It was the rumor that ended an engagement: did Javen close a curtain with another woman in a photo booth? This single question led to Katisha’s decision to return her ring and leave the Love Is Blind experiment. At the highly anticipated reunion, hosts Matt and Willis finally unveiled the truth, vindicating Javen—but not without a final dose of drama.
Here’s how the iconic photo booth scandal finally unfolded.
The Accusation That Ended It All
The drama began when Megan revealed to Katisha that Javen had spent a significant amount of time talking with multiple women, including Sophie, on a night out. The most damning piece of evidence? He and Sophie had allegedly gone into a photo booth for a “long chat.”
For Katisha, this was the final straw and the ultimate breach of trust. The implication of a private, closed-off conversation was too much, prompting her to make the heartbreaking decision to leave.
The Reunion Revelation: The Case of the Missing Curtain
At the reunion, Javen finally got his chance to clear his name. The central point of contention was whether the photo booth even had a curtain to close, making the interaction seem secretive and inappropriate.
Co-hosts Matt and Emma Willis settled the debate once and for all by showing a actual picture of the photo booth in question. The verdict? There was no curtain.
Sophie also backed up Javen’s story, confirming that their conversation was not flirtatious. She explained they were actually inside the booth “trying to avoid embarrassment while loudly arguing” about her decision to exit the pods early.
A Divided Room: Was the Booth Itself the Problem?
While Javen was technically vindicated on the curtain detail, Megan stood her ground. For her, the existence of a curtain was “beside the point.”
Her argument remained steadfast: Javen simply shouldn’t have been inside a photo booth with another woman, period. This highlighted a classic reality TV divide—between technical truth and the perception of inappropriate behavior.
In the end, the reunion provided clarity but no real resolution for the fractured couple. Javen got his “I told you so” moment, but it wasn’t enough to undo the hurt that had already occurred.
Who do you agree with? Was Javen in the wrong for going into the booth at all, or was Katisha’s reaction based on faulty information? Let us know in the comments!
