Mike Johnsonhas some thoughts aboutHannah Browncrashing her ex’s season premiere ofThe Bachelorlast week and confessing toPeter Weber, a.k.a. “Pilot Pete,” that she still had feelings for him.
“I got so much love for Hannah,” explained Johnson, 32, on Monday. “Hannah embodies [self-love]. She realizes she’s a human being, she realizes she’s going to make mistakes, and it doesn’t matter. She’s going to … keep moving.”
“I think what Hannah did was perfectly her, following her heart, nothing wrong with it,” he continued.

After Brownshowed up to the premiere last week, viewers were anxious to learn the outcome of her emotional conversation with Weber. On Monday’s episode, we finally got to see the second half of their sit-down, which picked up with Brown admitting she wasn’t sure she “made the right decision” when shesent Weber home onThe Bachelorette.
“I just want someone to want me as bad as I want them,” he told her at the beginning of Monday night’s episode. “And you telling me that you have feelings still, and that you made mistakes, I want to hear that and I want to believe that.”
The two got closer and closer on the couch, with Brown gently rubbing her back after she climbed into his lap. But just as it seemed they were about to kiss, he pulled away. “I can’t do this,” he said, deciding instead to return to the women waiting for him.
When asked what he would have done had Hannah reached out to him duringAfter the Final Roselike she did withTyler Cameron, Johnson had to think for a moment before eventually concluding that he probably wouldn’t have said yes to a post-show date with the formerBachelorettestar.
“[At that time], I would say … that’s something that we’d have to discuss further. … Now, I would say we’re homies. But at that time, trying to put myself then and go backwards … well, I’d have to say ‘Well you sent me home before final hometowns, so probably not.'”
