Clay accuses Netflix of promoting racism, labels 'Love is Blind' a 'White network' amid bad edit allegations
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: Ahead of 'Love is Blind' Season 6 Reunion, Clay Gravesande uploaded a video on Instagram where he pretended to read "negative conspiracy theories." While reading the theories Clay called out the Netflix dating show and dubbed it "a White network."
Clay read the theories about him that said, "You've had implants in your cheeks, you've had a dimple made in your chin, you had your lips enlarged, you've had your eyelash reconstructed..." Clay called these theories "stupid" and said, "none of it's is true."
Seeing Clay call 'Love is Blind' a "White network," a user took to Reddit to claim, "Clay, you knew it was a white network when you signed up!" People started trolling Clay for calling out the show amid negative comments.
One commented, "“a White network” LOOOOL he really thought he ate." Another wrote, "Love that every season, the sh**heads on the show blame everyone else for being terrible people except themselves." Another dubbed Clay's act to be "Race baiting."
"Those words literally came out of his mouth multiple times. People on reality shows LOVE to blame the producers and editing when they’ve done something wrong," commented one. Another called out Clay, "Now this is what playing the race card looks like, does he think anyone’s gonna fall for this excuse lool."
One questioned Clay, "Did the White network force you to talk about cheating all the time too? I bet the White network made your dad cheat too huh??? Black men love to pull this card when they are being held accountable."

'Love is Blind' Season 6: Why did Clay say 'No' to AD at the altar?
Clay believed he was not ready for marriage. Coming on the show, he realized that most of his issues stemmed from his father. He addressed his father's infidelity on national TV, expressing his concerns.
Witnessing men around him cheat on their wives instilled in Clay a fear that he might be capable of the same behavior in the future. He feels he is not prepared to be a husband and needs more time to understand himself better.
'Love is Blind' Season 6 Reunion will air on March 13 at 9 pm ET on Netflix.
