Chelsea Says Jimmy’s Words on ‘Love Is Blind’ Were Contradictory
Chelsea interviewed withher friend,Sarah Alysse. She claimed there was a lot that Netflix viewers didn’t see before the clingy argument. “There is so much that is not shown,” she said. “And me, having that conversation and expressing to him like, ‘Hey, […] this is the way I’m feeling. This is how my day has gone. This is…these are real emotions.’ And he was sitting there trying to like, sell himself. Like, ‘No, I kissed you. No, I kissed you.'“She explained they had three weeks to show each other what kind of partner they would be if they got married.
The crew filmed the couple from five to 10 at night because of Jimmy’s work schedule. “In that conversation, too he mentions, ‘You’re in my space too much,'” Chelsea noted. “Which is what really triggered me is because I’m like, ‘I have nowhere to go. We moved in together.'” The flight attendant said she wasn’t in his office, but around the house cleaning.She also avoided working while filming, so she could be present for the process.But Chelsea said Jimmy would say things were moving too fast, which she resented because the timeline for the show is known. Chelsea also said the positive things Jimmy was saying in the Dominican Republic weren’t what he was saying to her. Lastly, she mentioned Jimmy said he was into “smaller” girls in the pods.
