"Shahs of Sunset" star Mike Shouhed slammed rumors that he is drunk on a recent appearance on "Watch What Happens Live." The reality star also talked about his relationship with ex-wife Jessica Parido and how their split affected their families.
On his official Twitter page, Shouhed fired back at a follower who claimed that he looked "totally trashed" on "Watch What Happens Live."
"Moron! I was sober. That was apple juice I was drinking," he tweeted.
His reaction definitely did not sit well with "Shahs of Sunset" fans. They speculated that his popularity has gotten through his head, pointing out that he should not have responded so aggressively. A few fans, however, defended Shouhed claiming that the divorce may have taken a toll on him.
"I think the questions on the show were hitting too close to a hurtful spot. Divorce is rough," a netizen wrote.
Meanwhile, in the interview, via Bravo, Shouhed admitted that he is still in touch with Parido, following the divorce. While things certainly have not been easy for the two of them, Shouhed said that they were starting to be "a little more cordial" towards each other. If, however, there is one thing he regrets from the split, it is that his parents were totally devastated when they heard about the divorce. He claimed that they both felt "betrayed" by Parido because they opened their arms and life to her, only for the reality star to throw it all away.
When asked how he felt about Parido moving on-the "Shahs of Sunset" star was recently spotted with a new man-Shouhed said that he could not care less. He also hinted that he has been busy going out with other women, moving on with his life.
"Look at me. They're lining up. Do you think that I care that she's with whoever she's with?" he said.
In spite of it all, Shouhed said that Parido will always have a special place in his heart. The "Shahs of Sunset" star admitted that he went through months of depression after the split. He explained that it was definitely hard to move on since they shared a lot of good memories together.
"I really thought I was going to be with her for the rest of my life, and it just didn't work out that way," he explained.
"Shahs of Sunset" season 5 airs Sundays on Bravo.
