Olindo spoke out about her split from Shah during an appearance on the “Skinny Confidential Him & Her” podcast, detailing how she learned of the doctor’s alleged affair. The TV personality recalled needing to use Shah’s computer to show her friends something about their upcoming trip to France while she was packing up their belongings ahead of their summer of 2021 move to NYC.
“It was, like, a year’s worth of texts with his ex and explicit pictures and, you know, the whole nine yards. So I read through them for a little bit,” she claimed, noting Shah’s alleged messages with his ex Sophie popped up when she opened his computer. “So I called him back. I could tell he sounded panicky on the phone, but I didn’t understand why. I didn’t realize it’s because he knew I was probably about to see what was on his iMessage ’cause I never looked through his stuff. I would never, I’m just not that way. And I called him, and I was, like, ‘Hey, I just want you to know, I saw the messages with Sophie and this is done.’ And hung up the phone, and he tried to call me, you know, a hundred times.”
The Blueprint to Breakup cocreator recalled “begging” Shah to stop calling her after they split, explaining how hard it made it for her to really move forward.
“The process afterwards was really difficult because when somebody is that narcissistic and they try to come back into your life, they’ll say all the right things. They know exactly what they’ve been withholding from you, like, previously in the relationship what you crave,” she told the listeners. “’Cause I would express my needs, but they would just not get met. And I was like, ‘Well, maybe this is a trade-off, you know, he doesn’t scream at me. He doesn’t call me names. So I’m alright, I’ll take it.’”
Looking back, she revealed, “I think I just wanted to feel loved. I don’t think that he ever truly loved and accepted me. It was always what he thought I could offer him or what he thought he could gain. It was never about who I was.”
