Love Is Blind

Love Is Blind contestant Devin Buckley showed immense bravery on Netflix by admitting he is an ibuprofen addict

Alright, let’s talk about Love Is Blind contestant Devin Buckley and his harrowing battle with… ibuprofen.

This is Love Is Blind contestant Devin Buckley

I know…I’m ashamed at myself and the fact that I’m writing about such a ridiculous thing on what’s basically a Philly sports content website. Nobody hates me more than I hate myself but honestly, you can blame the Philadelphia 76ers. It’s late-February and we have nothing to look forward to until the Phillies get up and running.

Cass is over there writing about some college girl breaking up with her girlfriend and calling it his “best work ever.” Times are tough out here, man. Cut me a break, I’m barely holding it together over here.

Anyways, yes, you read the first paragraph correctly. Our guy Devin got emotional on national television while recounting his dark, rock-bottom moment—when he found himself downing 20 ibuprofens a day in high school to deal with back pain.

Look, I’m not here to bash Devin for his soft little Advil addiction. You learn not to do that in rehab, when on one side of you there’s a mother addicted to meth, and on the other, an 18-year-old kid who got caught with a joint because his parents are idiots who thought sending him to in-patient rehab was the move.

Side Note: Congrats to those parents, by the way. Your kid just learned a million other ways to get high.

But yeah, I spent a long amount of time in rehab and came out a better person because of it. That’s why I’m allowed to joke about this topic. I’ve been to hell and back, baby.

Proof This Man Ain’t No Addict

Our guy Devin sat there with a straight face and told the world that when his back started hurting in high school, he thought, “Let me just up my ibuprofen intake” instead of “Hey, maybe I need something stronger.”

That is all the proof I need that Devin was never an addict, ya know?

Try snorting twenty Perc 30s a day, brother. Assuming you could afford that many. Better yet, try not having a Perc 30 and seeing how well you function without one. I promise you, your “I took too many Motrins” story isn’t landing in those circles.

The Internet Thinks Devin Was Covering for a Real Drug Problem

Naturally, people online are speculating that Netflix made Devin water down his story, that maybe he was actually hooked on prescription painkillers but the show wouldn’t let him say it.

Love Is Blind, But I’m Not…

Not buying the “dumb down” theory. For one, Love Is Blind isn’t exactly a family-friendly show. They talk about sex, trauma, and bad decisions like, you know, getting married after talking to someone else through a screen for a few days.

If Netflix was okay with that one guy admitting he went into credit card debt buying a stripper a Louis Vuitton bag, I think they’d be fine with Devin saying he was hooked on Vicodin.

I’m pretty sure he really just thought he was a full-blown addict because he overdid it on ibuprofen which honestly might be the funniest part of it all.

Final Thoughts: Devin, You Have My Support (But You Were Not a Drug Addict, Brother)

Devin, if you ever read this—DMs are open, my guy.

I’m not saying you didn’t go through something really difficult, and I respect the fact that you’re out here trying to own your past. But for your own sake, maybe stop telling people you had an ibuprofen problem.

Because the only thing you were truly addicted to was trusting the medical system too much. Now drop down and read me 50 Serenity Prayers.
