  • But in episode nine, Sara starts to have doubts after finding a TikTok, which Ben thinks is about him.
  • Here's what to know about the video and the surrounding drama.

Warning: spoilers ahead for the first nine episodes of "Love Is Blind" season eight.

"Love Is Blind" season eight contestant Ben gets into hot water with his fiancée Sara in episode nine after she finds a TikTok of a woman calling a contestant that fits his description a "shitty" person.

Sara says the video features a woman crying and saying she's tired of reality TV "celebrating shitty men," after seeing the "Love Is Blind" cast for the Minneapolis season. The video is blurred out on the show.

When Sara asks Ben about it, he says he thinks the video is about him.

"I haven't talked to her in over four years," Ben tells Sara. "She's already making stuff up. She was like, how I manipulated and did all these different things."

Ben says he met the woman on Tinder, and they dated for a few weeks, but he ghosted her before the relationship progressed. He adds that he doesn't remember anything else about what happened or what he did to hurt her.

But Sara is not convinced, and after further interrogation, Ben says that he may have messaged her since they stopped dating but never initiated the conversation.

Before the teaser for next week's episode plays, Sara tells Ben that she trusts him but asks him for the full story.

"I'm telling you now, if more comes out of this, if I find out there's anything at all, I won't be able to trust you," she says.

This is not the first time social media drama has shaped storylines on the show, though this normally happens after the season has aired. However, more viewers sleuthing over cast members has led to drama bubbling off-screen in recent seasons.

The TikTok video appears to have been shared last March

Over the past month, multiple TikTok users have criticized the men on season eight, without specifying who they are talking about. Business Insider has not verified the videos, which were published too late to be the one Sara saw in episode nine.

Last March, MPR News, a Minneapolis-based news organization, shared a TikTok video in which a reporter said the series was being filmed and asked locals where they'd spotted the filming crew.

Netflix has not confirmed when "Love Is Blind" season eight was filmed.

On March 2, 2024, Andra Berghoff, a TikTok user who uses the handle @hopeyoufindyourdad, posted a video that fits the description of the video Sara saw.

@Andra you think your dating life is hard? I’m calling out love is blind for this one #loveisblind #netflix #dating #minnesota ♬ original sound - Andra

In the video, Berghoff appears teary-eyed while recalling how she recognized someone from a leaked list of cast members.

"I'm just exhausted and tired of society rewarding shitty men who treat women terribly and manipulate and lie all the time," Berghoff said.

In a video posted two days later, Berghoff said the man, who she doesn't name, blocked her after she posted the video. She didn't explain what happened between them, but said he was a lot older than her, manipulated her, and "shaped the way I viewed men and dating going forward."

@Andra is there a point in which boys and dating ever get better? I’m starting to doubt it #dating #loveisblind #netflix #minnesota ♬ original sound - Andra

Berghoff said she believed he was on the show for fame.

Ben says in episode nine that he blocked the unnamed woman after seeing the TikTok video, in case she tried to expose him.

In January, after the cast list was released, Berghoff shared a third video in which she criticized Netflix for not removing the man.

In the video, Berghoff added that he went to the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis, was a member of the college's baseball team, and became a real-estate agent after college.

This lines up with details of Ben's life on his LinkedIn account.

Berghoff has not confirmed that the videos are about Ben, and Ben has not commented on them.

Business Insider has contacted Ben, Sara, Berghoff, and Netflix for comment.
