Alex talks about Tim on AD’s podcast

Not sure if anyone’s watched AD’s podcast "What’s the Reality?", but there’s a part where Alex talks about how she didn’t physically cover his mouth & in actuality if anyone got physical it was actually him. Marissa then goes on to say that if you go back and watch that episode you can see a mark on Alex’s arm that was left by Tim getting sort of physical with her, but she didn’t come out with it because A. She probably would not have been believed and B. She wanted to protect him.

This may be an unpopular opinion, but when that season aired I thought a lot of people blew that event out of proportion. I don’t recall him or her describing the event as her “getting physical" with him and I believe that some people who were inclined to see her as aggressive decided to go overboard. She maintains that she didn’t even touch him. I can admit (and she does as well) that putting your hand over someone’s mouth is impolite at worst…personally, if someone did that to me I’d have a serious conversation with them and expect them to never do anything like that ever again and I’d place that in context with other actions that that person has done to determine our compatibility, but I never saw her as an "abuser" based off of that single action.

I’m curious to hear other opinions. I do think you should watch the portion of the podcast where she talks about this event before chiming in because it’s better to share your opinion on something you’ve actually reviewed first. This discussion takes place around the 21 minute mark on the episode titled "The Call Came from Inside the House with Love is Blind’s Marissa and Alex"
