Milton has not publicly addressed Deepti and Natalie’s claims. Us Weekly has reached out for remark.
“After I went to go search his profile [to look for a statement], I typed in his title into the Instagram search bar,” Natalie recalled. “It didn’t exist, so I used to be like, ‘Oh, he’s by no means had a profile [and] simply doesn’t have a web based presence.’ I Googled his title to [see] if he stated something [and] his Instagram profile reveals up as the highest search. That’s once I realized, ‘Oh, he blocked us.’”
Deepti jumped in, joking that she was “offended” to get blocked by Milton.

“I stated throughout our season 5 Love Is Blind recaps that I heard Milton was pushed to say ‘I do’ on the altar,” Natalie purported to her pal. “However, since you’re, like, an extension of me, [he must] hate you too. I used to be being sort of coy on the podcast, like, ‘I’ve heard some rumblings [and] there’s some hypothesis. I don’t know who.’ I’ve actually heard it from solid members from the season 5 solid.”
