I’m only doing this for my music.’ He only did it for his career. He told me, ‘It’s not real. It’s acting.'”

Steven said, “Everything in me wants to believe that he meant everything he said and got caught up in [the show]. I don’t believe he’s a terrible person, but it’s a terrible situation. And part of me thinks I was the backup plan and he wanted me to be here in case it didn’t work out. I feel 100% betrayed.”
