On the latest episode of The Viall Files, Jenn revealed her admiration for Strus and hinted that she desperately wants him to reach out to her.

“Max Strus, if you're out there and you're here: I'm single. I'm here. I'm ready,” Jenn said on the podcast.

She also said that she would make an exception if the Boston Celtics superstar Jayson Tatum were available until she learned that he is currently dating the singer Ella May.

Following the dramatic end to their engagement, Jenn said she was taking time to focus on herself. She also expressed her disappointment in Devin's decision to share her private text messages on social media, calling the move a betrayal and an invasion of privacy.

“I felt so betrayed, so disrespected and honestly just angry and disappointed,” she told the podcast host and former “Bachelor” actress Nick Viall“I don't have a problem with him going out and saying what he needs to say, but I do have a problem with him invading my privacy and posting texts without telling me. [and] without telling me.”

“He conveniently blurred out some of the things, but forgot to blur out other things that were very, very private,” she added. “Like, my mom is on the internet, dude, what's up with that? That was disrespectful and I don't appreciate it at all.”

After his decision to publish private text messages sparked strong reactions, Devin immediately apologized in his Instagram story and removed the original video.

He later published a revised version without the screenshots, but that has since been deleted as well.

Devin has not commented further on the situation. Jenn, for her part, has chosen not to watch the content of the video. “I don't plan on doing that. I know what's happening, I don't need to watch a 13-minute video about it,” she said. “He's already wasted six months of my life; I'm not going to give him another second, let alone 13 minutes. I'm ready.”

Jenn first learned about Devin's claims and the ensuing drama from her closest circle of friends. After the news broke, friends and acquaintances contacted her via phone and text to keep her updated on the situation, as Jenn chose not to watch the video herself.

“He's allowed to have a side of the story, like he was part of that relationship too,” the Bachelor Nation star said. “He has every right to say what he wants to say, and I'll say it, he had time at AFR to say it. I don't know about you, but I haven't heard much, so he's had time to share his peace.”

She added: “If he feels he would like to share more, he is welcome to do so. [but] What I will not tolerate is someone invading my privacy and doing something like that.”
