Alex Dillon

Alex Dillon, a 24-year-old from Boston, Massachusetts, garnered significant public attention in January 2019 during her appearance on season 23 of “The Bachelor.” Dillon, who was born and raised in Dennis and attended UMass-Amherst, made a memorable entrance by wearing a full-body sloth costume, humorously signaling her relaxed approach to potential relationships. Prior to her television appearance, she worked as an Associate Account Manager at Collabera, an IT staffing company, a position she held since June. Her distinctive introduction on the show, where she portrayed her alter-ego “Suzette the Sloth,” quickly made her a notable figure, although she was eliminated in the first week.

Following her time on “The Bachelor,” Dillon utilized her newfound public profile to engage in activities related to her “Sloth Girl” persona. In late January 2019, she visited the Franklin Park Zoo, where she had a public meet-and-greet with Molasses, a Linne’s two-toed sloth born at Zoo New England’s Stone Zoo in November 2016. This interaction was documented on her Instagram, where she shared her experience and promoted Zoo New England. This engagement demonstrated her ability to connect with public interests and leverage her unique television presence for broader outreach.

Dillon’s public profile continued to evolve as she embraced her identity as “Sloth Girl.” She was selected as one of the Improper Bostonian’s most eligible singles of 2019, further solidifying her status within local media. Her appearances and social media activity have consistently reflected her engaging personality and her ability to maintain public interest beyond her initial reality television stint.
