Tyler Cameronhas some thoughts about his exHannah Brown’s new book.

“I felt like I had to be strong andpretend it didn’t bother mewhen it did,” Brown, 27,told PEOPLEearlier this month. “I was deeply hurt. I said to Tyler, ‘I’d dateGigi Hadidtoo if I could, I get it.’ But it was not the way I wish it was handled.”

“Pretty much, Boo just put it that, ‘Tyler Cameron rejected me,’ and the whole world goes, ‘Yeah, no s–t,'” Brie summarized on Monday’s show. “I think she thought she was going to shock the world and everyone was just like, ‘Oh, well, duh.'”

“But I’ve got a question: she put out a text message,” Nikki noted.

“I’ve got receipts, too,” Cameron quipped.

“You know that whole thing — first of all, you’re going to see the level of respect we have for each other,” Cameron added. “The way I talked about her in my book showed nothing but love. We’ll see how she talks about me in her book.” (Cameron’s book,You Deserve Better: What Life Has Taught Me About Love, Relationships, and Becoming Your Best Self, was released in July 2021.)

Cameron concluded: “I hope she’s happy, I hope she’s successful. You know, she’s writing a book — she’s got to sell books, she’s got to make headlines. Sell them books!”

Cameron haspreviously saidhe has no intention of reading much of Brown’s book.

After Brownpublicly asked Cameron outduring her season ofThe Bachelorette’sAfter the Final Rosespecial, the former couple famouslyspent time togetherin her Los Angeles home in early August 2019.

Earlier this month, Brown, whose book was released Nov. 23,spoke exclusively to PEOPLEabout that time with Cameron.

“I was really hoping that we would start dating again,” Brown said. “I thought I’d made a mistake. I had feelings for Tyler. And I wanted to make things work.”

“We had really intimate conversations about planning trips and things,” recalled Brown. “I wanted it to work and to know that everything had happened for a reason. But maybe there was some miscommunication of what that meant.”

That miscommunication became clear two days after their night together whenphotos of Cameronwith Hadid, 26, surfaced, sending the Bachelor Nation rumor mill into overdrive.

“I was reallycaught off-guard,” Brown said of that time. “I knew we were not together or openly dating, but just from the conversations we’d had, it was so shocking — and so public.”

In the months following, “wedidn’t talk,” said Brown. “I was upset with him.”

“I was embarrassed about it for a while, but I learned so much,” Brown, who has beenhappily datingAdam Woolardfor a year, later added. “It wouldn’t have worked with Tyler. Yes, there was chemistry and we had fun together, but I don’t know if I had what he wants in a person or if he had what I wanted.”
