Love Is Blind alum Shayne Jansen is taking a break from social media after his behavior on a recent Instagram Live sparked concern amongst his followers. 

The reality star wrote, “Everyone loves a scandal,” on his Instagram Story and attributed the quote to himself. 

Jansen added, “See y’all next week or month.”

Earlier this week, fans expressed worry for Jansen after he struggled to form coherent sentences during a live video.

The Season 2 contestant was fidgety and repeatedly diverted his attention around his room while filming.

One fan wrote on TikTok, “He’s always been energetic but seems to be on something? Hope he gets help.”

Following this incident, Jansen took to TikTok to comment on the controversy. “I’m Eminem, they are Papa Doc. Everything about me is out there. Let’s have fun,” he wrote. 

The video had on-screen text that read, “What tea you want next about the victim princess?” in reference to recent allegations he made about former contestant Deepti Vempati after her former Love Is Blind fiancé Shake Chatterjee claimed that he walked in on her doing cocaine with Jansen.

In the video, Jansen called himself the “Man of the People.”

The Netflix reality star denied his usage of drugs while appearing on Love Is Bling after others took issue with his energetic behavior.

“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 in March.

“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,” he continued to tell former Bachelor star Nick Viall.

Jansen said his behavior was a result of his “severe ADHD.”

In addition to Love Is Blind, Jansen starred in Netflix’s Perfect Match, which brings together contestants from other reality shows on the streamer, including The Mole and Too Hot to Handle, to find love. 

Jansen’s mother, who appeared with him on Love Is Blind, died in October.

“I’m broken inside but I know I can live with zero regrets knowing we did everything together,” he wrote at the time of her passing.
