Love is Blind’s Sara Reacts to That ‘Under the Bus’ Reunion Moment

Sara Carton Addresses Her Bumpy Relationship with Ben Mezzenga

Sara Carton recently found humor in the tension between her and ex Ben Mezzenga during the Love Is Blind reunion. She shared a meme on Instagram Stories that captured the awkward moment, where Ben stated he didn’t want to "throw anyone under the bus," while Sara was depicted playfully tossing a baby in the air. The meme, created by @thebitchelorette, highlighted her lighthearted take on the situation, and Sara approved it with eight laughing emojis. This exchange showcased her ability to find humor in the drama, reflecting her resilience as she moves on from their relationship.

The Fallout of Their Relationship

During the reunion episode, Sara and Ben revisited the end of their relationship, which started after their decision not to get married on the show. They briefly tried dating and even lived together for a short period. Sara claimed Ben agreed to move to Nashville with her but didn’t follow through. She also mentioned that he removed her from Find My Friends and ended things with "three very scripted apologies." However, Ben maintained that they had discussed breaking up before Sara left for Nashville, a claim Sara disputes, saying she still believed their plans were intact.

Ben’s Attempts to Reconcile

Weeks after their breakup, Ben reached out to Sara in an effort to mend their relationship, reportedly on the advice of Love Is Blind season 6’s Jimmy Presnell. Ben didn’t name Jimmy but admitted that he had been counseled to connect with Sara before the reunion and prepare scripted responses. Sara revealed Jimmy’s involvement, expressing her distrust of Ben, especially in light of TikTok allegations against him. This distrust was a significant factor in her decision not to marry him.

The Impact of Social Media Allegations

Sara’s decision to reject Ben at the altar was heavily influenced by a TikTok video accusing him of mistreating an ex. While she initially tried to move past it, the video raised serious concerns about Ben’s character. She explained to Us Weekly that the video made her question his trustworthiness, a sentiment shared by her family. Additionally, a post surfaced alleging that Ben had given business cards for his YouTube channel to past flings, further complicating her view of him.

Sara’s Internal Struggles and Decisions

Sara revealed that she received a picture of Ben’s YouTube card five days before the wedding, which added to her doubts. Despite this, she chose not to confront Ben, feeling overwhelmed by the accumulated concerns. She kept her worries private, recognizing that she couldn’t handle more stress before the wedding. This accumulation of red flags ultimately solidified her decision to end the relationship, as she realized Ben might not be the genuine partner she hoped for.

Moving Forward with Clarity

In the end, Sara’s experiences have provided her with clarity. She acknowledged that Ben’s actions and the surrounding allegations led her to a necessary conclusion. Her ability to find humor in the situation, as seen with the meme, highlights her strength and readiness to move forward. Sara’s journey on Love Is Blind has been one of self-discovery, emphasizing the importance of trust and genuine connection in relationships.
