The Jackie Love Is Blind Instagram drama seems to have taken the spotlight off Micah and Irina. Now, the season's new villainess is coming under fire for the way in which she treated her fiancé.
For the uninitiated, we'll give you a quick breakdown: Jackie and Marshall said "I do," but after a somewhat rocky honeymoon, Jackie contemplated whether or not to move forward with her engagement. That's when Josh, her other connection from the pods, reappeared and begged for her back.
"If you're going to marry somebody, marry somebody. But if you don't feel like, heart-to-heart, you're going to marry somebody...pick me," Josh told her...and it looks like she did. Josh and Jackie met up for a coffee date while Marshall was trying on tuxes for their wedding, and she broke up with Marshall after her impromptu get-together. However, Jackie alleges that's not the way things unfolded in real life.
The Jackie 'Love Is Blind' Instagram drama, explained
Judging from the way things were edited, it appeared as if Jackie pursued Josh while still tied to Marshall—and alleged text messages she sent to friends even suggest that she was making a romantic switch. However, in a lengthy post on Instagram on Friday, April 7, she decided to reveal her side of the story.
"Marshall and I were broken up before I saw Josh at the coffee shop," she wrote. "I am wearing different clothes, my hair is styled different and at the end of the video I say, "I DON'T KNOW IF I AM GOING TO BE WITH JOSH. I am not sure what the reason is for playing the coffee shop date before the breakup, but to restate, Marshall and I were broken up before Josh and I had our coffee shop date."
The internet reacts to Jackie's explanation:
Although Jackie has blocked Instagram users from commenting on her post, that hasn't stopped them from taking to other platforms to share their thoughts.
Fans are suspicious about her honesty because of what she says during her sit-down with Marshall: "I just saw Josh." Sure, you could be in a new outfit and have your hair styled differently but you just admitted that you've come from a get-together with your second-choice pod pick.
Needless to say, the internet decided to speak out:
And Jackie had the audacity to say that she saying “I just saw Josh” was a previous audio they used 😂 pic.twitter.com/JB9jnCfvsjApril 11, 2023
Not Netflix releasing specifically this part just after Jackie’s attempt to lie on insta 💀April 10, 2023
Idgaf what y’all gotta say: Jackie and Josh are for each other 😭 her way of going about it might not have been the best, but that’s her person #loveisblindApril 11, 2023
Cheating on someone for the WORLD to see is….a new low for #LoveIsBlind Yall know what y’all doing making the reunion LIVE 😩😭April 11, 2023
However, we did notice during the sit-down with Josh that Jackie is not wearing her engagement ring—the one she refused to give back to Marshall—and she is not wearing it while breaking up with Marshall, either. Was this really the same day, as episode 10 suggests?!
Perhaps she's telling the truth...or maybe she's covering up her tracks? We'll find out during the Love Is Blind season 4 reunion on Sunday, April 16. The first live reunion will start streaming at 8pm ET (5pm PT). We have a feeling you won't want to miss it!
