HOUSTON, TEXAS: Netflix's 'Love is Blind' Season 5 star Stacy Snyder took to Instagram after the Reunion episode aired to bring more clarity to the fans. As fans of the show accused her of being a "bully," Stacy defended herself as she explained why she behaved the way she did with Johnie Maraist. Furthermore, in her post, she accused a fellow co-star of body shaming.
Stacy issued a 4-page statement on her Instagram, starting with, "I have anxiously been waiting in silence to address the context of where my frustration and anger comes from regarding Johnie." She went on to reveal that Johnie "bashed" her in person, making comments about her physical appearance during and outside the filming of the show.
Stacy revealed Johnie making comments like "Izzy would never be happy with her," "If that's what he wants he's going to have bigger problems outside of here," "Stacy is the safe choice," "If Izzy chooses Stacy, he's going to be disappointed at reveal because she is not hot."
Stacy remembered Johnie making comments about her not being memorable and scoffing in a sarcastic tone. This made Stacy feel as if she was not worth being a memorable person with Johnie's "deceitful comment."
Stacy further added that instead of replying back to her comments she chose to focus on her relationship with Izzy Zapata. The star went on to explain why she made comments on Johnie's face. She was shocked seeing Johnie's reaction after Uche Okoroha's "awful accusations" about Lydia Arleen. And knowing Johnie was close to Lydia she expected her to support her and not be shocked.
Stacy ended her post by saying all cast members witnessed these things and encouraged her to speak up. She captioned the post, "This statement was created to give clarity and context and will be the last that I want to discuss this aspect of my experience. I am someone that wants to move forward and I do not believe that I should be made out to be a terrible person for not wanting to engage with someone who does not have good will towards me for any reason."
