Warning: “Love Is Blind” spoilers ahead. Do not proceed unless you’ve watched all of Season 6.
Sarah Ann Bick admits she felt distressed heading into the Season 6 reunion of “Love Is Blind.”
In an exclusive new interview with Page Six, filmed just hours after Wednesday’s explosive episode, the reality star addressed everything from being put in the hot seat by co-hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey to being called a “pick-me girl” by her fellow female castmates.
“I had a lot of angst walking out on stage, of course. And, just given the situation between Laura [Dadisman] and I, and like you had mentioned, being iced out, I really did feel that way,” Bick told us via Zoom on Thursday.

Bick revealed during the reunion that she has been dating Jeramey Lutinski ever since filming wrapped. Many viewers were floored by the two choosing to couple up so quickly after Lutinski called off his engagement to Laura Dadisman.
“I did feel iced out and kind of bullied throughout the entire show,” she told us.
In spite of this, many people – including her former pod-mates – labeled her a “pick-me girl.” The damaging label has become popular on TikTok to describe a woman who “obsessively desires male approval and validation,” often at the expense of other females.
Bick clapped back when the ladies fired the term at her, claiming Dadisman was actually the one “talking very ill” of her during her pod dates with Lutinski.
“That came from a really deep spot because I was like, ‘[Laura], you in the lounge in the pod days, you were actually talking bad about me in order to get picked,’” she claimed. “I stand by the fact that I never went into a pod and talked ill of another woman because that was not something I wanted to do.”
The female cast seemed to unanimously side with “#TeamLaura” post-filming, which prompted Bick to unfollow them all on social media. The reality star alleged during the reunion that she was “iced out” of a group chat after Jessica Vestal deleted her from the thread.

“I’m like, ‘Well, why do you need to see into my life, into my relationship, if you don’t care for me? If you don’t want me to be your friend, there’s no reason for us to be friends on Facebook or Instagram,” the reality star explained.
“And it’s truly from the female castmates, the bullying and the attacks are from them,” she alleged, noting that she never had bad blood with any of her male co-stars.
Bick confirmed to Page Six that nothing has changed regarding her relationship with the ladies post-reunion. She told us that outside of the show she hasn’t had “any communication with them” for over a year.
“I have a ton of great girlfriends [in real life] so my loyalty is to them. I am a girls’ girl. They’re my girls, and there’s so much support there,” she said, adding that she went on the show to potentially “meet the love” of her life; not friends.
“I don’t have any ill will against any of the women. I think all of them have something special to offer. I think that, you know, it’s really sad the way that this unfolded, but I got what I came for. That’s the reality of it.”
Bick’s castmates previously explained why they isolated her from the group. Vestel said during Wednesday’s reunion that the girls felt like Bick was disrespectful and inconsiderate in the way she went about romancing Lutinski.
Meanwhile, Amber Desiree “AD” Smith called Bick out for not giving Dadisman a proper apology.
Regardless of the heat she’s received from the cast, Bick – who says she has since apologized “10 times over” – told us she has no regrets about DM’ing Lutinski post-pods. She’s happy to have found love on the show, she reiterated, and hopes her now-boyfriend will be her future husband one day.
“We’ve definitely talked about marriage,” she teased. “It’s something that we both are still wanting to do, but we want it to be on our terms.”
Season 6 of “Love Is Blind” is streaming now on Netflix.
