“There’s this constant pressure to define everything,” he told Men’s Journal. “I’ve never really felt the need to label myself or to say I’m this or I’m that. I’m just Josh.”

Josh opened up about being in the public eye for the last decade.

“I really just don’t care anymore. Every single aspect of my life has been attacked, has been judged…from the way I speak everything, the way I compete, the way I look, who I’m sleeping with, my sexuality, the way everything has been destroyed, to where it’s built me to like I just don’t care,” he said. “People are just gonna have an opinion, and you gotta be okay, and you also can’t give a s–t. And there’s so much freedom in that. So like, if I want to go on a show and sleep with whoever I want to sleep with, or date whoever I want to date, I’m okay with it, but it’s taken nine long years to get to this point.”

Josh says that his career has made it hard to date.

“It has ruined some relationships for me that I felt like could be serious,” he said. “I’ll be six months into talking to somebody and then have to say, ‘Hey, I’m leaving for three months.’ It’s not ideal. I’ve been given ultimatums: choose your career path or choose me.”

Josh almost competed on Big Brother’s All Stars season in 2020 until something really unfortunate happened.
