At the Love Is Blind Season 11 reunion, John said that his marriage to Sarah ended because of a "major breach of trust." Fellow cast member Scott, who was sitting in the audience, took a stand for John. He also questioned why nobody was talking about Sarah going out multiple times a week. His comments led to angry reactions from the cast onstage and people online.

Talking about his reaction in a recent Instagram video, Love Is Blind's Scott said that he wants to clarify a couple of things, adding that he did not support John's actions. He then apologized to Sarah, saying that he should not have spoken about her or her relationship with John because it was not his place to do so. Scott continued:

"Now that being said, I'm a Christian, and I do believe in forgiveness, and John has publicly and privately apologized to Sarah, her family, and her friends. And on top of that, he has held himself accountable on one of the world's biggest stages, so after witnessing that and then watching him get torn apart for several hours, that was tough to watch, as John's a really good friend of mine. So I felt I had to say something. And I hope you guys understand where I was coming from."

Scott once again brought up his Christian faith, saying that he believes in forgiveness and explaining why he felt the need to speak up for John.

Love Is Blind's Scott comes forward after facing backlash over reunion comments

In Love Is Blind Season 11, Sarah and John were the only couple to get married in the season. In the Love Is Blind reunion episode, John revealed that he and Sarah were no longer together, explaining that it's his fault. John revealed that he had gone out with his friends one night and later texted someone he met there. He said Sarah found the messages and felt they were not appropriate for him to send as her husband. This was what led to the breakdown of their marriage.

Towards the end of the reunion, John's father was also asked if he had any advice to share. He said he was surprised that the other men were not standing up for John. He added that men sometimes go out, drink too much, and make bad choices. He described that night as one on which John had been drinking and made a mistake. John then signaled to his father to stop. John later said there was nothing to defend.

Soon after, Scott came forward to defend John, calling him "a good man." He said he was getting emotional because he cared about John. Scott also mentioned that John had brought his Bible to breakfast and prayed for everyone who was about to get engaged. He then brought up Sarah, questioning why nobody talked about her going out with her friends three times a week. However, others onstage quickly spoke up against Scott's comments, leading to a heated exchange before the hosts moved on.

In a recent Instagram video, Scott explained why he spoke up for John and responded to the criticism he received after the reunion. He said he did not support John's actions but felt bad watching his friend face criticism. He also apologized to Sarah for speaking about her and her marriage.
