Is Amber 'AD' Desiree being 'fetishized'? Fans call out contestants for 'sexualizing' 'Love is Blind' Season 6 star
CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA: 'Love is Blind' Season 6 star Amber 'AD' Desiree captured attention with her stunning hourglass figure on the show. However, online criticism has emerged, accusing Netflix of allegedly overemphasizing AD's physique more than necessary.
Initially, Amber received compliments on her bikini-ready physique from her fiancé, Clay Gracesande. However, Jeramey Lutinski stirred conversation around AD's body, claiming that Laura Dadisman has asked him to "bean dip" (defined as a term for a touch on the chest) AD.
As the episode unfolded, there were consistent references from AD's partner and other contestants praising her exceptional physique.
Fellow star Jimmy Presnell commented on her body, saying, "That woman is absolutely stacked." These instances made fans believe that she was being 'fetishized' in the Netflix show.
A viewer took to the Reddit thread to ask, "Is AD being fetishized?"
The fan further explained, "Could just me be but I was cringing on a lot of scenes with the group. Yes, I see she is a woman that is comfortable showing her body, but the way her body was a topic of multiple conversations made my brows furrow. It also seemed like the cameras kept catching an unusual amount of backside angles of her."
Another fan said, "The bean dip thing was crazy. Why was that even a joke in the first place? What about that is funny?"
Another commented, "I like AD and yes, I felt so uncomfortable - Megan Fox and her partner were definitely fetishizing AD."
Another said about AD's partner Clay, "He is sexualizing her like crazy though. He said he wouldn't let her get out of shape." "I think WAY too many people were talking about her body. It's completely out of order," wrote another fan.
Amber 'AD' Desiree left uncomfortable with Jeramey Lutinski's insensitive comment
In Episode 6, during the gathering of all the couples, Jeramey confessed to AD that his fiancée, Laura Dadisman, had introduced him to a move known as the 'bean dip,' describing it as a 't***y smack.'
He went on to mention that Laura suggested doing it to AD when they met. AD, taken aback, inquired, "Laura, bean dip?" Jeramey quickly intervened, saying, "She told me to do it, dude. I thought, I'm gonna get in trouble."
Despite AD trying to treat the conversation lightly, it was evident she felt uncomfortable.

When Laura mentioned that she was joking about telling Jeramey to "bean dip" AD, Clay expressed feeling offended. Laura, surprised, questioned, "I offended you? You're making something out of nothing."
Later, 'Love is Blind' star AD discussed the issue with her friend Laura, stating, "It might be funny to us, but to Clay, it's not." She added, "He doesn't understand the joke."
AD, feeling hurt by Jeramey's comments about her body, told Laura, "It might mean nothing to you, but it means something to him," confessing that Jeramey shouldn't have brought up the topic in front of her fiancé, Clay.
The new episodes of 'Love is Blind' Season 6 will be released on Wednesday, February 21 on Netflix.
