The synopsis continues:

Logan addresses Kate's comments on Bachelor in Paradise

On tonight's much-awaited reunion episode of Bachelor in Paradise, it was time for Kate to address her comments about Logan. While the Split Week twist was tough on all cast members, with the original women not being there, the former couple instantly built a connection with each other. However, Kate's comments about Logan's lack of an established career and more were publicly aired tonight.

Although Logan had already seen it as the show aired on television, he was visibly hurt by Kate's comments. She called the bachelor a "boy," slammed him for driving an orange Honda, not having a career, or walking his dog. Kate received a significant amount of criticism from fans for her comments toward Logan.

After the Bachelor in Paradise got to look at the same in the reunion episode, Kate wanted to make her stance clear. The star revealed that she didn't mean for Logan to hear all the comments and that her concerns should have come across. However, it was all symbolic for the fact that Logan wasn't ready for "the type of serious partnership that I'm looking for."

Logan responded by giving an insight into his journey and revealed that he came up with nothing but a car when he moved to California four years ago and built his life from then on. He further said:

"I wanted to have a career in film. And for a while I was a scuba instructor, I walked dogs to get by, I did whatever I could for a whole year..and I ended up building an amazing career using a camera. And I'm so proud of that and it's something that took a long time."

The Bachelor in Paradise star then stated that he opened up about the same to Kate, but she made fun of him. Logan further said:

"And she tried to humiliate me for it in front of her friends, you know? And everyone cackles. Yeah it showed a lot, I wish you did say it to me, it would have cleared a lot of things up, and I would have been able to explore other things. And it would have really showed who you were, I think."
