“Love Is Blind Drama: Ben Mezzenga’s Friend Claps Back at ‘Hired Friend’ Accusations!”
In the ever-enthralling world of Netflix’s “Love Is Blind,” the scandal meter is cranked up to eleven as accusations swirl around Ben Mezzenga. Fans of the show recently hurled some serious shade at Ben, alleging he hired his friends—especially a diverse crew—to boost his image with fiancée Sarah Carton. But hold onto your popcorn! Ben’s pal, Lana Truong, isn’t taking these claims lying down. Her TikTok response was as fiery as some of the show’s juiciest moments. “Not a DEI hired friend!” she declared, alongside a slideshow of old photos with Ben. She even threw in a cheeky jab, “If only I was a paid actor!”
Viewers were particularly skeptical after an episode where Sarah expressed worries that Ben’s religious views could conflict with her liberal perspectives, specifically around LGBTQ+ issues. In a move designed to calm the waters, Ben’s friends—especially Leah and Lana—engaged in some deep convos, which Sarah later critiqued as “forced.” Lana further defended herself by stating, “We definitely have had conversations about politics,” implying a level of substance beneath the theatrics. With viewers suspecting that Ben might have gathered his “support squad” minutes before filming, reactions on TikTok ranged from disbelief to outright mockery. One user penned, “I think he hired this diverse group 20 minutes before filming.” Harsh, right?
Fast forward to Sarah, who recently took to Instagram to affirm her unwavering commitment to equality despite the show’s inherent drama. “Steak. Xbox. Dad bods. & equality, obvi,” she quipped, showcasing that her values remain intact amidst controversies. Meanwhile, as drama unfolds, fans are eagerly awaiting new episodes, set to drop February 28.
But wait, there’s more! As if the Mezzenga saga wasn’t enough, other couples from the franchise are also seeing their relationships crumble. Brittany Wisniewski and Leo Braudy called it quits after realizing their chemistry just wasn’t there, while Monica Davis ended things with Stephen Richardson after discovering some “really kinky” sexts sent to another woman. In this reality-show labyrinth, nothing stays hidden for long!
With accusations flying and love stories faltering, the question remains: will love truly conquer all in “Love Is Blind”? Or are the contestants just playing roles? Grab your snacks and settle in; it’s about to get spicy!
