Lytes was the first openly gay main character on Love & Hip Hop: Miami. Since his appearance on the show, he's admitted that he wishes he could change his past onscreen behavior.

Olympios was involved in one of the more serious reality-TV scandals, as she was at the center of an incident that prompted an ultimately false sexual misconduct allegation against fellow Bachelor in Paradise star DeMario Jackson. A taped sexual encounter between Olympios and Jackson, both of whom were intoxicated, prompted a producer to file a misconduct allegation and Warner Bros. Television to halt production and investigate.
"I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place," Olympios said through a spokesperson at the time. "As a woman, this is my worst nightmare, and it has now become my reality."
However, an outside firm tasked with watching all footage and interviewing the cast and crew concluded there was no wrongdoing.
“I think people wanted it to be something different,” Jackson, who is Black, told The Hollywood Reporter. “They wanted the angry Black guy and this little, innocent white girl. But it wasn’t that.”
Omarosa Manigault Newman
