The Bachelorette Becca Kufrin Thinks She Had an 'Amazing' Group of Guys, Despite Controversies


When ABC announced that Becca Kufrin would be the next Bachelorette, Bachelor Nation was ecstatic, to put it mildly. We all watched as Arie Luyendyk Jr. cruelly dumped her on national TV—a breakup so infamous even Saturday Night Live parodied it—so who more deserving? Fans were rooting for this Bachelorette to find the love of her life—and, according to Kufrin, she did: She’s been engaged to the winner of her final rose since taping ended in early May.

But after Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette premiered, startling truths about some of her suitors came to light. Most notably, Lincoln Adim’s conviction of indecent assault and battery. And then there’s front-runner Garrett Yrigoyen, who admitted to liking several bigoted memes on Instagram.

For the most part, though, Kufrin hasn’t had much to say about these controversies. She’s remained silent on Adim’s conviction. When asked about Yrigoyen’s social media history, she told E! News that “everyone is entitled to their own opinions, and…I would hope people would stay open and respect me but also stay open and respect these 28 guys that went along on the journey with me.”

Of course, as the season comes to a close, Kufrin is aware that she’ll have to answer tough questions. Following the taping of Men Tell All (which airs Monday, July 30), she sat down with Glamour to talk about her experience with Adim and more. Read on.

It’s been two months since you announced you’re engaged. How has your relationship with your fiancé changed since then?

Becca Kufrin: It’s just grown exponentially. We’ve just learned so much more about each other, and it’s just grown so much. I’m even happier.

Throughout this season you kept saying what a great group of guys you had, but certain things have come to light that we didn’t know about. Do you still stand by that?

Becca: I still stand by what I said, and I still think those guys are amazing. And you know, yes, some relationships were a lot stronger. I learned a lot more about each guy and each relationship, but I respect all of them and wish them all the happiness in the world.

Lincoln wasn’t at the Men Tell All taping, nor was he mentioned. Now that we know his history, did you ever feel unsafe with him on the show?

Becca: No. I’m always surrounded by people. There’s a lot of bodies around, and I never felt unsafe. He always treated me with respect. So, yeah…

Once the fantasy suite dates come around, you get more time alone to talk about important topics with the remaining guys. Do you talk about politics and social issues, and where they stand?

Becca: Oh yeah, we talked about everything. I felt like whether it was on camera or off camera, I didn’t hold anything back. I don’t think the guys [held] anything back either. So any questions we had were brought up.

In Monday’s episode you said that you’re in love with two guys. How do you know you made the right choice?

Becca: You know, it’s something unexplainable. It’s just something I felt in my heart. All of the guys were amazing, but [I had to think about] what one would last a lifetime and what one would make me happy when I’m 30 or 45 or 70 or 90. It was just something that I felt, and I had to follow that.

Looking back, who would you have kept around longer? Who would you have eliminated sooner?

Becca: Oh man. I mean…Grocery Store Joe is amazing. I actually bumped into him in Chicago, and he’s great. Trent wasn’t at Men Tell All, but he was a guy who was so funny and always kept me laughing those first few weeks. That being said, I think I made the right choice week by week and did what was right for me.

*The Bachelorette* Season 14 Episode 9 Recap: Tears, Thailand, and Fantasy Suites


It’s fantasy suite time, Bachelorette fans, and you know what that means: deep talks, crying, and implied sex! Your regular recapper, Anna Moeslein, is still living her best life on vacation, so you have me for one more week!

Here’s what happened on tonight’s episode:

We’re in Thailand! Becca’s looking gorgeous, as always. She says Thailand’s one of the most “romantic” places she’s been to, which seems accurate—especially when you compare it to Richmond, Virginia, where they went a few weeks ago. Thailand > Richmond, Virginia any day of the week.

Becca says she’s “in love” with two men and “falling in love” with a third. Those first two are clearly Blake and Garrett. The third is Jason, which probably means shit’s about to go down with him tonight. Becca keeps talking about how obsessed she is with Garrett, so here’s a quick, little reminder about those bigoted Instagram posts he “liked” a few months back. Remember those? Because I sure do!

Blake, my favorite of the three, has the first date of the episode. He’s looking like a damn snack in that V-neck shirt, which Becca obviously realizes because she jumps on him like a spider monkey.

Blake and Becca go hiking on their date, which is 10 times worse than that tractor-tomato excursion from last week. Also, they can’t kiss and touch on this hike—a funny caveat seeing as how Blake says, “I can’t wait to kiss and touch” Becca before meeting her. My roommate and I clocked four times where they nudged bodies, ergo breaking the rules.

They then hang out with some monks. Blake doesn’t close his eyes when he’s suppose to close his eyes. He says he’s really taking in the “wisdom” from “this monk,” but something tells me he’s just thinking about making out with Becca. Justice for “this monk!” Becca and Blake nudge/break the rules again.

At dinner that night, Becca tells Blake it just keeps getting “better and better” with him and that she’s scared a bomb’s going to drop. (Apparently, Garrett’s Instagram “likes” aren’t bombs? There’s your second friendly reminder!) Blake says he’s falling in love with Becca and he can no longer ignore the fact she may have stronger connections with the other guys. Um…is he just now realizing this? Has he ever watched The Bachelorette? Becca doesn’t really do anything to ease his anxieties, either. She just talks about Arie. Stop talking about Arie!

This is the longest conversation on the planet. Blake says he’s not afraid to commit to Becca. “I’m the type of man who’s looking for a reason to stay, not a reason to go,” he says, literally, like he’s in some bad Matthew McConaughey rom-com. The line does the trick, though: Blake and Becca go to the fantasy suite. Sidebar: It looks so friggin’ humid where they are. I’m getting aggressive sweat stains on my shirt just looking at this weather.

Becca and Blake wake up in bed together and kiss. “I had so much fun last night,” Blake says, which for some reason makes me audibly cackle. Like…what a thing to say after the fantasy suite. They whisper some inaudible shit, and Becca says Blake is “in his head” today. He says he doesn’t want this to be the last time he wakes up with Becca. I…don’t think Blake knows how The Bachelorette works. Becca asks if there’s anything she can do to ease his nervousness, but the answer to that is clear: Pick Blake. My God, please pick Blake. He’s the only one left who 1) has good hair, and 2) isn’t a bigoted Instagram post liker. (And there, my friends, is your third friendly reminder.)

Date number two is Jason and his slicked-back hair. He’s wearing mint-green shorts: a plus, because that’s my favorite color. They go to the Sunday Market and explore, which actually sounds like a fun date. There’s no hiking or tractors involved! Jason’s consistently had the best dates.

And he’s so interesting, too. He’s actually taking in the Thailand sights and has genuine opinions. He’s so funny and breezy and charming—I hate that Becca would rather hang out with Garrett. Becca makes some comment about “the future”; she then immediately wants to take it back, though, because she says she can’t picture a future with Jason. She has a little meltdown about it—like, they film Becca putting her hair up in a ponytail (!!!) and talking to a producer (!!!). A Bachelorette with her hair up and a producer shown on camera?! The scandal of it all! Jason’s sweating, which is relatable.

Jason’s all in with Becca, and it’s beyond clear she’s not. You can see it in her eyes, and she barely says anything as Jason gushes on and on about her. Oof. This is actually devastating. Becca starts relaying the story to Jason about making a comment about the “future,” but she has to excuse herself. She realizes she sees a future with Garrett and Blake, but not Jason. Heartbreaking, but not surprising.

There’s a lot of heavy, nervous breathing and whispering. Becca then tells Jason how she’s feeling: that she sees more of a future with Blake and Garrett and she can’t put him through an overnight. Jason’s understanding, but of course sad. Jason says he came into this rooting for her happiness and that he’ll always root for her happiness, so he’s an actual angel. I can’t believe she’s kicking him out and keeping Garrett Bigoted Instagram Posts Yrigoyen!!!!!! Where the hell is the justice? In an odd twist, though, Jason’s never looked hotter to me than he does after getting dumped.

Becca’s now sobbing and saying, “What did I just do?” “What am I doing?” Uh, you’re dumping a dude on national television, that’s what! You’re on The Bachelorette! You are The Bachelorette. This is your job! Becca says Jason is one of the best guys she’s ever known and thinks she’s doing to him what Arie did to her. No comment on that.

Becca spends her morning crying and staring wistfully in her hotel room over Jason, but she can’t stay sad for long because Garett’s date is next. Whoopee! She jumps on Garrett, again, like a spider monkey when she sees him. That move is becoming her signature more than, “Let’s do the damn thing.” Their peaceful rafting date turns into a bit of a rager because there’s a Thai national holiday happening on the river. I’m so bored with them. They drink beers. Garrett’s shirt is annoying the crap out of me. He babbles on and on about his hometown date, and I only half listen. Becca wants to know if Garrett’s falling in love with him, which he obviously is. Blah blah blah, remember Garrett’s Instagrams, blah blah blah.

LOL, Becca makes some heavy-handed metaphor about how navigating the river today is like navigating a relationship. I’m so over them as a couple, which sucks because Garrett’s clearly a front-runner. Garrett says he’s worried about getting engaged and having it not work out—remember he was married once—and Becca stares at him blankly in response. Oh, and she says “yeah.” Becca eventually says she only wants Garrett to say things if he means them, and that they both know the gravity of this situation. Their chat ends with Garrett saying she’s in love with Becca, but whether or not this was a forced/manipulated confession is up in the air. His admission came after a super pointed conversation about love. But who cares about that? They go to the fantasy suite! (An aside from my roommate about this date: “I can’t wait for this shit to be over so we can watch Love Island.)

Garrett and Becca wake up to the sound of the rain. They kiss and say some lovey-dovey nonsense. I can’t with the fact their fantasy suite was in a literal tree house. Blake got a dope-ass suite! Becca blows Garrett a kiss goodbye. Garrett attempts to do the same and fails. He did, like, some bizarre drunk chef’s kiss instead. Garrett can’t blow kisses, apparently.

But plot twist: Jason comes back to Becca to talk about what happened. He starts opening up to Becca about the situation and holds back tears. He says his love for Becca is genuine. She straight-up admits to blindsiding Jason and compares herself to Arie. Even still, she doesn’t, like, take back what happened the before and says Jason deserves to find love. Insult to injury: Jason made Becca a damn scrapbook of all their good times together and gives it to her. All Becca says is some empty quote about how Jason’s an amazing man and that she’ll “look at [the scrapbook] later.” Ice cold! She sends him on his merry way, and starts looking at the scrapbook. Again, it changes nothing.

There’s a final rose ceremony (???) even though Jason’s gone, so this is just performative because Blake and Garrett are each getting roses. So, so, so dumb.

Becca explains the Jason situation to Blake and Garrett, and they just make doofy faces in response. I’m so annoyed. Garrett accepts his rose. Blake accepts his rose. I miss Jason. Heck, I miss Joe the Grocery Store Owner. Garrett makes some weird chest-puffing speech about how he’s excited to meet Becca’s parents right in front of Blake. Blake squints his eyes and says to himself over and over that Garrett and Becca don’t have what they have. I just want to give him a glass of wine. Anyway, they’re now going to the Maldives, and the dudes are going to meet Becca’s fam.

Next week: Men Tell All! Fingers crossed Chris Harrison asks Garrett about his bigoted Instagram posts! And then the finale! Becca cries and calls herself a “monster!”

*The Bachelorette* Season 14 Episode 8 Recap: Hometowns Bring the Drama


Ahhh, hometowns. It’s one of the most awkward (and amazing) episodes of The Bachelorette every season, and it’s finally here. Unfortunately, your normal, hilarious recapper, Anna Moeslein, is living her best life on vacation right now, so I’m stepping in this week. I’m not sure I’ll be as funny, but I promise to throw plenty of shade at the men—because, let’s face it, all the good ones are gone, anyway.

Here’s what happened tonight:

Becca’s walking in some random field looking fabulous. Oh, it’s a random field in Garrett’s hometown. Truthfully, I’m already over this hometown given Garett’s problematic Instagram activity. Like, he could perform a rendition of “Ray of Light” by Madonna on this hometown date, and he still wouldn’t win me over.

But this hometown date isn’t going to be nearly that fun. They’re planting tomatoes on some farm. This is my worst nightmare. I’m sweating just watching this. They’re driving what I think is a….tractor? Becca says she’s into this and would go out on a farm with a beer and plant tomatoes. Again, this all sounds like my personal hell. They kiss on the tractor. They plant rose bushes. Don’t these people need a water break? I would’ve needed a water break 10 minutes into this nonsense.

The last woman Garrett brought home was his wife, whom he divorced over two years ago, so this hometown date is a big deal. Good thing it’s happening on national television! Now Garrett’s talking about why he and his ex-wife didn’t work, and I don’t really care. Remember his Instagram likes? I’m still thinking about them! He says he and Becca align, which I agree with only because they’re both physically attractive humans. That’s the…only similarity I see.

Garett’s father looks exactly like him. Garrett’s brother looks exactly like him. Garrett’s sister seems cool, and she’s the person who pulls Garrett aside first. He says he’s happy with Becca, but the sister has concerns given the entire ex-wife situation. I mean, fair.

The dad has his concerns, too. Becca wants to know if Garrett’s fully healed from his divorce and ready for an engagement, which, like, who knows? This is a TV show! Garrett’s known Becca for a few weeks! All I can think about is how bomb Becca looks in this purple floral romper.

Garrett’s mom isn’t pulling any punches, and she’s instantly my favorite person in this family. I’m living for her bob and her bangs and her no-bullshit attitude. Becca seems to win Garrett’s mom over, which isn’t surprising because Becca’s the best. Garrett’s love for Becca seems pure and real, and his mom seems to be on board with that. Honestly, I want a talk show hosted by Becca and Garett’s mom. All I want is to watch them talk shit for two straight hours.

Anyway, the hometown date ends. Garrett and Becca kiss. Becca seems happy. Yay!

We’re in Buffalo now for Jason’s hometown date. I like Jason, but I don’t like his hair. I also don’t like the fact that he’s saying “damn” every other sentence. Does he not know any other filler words?

Their date is way more my speed. They sit down and eat a bunch of chicken wings and then make out. That’s my ideal situation with another man.

But then, OMG, they go ice-skating, which is 2,000 percent something I’d hate. I attempted to go ice-skating one time and busted out crying because I couldn’t find skates that fit. Jason’s scarf is cute, though, which gives him brownie points. They kiss on the ice rink, which requires so much coordination.

Wait, wait, wait: Jason’s brother is gay and in a relationship and this instantly makes me like him way better. His brother’s name is Steven and his boyfriend is Bill and I now no longer care about Jason and Becca. Come through, homosexuality on a primetime episode of The Bachelorette! My gay self is squealing.

Update: Jason says damn another 40,000 times. He pulls his dad aside and says he’s falling for Becca. His dad is basically, like, “Whoa, chill, you’re on a TV show.” Jason’s mom has fabulous hair, and it’s full of secrets about how Jason is guarded and can’t commit. She can’t read whether or not Becca is falling for him, which, duh. It’s beyond clear Becca’s obsessed with Garrett and the other guys are kinda just…there.

Wow, wow, wow: Jason’s talking to his brother and husband about Becca, and this is the greatest scene of The Bachelorette in history. Thank God this straight-ass show is being fueled with some homosexual energy. Steven basically tells Jason to get his shit together and decide how he feels about Becca. Where is Steven’s podcast?

Jason tells Becca that he’s in love with her. His speech is insanely long and sounds like something out of a romantic comedy. They kiss. I think it’s legit, but honestly who TF knows? If Jason had better hair I probably wouldn’t be questioning the authenticity of his speech.

Blake lives in a very snowy place. He’s the cutest one here, in my humble opinion, and he’s even cuter wearing this jacket surrounded by snow. Update: Bailey, Colorado is the name of this town. (Sorry, I didn’t get that before because I was pouring myself a glass of wine.)

They go to Blake’s high school for their date, which is a Bachelor staple and something I’ve never understood. Maybe I’d understand it more if I was a popular, hot jock in high school, like Blake and all these people probably were. Blake says he wants Becca to see the man he is, so his go-to move is bringing her to his…high school? I wore cargo shorts in high school and was the lead in a musical even though I can’t sing. I’d never want to go back there.

Blake reveals to Becca that there was a shooting at his high school during his senior year, and it changed his outlook on life. He now views life as a gift and doesn’t take a second for granted. They have a poignant chat about this, kiss, and move on. It’s moving and serious, and that’s all I’m going to say.

But then, Blake takes Becca into an auditorium and Betty Who is there giving a surprise performance. I love Betty Who. What a gay icon! This is such a gay-friendly episode of The Bachelorette, and I’m thrilled. Becca says Betty Who is her “favorite singer,” but I don’t know if I believe that. I…don’t know if she had heard of Betty Who before this episode of The Bachelorette.

Blake’s family is lovely, especially his mother. Her hair is also phenomenal. When Blake says he’s falling in love with Becca, his mom says, “That’s crazy,” which is the greatest thing she could say. Because it’s true! This is all crazy! Blake’s mom thinks Becca is the one for him, but is afraid Becca will break his heart. His father feels similarly, and is basically like, “Yo, there’s a chance you’re ‘gonna get dumped, son.” Yes, dad! Bring down the reality hammer! Blake’s mom is very, very protective of him, which is sweet but also ,like, a little aggressive. He’s an adult man. He’ll be fine, no matter what happens.

They kiss in the snow and Becca thanks Blake for the date and the Betty Who surprise. I’m so glad Betty Who received some national promo, because she’s a bop queen.

The last hometown date of the evening is Colton’s in Parker, Colorado. Remember, Colton told Becca last week he’s a virgin, which the show tried to make a bigger deal than it is. I mean, come on. He’s a virgin! It’s not like he’s a serial killer or has Jason’s hair.

Colton takes Becca to the children’s hospital, where they visit kids who have cystic fibrosis. Colton has a nonprofit organization dedicated to this, and the date is understandably tender. I have nothing snarky to say about it. Colton looks uncomfortably hot, as per usual.

Colton has never brought a woman home before, so the stakes are pretty high tonight. Becca’s scared because Colton’s only been in one serious relationship before. I’m scared because, at some point, we know Tia’s going to show up in this episode and fuck shit up. More on that later.

Colton has 18 people waiting for Becca at his house. That’s so overwhelming, even for someone as friendly and wonderful as Becca. Anyway, I love the off-the-shoulder shirt Becca’s wearing tonight. Meghan Markle would 100 percent wear it. Also, I have a crush on Colton’s dad.

Colton’s dad has a serious talk with his son about if he’s ready for an engagement. Also, he brings up Tia, because that was some capital-D drama. Then, Colton’s dad brings Tia up to Becca, and Becca says she’s cool with the whole situation, even though I’m not sure that’s the case? Colton’s dad literally tells Becca not to pick him if she isn’t 100 percent sure he’s the one. He even brings up Arie! He’s asking the hard questions!

As is Colton’s mom. She’s shocked that Colton is so in love with Becca. I would be, too. Becca asks her about Colton’s virginity, and I’m uncomfortable. She basically wants to know if Colton will commit to her even though he has a lack of experience, and his mom says that’s a possibility. It’s a kind conversation. Colton’s family is kind!

Colton then tells Becca he’s in love with her, but it’s clear she’s not fully there with him. I mean, she’s made it very clear she’s in love with Blake and in love with Garrett, but the heat with Colton ins’t on the same level. I’m available, though, Colton.

Praise be: Becca’s now reunited with Tia, Bekah M., Kendall, Sienne, and Caroline. They’re drinking mimosas and talking about Becca’s hometown dates and I wish I was a part of their squad. When Becca brings up Colton, Tia’s face immediately changes, so you know shit’s about to go down.

Yup, shit happens: Tia essentially admits to Becca she still has feelings for Colton, which obviously throws a wrench in Becca’s decision-making. Remember: Tia went on a date with Colton in January, and that made Becca pause. She was under the impression Tia was over Colton; however, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Tia says that seeing Colton go this far with Becca makes her “sick to her stomach.” Oof.

Becca’s totally blindsided by this, and she doesn’t know what to do going into the rose ceremony. Try as the editing team might, though, I think it’s pretty clear Colton’s going home. Blake’s wearing a bowtie, which further confirms he’s my favorite. Colton asks Chris Harrison about the expectations for the fantasy suite, which is a hilarious and awkward conversation to have.

Becca walks in looking gorgeous in a sparkly black dress, as she’s apt to do. I want to wear this dress. She gushes about how much she loved the families and that this elimination is gut-wrenching. Just go ahead and eliminate Colton so I can go to bed!

Blake gets a rose. Jason gets a rose. Garrett gets a rose. Colton does not get a rose. Shocker! They have a tearful goodbye.

Next week: More tears in Thailand!

Cazzie David Should Be the Next Bachelorette: A Proposal


Two beautiful people, a spontaneous six-week courtship, that massive diamond, and millions of viewers across America—Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson did The Bachelor better than ABC ever could.

Who cares if the romance lasts? Not me. In the less than two months since the couple forwent their individual rooms (and moved in together), the duo has gotten multiple tribute tattoos, posted several viral Instagrams, and given us the internet sensation that is BDE.

As for the rush, who knows. The world is on fire. We could die tomorrow. Ariana Grande has a new album to sell. Pete Davidson probably just wants us to smile more. If it’s a stunt, fine—but it feels good. All I want now is for the nuptials to be televised.

While I wait for that, I’d like to turn our collective attention to what happens after the final rose; conventional #BachNation wisdom has it that the new Bachelorette be chosen from the previous show. The pool thus narrowed, the real selection process kicks off: The Bachelorette needs tousled waves, a good attitude, and white teeth. She must be pleasant, but with some lovable dint or quirk. She’s a “goofball” or she’s “competitive” or she loves beer. She has oversize flannel button-downs. She looks stupendous in sequins.

What the Bachelorette needs to be above all is a woman the audience wants to root for—pitiable, but not pathetic. Wounded, but not broken. Chill. A catch. A babe.

So, a proposal: If the Bachelorette is a scorned lover with some wit and nice hair, let’s give Cazzie David the job.

A David-led season is the reprieve this tainted franchise needs to survive. She’s certified hilarious. She has great brows. Last month, she claimed she’d become a “human bottle of wine,” a feat which would well serve the drunken antics and general suspension of common sense that the show demands. Andrew Firestone could boast of his tire fortune, sure. And Lorenzo Borghese was a “prince.” But David is a genuine comedic heiress. A hometown date with Larry David? The fact that an event so ripe for ridicule hasn’t been an episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm until now is criminal.

Plus, the timeline fits. Davidson and David broke up less than 12 weeks ago. (So the heartbreak is fresh, which we know is how ABC likes it.) Some 100 hours later, news spread that he’d moved on with Grande. Soon, he’d covered up a tattoo of David’s face and announced his plans to wed.

And though David wouldn’t choose her suitors, I feel certain her involvement would lead to a better slate of candidates. She once wore Rachel Green’s face on a shirt—and she looked good.

Go ahead and tell me it’ll never happen. That David is too cool. That she’ll meet someone on Tinder for celebrities or have her pal Lorde fix her up with a New Zealander and be just fine. I beg to differ. Cazzie David is a person whose ex has vowed eternal devotion to a ponytail icon in less time than it’s taken me to return all the J.Crew swimsuits I ordered this summer.

Cazzie David wants the roses.

She wants the one-on-ones and the cocktail parties, and here is the evidence.

Her most recent Instagram features a miniscule red bikini, waves that plead for a Pantene Pro-V sponsorship, an even tan, and the ultimate tell—an open (color-coordinated) sleeve of Haribo gummies. It screams, “I’m hot, but I love artificial food colors.” Or perhaps, “Behold, the revenge bod that red wine and fructose built.” It’s a billboard, and it declares, “I have that BDE too.”

Love her, but Becca Kufrin could never.

What I mean is: Chris Harrison, please call me. I need a cut of this deal.

Lincoln Adim From *The Bachelorette* Was Reportedly Convicted of Assault and Battery


Lincoln Adim, one of Becca Kufrin’s contestants on The Bachelorette, was reportedly convicted of assault and battery just days before the season premiered. Reality Steve first broke the story and published the statement from the Suffolk County Massachussetts D.A.’s office, and People magazine followed up, interviewing Jake Wark, the press secretary of the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.

According to the DA’s statement, Adim was found guilty on May 21, 2018 of indecent assault and battery for groping and assaulting a woman on a cruise ship. The incident in question happened two years prior on May 30, 2016. Wark told People Adim was sentenced to one year behind bars, but it was suspended for a two-year probationary period.

And Walk explained to People that, “The judge ordered him to stay away from the victim and attend three Alcoholics Anonymous meetings per week during those two years,” Wark explained. “If he complies with the judge’s orders, he will not have to serve out his term, but if he fails to comply with those orders or re-offends, he could be ordered to serve out the year behind bars. By law, he is expected to register as a sex offender.”

Glamour reached out to ABC and Warner Horizon, the studio behind the Bachelorette franchise, and both declined to comment.

This story is coming on the heels of another controversy involving a Bachelorette contestant. On June 1, Garrett Yrigoyen issued a statement via Instagram after reports surfaced that he liked homophobic, transphobic, and otherwise bigoted posts on social media.

“I never realized the power behind a mindless double tap on Instagram and how it bears so much weight on people’s lives,” he wrote. “I did not mean any harm by any of it. My Instagram ‘likes’ were not a true reflection of me and my morals.”

Twitter Is Having a Blast Comparing the *Bachelorette* Contestants to Celebrities


The contestants on The Bachelorette this season are really…something. There’s Jordan, the “male model” who prides himself on his gentlemanly shoes and pensive stares. Then, we have Jean-Blanc, the “colognoisseur” who’s actually shaping up to be pretty solid so far. Of course, there’s Garrett and his Instagram drama and Connor and his picture-throwing drama—not to mention Lincoln, who’s very hot but may be the show’s first crying villain. Regardless, though, you get the picture: The men this season are ripe for commentary.

Fans on Twitter are certainly doing that, and the latest conversation around the contestants is hilarious. Bachelor Nation is currently having a blast posting side-by-side photos of the dudes this year and their celebrity doppelgängers. The trend seemed to start with Jason T., who people couldn’t help but compare to both Ethan Craft from Lizzie McGuire and Joey Donner from 10 Things I Hate About You.

And the splits just keep going from there. Yup, Chris R. really does look like Chandler’s crazy roommate from Friends. The hair and eyebrows are hilariously and iconically spot-on.

As is this comparison of Garrett and the shark from Finding Nemo, Bruce. It sounds wonky, but once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

I reject this Kenny G-Leo comparison, though. If anything, Leo looks like Jason Momoa minus the bulk.

But this Blake and Cody Lambert from Step By Step call-out hits the nail on the head.

So does this tweet, which likens Colton to Roy from The Office. It’s all in the eyes, really—and the oddly-specific hair.

Now all I want is for Chris R. to do an impression of Chandler’s roommate on the next Bachelorette episode. What are the chances of that happening?
