‘It all got too much for her,’ an insider told Woman’s Day this week.
‘She wasn’t coping in the experiment and with what was going down between certain contestants. It was decided she shouldn’t be on camera.’
Senior producers elected to keep the 26-year-old financial analyst in her apartment while the other participants went to the dinner party.
Because she wasn’t attending, it was also decided that Mikey, 29, shouldn’t go either.
