Yeah. Oh, trust me. I mean, Brad's just done a good job of hiding it.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I mean, it all starts from the very beginning, which was in season one. Me, Maddie and Will, we kind of brought these cheating allegations to Brad being like, we know that you slept this woman. And he was homewrecking a relationship, homewrecking a relationship when this woman was dating another man. Bradley was Bradley was while Bradley was seeing Maddie's best friend.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And these two women work together at Republic. And so we outed Brad for that. Maddie then says that she saw him getting a BJ behind the Republic alley. She outs him for that. Brad is very. Now, listen, I'm pretty sure those are both. I know the first one's true. The second one, I'm like, OK. And so Brad's pissed off. And six weeks before we start filming season two.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
his client and him, you know, essentially... He found a girl. He found a girl that had gone out with Trevor one night and the girl, Sammy, the real story is she went out with Trevor and she actually made out with his friend at the bar and went home with his friend. Never Trevor. And...
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
For the next six weeks, Brad and this girl were conspiring to get her to hang out with Trevor again so that they could make out.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And yes, coaching her. And when that didn't happen.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And Maddie and Trevor. Maddie and Trevor's. And just so we are clear, in the group chat is myself, Will, TJ, Joe Bradley, Mia Alario, and Bradley Carter himself. So just so we know.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And I came to Maddie the night before the reunion because I just have had too many crazy things dropped on me on the stage, like with the cameras and everything. And I had so much. Will wasn't there either. Will didn't bring this to Maddie. Will wasn't in the room.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I was alone with Maddie. Joe wasn't even there. And I looked at Maddie and I said, has Joe told you the truth about what Brad did? And she goes, no, what are you talking about? And my heart's like beating out of my chest. And I'm like, Brad conspired with Sammy and lied. Trevor never cheated on you with Sammy. Brad made it all up. You were right the entire time.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He, you know, what was really just... Rich is like, he's so good at lying. We forgot the truth during filming. Like it wasn't until we went to a dinner. I remember like Brad saying something and Will being like, What? Like, he was so good at, like, we forgot that it wasn't even real. The people that were, like, aware of it forgot that it wasn't even real.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
TJ was texting Brad saying, I'm going to out you for making up the Trevor Sammy cheating rumor.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And so full circle then, you know, we start filming season three and I'm like, okay, it's going to be all kumbaya.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He's going to out me for this. I would have never told him. And I'm like, you know, Will and I aren't innocent of this either. We were complicit in knowing the information and not speaking up. But we didn't conspire with Sammy. If you watch season two, you don't see any scenes of Will and I bringing her around or anything.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Yeah, we had our own shit going on. But, I mean, it's messed up.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He was in the original group message. The group message. This happened April.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
It was a short reunion. They cut a lot of it. I mean, all this was spoken about, but only so much was made the cut.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I think more importantly, the thing with Joe is that how do you tell the woman you're dating, by the way, I was complicit in a fake cheating rumor against you and your ex-boyfriend?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Yeah. Amy, how's your heart? My heart's great. I'm doing great. Are you? No, I am. My heart's good. But we're like, what? What do you mean?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I also think you kind of get wrapped up in the game. Like sometimes you get wrapped up in the whole, no pun intended, but production of it all. You just got wrapped up in it. And I think for some people, for Joe, probably his motive was Trevor's a shitty dude. I don't like him anyways. He cheated on you once. You shouldn't be in this relationship. Like, I don't really care. And for Brad, it was...
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I'm going to ruin your relationship because I'm vindictive and spiteful and I want to see you miserable. And so it's two different motives with the same conclusion.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
So let me clarify this. Will texted Austin's girlfriend's brother. The night of prom. The night before, the night, was it the morning?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
The day of prom. Because all of a sudden, shit's getting fishy. Everyone's acting weird. I'm trying to mend my relationship with TJ and Brad. They're acting weird as shit. And I'm like, something's going on.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
It's happy. It's sunny and pretty in L.A. I mean, I'm always a ray of sunshine.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And we're like, what the hell are they doing? So we're like, okay, let's call.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
We don't know what's going on. So we're like, okay, what do we do?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
So, Allie, like, is... Her brother then, I guess, reaches out to her and is like, what the hell is going on? And Allie ends up calling me. And this is before, literally right before I go to prom. She tells me Austin was encouraged to exaggerate the rumor or to make it more juicy.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
People, people, probably with some headphones and microphones. Yeah. That basically she was like, this isn't true. Like he's just been encouraged to talk about it for juiciness. And I'm like.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I don't trust anyone. I was like, I'm recording this.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
This rumor really flopped with Austin after Vegas. I mean, if you guys watch the episode when they're at Run Club, Austin's like, I don't know anything else going on. I don't know.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And he's like, I don't know anything else. And then then Brad and TJ are like, we will go.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
We're going to take this truth and we'll build two lies. And this is going to be magic. That's why at the finale, it makes more sense now. Why? When we went to go talk to Austin, TJ and Brad came around because Austin Austin probably didn't believe the rumor anymore at that point because he was like, there's nothing else.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Also, Craig walked away when he got accused of Paige cheating on him in that scene last season. I'm like, people walk away when it's so dumb. Why would you give it any breath?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
It was two nights. Who's just a friend that happened to be a female in a situation where... She was in a bad situation and she was moving into the apartment complex and you said, you can...
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
They're the kind of people that are also like, keep us totally involved in your relationship, tell all of us, but shame on Will for telling anyone about your relationship. I'm like...
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
You know, the funniest thing, Will didn't even go to the barrister's ball.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
To be humiliated. They're expecting this to be true. So they're expecting me to invest my time into making a law school prom reenactment, you know, during filming. And then for my friends in the middle of this prom to drop, hey, by the way, Will cheated on you with the girl that he brought to his law school prom. Bam. And I'm just kind of like, You guys are fucked up.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He didn't trust that they would tell the truth.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
We have the same birthday, March 12th. It's two days.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Will was my F45 trainer and I just remember I posted on my birthday and you responded to my story. I was dating someone else at the time and you responded to my story and you were like, oh my God, we have the same birthday and I was just like, no way. And he sent me a picture of his license and I was like,
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
None of our actual friends that aren't on the show, none of my girlfriends came to me. No one ever heard any of this.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
that's cool and then see you on Tuesday at the workout I'm like okay you're like cool bro and then a few months later I mean honestly three months later we started seeing each other yeah we had like a not a rocky start but it was not like one day are you gonna be my girlfriend and then we started dating no it was very much so like
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
For me, that was the craziest part, too. And I don't know if it made the cut, but I literally said, it took Mia... 24 hours to hear that Will talk shit about me. You think it's going to take seven months to hear that Will's cheating on me and taking other people to the... There's going to be pictures. There's going to be text messages. There's going to be a roommate.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
There's going to be so much evidence. You think it's going to take seven months?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
The girls are not tight. That's my biggest issue with this season. There was no investment in having a girls night and getting us all getting to know each other and us having our own. We never had one scene where it was just like the girls filming together. And for me, I'm just kind of like, I'm not going to get to know these people in these different environments.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
You know, Grace and Maddie, I've known for a long time. Mia didn't film besides the last three weeks of filming, you know, because she was in Trinidad. She was gone. And so for me, I was like, I don't know who Molly is.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Grace is iconic. She's not in every episode. Grace means well. Okay? Grace means well. Like, at the end of the day.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I mean, Michael was a real one during all that. It didn't make the cut, but he stood up for me. Did he? He was yelling at Molly at one point.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Yeah, and I'm not going to give her any here. Okay, period.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
You know, I just, you know, from my wish, you know, for next year is that there's actual girls who want to be on the show, women that want to be on the show that have their own identity and that don't have to leech onto mine that can make their own statement and be interesting by themselves who are a little bit more mature and actually captivating and interesting. Yeah.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And that fit well with the group and will last for a long time. Because if I'm going to be with you for a long time, I mean, the girls got to stick together.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Mia has taken the bitchy title. No one else can take it. We need other different personality types.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And then was it like a run in or did someone reach out and be like, hey, we just always kind of ended up in the same place. But we never admitted that we just liked each other and liked each other.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I will start. Yeah. We'll explain. So let me give you full backstory. Saturday night, this is before the shift. I start getting really sick. It's like midnight. I can't swallow anything. My throat's killing me. I'm like crying. We're sleeping out at Will's parents' house. It's like now like two in the morning and I'm like, Will, just give me NyQuil. Give me something. We have to film tomorrow.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Like I need to sleep. I need to sleep. And Will gives me like two NyQuil. And so I wake up and I'm like in a fucking trance. Don't know. I'm hot. I'm cold. I'm overstimulated. We try filming with Will's family that morning. I'm like crying in his mom's bathroom. I'm like, I don't feel good. I feel really sick. And they're like, you don't have to go to work.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And funny enough, I'm thinking to myself, I don't trust that my truth will be told that I actually called out sick. So I'm going to go to work. You know, Maddie's now DJing. She's not working. And one of the other girls has called out sick. Siobhan's going to be alone. I'll go work with her so she doesn't have to work alone. LOL. And I end up going to Republic.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And, you know, you see the scene of me leaning against the bar and I look at Will and I give my thumbs up to him. And it's because he's making sure I'm OK because I felt like such shit. And Siobhan pulls me aside. I was like, hey, can I talk to you? And this is a girl that has been my girl at Republic, makes me cookies every week. She's flown me down Wawa from New Jersey before.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
This isn't just my coworker. And she's like, I need to ask you a question. And I'm like, okay, you look so nervous. What's up? And she's like, so you're an ambassador for I guess now I'm not on TV, so I can say the brand. You're ambassador for Revolve. Like you get commission every month and you have an affiliates link. Like, are you using your monthly commission to pay for the dresses?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And so then you can pocket that money and go spend it wherever you want. Or are you using your link so that you get commission off of purchasing the dresses and making, you know, 10, 15% off the dresses? And I'm dumbfounded. I'm like, what?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
In the moment, I was really like, oh, you are so dumb for being such a smart person. Just so you know. But I was also like, at the same time.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And I mean, my whole thing was they don't show, but I pull up my affiliates link. I show her everything I've ever been gifted. I show her everything that's been bought online. And that month so that she could see that I didn't like use my link to get commission. I show her everything and I show her the actual invoice where I use like my Amex to buy it.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And what got to me though, was she was really intent and was like, I need to know if I'm getting fucked over. And I'm like, I am a VIP server on an equal platform like everyone else. I am not the AGM. I am not the VIP leader. I'm a VIP server. I order these dresses for the girls because I want to do a kindness to Michaels to help him out, have his load be easier. And I know everyone's dress sizes.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I know Maddie and Eva need an extra, extra small. I know that we can't have bra straps showing. You can't have midriff showing.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
In the moment, I'm thinking, damn, what's going on?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
That's what the other VIP server said to me. One of the VIP servers, Julie, came up to me. She goes... It's kind of weird that they would be like... She's like, my VIP server, Julie, she came up to me and she was like, you know, I mean, you spend all the time and the effort looking for the dresses, picking them out, ordering them, doing our returns for us.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I was so like, I was so fucked up on NyQuil. I was so exhausted. I was so tired. I was the audacity to me because she's not on the show and it's in the middle of our shift at work and the response no matter what was going to be like me freaking out and disrupting the workplace. So I found it inappropriate to begin with. And secondly, I was just like, What the fuck?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I was just like... Your response was off the wall.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
They haven't told us yet, but usually it's like mid-May.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I don't give a shit. Eventually, Will's going to graduate law school and be a lawyer.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And what's also so dumb too is like, I don't think, I don't know if people know this, but like Will broke his ankle like last New Year's. He had to get surgery and a plate and six screws put in his ankle. He couldn't even drive a car. So I was living with Will for like six weeks.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Driving him to school every day. Bringing him lunch. Like, I was at that. I'd have to get his knee scooter out so he can knee scooter around. Like, during this said cheating rumor accusations. I'm like, Will can't even drive a car. He can't even do anything without screaming in pain. I mean, look at him. Y'all think he's fucking a girl in the bathroom. Look at him with his little neck tweak.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Like, you think with a little ankle pain, like, he's going to wake up in the middle of the night and, like, scooter down. Like, are you kidding me? So, it was just pathetic to me. Do you think TJ plays the victim? Uh-huh.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I mean, we've known this group for so long. So to ever think that 90% of the time their intentions are in good faith and because they care is bullshit. So like a lot of the time during filming, It just was hard to, you know, listen to half the people that were talking to us because we're like.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
No one's disputing that. Joe was blackout drunk.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And, you know, Joe had a girlfriend at the time.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
when it happened in summer of 2021, just to clarify.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He's been talking about it season one, season two, season three. It's always been a conversation.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
We didn't because it was never TJ pulling the moves. The accusations were Joe was pulling the moves, if that makes sense.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
exactly but that's what I mean you know that I think is where it kind of became I don't know why we never thought of it like this I mean because we've talked about it for three years I mean he didn't you have Joe being sitting at the reunion being like dude like I guess I'll take your word for it I was blackout drunk
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And why didn't you go to him? You know, back to the whole case in point, like go to the person in the situation where you have the problem with. Like for me, I was like, you should have gone to Joe. If you created a narrative that Joe's in love with you over it, you should have gone to him asking his intentions behind it.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And when it finally came out that he didn't even remember it there, like you spent three years creating a false narrative over something that you
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He doesn't care if he's the bad guy. He just wants to be on TV.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
We used to be best friends with them. So we actually know everything about these people up until probably the last six months.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I used to know their every thought, like literally their every thought.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Punk out 24-7. Joe Bradley lived one floor above me in my apartment complex. Season two, when Will was at Joe Bradley's apartment, he was one floor above me to the left, literally.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
No, I mean, that's a little, I mean, I am texting Michaels right now as we speak. I mean, I'm like this with Michaels. I think Michaels, your first season on a TV show, it's a big learning curve.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Well, I think we both like, we've gone through a lot together and we haven't always been on the same side, especially, I mean, season two, we definitely were really butting heads. And now that I've experienced kind of what it's like to have everyone just attack your relationship. I'm just like, I can't believe... Yeah, I don't know how she did it. I don't know. I can't believe you didn't cry.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I can't believe you kept it together so much. Like, you know, and... I have a lot of empathy and I have a lot of respect for Maddie and I have a lot of love for her. And I, you know, she's someone who's been on this show with me from the very beginning. And she's someone that I want to always have her to lean on me to going forward. Like we figured it out and we are not each other's enemies.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I want her to be like one of my closest friends. Like she's a true girl's girl. She means well, and she will ride for the people she loves.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
Now I do. And the issue was, at first, was that Maddie thought that Will did cheat on me because of her experience with Trevor in season two. So all season, she thought that I was... Before she knew. Before she knew the truth, she thought, like, oh, this happened... Emmy's blindly in love because this is what she had convinced herself.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And once I dropped the bomb that Trevor never cheated and she was gaslit and lied to so that she could understand why I don't believe anything at all that's being said to me, she finally was like, oh, my God. Like, Will didn't cheat on you. Trevor didn't cheat on me. Like, what? That's why she said, what's even real anymore? And so...
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will

A picture of Bradley Carter is next to that definition in the dictionary. Like literally, I've never seen a man so quickly gaslit.

And then we didn't even have the opportunity to address the lies before everyone else gave it legs. And it's like, What like what have you built out of a simple explanation? I mean, I just asked.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I think I just wanted the audience to understand because I think a lot of times they forget that. that there is such a production behind what I go through and that you don't just live it once. You live it so many times over and over and over again. And a lot of what you see during the season is me realizing we are at a big dinner table at Lake's birthday. This isn't some cute little side issue.

This is the season. I've realized everyone's been talking about this for the past three weeks. This is the season. This is the storyline. This is it. I'm the target. This is going to be the, I just, and that's where my pan, I'm like, it does.

You guys have been talking about this for three weeks. Oh, you've all... Oh, your scenes last week.

I wish I was dumber so I didn't know exactly what I was going to go through. Because everything I knew I was going to go through, I've went through.

You know what's so funny, too? And I don't know, like, the viewers wouldn't know this, but, like, Will and I are very neurodivergent. Like, I was legitimately diagnosed with ADHD when I was five years old. I was put on 20 milligrams of extended-release Adderall when I was five. I have been on Adderall for 22 years.

So, for me, like, just so we know, like... I'm also... So y'all are in good company. Just so you know, I deal with sensory processing issues. I am a little special sometimes and I get overstimulated. I could feel the mic on my back in some scenes and I'd literally be tweaking out because it was falling down my back while I'm in a serious conversation. The lighting is blinding my eyes.

You saw many times I took my sunglasses off of my conversation with Michaels. And Will also is a different version of that.

Cause it sounds like we have no chemistry and I'm like to the viewers, probably at this point, you guys seem normal enough after 90 minutes of, of talking.

It's just I mean, I think like one of the last little bits and pieces that bothered me the most of this season was seeing how one sided they try to make my relationship with Will and how they try to make it look like I was so obsessive over it. And Will couldn't give a shit as if it's a one sided story where Emmy wears the pants a lot.

She's always been very overstimulated so easily.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I don't really suppress any emotions. I definitely feel them when I'm having them.

And then I feel fine the next day because I literally got them all out. And I'm like, you know, after my scene at Republic, I literally went to Father's Day dinner with my dad afterwards. And I was like, hey. Okay. So.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He told me. How quickly? Pretty much immediately.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
He came to me and he basically was just like, I, you know, express to others, you know, issues that I was having in our relationship. And I feel bad that I didn't come to you about it. And I think for me, what the biggest issue at hand, like at the time, none of my friends came to me about it. So it didn't seem like it was this crazy thing. You know what I mean?
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
I was like, oh, you just vented to some of our friends about it. That's fine. No one's come to me about it. I personally keep my relationship between Will and myself. I call my mom. I vent to my mom. That's basically myself. But for me, I was like, I mean, I was pissed. But no, no one, none of my friends came to me about it. They just happened to bring it to me almost three months later.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
No, Will basically said everything that my castmates said to me. My castmates obviously used a little bit more intense terms like anorexic. He hates like kind of went really. And I'm just kind of like, I mean, going deeper into who I am, like I've struggled with my own image and body issues and I'm almost 17 months sober right now.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
March 1st, I was 17 months sober. And, you know, for me, this was the first time that, you know, I've really gotten myself healthy the right way, cutting out drinking, working out, doing all the things. And in the past, when I had lost weight, it was probably not the healthiest way. And so Will was just expressing concern because he was up at law school.
The Viall Files
E899 Going Deeper with Emmy and Will
And wasn't here with me going through these motions when I was like in the heart of, you know, going through my healthy new lifestyle. And he was venting to others being like, is she OK? Like, I just I'm not here. I'm asking the people that are closest to her about this. You know, I feel like there's a distance in our relationship. And, you know, it's the first year of law school. And I just.
