During a TikTok live stream, she was asked if she would still be with Jarrette if he didn’t cheat and to that she responded:
“No, I actually wouldn’t because we’re so incompatible. It wasn’t just [the cheating], we were wildly incompatible. Different interests, he’s not growth mindset, and that frustrated the sh*t out of me. He used to think I talked too much…that man didn’t like me…”

Last year According to People the reality star revealed that her biggest struggle is knowing that Love Is Blind: After the Altar would premier.
“I’m going to have to relive a lot of stuff, which is the hardest part of it,” she said.
McNeely continued, explaining that the special’s air date forced them to ask some important questions.
“Every time something like the season premiere coming out or After the Altar coming out, there’s always the knowing that the security of our marriage will be in the spotlight again,” she said.
“So with Jarrett and I going through the issues that we were, even as of late, before we made the decision to separate, it was just heavy on my mind again, we’re going to have to explain ourselves, we’re going to have to relive everything that was put on TV,” she said. “It was more of a push to kind of just make a final decision, is this going to work or not?”
She added, “We’ve given it a year, we’ve experienced the same issues repeatedly.”
McNeely then went on to speculate what could’ve happened if the show wasn’t looming over their heads.
“I think if the cameras weren’t there or if we didn’t have to deal with After the Altar then I think we would have just had a lot more time to figure it out.”
On an episode of her podcast, Feel in the Blank, the Love Is Blind alum opened up about the reaction she received from fans after she and Jones announced their separation.
Speaking to her co-host Kayla Scott and their guest, fellow Love Is Blind star, Natalie Lee, McNeely revealed that her followers’ reaction to her post was so hurtful that it brought her to tears.
“I should’ve [done] what Jarrette did and turned off the comments to begin with,” she explained. “But I just couldn’t help myself, and by the end of that day, I went to sleep crying.”
McNeely, who met and wed Jones during the Netflix hit’s second season, went on to explain how the response from fans “was overwhelming.”
“[People] are so mean,” she noted. “It’s making assumptions about people who you don’t know. And then, still, the annoying part of basing their opinions on our combined screen time of a 10-episode show, and using whatever excuse that is to explain a year-and-a-half relationship.”
“After that day, though, I learned my lesson,” she continued. “I turned off all of my notifications and I’ve been fine ever since.”
McNeely and Jones announced their split via Instagram, explaining that they reached the decision after “much thought” and planned to “begin the process of divorcing.”
“While we have love for each other, our lives are going in different directions, and that’s okay,” the statement read, in part. “Coming to this decision was far from easy and we will always wish each other the absolute best.”
“We hope you all give us some space as we close this chapter of our lives,” they continued, before thanking loved ones and their Love Is Blind family for their support. “This experience has taught us so much about ourselves, vulnerability and love. We don’t regret a single thing!”
