CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: Fans of 'Love is Blind' Season 6 were eagerly anticipating the reunion to catch up on the drama surrounding many contestants, including Matthew Duliba. They hoped to see him and hear his perspective on the events that unfolded during the show.  However, their hopes were dashed when Matthew did not show up for the reunion. This absence was evident not only in the trailer but also throughout the entire episode, where Matthew was noticeably absent.

It's safe to say that this absence comes after Matthew publicly blamed Netflix for tarnishing his image and providing a false portrayal of him on the show. He claimed that the editing misrepresented him and depicted him in a way that did not accurately reflect his true self. Despite this, Netflix extended Matthew an invitation, which the financial advisor had declined. 

However, despite Matthew's absence, the reunion did not lack drama. It delved into several fiery topics, such as Trevor's controversial screenshots with his girlfriend outside of the show. Additionally, there was a confrontation between AD and Clay, addressing their differences which led to their split on the show. Furthermore, the reunion explored Jimmy and Chelsea's complicated love status, which kept viewers on the edge of their seats. 

What did Mathew Duliba accuse Netflix of? 

Soon after Matthew walked out of the show, he took to Instagram to share his perspective. He posted two comments under a relevant Instagram post, defending himself and implying that he was portrayed unfairly due to editing, which made him appear insensitive. 

"Key element of my story that was never disclosed is that I live an alcohol-free lifestyle and did the experiment sober. It was a key factor in why I had so much difficulty connecting with women in the beginning," he wrote. "There were also many misrepresentations and falsehoods created, in my opinion, to smear my character. I look forward to telling my side of the story with the full truth at the appropriate time," he commented. 

At the end of his comments, Matthew also added that he planned to share more truth about the situation soon. Fans speculated that he might reveal further details during the reunion, but to their disappointment, he did not show up.

Is Mathew Duliba dating Amber Grant now? 

Matthew left the show after finding himself in hot waters for attempting to pursue both AD and Amber simultaneously. However, the situation took a toll on him, leading to feelings of guilt. Eventually, he made the decision to leave the show to pursue a relationship with Amber, especially after she left the show heartbroken due to his indecisiveness. 

Very little is known about the outcome of the show's events involving Matthew and Amber, but it's evident that their relationship didn't progress much beyond the show. An indication of this is the fact that they are not even following each other on Instagram, suggesting that there's nothing cooking between the two.
