Love is Blind UK star, Sam Klein, recently faced a lot of criticism from viewers for his actions on the show. As one of the 30 singles looking for love on the Netflix dating series, the 31-year-old product design manager found himself in hot water for his behavior. Many viewers took issue with his comments and actions, including expressing concerns about being able to 'pick up' Nicole, how he handled rejection, and his comments about her eyes.
But Sam is not one to stay silent in the face of criticism. He quickly came to his own defense, stating that he went on the show with the intention of finding his future wife, and the backlash he received has been tough to handle. However, he also acknowledged that the experience has made him stronger and taught him valuable lessons about himself.
During the reunion episode, Sam opened up about the strong public reaction he received. Host Matt Willis introduced him as someone who had provoked a lot of attention, and Sam admitted that it had not been easy for him. He went on to explain that he thought he was ready for love, but perhaps he wasn't at the time. When asked about his behavior towards Nicole, Sam apologized, stating that his nervousness had caused him to say things he didn't mean.
Jasmine, one of Sam's previous love interests on the show, also spoke up about her concerns regarding his intentions. She explained that it was based on her intuition as a woman. Sam also addressed his comment about not being able to 'pick up' Nicole, stating that it was just nervousness and he didn't mean any harm by it. Nicole's husband, Benaiah, also came to her defense, revealing that he had warned her about Sam's concerns before the pod proposals.
Nicole then clarified that she was the one who had called off their proposal, and Sam didn't take it well. However, things took a dramatic turn when Sam told Beniah at the mixer that Nicole had wanted to sleep with him before their breakup. Demi, another contestant, called him out and urged him to apologize to Nicole for his hurtful and false words. Nicole also expressed her disappointment, and viewers at home were equally unimpressed with Sam's behavior.
As the reunion came to an end, host Emma Willis reminded viewers that it's easy to form strong opinions about what they see on screen, but they should remember that these are real people with real lives. She also acknowledged the immense pressure the contestants faced. Before saying goodbye to Sam, Emma wished him healing and reminded him to take care of himself.
In the lead-up to the reunion, Sam also addressed the editing of the show and how it didn't portray him in a positive light. He shared on Instagram that the intense and high-pressure experience of the show, combined with the editing, didn't work in his favor. But despite the backlash, Sam remains hopeful and continues to search for love. Love is Blind is currently streaming on Netflix, and we can't wait to see what happens next.
