“Do you think your line of work is the reason [the split] happened?” a TMZ reporter asked Melissa on Friday (February 23).

Melissa responded, “Yeah definitely. We had conversations about it. It makes sense. We talked about what I did before [the breakup]. I was always concerned with his image and how it would affect him and he said it was okay. It’s all good.”

She added that she doesn’t think he could take the “heat” of the media attention. “It was a lot,” she said. “There’s no hard feelings. I get it.”

Melissa was upset by the breakup, even though she understands why it happened.

“I hated it. I really liked him. We were dating for a couple months and we had a lot in common. You always have hope that things will work out. I really liked him. But it is what it is. I don’t want to be with somebody who doesn’t want to be with me,” she said.
