Thore had predicted to PEOPLE before the season startedthat viewers would skeptical of her relationship.
“The truth is I’m not really looking forward to it because I already know people are going to be like, ‘Oh, he doesn’t like you,’ or ‘He’s embarrassed to be seen with you’ or whatever. I already know how people are, so it’s actually going to suck,” she jokes.
Thore did, though, say that she was glad her “Frenchman” decided to stay anonymous because it would avoid the vitriol that fans sent at herex-fiancé Chase Severinoafter he cheated on her last year.
