Fans are worried about Love Is Blind alum Shayne Jansen after his erratic behavior on a recent Instagram Live.
While appearing live on the social media platform, the Season 2 contestant revealed his thoughts on the latest season of the Netflix reality show, saying that he isn’t “rooting” for anybody.
As Jansen struggled to form coherent sentences, he also appeared to be fidgeting and looking around the room where he was filming.
The Live seems to have occurred last Sunday (April 16). One fan posted a clip of the interaction on TikTok and wrote, “He’s always been energetic but seems to be on something? Hope he gets help.”
Others echoed the same sentiment in the comments. One wrote, “Someone please check on him reality TV has not been well for him.”
Another commented, “I hope he gets the help he needs. It’s never too late to try.”
One person related Jansen’s behavior to Charlie Sheen‘s own controversial past. They wrote, “If anyone has seen the Charlie Sheen videos where he’s high and talking about tiger blood. This is very similar.”
The concern for Jansen’s wellness made its way to Twitter, where people shared similar thoughts. “Anyone else see Shayne’s live right now on Instagram?? Is he on something? He’s so jittery,” wrote one viewer.
Previously, Shake Chatterjee from the same season of Love Is Blind claimed in an Instagram Live that was later reposted to TikTok that he walked in on his former fiancé, Deepti Vempati, doing cocaine with Jansen. Vempati denied the accusation, but Jansen took to his own TikTok account to allege that she did do drugs with him.
“You can’t handle the truth,” he wrote.
Vempati was also accused of “making fun” of Chatterjee for going to rehab; TikTok user NaijaCatt, who reposted Chatterjee’s Live, wrote in the caption of the clip, “Shane also says deepti made fun of shake for going to rehab!”
In a March interview, Jansen denied his usage of drugs on the reality show. “Have I [used drugs]? Yes. On the show I did not. I have experience with a few of them. Nothing that’s been injected into my body, but I think we’ve all had our times in our lives where we’ve done certain things,” Jansen told The Viall Files podcast.
He continued to tell former Bachelor star Nick Viall, “People thought I was doing cocaine. I’m mic’d up the whole time. Everyone would have heard me do it. It’s wild to think that I was carrying cocaine on me, and I was snorting lines and doing all this kind of stuff in the bathroom when I’m mic’d up.”
Jansen ended the Viall Files segment by slamming fans for commenting snowflake emojis on his Instagram posts, insinuating that he is doing cocaine. He went on to say his energetic behavior was a result of his “severe ADHD.”
