LOVE IS BLIND CREATOR EXPLAINS WHY THEY DIDN'T PROTECT ASHLEY!

[@yagirlpaypay]

Even taking the kids out of it: Tyler was homeless and had 7 evictions on his record as well as other open court cases. How do they look at that and think this person could be ready for an accelerated marriage experiment? That is my issue with their vetting process

[@tabkaliO]

And depending upon the state, if they mingle their finances, creditors good go after Ashley for that debt.

[@xletragedyx]

It makes sense why he wanted to go on the show. He was definitely gonna propose to someone so he could go to Mexico and not be homeless for a bit longer, then have that apartment for a bit after that. Hobosexual tingz

[@e-one-off9870]

7 evictions!?!?!!!😳

[@caseyw.6550]

​@wearesatellites91 Should they put convicted criminals on the show as well? Please be for real. No, bumble doesn't vet people, but this show has the resources to do better than that. 🙄 You really can't figure out where they should draw the line?? They need to draw it somewhere! No one is asking for people on the show to be perfect. We are asking for some basic standards to keep people from being put into a knowingly dangerous situation.

[@dejajohnson9714]

Ashley isn’t a victim she is choosing to go along with this mess

[@Thatgirl12-fp3uq]

Yes, she is not a victim.

[@kikieaddy2576]

I differ from that to a certain degree of a small amount , but she’s headed towards pain or paradise. She actually said he’s a good guy some delusion coming from her.

[@angelmushahf]

The casting crew should not have selected Tyler in the first place. Deadbeat dad, habitual cheater, liar. Owes a bunch of child support. Apparently, he’s been evicted a bunch of times. The production team does not care about the quality of their cast members. They need this drama for ratings. And guess what? We love the drama lol

[@GaloGaloso]

Never crew Tyler. Tyler got married and still is. Face your loss on this

[@sherilynn6850]

My daughter lives in DC and they tried to recruit her she was thinking about it but decided against. I’m so glad she didn’t , this was the worst group of people they have ever had.

[@oekmama]

It seems like even good people may not make it further on the show if they don’t get past the pods.

[@caseyw.6550]

Yeah, she dodged a bullet BIG TIME.

[@tori.doe.]

Yes! You've raised a smart woman!

[@Camillechristina]

I don’t understand why they are recruiting people

[@oekmama]

@ aesthetics.

[@gettingtotheroot6772]

It’s sad because both Tyler and Ashley’s dads were deadbeat fathers. They are repeating the same painful cycles instead of breaking them. So sad. Ashley is a willing participant at this point, she’s not a victim. Only those children are. And they claim God this God that at every corner… their actions aren’t very Godly. Just selfish.

[@nickoletcampbell4657]

Well, Ashely claims to be a Cristian woman 😁and Lyler is just using that as a tool to manipulate her. Essentially he is mirroring the things the likes/are passionate about to "bond" with her and then control her emotions.

[@suras8984]

Even though Ashley doesnt seem to care that Tyler has abandoned his kids. I dont think that takes away from the accountability this self proclaimed Social Experiment should have in protecting contestants. They are bringing people together for marriage. There should be credit checks. Do they owe child support? Criminal charges? How many evictions? They are eliminating the normal vetting process that dating in real life provides and so they need to compensate by doing vetting on the bigger issues. If Ashley and Tyler get a joint account because Tyler owes 30k in child supp the gov will take the owed payments from their joint account. If Ashley ever wants to buy a house she wont be able to because of what Tyler owes. Marriages have financial consequences so the show should do a better job. If the internet found this info in the first week or two of the show it should have been easy to check.

[@TT.3123]

I think the problem is they know that the messier the person, the more opportunity for drama and the more money they make - at someone else’s expense. 😢 I mean think about it; I know love is hard to find in this world now more than ever before. But a few of these people like Marissa and Ashley admitted that they’ve never had men treat them so well before, which leads me to believe that maybe they had low expectations/low self esteem from childhood trauma or they are used to settling. That, or they are just really easy to love bomb. There are some other people that would not be caught dead on a show like this, and would rather remain single and at peace for life lol.

[@devochkadee]

Ashley just did a very TELLING interview on Nick Viall, where she stands by Tyler's choice to practically ghost his own kids..so yeah they deserve each other.

[@SEOshogun]

LIB is playing with fire at this point. They have already been sued because someone was assaulted on one of the honeymoons a couple seasons ago. If they're not going to protect the cast people should stop going on the show and we should certainly stop watching

[@caseyw.6550]

I hope they get sued into the ground.

[@GladToBeNatural]

Im going to stop watching. But people enjoy black women suffering/pain and may continue to watch. I agree though we need to stop giving them attention

[@SEOshogun]

@GladToBeNatural I'm with you. I almost stopped the last two seasons. After what happened to Aaliyah and then AD, I'd sworn the show off! But they got me with so much representation in this season, and I'm from DC. I was lured back in with hope in numbers but no. This was the worst one yet. No more!

[@caseyw.6550]

@@SEOshogun I have a new found sympathy for women in DC

[@GladToBeNatural]

@@SEOshogun omg Aaliyah 🩵 you're so right that was horrible 🥺!! I knew they wouldnt confront Tyler because of how they treated Lydia on her season. Washing away any deceit/bad intention she had because Lydia was there married couple. I wanted AD to leave Clay when she said he wouldn't come home to stay with her tbh. But it was still wrong

[@abbyb3866]

Does production ask if the participants are already married?? Wouldn’t that be illegal? Running from child support is also illegal, and that’s exactly what Tyler is doing! Production should vett for dead-beat parents owing child support. I think the public is up in arms, because Tyler abandoned three children. He probably has more than those three out there too!!

[@TT.3123]

My thought exactly!! Like who’s to say there are only 3?! He already denied THOSE 3 to begin with. Lol

[@froonamission1013]

The documentary rules don't reply to them because they aren't making a documentary. They are creating a show for entertainment that binds people into legal marriages. A spouse whose only a spouse for a day could potentially be held liable for child support that the other spouse owes. There are states that show zero mercy when it comes to these situations. They were wrong for this.

[@caseyw.6550]

Dead wrong. This shit is so disgusting and exploitative.

[@oekmama]

Technically it’s the same documentary principle as in The Real World, or reliving life on a medieval farm. The producers set up the situation then film what happens after. They edit to tell the story, but maybe the women should be vetting more. I mean, the guys sussed out pretty quickly that Brittany was interested in wealthy guys. Isn’t it fair to encourage the women to be as vigilant as well?

[@eyekandy3000]

You can’t feel sorry for someone who doesn’t feel sorry for themselves. Ashley voluntarily decided to go ahead with a wedding with this knowledge. Even if she only knew the surface level details, I would’ve said let’s just continue dating in the real world. Why on earth would I marry you? I have no idea so it’s all on her at this point.

[@oekmama]

@ that is what is slowly sink in for us right now. Every time she opens her mouth. She had a plan for her life. She didn’t want a stepchild stealing her shine. She still doesn’t. That’s what came out her mouth. She thinks she can manage the narrative, but all she’s doing is telling on herself. Showing herself up to have low moral character.

[@jackeeB]

This casting person is skipping a few steps. The issue is that Tyler should not have been casted in the FIRST PLACE! That's it, and that's all.🤷🏿‍♀️

[@honestlysis]

Listening to that statement shows me that the LIB Producers coached Tyler & Ashley on how to handle this… good for them… but I’m opting out of this show! It’s not honest or ethical

[@angelmushahf]

I can’t even be mad at production tho. Ashley is the problem. She is the villain of her own story. She knows everything by now. There’s no way she didn’t see Bri’s video. She knows but she is lost in desperation fairyland. Lol

[@TT.3123]

She knows, but her mind won’t let her forget about the way he made her feel all this time leading up to now. She would rather stay in dreamland and feel something she’s always wanted to feel that isn’t real, than come back to reality and accept the hurt and heartbreak.

[@angelmushahf]

@@TT.3123FACTS!!!! 💯 👏🏿

[@rebeccav.2055]

If they owe major child support then they shouldn’t be allowed to be on any show the same way you can’t get a passport if you owing a certain amount of child support .doenst matter gender really

[@angelmushahf]

Ashley didn’t protect herself!

[@TT.3123]

This!!…and I don’t wanna hear any of ppls comments saying “she didn’t know how to”! At a certain point, she stopped being the victim. She’s now become a willing participant.

[@aubsarg0222]

What’s crazy to me is that love is blind is an experiment and each new season they DONT make adjustments. For one, they need to have a therapist for these couples. I think it would be beneficial and interesting to watch 2. They should be showing the couples before wedding day any dirt they have dug up to see if they still say yes. I think it would create drama even more so than the reveal, Lastly, I dk why they bring these horrible ppl on the show. In the end they are mostly boring. And I hate how they go on other reality tv shows. Like this shouldn’t be allowed. I don’t watch perfect match or any of the other ones

[@lalaxo5869]

The person doing psychological reviews must be fired. A majority of these people on love is blind are not mentally fit to be out in an accelerated experiment. It's not fair

[@hawa_88]

Documentaries don’t set up a situation, you film an already existing situation. Reality tv shows and their producers however do insert themselves in the mix therefore they have a responsibility not to put people in harms way. Tyler is the type of person that should have never been on the show, this is unethical. One can be an interesting character for tv without causing havoc in other people’s lives.

[@unapologeticallyromel7096]

Hey Grace ❤ I'm so happy this season is over good luck to her.

[@suras8984]

It was very entertaining and maddening with Tyler abandoning his kids and I'm so happy its done. I wanted to watch the LIB habibi but this season tired me out lol

[@its_maya_hee]

Filming someone, profiting off that film instead of helping them when you easily could, is not art, it’s unethical and sadistic. It may go against the rules of documentary filmmaking, but it also goes against him ethics.

[@TonyG-b2s]

The creator is full of ish. They should have never used tyler with his background.

Agreed. They saw dollar signs when they looked at him 🙄

[@purine1400]

[@caseyw.6550]

Me too

[@NoaNoir]

3 Kids and eviction without ever have been a divorced person is a HUGE red flag for this type of show. You're vetting to set up strangers. Kinectic who also produces MAFS never casts single parents for that show for this very reason. These women are giving sexual and emotional access to people rhat should've provided info. They just let ONE recent single parent on LIB and it was a mom who obviously has the custodial burden.

[@berenic90]

Ashley never needed protection. She's going podcast to podcast defending this deadbeat and she's cosigning it....truly disgusting

[@TT.3123]

And the sad part is the partner wouldn’t know until after they get their phones back on the show. I know it’s a part of the process; but it’s actually kind of manipulative for them to not have access to their phones until they reach a very close point and have catch feelings.

They literally call themselves a social experiment. And they aren't even allowed to divorce until after the reunion. Shot gun wedding with strangers can have major ramifications if they don't do proper background checks.

[@Neco2684]

He isn't the first on the show to have kids. The others were just honest. So now no one can have kids and be on the show?

[@suras8984]

@@Neco2684 lets say in Tylers situation that if he said that he doesnt have kids and they discovered with a quick social media search that he does have kids it should disqualify him. I believe I heard him say he did not disclose that he had kids. But in general Im not sure contestants should have kids due to potential child predators and LIB clearly doesn't vet properly. I think it would be traumatizing even in the best of circumstances for a kid to have a random man/woman live with them after just meeting them.

[@nginyuivy8284]

@@Neco2684 i am not sure why you are talking about having kids. The pb was and never will be about having kids. It’s the level of psychopathy of having and raising kids and then disowning them in 4k when you too are from a broken home.

@@nginyuivy8284totally its the abandonment of the kids, and the fact that he withheld information and lied about something SO major. If he’s a liar it doesn’t stop at one type of lie. And if he could abandon his own offspring, what the heck would he do to his wife?

[@merona1546]

The show would be so boring without the drama though.

[@oekmama]

I think, like Hannah and Nick, Tyler and Ashley made a deal in Cabo. She found out in Cabo and they came up with a marketing plan (that’s her job) and enacted it. Once they got back, he ghosted Bri and scrubbed his FB. They created the scene back in the common apartment, where Ashley labels them „sperm babies“. She dry runs the sperm donor narrative with the girls at the costume party. Seems to go well, she gets no pushback. So they hunkered down to enjoy married life and wait for filming the reunion. What they couldn’t foresee was the balled investigative power of the fans. It’s not so much that Bri, Daeshon and Miss Lovetta came out the woodwork to tell the truth… it’s that people dug up court documents. And Jessie and Rikki‘s exposé hit the airwaves before the reunion aired (but after it was filmed). So too late for them to do any kind of damage control. As Coelen says, it’s your responsibility if you go on the show to do your due diligence. In all seasons, we’ve had women not make connections or refuse to put themselves through BS merely for clout.

[@ayannareyes8734]

The fact that Ashley is still with him and stood ten toes down for him at the reunion!!!! Yea that tells me all I need to know about the type of woman she is

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

[@g.t.7550]

Isn’t this the same thing they said about A.D. when she was in that relationship with that guy who basically called it off right at the altar. He brought his ex-girlfriend in and they had to have like a whole powwow prior to their relationship ending. I feel like the last season, didn’t teach them anything. This is the same issue we had last season where we were like. What are there psychologist doing.? They are not protecting these people.

[@MoniqueHarris1982]

I think the producers stir up trouble/mess but they are not allowed to divulge information they found out in the vetting process. A producer can be fired by telling Ashley, "hey girl," you might want to ask him about a, b, or c. Second, I don't think it's the show's fault that he lied.

[@sleepfulpeace4783]

The excuse doesn't wash because the participants are put in a high pressure situation to develop a romantic connection. There are also ruled designed to prolong the relationships. They have a right to expect duty of care.

[@newid10]

The season when Uche already knew Lydia - I’m sure he said producers had input as to when he revealed the information

[@angelofsugarpops]

As much as want production to improve, Ashley said shes doesn't care, and made up excuses real or not to defend her relationship, so we just have to wash our hands of her. She and Tyler just better live quietly and move on as well and we will forget. Just like how I forgot After the Alter was a thing lol

[@Perception_101]

Although it is different than hiding children. In Tyler case specifically, right of the bat he went in with lies that these children are "sperms babies" that said, who's to say he didn't lie to the producers. And even if he did disclose it. Production doesn't have the right to spread that information for privacy purposes, considering Production believed these are sperms babies. Period

[@colchiquesdanslespres9011]

I think production recruit people based on their socials (at least for some of them), so they could have easily seen all the pictures of the kids on Tyler's page, question him about it and décide not to let him do the show
