Love Is Blind star Abhishek "Shake" Chatterjee just can't stop talking about hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey—and fans are dragging him for it.
Replying to a meme of his infamous "the only one I'm attracted to is Vanessa" moment during the reunion on the official Love Is Blind Instagram, Shake wrote "Just here to say you guys make a lovely couple," along with the "pleading face" emoji.
Shake's comment got over 100 replies. While some of Shake's fans hopped in to defend him, the majority of the comments were not exactly friendly.
"just shut the freak up," @gibbysworlddd wrote.
"stick to dogs buddy, you don't have a way with people but you have a complex like you do LOL" @velvetoro said.
"yoooo major creep vibes the moment you spoke the words you did. Check yourself dood," @mama__mack wrote.
A number of people brought up a "suck it Nick" comment allegedly made by Shake—but Newsweek could not confirm that this was a comment made on this meme, or merely a reference to comments Shake made earlier in the week calling Nick a "massive tw*t."
"what happened to your 'suck it Nick' comment lmao," @dianastayhappy said.
"you got scared so you deleted the other comment??? Haaaaaaa," @aubreymadysen wrote.
Some of Shake's defenders did chime in.
"Why do some of you feel like you have the right to silence Shake's voice? He can comment all he wants after all he was a participant. And your hate towards him will not influence/change his opinions in any way [woman shrugging emoji]," @breebillie wrote.
"dude you're the best on the show! Most entertaining, you rock man ahaha [fire emoji]" @j619x said.
This week, Shake's relationship with the Lacheys has been rather rocky. Following the outburst on the reunion show where he declared his attraction to Vanessa, he called Nick out in a now-deleted Instagram post on Monday.
"You put a doctor on the show... of course you were going to see some critical thinking," Shake wrote. "Speaking of which, @nicklachey you're a massive tw*t for your comment dragging vets. You do realize that becoming a veterinarian considerably more difficult than becoming a human doc right?"
"Also consider learning how to be an impartial host before the season 3 reunion airs. Sorry I didn't play along with your narrative like the rest of these puppets. Say hi to @vanessalachey for me," he added.
After it was deleted, Shake called it "censorship" and accused Instagram of acting like "communist China."
Newsweek reached out to the Lacheys' representatives for comment.
