The drama unfolded after a tense return trip from a cast outing. While some castmates claimed Meredith Marks spent hours hurling insults at Britani Bateman on their flight, Bronwyn missed the spectacle as she traveled on a separate plane. Unbeknownst to her, the real drama was brewing online.
Upon arriving back in Salt Lake City, Bronwyn stumbled upon a Twitter post alleging that Todd was spotted looking at pictures of other women on his phone during his flight to New York. This revelation prompted Bronwyn to have a serious conversation with Whitney Rose, during which she disclosed that she had asked Todd to leave their home because of the tweet. She also mentioned to Whitney that she might be open to considering an open relationship if that was what Todd truly desired.
Bronwyn further elaborated on the situation during an appearance on the talk show Lovett or Leave It, shedding light on the complexities of their marriage and the impact of recent events.
On Lovett or Leave It, Bronwyn addressed the conversation.
“When I started hearing, you know, ‘All this drama with the plane was so crazy. We need to film some things and get everybody caught up’ — the drama I had on the plane was that I saw this tweet about my husband. I had no idea what happened or didn’t happen with Meredith,” said Bronwyn. “So I went into filming those lunches and meet-ups thinking they all knew what I knew about the tweet about my husband. I assumed the drama from the plane was them all coming to me, ‘Is your husband cheating?’”
“If I had just sat there and let them talk first, both Mary and Whitney, I would have maybe not shared quite so much,” she added. “I really thought, I’m going to sit down and they’re going to come at me about this. I just need to be open how I feel. ‘I’m embarrassed. I’m hurt. We got to figure this out.’ And they were like, ‘What are you talking about?’”
On Peacock’s Sunday Night Football: Reality Hot Seat, Bronwyn addressed Todd’s reaction to her ‘open relationship’ convo with Whitney.
“Well, he knew before he saw it, obviously. We talked in the interim,” said Bronwyn. “I think it was really hard for him to watch … I mean, I might get benched for a season; I might get traded to another team … He knows, obviously, it’s our marriage, we have conversations about it. I think it really shocked him.”
She suggested that Todd was upset because she discussed their personal issues with someone else.
“I spoke to Whitney about it … That might have felt like I was giving the other team our playbook,” she said. “So I might have been in trouble for that.”
