Their relationship has only gone downhill from there as Big Ed and Liz Woods became trapped in a toxic cycle of on-again-off-again romance. In an interview withPeople, Big Ed addressed his first breakup with Woods by taking accountability for his actions.
The timing wasn’t right and it was rushed — we both rushed things. I wasn’t a good boyfriend. I didn’t treat Liz like she deserved to be treated.
