“The Bachelor” Creator Mike Fleiss Left The Series After A Racial Discrimination Investigation Into Him
We all know The Bachelor, but you may not know the creator of the show Mike Fleiss unless you read Dlisted and remember that time his wife got a restraining order against him and accused him of assault but later reunited with him. Mess. But mess seems to follow Mike, as he revealed this week that he would be leaving The Bachelor after 21 years. He made the exit sound chipper and amicable but it sounds like the opposite is true. It turns out there was a racial discrimination investigation into Mike, and the result was: Mike Begone!
The 19th Season Of “The Bachelorette” Will Have Two Leads
The Bachelorette is probably going to be a mess next season. Because it will have two leads who were the jilted women from last night’s The Bachelor season finale. 30-year-old Gabby Windey (brunette) and 25-year-old Rachel Recchia (blonde) are going to date 30+ dudes in the hopes of finding their forever love. Gabby and Rachel will date the men at the same time. Double-Shot At Love, who? MTV needs to sue over copyright infringement!
Colton Underwood Says That Being “The Bachelor” Was His Attempt At “Self-Conversion Therapy”
Colton Underwood made history as the first lead of The Bachelor to come out as a big ol’ homosexual after the show ended. Colton ended up picking a winner, Cassie Randolph, and that ended with her taking out a restraining order against him for stalking her. Colton starred in a Netflix reality show about his coming out and is now engaged to political strategist Jordan C. Brown. While on Watch What Happens Live! this week, Colton told Andy Cohen that he doesn’t want to get a prenup with Jordan (smart if he’s the poorer one). Also during that episode, Colton revealed that he saw The Bachelor as a form of conversion therapy. I mean… it definitely is the straightest thing I can think of.
“The Bachelor” Contestant Daria Rose Spent $4,400 On Wardrobe Only To Be Eliminated On Night One
Daria Rose was a contestant on this season of The Bachelor which is airing now. And in a TikTok and an article on Insider, she gets into how she dropped $4,400 on glamorous ensembles for the show, but instead of touching a rose on the first night, she probably touched the keys on her phone to type in TheRealReal on her browser so she could sell that shit and maybe come out even!
Former “Bachelor” Colton Underwood Got Engaged To Jordan C. Brown
Full disclosure: up until five minutes ago, I thought Colton Underwood was the football player who came out as gay last year. I mean, technically he is, but I was thinking of Carl Nassib. Nope, Colton Underwood is the former football player and Bachelor star who came out as gay last year. He also starred in the recent Netflix reality show Coming Out Colton. And, um, his ex from The Bachelor, Cassie Randolph, got a restraining order against him for harassing and stalking her after their break up. Now Colton can add “fiancé” to his list of descriptors: over the weekend he got engaged to his boyfriend, Jordan C. Brown.
Several “Bachelor Nation” Alums Received Tens Of Thousands Of Dollars In PPP Loans During The Pandemic
Bachelor Nation cranks out like five to ten solid influencers a year across their shows The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Bachelor In Paradise. The hot-bodied twenty-somethings who go on that show aren’t even usually looking for love and are instead looking for a hotel or travel website to sponsor vacations where they wear rented designer merch and get to keep one piece of their choice valued under $500. The fucking dream! But then Coronavirus came along and made it “hard” for these reality messes turned influencers to travel and make money for doing absolutely nothing. TMZ says that some of the Bachelor folks dipped into PPP loans meant to help the needy! And no, Colton Underwood, being needy for attention does not count!
