Edmond’s ‘Love Is Blind’ Tantrum Left Fans Concerned About His Mental Health

Season 9 of Netflix's Love Is Blind showed a glimpse of what it's like to be single in Denver, Colo. The 32 contestants on the dating show each have their own unique qualities. However, 29-year-old Edmond Harvey stood out a little more than the rest of his castmates.

Edmond, a realtor, entered the pods with infectious energy, at least to some. To others, his energy was a bit much, especially some of his reactions to his fiancée, Kalybriah "KB" Haskin. When Edmond didn't get his way, the nearly 30-something had a tantrum. No, literally.

Here's the scoop.

Edmond and KB instantly hit it off in the pods. They bonded over their shared familial hardships, including the fact that Edmond spent his childhood in foster care. Their instant chemistry led to Edmond proposing, followed by them joining the other couples for a romantic excursion in Baja, Mexico.

During their trip, Edmond and Kalybriah seemingly hit it off. However, they soon ran into a problem when Kalybriah mentioned they were the only couple who hadn't had sex yet since being engaged.

While it could've been possible that they were too busy to get physical between recently seeing each other for the first time and venturing off for a Jet 2 holiday, when the pair reached their hotel room, KB stated she didn't want to have sex before their wedding in 30 days, stating she wanted their relationship to flourish without it. The revelation upset Edmond, causing him to break down while sitting beside his fiancée in bed.

"I think I’m more locked in emotionally than you are with me,” Edmond tearfully shared.

He continued crying and expressing his disappointment, stating he was "giving you my all" and felt that she didn't love him because she didn't want to have sex with him. Edmond also lamented that his being "too nice" likely caused KB's reservations.

After seeing his tantrum, several Love Is Blind fans questioned Edmond's actions. Many fans called him "annoying" and felt he was immature for his age.

"Edmond is unattractive, has an annoying voice, is trying to guilt KB into having sex with him on national television, is talking about her disrespectfully to a group full of guys, and never knows when to shut the f--k up," one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). "KB, sister, i want more for you!

"He makes me so uncomfortable..." another said. "Like genuinely so so uncomfortable THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM."

Edmond's behavior led some fans to speculate about potential reasons behind his tantrum. Several viewers, including TikTok user @danielleosemene, stated they believe his meltdown was caused by a "developmental delay," which could be associated with trauma. She explained that people who have trauma-induced developmental delays may be "stuck" in the same age they were when the trauma happened.

Other fans have shared they believe Edmond could be neurodivergent, with X user blatantly writing, "Edmond should've been cast for Love on the Spectrum, not Love Is Blind." Edmond, for his part, has never shared any developmental disability diagnoses on the show.
