What is the "outside noise" Ben is referring to?

One of the main issues affecting Sara and Ben was a TikTok video that alleged Ben had mistreated women in the past. This topic first surfaced in episode 9 of Love is Blind which released on February 21, 2025.

Sara confronted Ben regarding a TikTok post by a user named Andra Berghoff.

The video did not mention Ben by name but included details that suggested it was about him. When asked about it, Ben confirmed that he had met the woman through Tinder years ago but denied any allegations of mistreatment.

Ben told Sara that he had met the woman through Tinder more than four years ago. He explained that they had gone out a few times but never had a serious relationship.

However, when Sara pressed for further details, he struggled to recall specifics, which led to more questions from her.

"She’s already making up stuff. She was like how I manipulated her and did all these different things. She’s overreacting," Ben said.

Sara had a difficult time processing the situation and expressed concerns about how this could impact their relationship in Love is Blind. She wondered whether she could fully trust Ben’s side of the story. She told him:

"Simple ghosting, if it truly is that, that’s what makes it difficult for me to believe she’s still crying about it."
