Clearing the air.
This week, influencer KT Smith is the guest on the most recent episode of Bunnie XO’s Dumb Blonde podcast. KT shares a 5-year old son, Indigo, with Morgan Wallen, and the two were previously engaged during an on-again, off-again relationship between 2016 and 2019. She is currently going through a divorce with her husband of nine months, influencer Luke Scornavacco, and she spoke a lot about the problems they had and what ultimately led to the split.
She told Bunnie that Luke’s career as an influencer gave her the “ick,” which led many on social media to point out that it was pretty hypocritical, seeing as he was already doing that when they met, and she is an influencer herself and does the exact same thing for a living. KT said she wanted to be in her “soft girl” era, but she felt like she had to be the man in the relationship, so to speak, taking care of the bills, lawn and other things of that nature.
Obviously, a lot of the clips and videos from the episode have gone viral, and fans are letting her have it about the way she talked about Luke, so KT took to TikTok to clear the air and explain herself.
In a several minutes long video, she apologized for saying that Luke wasn’t manly, adding that him getting into a relationship with a single mom and loving her child as his own was “the most manly thing” someone could do:
“Hello, happy Monday… I know I don’t have to come on here, because I know Luke and I’s relationship. We talk every single day, I know where we stand. I just wanted to publicly say that I’m in the wrong for saying that he wasn’t manly, because I never meant to say it like that.
And before I went on the podcast, I prayed that everyone perceived the way I felt, but sometimes I’m not the best at word vomiting or I am too good at word vomiting, but it’s not perceived correctly. And so I should’ve never said that about Luke, because Luke is very manly, and the role that he took on as who he is when he came into the picture, into our lives, that’s the most manly thing that you can do, especially being 21 when we met.
All I can say is he has been more manly than anyone that I’ve ever known, to take on dating a single mom and fall in love with [her] little boy and just them have such tight knit relationship. And just, he’s amazing, and he’s manly, and that’s more manly than anything that he could build or any career that he could have.”
She explained that she knows it was “very hypocritical” to say his career gave her the ick since she does the same, adding that it wasn’t social media in general, but some more specific videos she took issue with:
“And yes, I will admit that it is very hypocritical that I said that it’s icky for a man to do social media for living, when I as a woman do it myself. And I didn’t even exactly mean it like that, I just meant like certain content to me was icky. And I will say that when we were in our relationship, there were so many things that I needed to work on and I didn’t realize it.
You can say like, yes, marriage just has so many issues and communication is key, and regardless if we had good communication or not, if you don’t know why you are the way you are, and why do you get triggered by certain things, or why you act certain ways… so for me control and being too independent comes from my past. Where if I wasn’t control of certain situations, would I have made it out alive? I don’t know, but I’ve carried that with me to now and into my relationships.
And so it caused me not only to realize I didn’t love myself during our relationship, but that me not loving myself didn’t allow me to let him love me properly, and to be the man that he is and wanted to be, and was the beginning of our relationship. So it’s a whole thing. So I am thankful that everything happened the way it did, because we wouldn’t have known things that we both needed work on as individuals and I wouldn’t have learned why I get triggered by certain things.
And why I needed to feel control over certain situations, and just like wanting to be soft, but not letting someone let me be soft. And just taking control of situations, and being just too independent and trying to do everything myself and then getting mad that I wasn’t helped, even though I did it all myself without doing anything, without asking for help and saying I didn’t want help. That’s a whole thing.”
KT says she’s perfectly fine being called a “hypocrite,” because no one is perfect, and says she feels bad about how it all came out and wanted the world to know she is apologizing:
“So I just wanted to clear the air with that, and say that I never meant to say it like that and I didn’t want people to perceive it like that so that’s out there. I’m in therapy. We’re working on it… and I don’t care if you guys call me a hypocrite, that’s fine, name one time in your life that you’ve been perfect.
I’ll wait… I didn’t mean to say that and I feel bad, because I do love him with everything in my heart and I never wanted to come out that way and it did so I’m apologizing now.”
Fans are begging to hear Luke’s side of all of this, though KT alluded to the fact that they’re still working on things, so it’s kind of unclear if they’re going through with the divorce or not. I mean, it’s nice of her to apologize and kind of give some better perspective, but it feels like too little too late in a lot of ways.
I’d imagine salvaging a relationship after making all of this so public, especially some of the stuff she said questioning how “manly” he is, would be pretty difficult, but you never know, I guess.
