Diamond 100% ACCEPTED Carlton But He Pretended OTHERWISE! (Love is Blind Recap)

[@dianaholoma8143]

Tanisha Johnson I won’t lie I feel like it was done on purpose. Why didn’t the producers/directors atleast bring this to the table regarding some contestants having a dual sexuality...the show is called Love Is Blind but we know love isn’t blind to everything. I’m sorry I feel as though they didn’t want viewers to see a healthy relationship between 2 black people. They wanted people to see destruction and toxicity between 2 black people as if we are incapable of having healthy loving relationships that are negative oh but guess what ironically the only other black girl on the show has a positive and loving relationship with a white man I don’t think that was a mistake. I don’t know why they would even allow someone like Carlton on the show? It was for drama and others have expressed they’ve seen him on other reality shows being messy and being very gay never expressing being bisexual but all of a sudden he’s saying so on this show? Hmmm so I have a feeling the producers were aware because we all know most of these shows aren’t as real as they try to come off. They should have just put a heterosexual black man on the show for Diamonds sake because she seemed like such a sweet woman and beautiful too but they wanted to be messy to bring some drama so that the only 2 black couple wouldn’t even survive. Do I think both individuals could have handled the situation better than they did? Absolutely! Well I hope Diamond finds a good man who will Iove her the right way.

[@bripierre]

The first red flags: His idol is Hugh Hefner, he commented that he couldn't rely on "his chocolate skin and dope style" in the pods. The tone of his confessionals were huge red flags that told me he was a narcissist. He showed his entire ass on TV by being hypermasculine and ignorant. The problem wasn't that he was bisexual it's that he's selfish and self-absorbed.

[@NoName-mc7wd]

His bisexuality is also a problem because Carlton went on a show with heterosexual people that aren't interested in his bisexuality.

[@PaxPirate]

[@shannacollins8371]

As a bisexual woman, I'm siding with Diamond on this. Carlton had no issue telling the cameras or past lovers about his bisexuality, but somehow is afraid to be completely upfront with his future wife, despite saying he wanted to truly be loved for who he was. I think Diamond was reacting to him not being 100% upfront with her, which he falsely and foolishly misread as rejection. While I don't think that she was comfortable with it completely, I could tell she cared for him and wanted to try to work it out. She didn't deserve his fury and disrespect.

[@ginihall1234]

Shanna Collins bi sexual girl here, and he was wrong for putting so much pressure on her. Talking about “she would leave” like everyone should settle for him and his ego. Like no you like who you like

[@DebraWilderMeditation]

As a gay woman, I saw how hard it was for him to even tell the cameras.

[@Z_err]

@@DebraWilderMeditation that's fair but when you on a show and you have a limited of time to date, then married you kinda have to be open from the get go. He knew this when he was going on the show. If this was outside then yh sure take your time, because you have time.

[@anz10]

@@Z_err yes true but its clearly something he has struggled with. It was not an easy thing for him to talk about at all to cameras or to her. He would cry and get emotional etc like his whole being would be rejected if she didnt accept him. It can really hurt if such a fundamental part of himself is rejected, at least that is how he saw it. Him being bi doesnt change who he is though and if others reject him it's due to their own ignorance that's why he flew off the handle. He though her rejection is her ignorance not his problem but she didnt fully reject him she was just not educated that bi doesnt mean promiscuous or not monogamous. Though he was kinda mean before to her so I do think he has some anger issues.

Could I t be that he was nervous about revealing himself to her, and how she’d react? Many see him as narcissistic, but I think he was self-sabotaging.

[@Carolmoon11]

I get narcissistic vibes from him. I feel so sorry for Diamond. He made everything so dramatically about him. And made everything such a show when he was wrong from the beginning. If he really cared about her he would have never put her through that and would have been honest from the beginning. Personally I think he is gay which is fine but I don't like how he strung her along. She deserved better.

I get that he's scared to tell people his truth about his sexuality(most likely due to previous experience) but it was better to tell Diamond in the beginning in case she wasn't accepting so he won't waste his or her time than for him to tell her "hey, I'm bi" after they get engaged/married. I rather be hurt by a stranger i had a 10 minute conversation with about me being bisexual than being hurt by the person i was in love with. I'm bisexual also so i get it but he needed to tell her the truth soon as he met her. It was extremely disgusting and unnecessary the way he carried himself and the conversation at the pool. Carlton is a grade A manipulative douche-canoe. Diamond didn't deserve any of this. She was so caring towards him but he just did nothing but insult her. I hope she finds someone who loves her for her cause she truly is an amazing woman.

[@shannacollins8371]

Yesssss.

[@tionak]

AND she’s getting her PhD. She’s way too overqualified for his narcissistic self.

[@ajh.4131]

Apparently, all of them had several HOURS together in the pods for over a week! Which makes it even worse because that's all the more time he could've used to tell her then.

[@ThugDrina]

She didn’t call him one name. He was such a Queen

[@LaPlaztique]

He completely contradicted what he revealed in the pods about having dated both genders and having had issues with people about it. Then the confrontation between him he tells her that she is the only one that ever had an issue with it?!? The joke was on Carlton when they show him in the pool afterward because you can clearly see him looking for the engagement ring he threw, lmfao!!!

[@Lafemmefutile]

What about the clowns calling you “bi-phobic” because you don’t want to be lied to and want the opportunity to opt out of dating an alleged bisexual man? These guys are on twitter trying to shame straight women for not being down with this situation.

[@GraceReport]

La Femme Futile it’s so gross and coercive. Heterosexual people have the right to only want to date other heterosexual people 🙄

[@sierrabreann5633]

Grace Report if you don’t mind me asking, why would that be an issue for you, if they were only interested in dating *you* exclusively?

[@shannacollins8371]

@@GraceReport Him not being upfront with her isn't cool, absolutely. On another note, not dating someone because they are bisexual IS biphobic.

[@nyanzarojas8776]

sierrabreann I know for myself I wouldn’t be able to have sex with that person. Just the idea of him sleeping with men would turn me off completely. It’s a psychological thing that I just couldn’t get over. But being friends with that person and excepting them for who they are I can most definitely do.

[@Lafemmefutile]

Shanna Collins I think that type of intellectual shortcut is really dishonest. I have 3 gay couples in my close friendship and have a few lesbian girlfriends too. I love them and support them all the way. Why does me not wanting to date someone who has a divided sexual orientation make me a phobic of any kind suddenly? Why me wanting a male partner that is fully plugged into my female essence and only likes that, wrong? As a straight woman, I would really want a man who only sees his sexual comfort in women, not with men as well. At least I know how to deal with this. I couldn’t deal with a man who might be comparing my body or sexual skills to someone I couldn’t compete with me. I have been called all types of labels, phobic, insecure, etc... but this is the inner truth. I don’t want to share a man with another gender. Selfish I know.

[@cassl1612]

Agree. He’s too insecure with himself, he’ll be alone until he figures that out.

[@TheMurphLife]

I don't think he'll ever figure that out. At least not without therapy. I'm praying he gets the help he needs

[@brooklynforever1990]

Carlton is utterly disgusting he wasn’t there with any sincere intentions.

[@MaryGIrlMoody]

LOL, I started watching this show because you said it was good, Grace. And it is!!!! I'm so glad you agree about Carlton. He was an asshole to Diamond! She's such a great young woman.

[@GraceReport]

MaryGirl Moody hehehe yaasss!!! Welcome to the sh*t show!!! Diamond was WAY too good for him 😤

[@JessicaJNV]

Girllll I’m late but YES MAAM!!! This video is everything 🙏🏽😭

[@agricolaregs]

I feel like he’s racist towards black women.

[@kiiyannahudson]

Your review is why I started watching this show, thank you

[@LauraDonLee]

Agree with everything you said Grace! I was watching this thinking WTf?! Diamond was very understanding and Cartlon just gaslit the hell out of her.

[@romak6843]

Diamond brought way more to the table than Carlton. My girl was on her way to finishing her PHD, while Carlton is on Instagram still chasing her... what a joke. Diamond deserves/deserved WAY BETTER!

[@Chaundra1030]

When Diamond came down to talk the night after he told her, it was like he already had it in his mind that she was going to have an issue so he started off with an attitude and wanted to end it. She dodged a bullet on that one. I hope there are some women in Carlton’s life who checked him for his disgusting and immature behavior.

[@jenniferberger2005]

Grace I love your videos. I was sitting at home minding my own business when I saw your amber video and now I'm so addicted to this show and WAY too invested in Cameron and Lauren. I fully agree with your take on this situation. He mishandled this situation.

[@chantethesupreme8780]

Your commentary on this show has been so entertaining and thoughtful. I get excited every time i see you’ve posted a new video!

[@akiradavis4782]

He was playing a character the whole time, he withheld his sexuality as a way out and wanted her to react negatively so he could play victim and try to be a fan favorite and when she didn’t react the way he wanted he flipped on her. He kept antagonizing her from the beginning of the trip trying to bring out “stereotypical” black women he saw her as.

[@ddlove6531]

She was Crazy for accepting his sexuality as far as trying to date a gay man, we must stop lowering our standards in order to fulfill the “Dream”.

[@dominiquedavis7688]

But he told her he's not gay, he is bisexual.

[@velvet123]

Dominique Davis the way he treats females - doesn’t seem bi. He seems like a closet gay that doesn’t want to admit.

[@blessedgrateful3982]

Rewatched some key moments in the show, SOOOOO agree with what you said. Carlton Never allowed her, or himself, to enter into a real dialogue about her valid feelings. Manipulative for real. he kept making contradictory statements. Diamond mentioned on the after show that she received hate and death threats. I'm thinking, did these people not listen to or watch the dialogue! Basically, that information SHOULD have been shared before he proposed and that did not even occur to him - Is he For real! Just wanted air time. SMH

[@chazitybontempo2681]

Being gay doesn’t automatically mean you’re immune to being a manipulative person. She was accepting and trying to understand him better, but she couldn’t ignore the fact that she was blind sighted and manipulated in a way. He was being selfish. It’s not fair for him to use him coming out against her...she was put in a very complex situation, so the fact that he expected anything besides confusion at the very least, is just ignorant. Her feelings are just as valid.

[@TatiSaysSo]

I follow him on IG and he’s such a lil drama queen. He’s shamed this women for her preferences. There’s nothing wrong with not wanting to be with someone because they’ve had sex with men. That significantly raises his risk of contracting HIV according to doctors, not me. Would she be shamed for not wanting to date an IV drug user who is also at higher risk of being exposed to HIV? Something to think about.

[@karinasaucedo8298]

Angel Nicole completely agree with you .... what’s his ig?

[@Checkplusplus]

Angel Nicole what did he say about her on social media?

[@TatiSaysSo]

Karina Saucedo it’s just his name

[@beatricedevarenne2621]

Angel Nicole specially in black community since men like him lie about their true self! Black queen need to Be very careful

[@Peytonscomet]

Diamond dodged a bullet anyway! The second she tried voicing her concerns her CAME for her. He is totally gay and in denial, which is fine, but dont treat others like that because you cant come to terms. The fact she was calmly trying to have an adult conversation and he whips the ring, says her wig has been slipping since day one, called her a bitch like whaaaatt. Imagine if she did marry him and they had fights and that's how he treated her every time? I lowkey just think carlton is looking for the right person to fully come out to, but like a woman that's also willing to hold up the beard image

[@brianal7143]

Wanda P the queen came out. It was only a matter of time. He’s a real piece of trash

[@s.s.5931]

[@nataliegordon3132]

I always love your commentary on all these reality shows! You always say what we're all thinking in a eloquent way

[@Alrighttheniguess]

That whole mess had me cringing. Actually made me sad that the crew or maybe even the producer later step in and ask her how she was feeling... you know like they do on “teen mom/2”

[@beatricedevarenne2621]

Alyssa these bastard did that on purpose

[@juliesloan5997]

Watching that scene at the pool and seeing other times when Carlton was angry, I almost thought he was going to hit Diamond. I think he has serious anger issues and would potentially be a violent man if angry enough. Maybe some narcissism going on here as well with him. Diamond seemed altogether a nice and genuine woman with real feelings for Carlton.

[@beatricedevarenne2621]

Julie Sloan true

[@petitechinoise581]

And his whole "fear of abandonment" is a big ass red flag

[@carolinasalmazo9141]

You have GREAT points; and sooo validating to me. I’m just out of a mentally abusive relationship and I caught myself yelling “YES!!!!” at my tv while watching this. I’m proud that I was able to identify the red flags in Carlton very early on, and that I wasn’t the only one. Thank you for this video, Now I know I’ll never fall for a narcissist again because it’s much more obvious to me what they do.

[@sugarhill15]

I thought I was the only one that thought he was a complete narcissist! Thanks for the video 💜

[@leilanipurcell12]

Even in the first episode I didnt like his attitude on, I date beauty queens and my sexy beard and chocolate skin, and how he would act. He just wanted attention and publicity.

[@brianal7143]

Maloata Family and he was really not that good looking. He looked funny to me 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@GraceReport]

Maloata Family yeah it was so weird. I didn’t believe a word of what he said lol. All an act for tv.

[@GraceReport]

“mY pIcK oF tHe LiTteR” who talks like that??? 😂

[@beatricedevarenne2621]

Grace Report 🤣😄😄

[@agene5583]

Does people really believe this guy?? He's full of himself. He's in denial stage, so much cringe seeing him and talking. Telling about acceptance when he cant accept what he is.

[@nicolatibbs4797]

“You’d rather a man lie to you” bro she said that she just would rather have been told before being proposed to

[@AmaryllisTV]

I'm so happy that someone else finds Carlton was manipulative. He's abusive he went from being verbally abusive immediately. Diamond dodged a bullet. It's not the point that he's Bi but an ommition is a LIE. He's a spoiled self absorbed brat.

[@fireflower5730]

THANK YOU! I wrote a long ass post on another video basically saying this lol but from the beginning his bravado and general Showmanship was offputting to me and he was only redeemed in my eye when Diamond and he started con connecting. But as soon as he was in that hotel room I was done. He was so fucking disgusting in the shit that came out his mouth. No, insulting any person who you supposedly "love" and treating then with such disrespect is just gross.

[@Cassyox91]

He was in the wrong the entire time...he should have shared that information before proposing! He brought all that on himself

[@androidconfusion]

Ok so now that I have watched the whole video I love it so well spoken and clear ideas and took the word right out my mouth for this situation I want everyone to see this

[@janeto962]

Grace, I love watching your recaps, I didn't know you were doing Love is blind and when I saw I was very excited!!🤗

[@GraceReport]

J O awww thanks so much! 🥰❤️❤️

[@jsChelimo]

I'm glad he walked off. He wasn't well matched with her. He's too effeminate

[@angelsilver.]

He saw how much of a sweet, kind, and genuinely good and beautiful person she is, and as a narcissist had to traumatize and exploit her. He hates that he doesn’t have anything in his heart, while hers is so open and giving. I pray she finds herself a good man. Jesus will send her one that’s ready for her.

[@l.1088]

YES ! Thank you, I felt like everyone fell for his manipulation, I cannot believe people don't see this, thank you for your video !

[@LadyJay882]

Thanks for the link to Carlton “before” in his stereotypical gay state. Stark contrast to his alpha male convo with Diamond where he debuts the daddy hat.

[@sierrabreann5633]

LadyJay882 YES! I’ve only seen the poll argument and this puts things in a different light about him as an individual.

[@OELuxury]

You hit the nail on the head, well done and you are so eloquent in speech. Such class.

[@GraceReport]

OnyiiTV thank you! ❤️

[@PaxPirate]

I agree on so much of this! In addition I was sooooo frustrated with how it felt like Carlton was playing bisexuality up to be this big, terrible, DAAAARK secret, that was super super shameful and difficult... And that just felt like biphobia to me. I mean, I am a LGBT+ person, I get the hate and the fear you live with daily - but the way he build it up and made it such a big deal really felt like he was trying to piss her off and make a issue of something, that really doesn't have to be a issue. I mean, yeah it might not be first date material, and it's always uncomfortable and scary coming out to someone - but this way felt purposely shady, and painted bisexuals in a really really bad light.

[@princessdior9]

agree - he framed himself being bi as something that HE felt ashamed and scared about before he even told her. He ended up telling her in a rude, accusatory, defensive, belligerent way - when if he was real about her and wanting to be with her could have calmly told her with no judgment before he proposed to her.

[@rachelking5387]

Yes!!! You broke this down perfectly, and so well spoken about it too. Honestly the way he was bothered me more than the Jessica and mark thing just because of how much he believed himself. Ya know? Like at least Jessica voiced her doubts and concerns lol. Idk but again, love this video love how well spoken you are and how honest you are!

[@littlemisslexi1224]

Love your work girl!

[@GraceReport]

Thanks so much!!

[@runswithrabbits2470]

I am living for these recaps 🙌They are spot on!

[@GraceReport]

Thanks so much!!

[@GDOLCEVITA]

I think the reason why he thinks he’s constantly being rejected is the same reason what he’s doing to Diamond. Which is leading them on and confronting his sexuality last minute. People reject him because he’s a liar who always victimises himself. This guy is embarrassing to watch

[@Chanel_Number5]

Even before Carlton admitted that he was Bi, I didn’t like him. And the way he was trying to be hypermasculine when they first got to the island with the “daddy” talk and just throwing little jabs at her was annoying. I’m pretty sure he thought he was flirting but it was not landing at all🥴
