Abstract: We show that for any type ${\rm III_1}$ free Araki-Woods factor $\mathcal{M} = \Gamma(H_{\mathbf{R}}, U_t)''$ , the bicentralizer of the free quasi-free state $\varphi_U$ is trivial. Using Haagerup's Theorem, it follows that there always exists a faithful normal state $\psi$ on $\mathcal{M}$ such that $(\mathcal{M}^\psi)' \cap \mathcal{M} = \mathbf{C}$ .
