As more details emerged, Love is Blind fans began to question Tyler's character and intentions. One viewer posted on X,
"I know Ashley feels crazy watching the show back. Tyler literally is lying to her face. #loveisblind"
Another fan expressed stronger sentiments, writing,
“This man lying about his children, not being involved in his children lives, having three kids, not bring it up not one time is a dealbreaker. Ashley needs to leave this man. This man is a complete liar."
As the situation unfolded, many fans expressed support for Ashley and concern for her well-being. A fan shared their thoughts on X, stating,
"Ashley you are too beautiful, intelligent, amazing & phenomenal to be with someone who had the opportunity to tell you in the pods that he had kids. You are too fly to be involved with a clear liar & alleged scammer/deadbeat like Tyler. You deserve better."
