Love Is Blind Zanab Jaffrey Defends Herself After Receiving Backlash Over ‘Cuties’ Scene During Reunion Episode

Zanab Jaffrey is firing back at her ex-fiancé Cole Barnett and the internet after facing backlash for the Love Is Blind reunion! *Warning – possible spoilers ahead!* As fans witnessed, the pair’s engagement on Season 3 of the popular Netflix series was far from smooth sailing.

Their relationship grew increasingly rocky after leaving the pods and entering back into the real world as they often got into arguments, one of which viewers saw Cole ask if Zanab was “bipolar.” Previously in the season, the 27-year-old also admitted his attraction to co-star Colleen Reed and even compared Zanab’s body to hers – calling his partner a nine out of ten and Colleen a ten out of ten.

Their romance ultimately (and unsurprisingly) came to an end when the 32-year-old realtor said, “I don’t,” at the altar.

She delivered an explosive speech in front of their loved ones about how Cole never treated her with respect and constantly body-shamed her to the point where he “single-handedly shattered my self-confidence.” Whoa!

Later, on the reunion episode, Zanab further accused Cole of trying to “control” what she ate and making comments about her appearance throughout their relationship (both on and off camera), resulting in her starving herself sometimes.
