Michael admitted in a candid interview in March on Canadianentertainment show eTalk that he'd been "a jerk" in his past relationships.

Without specifically naming Emily he said, "Iwas careless and reckless with the hearts of women I was with. And I got mykarma. I earned it."

Saying that the way he acted was"so cringe-y," Michael added, "I got my butt and heart kickedand it hurt me enough that I looked in the mirror and I didn't want it tohappen again. If I wanted to be a happy guy and really fall in love, I wouldhave to love myself."
