The Cuties Story Love Is Blind Stirred Up Controversy

Searching for the information about The Cuties Story Love Is Blind? Here we go! At their season three reunion, the cast of "Love Is Blind" discussed the show's highs, lows, and hilarious moments. But the truth finally came out for one pair (or ex-couple)... The Cuties did as well.
The connection between Zanab Jaffrey and Cole Barnett was rocky this season. At the altar, Jaffrey gave a fiery speech about how Barnett had ruined her sense of self-worth, and the couple called it quits. Barnett once rated Jaffrey's attractiveness as a "nine out of 10," contrasting her with co-stars Raven Ross and Colleen Reed, both of whom he rated "10s." He added that Reed was more "his type" as well. When Was Love Is Blind Reunion Filmed?

#1. Controversy Over The Cuties Story Love Is Blind

The Cuties Story Love Is Blind Source: Netflix
Jaffrey claimed that she included certain unrevealed conversations with her wedding diatribe upon their reunion. A co-star, Alexa Alfia said that "so many things happened off camera." Both "fat shaming" and "the tangerine thing" were mentioned by Raven Ross (more on the former in a bit). Jaffrey claimed that after Barnett commented on her weight, she started watching what she ate, to the point that she would survive on a "banana and a spoonful of peanut butter" during filming. She claimed that Barnett would take her meal away, ask if she was going to eat "that," and pressure her into ordering salads instead.
Barnett denied making these statements. The comments about my appearance daily were not utilized," Jaffrey said. And that's wonderful because it did safeguard you, and you're now rejecting it and publicly labeling me a liar.
Here we have the "Cuties" debate, in which a casual comment about oranges has far-reaching implications. Just like the characters on "The Affair," viewers have conflicting memories of the episode's final scene, which features a videotape of the dialogue between two characters.

#2. It Also Took The Internet By Storm


The internet was split on whether Jaffrey exaggerated the situation or if Barnett's subtle remarks were having an impact. Saddened by the way Zanab's "self-esteem has been devastated by a man who denies everything," one user said, "gutted for Zanab being body shamed." I don't think Zanab lied," another contributor to the thread opined. To paraphrase Cole's ex-girlfriend, "I think she's so traumatized by the way Cole crushed her self-esteem and said the thing's he did that she's triggered by anything he says and twists it into something Cole may not have meant by the cuties and wedding dress but to her he did.
The topic of defending Barnett took up a significant portion of the conversation. One Twitter user argued that Barnett wasn't the "true villain" of the show and that Jaffrey was overreacting to her words.
The user tweeted, "Plot twist: zanab is the real villain in season 3 of #loveisblind." There was nothing wrong with what Cole did when he saw the cutesy clip. Because of her insecurities, Zanab exaggerated the situation and placed all the responsibility on Cole. He should not have been treated so shamefully at the reunion. One commenter wrote, "both were wrong," and another said, "Zanab damaged Cole's self-esteem every day by nitpicking who he is as a person." Cole exploded and said some hurtful things. Cole's filter needs some work. Zanab must improve her sense of self-worth.

Jaffrey & The Backlash

The day after the reunion aired, on November 10, Jaffrey uploaded a photo on Instagram with an apology to Barnett and a message to the internet, explaining that viewers "didn't see all the all the reasons for what (she) said" about Barnett.
I regret that you do not trust me. I am sorry for saying this, but I know my greatness and worth. I'm sad you can waste time being a troll on the internet. I regret to inform you that I do not work as a professional actress. Unfortunately, I can't cry whenever you want. I'm sorry you felt used, played, and gaslighted. Sorry to be the bad guy here. "I'm sorry I'm your villain; I swear I'm not."
Jaffrey responded directly to criticism on the internet, saying, "I'm sorry your insecurities are different than mine." I'm sorry that your hatred of me on the internet reveals more about you than it ever could about me. She concluded her message by claiming she was not retracting anything she had said at the reunion. She wrote, "One thing about me, I chose my words carefully, and I stand by what I say."
