Love Is Blind’s Anna Yuan Shuts Down Body-Shamers With a Powerful Message
Love Is Blind Season 9 star Anna Yuan has had enough. After losing 40 pounds, she slams body-shamers and opens up about the toll—and the truth—behind the relentless criticism.
Anna Yuan is done with strangers treating her body like it is open-comment season. The Love Is Blind Season 9 contestant says she has dropped about 40 pounds since filming, and somehow that became an invitation for people to DM her their thoughts. She responded exactly how you hope someone would: directly, and with a little fire.
What set her off this time
After a fresh wave of chatter about her weight, Yuan took to Instagram Stories to remind people that messaging a reality TV contestant about their appearance is not the personality trait they think it is.
Reminder that it is weird as f--- to message a person you do not know to comment about their weight or physical appearance. Please, for the love of God, touch grass!
Also, yes, I have lost about 40 lbs since filming. It is not that deep and, again, you are weird for commenting on it.
She has been saying this for a while
This is not a new stance for Yuan, who is 28. She has dealt with online trolls since the show aired, including people calling her chubby. Earlier this month, on October 2, 2025, she posted a longer note about what that has been like and why it hits a nerve.
Hi friends, reminder that I am human — a human who has devoted her life to a craft to make other women feel beautiful. I have struggled with my weight since I was a little girl. For the first time in my life, I am proud of how healthy I am. I am not a character. I am a real human being just like you. Be kind. Love you all anyway.
Where she stands with the show
Yuan ultimately walked away from Love Is Blind because she did not feel comfortable being vulnerable on camera. That is understandable on its own, and the constant body-shaming swirling around her certainly did not make that easier.
Bottom line: she feels good, she is healthier, and she would like the internet to stop acting like her body is a group project. Touch grass, indeed.
