In the finale of Love Is Blind US season eight, contestant Sara Carton made headlines by rejecting Ben Mezzenga at the altar. Their differing social views, particularly regarding racism and LGBTQ+ issues, led to her decision. Carton explained that Mezzenga's lack of political awareness, especially on matters like Black Lives Matter, was a significant factor in her choice. Despite her emotional connection with him, Carton stated that shared values were essential for a lasting partnership, ultimately leading her to walk away from the relationship.
"I love you so much but I've always wanted a partner to be on the same wavelength. And so today I can't."
"I remember I asked him about Black Lives Matter and I'm no expert, but when I asked him about it, he was like 'I guess I never really thought too much about it'. That affected me."
