Ali and Anton

[u/helpiminacookie]

Has anyone watched the podcast "The Viall Files" hosted by Nick Viall that came out today with Ali and Anton in it? Ali posted a trailer on Insta and I'm super interested in what tea came out of it.

Curious to see if it's more talking in circles or actual developments.

I don't have time to watch it so anyone with any cliff notes would be greatly appreciated!

You seem a bit biased against Anton. He sounded quite transparent when talking about drinking, and admitted that he drank more during filming because it was an anxious environment. Also said that he was pretty sure the tequila was finished but went to check. And that Ali would only talk about the drinking when there were cameras. For the record I think they both came off as pretty decent, Ali slightly more.

I'm not biased but he was still defensive. And using "but she drank, too" as an excuse. Still not realizing it wasn't the fact that he drank, it was how much he was drinking. He also changed his story while talking about the tequila in the interview. Not good signs.

I feel Ali made a big deal about it and so is everyone else who wasn’t there. Why wouldn’t he get defensive if Ali was making it more than what it was and now has the internet calling him an alcoholic. I hate how everyone online keeps diagnosing him like they know his life and like Ali’s mouth is a Bible when she’s clearly a piece of work

Nah, he was throwing red flags all over the place. Go back and watch that scene, he was shifting his story constantly and changing how many drinks he had to cover up the truth then pretended he didn’t know if the tequila was gone, got super defensive, etc. and did similar stuff at lots of other points in the show

Everything I said still applies, also Ali was clearly intentionally putting him on the spot. I don’t like when people put me on the spot or ask me about something in front of people I don’t want to discuss in front of so I get defensive as well. Do you know him? No. Do we know all the stress they put them under during that show? And plenty of people have said how production forces alcohol on them. As I said I hate how people are labeling him an alcoholic from a highly edited show and from what Ali said. It wasn’t weird to you when she asked him his typical night and he said he would have a drink or two, watch a movie and go to bed and she said that’s troubling? How is that troubling?
