Jeremiah Brown has officially exited the "Love Island" villa, and he's seeing things much more clearly now.
While on the show, viewers saw Brown couple up with Huda Mustafa from the beginning. However, their honeymoon phase quickly faded after tensions began to flare between the two islanders.
Eventually, they called things off and Brown began pursuing another contestant before being dumped from the "Love Island" villa by his male co-stars. So, now that he's off of the show, would Brown ever consider recoupling with Mustafa when season 7 concludes?
"Respectfully, no," Brown told E! News.
"She's awesome and I wish her the best, but respectfully, not for me in the friendship or past that. So no, I'm good."
But why is Brown so adamant about keeping his distance from Mustafa?
"I got to watch some of the episodes back and I was just like, 'Run, run, get up,'" he told the publication. "It was just some of the things she was saying, bro."
The 25-year-old opened up about the many "red flags" Mustafa displayed, such as "moving too fast, too soon."
According to Brown, he could have intervened earlier to steer their relationship in the right direction when those "red flags" appeared; however, he stayed the course because of his strong feelings for her.
Brown also revealed that he didn't leave his relationship with Mustafa sooner because he wanted to be certain his reasons for leaving made sense.
"It was just more like, 'OK, I feel this way, but I've only had two hours of sleep, so let me make sure I'm not tripping,'" he recalled about some of Mustafa's actions that stood out to him. "That's why I feel like I was delayed with a lot of my actions and conversations, because it would take me an extra day or two to make sure I'm not wildin."
The reality star continued, "I just wanted to make sure I was going about it the right way because I'm big on conflict resolution."
At some point in the villa, however, Mustafa and Brown went their separate ways, which allowed Brown to make a play for the show's newest bombshell, Andreina Santos.
"We had just had a laid out, good a-s foundation," he explained. "We're laughing our [butts] off together. I felt really at peace with her. So I'm excited to explore this and then didn't get to," he said, referring to being dumped by his male islanders during a recent episode.
And regarding his exit, Brown didn't hold back when sharing his thoughts about the men's decision to send him packing.
"They can say we don't want him to recreate old habits, but I had already communicated to them multiple times that I'm doing it the right way now," Brown said, implying that his new connection with Santos was different than his connection with Mustafa. "So when they said they didn't want me to recreate old habits, that's some bullsh-t," he continued. "I couldn't buy that."
Brown went on to say that he believes the real reason he was sent home was due to the other men's interest in Santos.
"It is a game at the end of the day. I know that they had an interest in the bombshell, and we were getting pretty close. It was honestly getting out a competitor," he said.
Despite his understanding of the game, Brown still doesn't respect the men's decision, especially since they all entered the villa together on the first day.
"I'm not going for that," Brown said. "When I vote, it's all personal. I don't care if you f-ck up a million times; if you're my friend, then I'm keeping you. That's just how I work," he added.
So, does Brown ever see himself reconnecting with the men who voted him off the show once season 7 of "Love Island" wraps?
"Respectfully, I'm staying on my side," the reality star stated. "I know it's a game show, and I shouldn't get in my feelings about it. But what they said and how they moved, I don't want people like that around me. I wish them the best, but I'm good. I'm going to do my own thing."
