Monica confronts Stephen over "disgusting" text messages in Love is Blind season 7 episode 8

In Love is Blind season 7 episode 8, which aired on October 9, 2024, Monica told Taylor about discovering text messages on Stephen's phone. The two female cast members hugged and cried together, and Taylor assured Monica she didn't deserve it.

After Taylor left, Monica told Stephen his text messages about "fetishes" to another woman were "disgusting." She asked him who he was and why he came on the show. She told him she didn't believe he was at a sleep test the previous night.

"At this point, I don't think there's anything I could say that you would believe," Stephen said.

Monica criticized him for pretending to want to get married. Stephen said he wasn't pretending and admitted to making a "completely stupid mistake." He said he was "drunk at a sleep test" when he texted with the unnamed woman.

"You were doing it today, Stephen. You texted her today," Monica said.

The male Love is Blind season 7 participant said that he didn't recall texting her during the day, and Monica said that the conversation started at night and continued during the day. When he denied it, she asked to see his phone, and Stephen said he had deleted the messages.
