“THE DARK SIDE OF LOVE”: Love Is Blind’s Edmond Harvey BREAKS SILENCE on Autism Rumors, Admitting His Struggles With Impulse Control Led to Emotional Manipulation and Intense Pressure on Kalybriah, Leaving Fans SHOCKED by the Confession
As Love Is Blind fans gear up for tonight’s (Oct. 29) highly anticipated reunion, one cast member is taking control of his own narrative. Edmond Harvey, who became a topic of viral discussion this season, is speaking out about the online speculation surrounding his behavior on the show. Read more about how Harvey has found growth amid autism rumors.
Following his emotional altar moment with Kalybriah, where she ultimately said “no,” Edmond found himself at the center of TikTok debates and social media diagnoses. Viewers speculated that his demeanor and emotional responses might indicate he is on the autism spectrum. But in a recent interview, Edmond made it clear that the armchair analysis had gone too far.
“I’ve seen all the TikToks going off on me about why I’m on the spectrum and how I’ve got autism,” Edmond said on the Jumpstreet Podcast, according to The Tab. “Doctors or who are called doctors or therapists are saying I’m diagnosed with things. That’s a little crazy.”
The reality star, who was often labeled “childish” and “not ready for marriage” by fans, shared that while the negativity was difficult to process, it has taught him valuable lessons about grace and resilience.
“If you are not getting judged, I don’t know,” he added. “But I do embrace it. The main thing I’ve learned is that your response is the most predominant thing. You should always respond with love, gentleness, and care.”
Prime Timer reports that Edmond described the experience as “challenging, emotional, and necessary,” reflecting on how being in the public eye has pushed him to better understand himself.
“It make[s] you grow in a whole different way,” he explained. “This is not my first time being judged, but it’s the first time it’s been so public.”
Harvey reflects publicly on his personal Instagram account ahead of the reunion. On a post he shared on Oct. 24, the Love Is Blind star says, “This experience changed me in ways I never expected. Watching it all back reminded me that growth doesn’t always look graceful—sometimes it’s challenging, emotional and necessary.” He goes on to express how he “showed up with an open heart,” made mistakes and learned about the type of man he hopes to be.

As the Love Is Blind reunion airs tonight, Edmond’s story serves as a reminder of the importance of empathy and restraint. In an era where social media can amplify both love and cruelty in equal measure, his experience is one to learn from. For Edmond, the real takeaway seems to be that healing starts with self-awareness and ends with compassion.

‘RHOSLC’ star Britani Bateman blasts ‘crass’ Meredith Marks for shady nickname: ‘Doesn’t need to stoop that low’
Britani Bateman is firing back after Meredith Marks took a not-so-subtle jab at her — and her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” co-star Whitney Rose.
Throughout the press cycle for the Bravo series, Marks has referred to Bateman as “S–tani 2,” while calling Rose “S–tney 1,” shady nicknames that clearly didn’t sit well with Bateman.
“I think it’s crass and I think it’s beneath her,” Bateman tells Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea” exclusively. “She’s a smart lady. She doesn’t need to stoop that low.”
Britani Bateman breaks down her “Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” beef with Meredith Marks during a chat with Page Six’s “Virtual Reali-Tea.”
Bateman believes Marks is “crass” for dubbing her “S–tani 2,” while nicknaming her other onscreen foe Whitney Rose “S–tney 1.”
The tension between Bateman and Marks has been simmering ever since Season 5, when the latter accused the “friend of” newcomer of secretly recording a heated altercation between cast members during a group bus ride.
Bateman has firmly denied intentionally filming the chaos, insisting it was all a misunderstanding.
Still, the scandal created a lasting rift between the two women — one that continues to spill over into the current season as Marks’ sharp tongue and penchant for wordplay find a new target in Bateman.
Bateman (far left) and Marks (far right) started clashing in Season 5, when the former joined the series as a “friend of” the cast (pictured here with Kristen Wiig at a Hollywood event in July).
Marks accused Bateman of secretly recording a heated altercation between cast members during a group bus ride — which Bateman has insisted was not the case, just a misunderstanding.
While Bateman is no stranger to the drama that comes with being part of the “Housewives” orbit, she says that she prefers to keep things classy — a trait she attributes to her strict Mormon upbringing.
“I wasn’t even allowed to say ‘shut up,’” the singer shares. “Yeah, like that’s how Mormon we were growing up, which I love and I raised my kids like that too. And I love that.”
Bateman says Marks is a “smart lady” who is capable of having more couth when it comes to verbal jabs.
Although Bateman (far right) and Marks (second from right) remain at odds, the TikTok singing sensation is happy to report that she and frenemy Brownwyn Newport (far left) are in a better place today.
While things remain icy with Marks, Bateman is thrilled that any contention with Bronwyn Newport seems to be thawing. Despite previous friction, the women seem to be getting closer and closer both on and off camera.
“I’m really starting to appreciate Bronwyn,” gushes Bateman. “She’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, she’s savvy and she’s kind.”
“The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.
