Lauren Speed-Hamilton is calling out Love Is Blind for not showing more Black women on the show. Lauren has remained a staple of the true love that is possible to come out of the marriage experiment. Lauren and her now-husband, Cameron Hamilton, hit it off in the show’s first season and remain one of the few couples who have managed to make it past meeting on the Netflix series. Since Love Is Blind season 1, criticism has mounted against the new cast members, who many believe aren’t joining the experiment for the right reasons.
Amid all the disapproval from fans, Lauren took to Twitter to vent her frustrations about the new season. “I don’t like how LIB be cutting all the black women,” Lauren tweeted. “How come they are always in the trailer but not the show….” Lauren’s comments seemingly refer to Love Is Blind season 3, which had 30 singles who didn’t get enough ample screen time. The cast of women singles included Alexia Alfia, Colleen Reed, Nancy Rodriguez, Amanda Peterson, Raven Ross, Zanab Jaffrey, Brannigan Maxwell, Charita Scott, Chelsey Jordan, and more. However, when it came to whose pod dating experiences made the final cut, Brannigan, Charita, and Chelsey were somehow nowhere in sight.
Fans Are ‘Unimpressed’ With Love Is Blind Season 3

Others who were seen but not shown dating include Kalekia Adams, Kimberlee Clark, and others. Fans who saw Lauren’s tweet agreed and explained why they weren’t too pleased with the new season. “I wanna see more black women finding love on tv. Its [sic] so sad,” one fan who explained why they weren’t “impressed” with Love Is Blind season 3. One fan speculated about the reason behind the lack of Black women on the popular show. “Are they just not clicking enough with other participants?” they asked. Others expressed their lack of faith in seeing the show return to its glory days. “It’s been downhill since Season 1,” one fan quipped while praising Lauren and Cameron for having “broken the mold.“
The new season has produced many twists, turns, and unexpected events. The Love Is Blind season 3 singles that viewers might’ve thought would become strong couples were soon overlooked by a new couple taking center stage. Nancy and Bartise, Colleen and Matt, Alexa and Brennon, SK and Raven, and Zanab and Cole were the five couples to leave the Love Is Blind pods an engaged pair. The couples went on to spend their first night together and kept things amicable while showing signs of impending drama. The cracks started to show when some couples started fighting and showing signs of disconnection.
As Love Is Blind season 3 continues airing, fans are sharing their mixed reactions to the new cast dynamic. After last season saw no couples make it long-term, doubts around the marriage experiment have mounted. Now alums are calling out the show for not showing more Black women finding love on the show. Each season, singles join the experiment, but some don’t get any screen time. But if it were up to Lauren and many others, viewers would see more diversity in the dating pods.
