Recap: Kelley Flanagan on Chicks in the Office

Here's a recap of Kelley Flanagan on Chicks in the Office. She spills the tea on her relationship with Ari. These are just the highlights, listen to the whole podcast for the full story.

  • She and Ari dated for 1.5 years. She moved in with him in Philly. They “moved really fast.”
  • As time went on, she realized she was losing herself. Her whole life was becoming his, she stopped influencing, etc.
  • She told Ari in April how she was feeling, and they broke up. Ari asked her not to post about the breakup.
  • At the end of April, she got contacted by TMZ who said Ari had been saying he was single and took home a girl. She reached out to Ari and they talked and he asked for another chance. She agreed, but wanted to take it slow.
  • Ari's one condition for getting back together was that they wouldn't hook up with other people. She agreed.
  • It was her choice to not share him on social media. She eventually shared him a few times, but he didn't share her. She mentioned the Instagram story on 4th of July, and said that he insisted she post him. When she asked him why he didn't post it too, he said she only shared it 15 stories down and it wasn't special.
  • Ari didn't want her to even speak to other guys. He also made her feel bad about having exes. One time she ran into an ex at fashion week. She told the ex she wasn't comfortable talking to him because of her relationship, but Ari got mad she even spoke to the ex.
  • She felt that "things weren't adding up this summer" in multiple situations.
  • She got a message from a burner phone saying that Ari was being highly disrespectful and cheating on her.
  • She had completely moved into his apartment and all of her stuff was there. One day, jewelry showed up at the apartment. He couldn't explain it and kept changing his story.
  • She saw an influencer at an event in Miami who had a fling with Ari in the past. Called her "B." [Anyone know who this is??]. When she told Ari she saw B, he got weird.
  • She started reaching out to mutuals, girls who she didn't even know very well. Everywhere she looked, she got more stories.
  • More girls reached out with stories after she made her breakup post.
  • She talked to one of his exes, and that ex also got a bunch of calls from a burner number after they broke up.
  • Ari continues to reach out to her. He texted her this Sunday. He's also reaching out to her brothers. He's worried about his image.
  • She felt like no one had her back. She had to find out from an anonymous person, when all these people she knew in real life didn't tell her.
  • She did this podcast because she didn't want to feel silenced any more.
