Recently Eliminated Contestant Hayden From The Bachelorette Apologizes To Gabby And Rachel For Calling Them Bitches And Talking About Their Boobs, Then Lying About It
Hayden Markowitz made a very public apology to both Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia following his abrupt elimination on Monday's new episode of "The Bachelorette."
Throughout the hour, Hayden made quite a few vulgar comments about the co-leads to the other guys -- referring to one of them as "bitch," openly comparing their breasts to his ex's while saying the Bachelorettes "don't hold a candle to her," and proclaiming he couldn't see why any guy on the show would want to marry them.
All that got back to Rachel, who confronted him a, before sending him packing.
When I watched this show in real time, we saw all of these things coming out of Hayden's mouth. I don't remember him saying "I don't see why any guy would marry these girls" but GOD DAMN that has to be #1 on the list of things you DON'T say while you're filming The Bachelorette, right?
After Hayden made his public apology following ABC's airing of "The Bachelorette" episode in which he was eliminated, both leads have weighed in on his Instagram post.
Rachel told ET that she and Gabby "just ultimately look forward to having a conversation with him at 'Men Tell All.'" In regards to his post, she said that she hadn't spoken to him since his departure, telling TheWrap, "When it’s a public apology, it doesn’t feel as personal."
Gabby told the outlet that she doesn't think Hayden is a bad person, reiterating Rachel's assertion that they're looking forward to talking with him at the "Men Tell All."
"It's nice, of course, to hear an apology," said Gabby. "But … I think he did … just outright lie and thought that he couldn't get caught."
Amen. He needs to send them personal notes, say it to their faces, anything more than just this weird public apology. This is the same guy who used his dog's cancer as a manipulative sob story tactic, and then later got mad at Rachel for not "being sympathetic enough to his situation." Probably because it was a weird move, Hayden! It was also pretty fucked up when you said their tits couldn't hold a candle to your ex girlfriend? Was it worth it? Did your ex slide back into your DMs, or did it just reaffirm that breaking up with you was the right thing to do? Weird vibes all around. I can't wait for Men Tell All to hear his big sappy apology to the girls, and to America.
