Love Is Blind season 3 aired years ago, but fans are still sticking up for Cole Barnett after how he was portrayed on the show and in the media. While Love Is Blind has paired some successful matches, there have also been some disastrous couples on one of the best reality TV shows. Cole, who was engaged to his now ex-fiancee Zanab Jaffrey during their season, did not wind up getting married in the end. As fans await Love Is Blind season 7, it’s time to revisit Cole’s journey on the show.
While there has been a lot of speculation about what happened between Cole and Zanab after Love Is Blind season 3, what has been seen of the couple is, at times, alarming. The pair were not well-matched and often caused conflict between viewers who were more on one side than the other. When Zanab alleged that Cole had been verbally abusive towards her during her speech to him at their wedding, some felt Cole was being undeservedly called out for something he hadn’t actually done.
Love Is Blind Fans Think Cole Barnett Was Mistreated
” The only thing Cole is guilty of is being immature..there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that. “
With more time and distance from Love Is Blind season 3, fans have been vocal about feeling like Cole was mistreated by both Zanab and the audience. Some took to the Reddit thread, u/Maarrly, with one commenter saying, “The only thing Cole is guilty of is being immature..there isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that.” Another Love Is Blind season 3 fan chimed in, saying, “He def needs to grow up, and he’s def not the victim. I’m not going to pat him on the back, but I’m not going to drag him either.” Many feel Cole is being dragged unnecessarily when no one knows the whole story.
Love Is Blind’s Cole Barnett Doesn’t Deserve This Harsh Criticism
With Cole’s reputation getting dragged by cast members and viewers, it seems the people tearing him down need to take a break. While some of Cole’s actions on the show were not the most mature or favorable, everyone on Love Is Blind has made questionable choices in the past, and Cole is showing signs of taking accountability.
In the Love Is Blind: After The Altar episodes, Cole even admitted that while he knew he acted less-than-favorably, he had been hurt by Zanab and understood the criticism surrounding him. As a first-time reality TV star, the revelation that his actions could have been harmful to others is more than most would expect. Finally, it seems Cole’s legacy has gotten turned around.
Love Is Blind continues to be one of the most popular reality TV shows despite notable controversy. However, Cole has been mostly redeemed after fans online realized Zanab was manipulating the truth. With Cole moving on and doing his best to get past the difficulties he faced in his relationship with Zanab, fans are still supporting him. Though Cole and Zanab weren’t quite the most dramatic couple of Love Is Blind season 3, they are one of the most talked about.
