During the trip to the Bahamas, Chandi met someone who had experienced similar hardships.

She was feeling isolated and overwhelmed, so she confided in him for support.

Then, she brought him back to her shared hotel room, which violated DCC protocol. Some teammates felt unsafe and blindsided, especially since they didn’t know who the man was.

Chandi later clarified that it wasn’t a romantic or physical encounter, but rather a moment of emotional vulnerability where she needed someone to talk to.

The breakup with Ryan was a turning point. Chandi said,

I deserve better. I deserve to be treated better, and so do you.
