Watch: Love Is Blind’s Rob Feeley Explains Why “Inappropriate” Diana Perrone Conversation Caused Crash Out
Rob Feeley is shedding light on what set him off on Love Is Blind.
The season 11 star finally explained why he had a meltdown at a group mixer after speaking with castmate and ex Diana Perrone, shouting that he was going to be “cancelled” following their conversation, which was largely unaired.
According to Rob, he didn’t think it was necessary for him to sit down with her in the first place, since he was attending the St. Patrick’s Day party with fiancée Michaella Giorgio.
“When I go in with Michaela, I don’t need to see another girl,” Rob told E! News in an exclusive interview. “I don’t need to see these people. I don’t need to have a conversation with Diana. We ended in the pods respectfully. I think she might have even got engaged herself at some point after.”
“It’s Michaella I care about,” the 40-year-old continued. “I just thought it was inappropriate to put me at a table and try to speak to [Diana]. We had closure.”
After their conversation, Rob appeared to become paranoid about their sit-down, shouting in the scene that Netflix was “gonna manipulate this whole thing into something crazy. I don’t give a f–k.”
“I don’t need to be put in the situation where I have to speak to somebody who I dated in a pod, because I chose Michaella,” he told E!. “It wasn’t anything where I had something specific to say to Diana.”
He added, “It was more respecting Michaella than it was anything else.”

Ultimately, the AI software salesman said the pressure of being on a reality TV show got “so immense” for him, resulting in his breakdowns both at the group mixer and at a bar with friends.
“It’s just a lot of pressure, and I didn’t know how to deal with the pressure,” he explained. “I probably wasn’t in the right mindset going in with some other things I experienced. Not a crutch by any means, but I tried to look past that. And when it came down to it, I just felt like maybe this isn’t for me.”
As he put it, “I didn’t handle it the best, and I just felt like all the pressure just got to me, the filming, and I just cracked.”

After Rob and Michaella broke up and filming wrapped, Rob said he spent 50 days focusing on himself—”no drinks, just work”—and 75 days of “eating right, no cheat meals,” as well as getting therapy and doing cold plunges.
“I acted not in character,” he added of his time on Love Is Blind. “That’s not really who I am. Those couple scenes weren’t who I am. I don’t want to blame production. I don’t want to blame anybody but myself.”
