Jimmy from Love Is Blind Denies Claims of Having a Girlfriend During the Show
Did it really happen or not? Love Is Blind's season 6 participant, Jimmy Presnell, has refuted accusations of having a girlfriend while participating in the famous reality show on Netflix.
“I have never met this woman. Her claims are false,” stated 28-year-old Jimmy on Thursday, February 22, responding to a TikTok video by Ryann Stringfellow which hinted that she was romantically involved with Jimmy during the series.
He further said, “I have to hand it to her for such an ingenious marketing strategy. She's earning a considerable amount of clicks and cashing in significantly on my name. It's utterly surreal. She doesn't mention me by name, but she's evidently suggesting it's me.”
The software sales professional wasn't planning on addressing the allegations initially, but due to the sheer volume of individuals forwarding the video to him, he felt compelled to do so. He also urged anyone who viewed the video to “report it, please.”
“Right now, she's clocking around 16 million views which, in my opinion, is absolutely staggering,” he added, “and it’s off that it’s gaining that much momentum, so I felt obligated to clarify here that the claim isn't true.”
Ryann never specifically identified Jimmy as the man she was discussing, but she referred to him talking to a woman on Love Is Blind who “has a child,” leading viewers to believe she was alluding to Jess Vestal. Ryann's video gained millions of views rapidly after it was posted on February 16.
“Imagine my shock when I switch on the new season of Love Is Blind and there's my boyfriend,” she exclaimed. “Are you surprised? Because I most certainly am.”
Nevertheless, one of her subsequent videos gave the impression she had concocted the story, a suspicion some fans already had.
“You taught me a lesson that was necessary for me to learn,” Ryann mimed in a video uploaded on February 17.
However, quite a few fans weren't impressed and used the comments section to vent their frustration.
“I hope your fleeting 15 minutes of fame were worth it, you'll soon realize they weren't,” commented a TikTok user.
Another comment read, “Fabricating such a story just for some attention truly demonstrates poor character, it's quite sad.”
However, it seems she was unperturbed by his retort and reaffirmed her stance when she stitched Jimmy's video and nonchalantly snacked on chips and guacamole. “Two sides to every story … right?,” she penned in the caption.
Until Ryann provides credible evidence, fans seem skeptical about her narrative.
