Junelle Lyles Speaks Out Amid Public Backlash To Noah Lyles’ Reaction To Her Wedding Dress “First Look”
In footage obtained by TSR, Junelle took to social media to address the “mixed reviews” of her and Noah’s “first look.” Furthermore, she explained that the day was “a lot emotionally.” This, reportedly, was because many of her family members and close friends were unable to attend the Georgia ceremony due to their lack of visa access. In addition, she explained that she was left “holding back tears” because a special guest who was set to deliver a speech also did not attend.
Ultimately, she explained that the “first look” moment with Noah was done with the intention of his making her “talk” and distracting her from her frustrations.
“So what he gave, I truly appreciate,” she explained, adding that Noah was “surprised” that she was wearing a princess-style gown because she told him she was going to wear a mermaid dress.
Before concluding, Junelle also addressed critics who were saying that Noah doesn’t love her.

You will never talk to these people in real life. Why do I need to address anything with strangers?”
