The second season of Bravo's hit series introduces viewers to Amir's girlfriend, but things don't start off all that great. In fact, a few of the women in the house claim that Natalie is a bit "standoffish" around them.

Amir has since stood up for his girlfriend, telling Yahoo Canada, "I think everyone is pretty standoffish, especially when they're meeting a brand new tight-knit group for the first time, especially [a] girl group."

He continued, "And I have to take a lot of responsibility for the reasons she was so standoffish, because of the way that I may or may not have exaggerated what had happened in the house Season 1."

"[Natalie] just really didn't know how to walk in. Are people going to kind of be ugly towards her? Or are they going to be super friendly and welcoming?" he told the outlet.

Amir added, "So the best thing that she could do to make sure that she didn't step on anyone's toes is just be herself, and if people wanted to approach her and show that they were friendly, she was like, 'Cool, I'm friendly too.' But if you weren't going to say anything to her, she was like, 'Hey, I don't need to say anything to you either,' and I think that's how most people operate."

Summer House: Martha's Vineyard airs on Sundays at 9 p.m. EST on Bravo. Stream the next day on Peacock.
