Amir Lancaster, of “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard,” defends his girlfriend, Natalie Cortes, against criticism from Candiace Dillard. Lancaster explains that Cortes is trying to present herself in a poised and perfect manner on the show to avoid negative reactions from viewers. Dillard expressed concerns about the dynamic between Cortes and Lancaster, questioning whether she was comfortable with him being on the show. Lancaster clarifies that Cortes supports him and is not trying to steal the spotlight.
Cortes made comments about her real estate career in comparison to Lancaster’s during a day party, boasting about representing properties over $2 million while he sells homes under $1 million. Dillard criticized her for giving what she considered to be corporate answers when asked about their relationship during a hot tub session. Lancaster explains that Cortes purposely gave minimal responses in those moments, and a more significant commitment like an engagement is still on the table for the couple, despite it not being a top priority.
Lancaster acknowledges that Cortes may have come across poorly in certain situations on the show but credits her for doing the best she can to support him. He emphasizes that their relationship is genuine and they genuinely care for each other. While an engagement is a possibility in the future, they want it to be a meaningful celebration of their commitment rather than just a necessary step. Ultimately, their priority is on building their careers together in the real estate industry.
Dillard, who is currently pregnant, expressed her feelings about Cortes’ behavior on social media, suggesting that there may be missing context in their relationship. Lancaster defends Cortes against the criticism, stating that she is trying to navigate the reality TV world in the best way she can while supporting him. He clarifies that Cortes is not uncomfortable with him being on the show and is there to encourage him rather than overshadow him.
Despite the social media backlash, Lancaster and Cortes are focused on growing their professional lives together in the real estate industry. Cortes is excited about having Lancaster join her team and working together on their careers. While Dillard may have questioned the sincerity of their relationship and Cortes’ behavior on the show, Lancaster is confident in their connection and the genuine care they have for each other. The couple’s journey, including discussions of a potential engagement, continues to unfold on “Summer House: Martha’s Vineyard.”
