DALLAS, TEXAS: 'Love is Blind' Season 3 fans have split into two groups. One of them thinks Zanab Jaffrey did right by saying 'No' to Cole Barnett at the altar and hitting him with the truth. While the other half believes Netflix's reality show did wrong with Cole and intentionally portrayed him as the villain. 

After the show ended, we saw Cole and Zanab both posting on social media about how it affected them. However, Zanab switched off the comments section from Instagram. On the other hand, Cole rather chose to remain more open about his feelings and claimed that 'Love is Blind' taught him some hard lessons in life. The star recently posted a TikTok video on Instagram where he added lots of short clips from the show, including both happy and heartbreaking moments. The video talked about the difference between school and life. He said, "In school, you're taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you're given a test that teaches you a lesson." While talking about life, the video showed Cole crying at the altar and the reunion episode. The star captioned the post, "You either win or you learn, and love is blind taught me a lot. I’ll be better because of it."

'Love is Blind' Season 3 fans defend Cole Barnett and slam Zanab Jaffrey

As soon as Cole posted about how the Netflix show taught him a lesson, fans walked in defending him and brutally slammed Zanab. A fan praised Cole, "Love that through this experience you have continually 1)taken accountability for your actions 2)shown humility and kindness 3)strive to grow and learn. That. Is winning!"

Another wrote, "Adore you! Don’t let anyone dull your sparkle EVERRRRR." Furthermore, another fan said, "Your lesson: stop apologizing to someone who never apologizes or admits their wrongs." 

On the other hand, 'Love is Blind' Season 3 fans also thrashed Zanab for not accepting her mistakes. A fan wrote, "Here’s a reason why SHE can’t even turn her comments on. 99% of people are #teamcole."

Another slammed saying, " Hahaha ... let her be. Probably that’s her stress relief against Cole and the internet. We should give her a nerf gun as a gift to stress her out more, I’d love to donate for that."

"Yeah it’s odd because every day all she posts is the few people on her side and she talks about being unbothered but turned off her comments on everything and then makes a video about the villain era," wrote another fan. 

Furthermore, some compared Cole and Zanab, saying, "Your situation was a shining example of how people will believe everything women say about men without a second thought, but absolutely refuse to believe a man, even when he's telling the truth. You held your ground and the truth came out in that finale, and I'm so glad it did. Stay strong dude, anybody that's reasonable is on your side!"

Is Cole Barnett taking therapy?

A fan recently asked Cole a question on his Instagram, "What is the best thing you've gotten from therapy so far?" This indeed hinted that Cole, scarred from Netflix's reality show, is taking therapy to make things go back to normal in his life. He answered to fan's question that the best thing he has gotten from therapy is "to talk about the things that have impacted you or hurt you or have been traumatizing." He further claimed that there is no such grand thing about therapy. But, "as a guy, you don't ever talk about emotions and feelings, you never do," he added. Therefore, talking about feelings with someone is in a way "freeing" and "liberating" for Cole.
