chris love is blind season 10: Bri Details Unseen DMs, Bar Moment with Chris
One of the season’s most talked-about scenes — a late-night bar interaction between castmates — now has more context. Brianna “Breezy” McNees says the exchange with Chris Fusco followed an off-camera conversation in Cabo and a flirty direct message that viewers didn’t see, and her fiancé Connor Spies called Chris’ approach "disrespectful. " The revelations add fresh tension to a season already crowded with tough choices and emotional fallout.
What Bri says happened off-camera
Bri says she and Chris initially ended things on amicable terms while on the Cabo trip, with what she describes as a clean, mutual closure. She expected that to be the end of the matter — a handshake and a friendship — but things shifted once the cast returned home. Bri revealed that Chris reached out to her privately on social media using an account she thought was fake, then followed up in person at a bar scene that made several cast members uncomfortable.
The DM exchange wasn’t included in the edited episodes, but Bri says the messages were flirtatious and, in her words, “slightly inappropriate. ” That private back-and-forth, plus a later one-on-one conversation at the bar, left her surprised. Although they had tried to close their chapter in Cabo, she says Chris’ behavior in the real world caught her off guard and changed her perception of the encounter.
Connor’s reaction and the broader cast fallout
Connor Spies, who is engaged to Bri in the season, described watching the bar moment as difficult. He has known Chris as a friend from the pods, so seeing him pursue Bri after their established understanding felt jarring. Connor acknowledged why someone might want to make a move after reevaluating their choices, but emphasized that Bri is his fiancée and expected that boundary to be respected.
From Connor’s perspective, the manner in which Chris pursued Bri — coming forward shortly after a breakup with his own partner — crossed a line. He used candid language to describe the dynamic, calling the approach disrespectful and noting it was not behavior he had seen before from Chris. The exchange has ripple effects among the cast; trust and friendship lines that formed during the pods are under strain as real-world impulses emerge.
Where this leaves the season and the couples
Producers opted not to air the DM thread, instead showing the bar confrontation that captured the cast reacting in real time. Bri has said she’s unbothered by fans seeing more of her story, insisting she’s shown a lot of herself and stands by how she navigated the chaos. For viewers, the omitted DMs create a sense that there’s more beneath the surface than the episodes fully portray — a reminder that editing shapes the narrative fans consume.
On screen, the fallout already altered relationships: Chris and his partner parted ways, while Bri and Connor remain engaged despite bumps along the way. The season’s later episodes will determine how these tensions resolve or deepen, and whether on-camera aftermaths match the off-camera realities cast members are now explaining. For now, the cast’s interpersonal complications underscore a recurring theme of the series — that moving from a controlled experiment into everyday life quickly exposes unresolved feelings, awkward choices and competing loyalties.
As viewers catch up with the remainder of the season, the newly shared details about the unseen messages and the bar exchange give fans additional context when revisiting the episodes that captured these fraught moments.
