Raven Ross Tells All | The Viall Files w/ Nick Viall
Welcome back to The Viall Files: Going Deeper Edition! Today we are joined by Love is Blind’s Raven Ross to get the truth about her relationship with SK and address all the questions and drama surrounding their rekindling, second proposal, cheating allegations, and break up. What didn’t we get to see between their season, the reunion, and after the altar? We dive into what details Raven knew and what she found out on the internet, if she’s been in contact with SK’s exes, and the last time she spoke with SK. We then have a special Ask Nick caller who gets Nick’s advice on being invited to a couple’s trip having just found out her best friend is cheating on her boyfriend. We wrap up with Raven and ask about early red flags with SK, and any parts of the relationship that she’s still processing. Finally, we have a bonus Texting Office Hours call with Raven about setting boundaries and communicating expectations early on in relationships.
“You’re kind of being stalked. She’s obsessed with you as well.”

A lesson to us all : she who looked so vain at first, with her whole Pilates girl beginning, has turned to be one of the best personalities ever on this show, with maybe Lauren from S1. Kind, mature, humble, very self-aware and graceful. She was the only girl on a season (with otherwise pretty much terrible personalities) I could see myself becoming friends with, even though we're very different, the way she handled SK's mom melted my heart. Definitely ready for marriage and commitment once her whole barrier went down, ready for a healthy and balanced relationship, much more than some of her showmates (I'm looking at poor Colleen), ready to compromise and listen. She deserves her own Cameron, at the very least, someone as kind and trustworthy as her. And SK fooled all of us. It's sad that she should even blame herself when the entire world got fooled by his act - I would have never seen it coming either.

Honestly, her testimony is going to be BEAUTIFUL. She went into Love is Blind so guarded and towards the end of it had everyone that was side eyeing her in love with her because she finally was being her authentic self without fear. Her dealing with someone as conniving as SK, the way that type of situation can really mentally fuck with you. All for her to come out of that genuinely optimistic about love and not jaded.

The thing that makes me SO sad about this is Raven is a beautiful person inside and out. The fact that SK tries to drag her down towards the end saying he wasn’t “attracted to her” or “she wasn’t his type” is so wrong. Admitting to that towards the end is so disgusting on his part. He didn’t even have to take that extra punch and let her know that. If that was the case, he didn’t have to stay as long as he did. And honestly, Raven is out of his league looks wise. It’s ok to have a type but that’s such a front. I think he wanted to hurt Raven even more or justify his shitty actions because she’s GORGEOUS. She could be on a magazine for real. Looks aside, if you’re in a genuine relationship with somebody that doesn’t even matter at all. SK is such trash, and Raven will rise above this. She’s such a graceful amazing person. I hope she gets all the good karma.

Yes love is a risk. We can’t go through life guarded because we are afraid to get hurt. Life wouldn’t be worth it, I think raven gave me more courage than fear. She took what happened as a lesson and she understands that things like this are possible in any relationship. It doesn’t make them worth not having just to avoid pain. Love is amazing but also risky the best thing to do is take it day by day than assuming something aweful will happen.
SK’s behavior was manipulative and abusive. The lengths he went to silence her and to try to fabricate a whole different story. I feel so bad for Raven but I am glad she is on the other side and able to tell her truth!
The fact SK kept secrets despite the fact his partner at the time was asking for honesty shows that Raven dodged a bullet. Raven is such a kind and strong soul; just because you're a strong person doesn't mean your strength should be constantly tested by your partner. Raven deserved a safe space and 100% honesty.

The growth of Raven is astounding, I’m glad this experience didn’t coat that hard shell back over her 10 fold, I’m glad she can give love and vulnerability a chance again because that’s healing, growing and living. 💗 kudos Raven!
She said, she was under witchcraft and that hit me. Girl, we've been there. SK lived up to the Nigerian men stereotype. She deserved better and I can relate to how guarded Raven was in the beginning of the experience.

My thought exactly
So he embarrassed her at the alter then gets another chance with her, proposes to her to just cheat on her and break her heart AGAIN IN FRONT OF THE WORLD?!?! 😡 ……. Its mind blowing
Raven is so calm and composed, l love how she narrates the story without bitterness. Love and light to Raven🥰!
Hearing all of this really shows the self hate that SK has for himself. He’s a very insecure man outside of being a pathological liar. He was never deserving of Raven. I’m glad she still has such a positive and beautiful aura.
SK was doing it for the money, manipulated Raven in so many ways to save face while living his real life sneaking around with girls. I’m glad this podcast answered all our questions of what really happened behind closed doors. Raven hope your heart heals and always follow your intuition, your feelings are valid, you are genuine and he was fake.

I love how this podcast gives us a detailed vision of a person that is living in an abusive relationship without even knowing. It’s very clear when you are not in the relationship but when you’re part of it it’s so difficult to see the red flags and believe them. I feel so sorry for Raven but happy that she is in a way better place now far away from all of this

SK ruined his reputation while trying so hard to protect it....congrats to raven for coming out the other end of this mess
Finally some answers. Thanks Raven for being so open 💕 My only feedback… there is no reason that clip should have been played for so long. It’s obvious how uncomfortable it was for her and we could have done with just a summary from her instead of hearing the clip
This is my first time watching this show and I have to say I'm impressed and surprised. I came to for the Raven tea (which girl, my heart is with you on this one) but was so captivated by the honesty and compassion you show your callers and guests. During your interview with Raven, you largely let her tell her story unprompted which felt authentic. Then, when speaking to callers, you didn't jump in with your opinion, but led them to their own. I really enjoyed that you held your thoughts back for so long. It let your callers form their thoughts and set the stage themselves before you added your own influence. It's such a selfless way to give advice and I learned a lot from it.
He fumbled it 😩 I love Raven so much. Deserves way better
I’ve gone through the same thing and hearing Raven’s recollection of all the lies and manipulation tactics from SK was truly heartbreaking, it brought back all the painful memories and humiliation. Raven you’ve got this. You’re a great woman and you’ll get back on your feet. ♥️

Raven ended up becoming my favorite person by the end of the season, and she’s so real and genuine in her work and platforms. She didn’t deserve the evil manipulation by SK. He honestly seems like a completely toxic person to be with. Screw his reputation. She came out winning in the end.
Raven girl you are strong af coming into this and taking about it. It takes alot but just know we are all proud of you and hoping the freaking best for you dude. What a loss but just know, just know you’re only getting the best from this experience. Becoming stronger, learning more about yourself and loving yourself.

Sk’s red flag for me was when he shared on the show that his dad was in a polygamous relationship. He low key is a polygamist but doesn’t identify himself as such which is deceitful and he made Raven and the other women believe they are in a monogamous relationship with him.

She sounded like she was on the verge of tears the whole interview. So sorry this happened to Raven she did not deserve any of this
Shout out to Raven for knowing her worth and standing her ground. ❣️
Discovering vulnerability AND gut feeling as superpowers! I can relate to that. As well as to many other parts of her story. Kudos, Raven!
That gut feeling is NEVER wrong.
On the bright side,it was a huge learning experience for Raven.She entered the experiment as a closeted human in terms of letting people in and giving her heart out,and now ik she will be able to love again.Because love is still out there,and there are genuine people!She will be more careful and take the red flags exactly as they are!!RED FLAGS!! LOVE AND LIGHT BBG!
I'm such a fan of her. She is so strong and I know she is coming out on top of all this. No doubt. You got this, girl!
Sk didn’t deserve Raven! She is beautiful, strong, loyal and independent. I wish u nothing but the best Raven. 🖤
I honestly didn’t care much for Raven. But she quickly became my favorite. She is dope and real af
Raven's story is incredibly difficult but she's brave enough to share it, and the team is excited to hear it. It sounds like a great episode!
I dated an SK. And it's crazy how much I see myself in Raven. All I needed was for him to tell me the truth and not lie to me constantly. That's all I wanted. The lies were by far more hurtful than knowing the truth. I hated that he kept insulting my intelligence and yet I kept giving him the benefit of the doubt. It was really hard for me to leave until he ended up getting another woman pregnant. And even then had he told me the truth I would have probably accepted the child. That's how crazy and loyal I was to him. And the worst part is all those guys who would try to be with me and knew how badly I was treated. It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life. So I understand her so much. Her story is so relatable!
He always made my skin crawl from the beginning. She deserves the best.
I suffered a lot of trauma as a child and then became a mother at 20. I got fed up with spewing my trauma on my child. We started dialectal behavior therapy as a family and wow!! I am heeling my trauma and holding myself accountable as a parent. I hope my daughter can flourish and break the cycle of abuse!!
*Can we talk about how GORGEOUS Raven is. His loss*
I feel like out of all the women on love is blind Raven was always the most honest and caring person on there. I hope I get to meet her one day as we are in the same city and I would just be happy to meet her. Girlfriend, you deserve the world you deserve the happiness. 🥰🥰❤️
She is the epitome of somebody who's worked/working on themselves. So much lying and disrespect from someone you love can bring anyone to their knees and make them cold but she's working on herself and not allowing that piece of......to change her but only to improve her ❤️❤️❤️ she's a baddie.
I could genuinely listen to these two speak all day. Such an open and honest interview. Praying for her peace ✨
We love you Raven!! ❤ All the BS he put you through has just showcased how much of a BOSS you are girl ✨You've handled everything with so much poise, so much grace, and a silly af sense of humor. You're glowing from the inside out and I know you're gonna go on to do big things! Ugh I still can't believe SK :((
Raven is such a gorgeous woman. And I’m sorry, but SK is sooooo ugly to me (uglier now since this situation). The fact that he tried to make it seem like she was the unattractive one in this, blows my mind.
