So far, Season 9 of Love Is Blind has been nothing short of absolutely chaotic. We've seen participants on the Netflix reality TV show having temper tantrums, others believing in strange signs of fate, and others still who have gotten too drunk to converse.
It's been a rocky road for former couple Madison and Joe, who split when Joe got cold feet at his tux fitting and bolted from filming. Since the end of the relationship, Madison has opened up about the comments that have been flooding her DMs from other interested men.
Madison Gets Pickup Lines About Her Impaired Vision
One of the things Madison got vulnerable about in the pods was her eye condition—she suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, which means that there may be a point in her life when she goes entirely blind. Madison was nervous to initially discuss the condition, as she feared it would push away potential suitors.
Since opening up on the show, however, Madison says men have been reaching out to her on Instagram to express their interest. She recalled to the New York Post that there were even individuals who had promised they would be a better partner to her than to Joe:
Those who have been following Season 9 will know that when Joe ended the relationship with Madison, he wasn't able to give her a straight answer as to why. Madison told him that he was breaking her heart, and that he didn't even seem interested in comforting her during the moment of the breakup.
Since she finished filming, Madison admitted that she's been trying to meet people in real life once more. She joked that, while she was back to trying to put herself out there, her impaired vision could still make for some awkward moments. In the same conversation with the outlet, she recalled a small snafu she had when flirting with a cute stranger:
Madison added that the same guy also asked her, "Do you have what that girl from Love Is Blind has?," clearly not realizing who she was. No doubt Madison is at least grateful to be raising awareness about retinitis pigmentosa, a disability which affects between 1-2 million people globally.
"In low light situations, my peripherals are very, very difficult to see… So if I’m looking at somebody’s eyes and I’m talking to them, I’m likely not seeing below their nose," Madison teased. As of this article's writing, Madison says that she and Joe aren't in touch very often, and certainly they aren't together. She currently reports that she's single, though open to finding a special someone.
Additional episodes of the show will air on Wednesday. This week, we'll get to see the weddings and find out which of the couples successfully make it to the altar.
