Lauren O’Brien, star of Love Is Blind Season 8, is speaking out about the tension in her relationship with Dave Bettenburg, particularly his fixation on her past hookup.
Fans have rallied behind Lauren, calling for “justice for Lauren” after Dave’s actions became a point of conflict.
Lauren explained in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly that her story is relatable to many women who have been shamed for their past relationships.
Despite the challenges, Lauren felt a strong connection with Dave in the pods and was excited about their future. She described their conversations as serious but fun, saying they were aligned on many things.
The main issue between Lauren and Dave emerged after Lauren’s past hookup became public. Dave, who had received messages about it, became fixated on the situation.
“I didn’t know that this was such a strong voice in his head until a few days after we got back,” Lauren shared.
Although uncomfortable, Lauren acknowledged that her sexual history would be aired on national TV, which was “embarrassing” for her. Fans have largely supported her, reassuring her that she did nothing wrong.
While they are engaged, it remains unclear if Lauren and Dave will marry. Fans will have to wait to see how their relationship unfolds on the show.
