Publish date: 2024-04-29

After Jenna Bush Hager caught serious flak for touching Justin Sylvester, the latter made a point to set the record straight. In a video shared by The Shade Room, Sylvester explained, "People thought she was invading my space, but that's actually not the truth."

He then added that they were "flirting" with chef Andy Baraghani "because he was cute." He pushed her out of the way "so [he] could have a one-on-one moment with the chef, and people took it the wrong way!" Sylvester called out how "people just jump to conclusions," before praising Hager and confirming their friendship.

"By the way... when I tell you that girl is one of the nicest people I've ever met," Sylvester said, per Page Six. "Every time I'm on the show it's because she and Hoda request me and they're so good to me. She is awesome and you know, she's a big champion of mine, and still is. And I like her, people thought that she was invading my space."
