Abhishek “Sheik” Chatterjee called Love Is Blind host Nick Lachey a “big t-t” for criticizing his profession as a veterinarian during the second season reunion.
“The reunion is summed up in the photo. You put a doctor on the show… of course you should have seen critical thinking,” Chatterjee, 33, captioned a recently deleted Instagram post on Monday.
“By the way, @nicklachey, you are a big asshole for getting veterans sucked in by your comment. You understand that becoming a veterinarian is much more difficult than becoming a human doctor, right?
During the reunion, which was released on Netflix on Friday, Lachey commented that Chatterjee became a veterinarian because he didn’t know how to treat people.
Chatterjee, who made headlines this season for his “disrespectful” behavior, also got into a heated argument with Nick and Vanessa Lachey over his preference for looks.
“Also consider learning how to be a non-partisan host before the season three reunion airs,” Chatterjee continued. “I’m sorry I didn’t play along with your story like the rest of those puppets. Say hello to @vanessalachey for me.”
Chatterjee later claimed that Instagram removed his original post and doubled down on his comments, saying, “I said what I said.”
None of Lachey has yet commented on Chatterjee’s statement.
The reality TV star got engaged to Deepti Vempati during his time in the pods, but behind her back, he talked about how he wasn’t sexually attracted to her – at one point even comparing her to his “aunt”.
“We talked about how we struggled with the intimate part of our relationship, but it was hard to watch,” Vempati told Page Six. “It was hard [to see] the way he talked about me.”
Even though Vempati did not know the full extent of Chatterjee’s comments tarnishing her appearance, she chose not to marry him and said she deserved better.
The second season of “Love is Blind” is already streaming on Netflix.
