“It was really hard to see it all again,” Sara told Ny Breaking Australia of the huge backlash.
She admitted that reliving her experience has forced her to confront aspects of her behavior that she is not proud of.
She said: ‘It made me feel very sad, especially because of the way I treated Tim. I have so many regrets… It’s like holding a mirror up to a lot of the things I need to work on, on myself and in relationships.”
Reflecting on her actions, Sara expresses regret and a wish to have handled things differently, saying that she would tell Tim about the encounter if she could go back.
Lauren also recently spoke about the controversy surrounding Sara’s meeting with her ex-boyfriend and how it affected their mutual friend Eden.

“I knew Sara was meeting with the ex, Eden knew, I knew nothing had happened and it was honestly no big deal,” she told Ny Breaking Australia.
“But in retrospect I can say that it was very hurtful for Tim to find out how he found out, because lying about something makes someone feel like there is something to hide.”
Reflecting on the aftermath, Lauren commented, “Sara and I discussed this and she now knows for sure that what she did was wrong and it only caused more problems than would have arisen if she had just told him the truth.” ‘
Lauren also expressed her discomfort with how the situation was handled, especially by Eden, who was left between a rock and a hard place.
“I really don’t feel like she really wanted to do it that way and I think that’s what made her so anxious during the retreat,” Lauren said.
