Eliza confessed that she wanted him to fight for her and tell her he didn’t want her to go. However, Rodney’s position cast doubts on her view of their relationship. Hence, the TV personality began leaning toward Justin. “I just felt so blindsided [by Rodney],” BiP’s Eliza Isichei told HollywoodLife.
