A PR professional has now made the claims on Reddit, claiming his answers were &#8220;entirely rehearsed&#8221; ahead of the recent reunion.<\/p>\n<p>An entire year went by before Chris was reunited with his co-stars, including <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/realityshrine\/2026\/03\/12\/jessica-announced-her-new-relationship-at-the-love-is-blind-reunion-so-who-is-haramol\/\">Jessica<\/a>, who he offended by saying he wants someone with a Pilates body. So, the PR professional claimed he almost certainly paid a professional for training, and had to show up due to a contract.<\/p>\n<p>They wrote: &#8220;The honest truth: you\u2019re not going to win over this crowd and anything you say to defend yourself will make you look worse. Show up for your Netflix contractual obligation. Do not fill the void.

The second is that if he doesn\u2019t fill the void and over explain or over apologise, he won\u2019t get caught into human instinct to defend himself,&#8221; they said.<\/p>\n<p>The PR expert added: &#8220;The third is that by the end of the reunion his presence was forgettable. The fourth is that he showed up with a new hairstyle and look. It\u2019s methodical and done to ensure any footage of him replayed over the next few years is automatically vintaged.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Obviously I think he\u2019s a bad man. But just wanted to point out some obvious tells that he\u2019s paid a professional for damage control,&#8221; they said.
