Micah Lussier, a participant on Love Is Blind, is standing up for her close friend Shelby despite her critical remarks about Paul Peden throughout the fourth season. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 27-year-old marketing manager reveals that her bond with Shelby remains strong, even in light of her friend’s opinions about her former fiancé.
Micah describes Shelby as someone who never takes things lightly and doesn’t hold back in expressing her thoughts. However, Micah emphasizes that Shelby is not only her close friend but also like a sister to her. Micah believes that Shelby’s actions were driven purely by love and a desire to protect her from getting hurt. Over the years, Shelby has been a constant source of support through Micah’s heartbreaks, and she was determined to prevent her from experiencing it again.
While Micah acknowledges that she had to consider Shelby’s words with caution since Shelby wasn’t aware of the entirety of their story, she appreciates the honesty and concern behind her friend’s intentions.

In the realm of Love Is Blind, Micah found himself in a bit of a predicament with his significant other, Paul. Shelby, his friend, didn’t hold back when it came to expressing her doubts about their whirlwind romance that blossomed on the popular Netflix series. The tension between Shelby and Paul kicked off when she interrogated him at her own birthday party, trying to gauge just how serious he was about Micah.

To add fuel to the fire, Shelby playfully mocked Paul’s “articulate manner” of expressing his emotions for Micah. In a lighthearted moment, Paul joked that Shelby’s friends would likely make fun of him, unaware of the significance of getting her approval. Shelby swiftly warned Paul that she had a tendency to get angry and cautioned him against making disrespectful comments.

In response, Micah lightened the mood by humorously informing Paul about Shelby’s easily triggered temper. However, Paul seemed indifferent about the importance of gaining Shelby’s support, stating that he didn’t really care about it.

On her wedding day, Micah was seen with her bridesmaids, capturing a joyful moment. According to Micah, she was never really interested in the guy she rejected after their time in the pod. She described herself as being flirty but not genuinely invested in him. However, Micah was not pleased with his reaction when she expressed her disinterest. She advised him not to have such a negative attitude, emphasizing the importance of caring about how she feels.

During an emotional conversation, Micah’s friend Shelby shared her opinion that the couple was not a good match. Wiping away tears, Shelby expressed her belief that Micah deserved something more spectacular and beautiful. In her eyes, Micah deserved the best wedding and a life filled with amazing experiences.

In a confessional, Shelby explained her protective nature towards Micah. As her closest friend, Shelby always had a skeptical mindset when it came to Micah’s relationships. She felt the need for more assurance that Micah was making the right choice.

In the fourth season of Love Is Blind, Micah’s friend Shelby voiced her doubts about Paul’s love for Micah. She believed that Paul’s love was not enough and questioned if Micah truly knew him after only two months. Despite her reservations, Shelby promised to support Micah and their relationship. However, on their wedding day, Shelby continued to express her disapproval through snarky remarks. Ultimately, Paul decided not to marry Micah, leaving her in tears. Interestingly, Shelby sat in the crowd with a smile, admitting that she was relieved that things turned out the way she wanted. After the wedding, Micah explained that she wanted Paul to answer first so that he could give an honest response based on his own feelings and not feel pressured to say yes. She feared that if she said yes first, Paul would feel obligated to follow suit. In the end, Paul’s answer was no, and Micah respected his decision. Love Is Blind season 4 is now available for streaming on Netflix, and a live reunion special will air on April 16th.
