They say a lot goes down in Siesta Keys, which rings true for one former couple, Sam Logan and Juliette Porter.

With the reality television hit series making its new season debut at the beginning of March, fans are starting to piece together the details of the public split between Sam and Juliette after nearly two years of dating. After holding back for a while, Sam has decided to provide exclusive information on the breakup while sharing his side of the story.

“I wasn’t planning on saying much to the press. I already posted to social media about the split to let followers and fans know we weren’t together anymore, but Juliette and her friends didn’t like that. So, I tried to keep the peace between us because I didn’t want to make things messier than they already were, but I felt the need to stand up for myself after hearing about the accusations made against me by Juliette, Amanda, and Chloe,” says Sam.

“I’ve heard that I didn’t give Juliette enough attention or focus on her wants and needs because I was too busy drinking and spending money, which isn’t true. While I was dating Juliette, I always put her first. For example, I never planned to go on the television show, but she wanted me to do it, so I did it to support her. But then she had the nerve to say that I wasn’t supportive. I disagree with that. I was more than supportive of her throughout our relationship. What makes the accusations of constant partying and drinking even worse is that the ones pointing their fingers at me are the same people going out every weekend to hit the club scene and get intoxicated, so what is the difference?”

Juliette and several of her friends, including Chloe Long and Amanda Marie Miller, have spoken out to defend their friend while seemingly bashing Sam Logan in the process.

When hearing about what his co-stars had to say, Sam said, “They say we were all friends, but at the end of the day, they were friends with Juliette first, so they’re naturally going to take her side in this split. I don’t have a problem with that. The problem lies within bashing me in an effort to make your friend look better. Anyone who knows me knows I’m a super caring, loving guy. I enjoy spending time with friends and family, putting the needs of others before myself. It’s who I’ve always been. And, when I’m in a relationship, I give my all to that person, no matter what. I gave my all to Juliette, but she didn’t do the same. She spent more time worrying about herself and flirting with other guys behind my back.”

When asked why he believes the relationship between himself and Juliette didn’t work, Sam said, “We’re two totally different people on unique paths. I feel like I was super supportive and wanted the best for Juliette, but she was focused more on herself than anything or anyone else. She didn’t put the time or effort into the relationship like I did, so the feelings died down, and things fell apart. I’m super loyal, but she wasn’t. It’s hard to keep a relationship together when you’re the only one putting in the work to make it work. I’m over it, and I wish her the best. I believe the best way for us to move past this is for her and her friends to stop bashing me when I was nothing but good to all of them.”

Moving forward, Sam Logan plans to continue focusing on working with incredible businesses, Kuma Cannabis and Concierge Automotive Services, while serving on the board of his family’s company.
