7 ‘Love Is Blind’ Personalities Shared The Disturbing Realities About How Mental Health Concerns Were Handled By Production, And Not One Of Them Had Something Positive To Say
The Love Is Blind Season 4 reunion wasn’t just a live stream fail. It opened up a big ol’ can of worms about how mental health and wellness are addressed on the Netflix series.
Steve Granitz / FilmMagic“You thrust us into this situation without any support, and everything’s amplified,” Nick told Insider of the situation. “It literally ruins lives.”

7. Recently, Season 4’s Jackelina Bonds shared her experience with The Wrap, revealing she was told she wouldn’t be going to the Season 4 reunion out of concerns for her mental health.
“They had me talk to a psychologist, and the psychologist was the one that told us that we weren’t gonna go. That was how it went down,” Bonds told the outlet. “They called on a three-way [conference call], and they were kind of, ‘Oh, due to your mental health, we think it’s best for you to… not come to the reunion.’ It was like a two-day turnaround. They told us the day before [the reunion].”
8. Shayne Jansen has previously spoken out against the notion he was on drugs on the show, though he did say his ADHD and anxiety were exacerbated by sleeplessness from participating in the show.
“My wedding day where I looked like I was coked out of my mind, I didn’t sleep for two days straight because I had no idea what she was going to say at the altar, no idea,” the Season 2 contestant said on The Viall Files. “My mom was in town, my whole family was in town. I was so embarrassed, my anxiety was going crazy.”
Kinetic Content issued a statement to PEOPLE statement following the Insider piece, noting, “The wellbeing of our participants is of paramount importance to Kinetic. We have rigorous protocols in place to care for each person before, during, and after filming.”
You can stream Seasons 1–4 of Love Is Blind on Netflix. The show has been renewed for Season 5, so we’ll get to see at least one more group of singles hit the pods — perhaps in a healthier way.
