Love Is Blind's Rob appeared in an interview on the Club Ambition podcast where he addressed the backlash he received for his behavior on the show. He said (via the Club Ambition podcast):

"Whatever, you guys, you know, I had a couple bad moments, regretfully, learn, grow. But the opinions, the lies don't affect... the opinions of the sheep."

He also went on to blame the edit and said that the opinions of people close to him mattered to him and added:

"So, for me, it's you never could understand the tough skin you have to develop when you're hearing all these lies, all these crazy things. I'm aggressive. I vehemently protect women."

As a member of the audience, I appreciate Rob talking about growing up and learning from the experience. But coming after the viewers and calling their criticism the "opinion of sheep" does not sit right with me.

So, after blaming Michaella on Love Is Blind for being on the show for the wrong reasons, he now suggested that viewers were wrong for holding him accountable.

Love Is Blind's Rob's behavior had to be called out

Rob displayed a lot of problematic behavior during Love Is Blind that deserved to be called out. If we revisit the scenes from Michaella's meeting with Rob's friends, we see that Rob did nothing as his friends got nasty with their comments toward Michaella.

Rob claimed on the Club Ambition podcast that he "vehemently" protects women, but we did not see that same protectiveness from him when it came to the woman he was about to marry.

To top it off, Rob went a step further and got mad at the production for refusing to serve more drinks. He then came back and started confronting Michaella for calling him "aggressive."

That was very problematic, and I am sure had Rob been one of the members of the audience, he would have felt the same. How are audience members being "sheep" on this one? For pointing out the thing we all saw?

The anger Rob displayed during the mixer should have been called out. Even though Rob had clarified that the pressure and anxiety had made him behave that way, that does not fix everything.

The truth is that Rob was obnoxious and problematic during the mixer on Love Is Blind, and taking all his anxiety and pressure out on the person he wanted to spend his life with was not okay.

Interestingly, though Rob claims in the podcast that he has 'tough' skin and the opinions don't affect him, that was the only thing that bothered him after he realized what he had done at the mixer.

Rob said:

"What are we doing, bro? Are they gonna rip us apart?... I am getting canceled. I disrupted the whole thing."

So, Rob did care what people would say or think. And now, to degrade the audience and say all of this does not make any sense.

Rob, take notes from John on how to accept criticism and backlash, since John did not accuse the audience but took ownership of his actions.

Love Is Blind is streaming on Netflix.
