‘Love Is Blind’ alum Sarah Ann details ‘really ugly’ split from Jeramey
“Love Is Blind” alum Sarah Ann Bick is peeling back the curtain on her “really ugly” split from fellow season 6 star Jeramey Lutinski — a breakup the villains largely blame on backlash from viewers.
The 30-year-old explained the deterioration of their relationship in a lengthy Instagram Reel posted earlier this week, in which she said the breakup was in no way amicable.
“If you want me to be blatantly honest, it was ugly. It ended really ugly,” Sarah Ann said. “It’s important to note that Jeramey and I fought really really hard for our relationship. We wanted it to work. It gets to a point where you have to take a step back and realize that some things are just not meant to be.”
She explained that things were “pretty normal, chill” prior to filming the Netflix hit’s reunion in February, to which Jeramey “did not want to go.”
But after the reunion — where the pair caught heat for how their connection was handled — “s–t got real” for the reality personalities, who by then “were not getting along.” Sarah Ann attributed the sea change to “a lot of the pressure and a lot of the things being said about us on the internet.”
This led to “a lot of resentment on both sides,” she said, adding that the couple was “handling it and navigating it in the best way we knew how.”
“When you’re alone in that with your partner … and they’re the only person you have, it’s easy to start to blame them,” she said, but insisted the breakup was “in no way one person’s fault.”
She did, however, place some of the blame on “the hatred and the social media,” which she said impacted their relationship “greatly.”
Sarah Ann and Jeramey hit it off in the “Love Is Blind” pods, but it was Laura Dadisman to whom he ultimately proposed. Their short-lived engagement was upended when Laura accused Jeramey of stepping out on her with Sarah Ann, a claim the latter two denied.
Sarah Ann and Jeramey were promptly ousted by their “pod squad” and revealed at the reunion they were living together, further infuriating castmates and viewers alike.
“Love Is Blind” season 7 is currently streaming on Netflix.
