Viewers slam ‘sick’, ‘disgusting’ bully behaviour during explosive Bachelor episode
DRAMATIC scenes have broken out on The Bachelor, leaving one woman fleeing in tears, and viewers fuming at the “disgusting” behaviour which led her to that point.
ANGRY viewers have hit out at the “sick”, “disgusting” behaviour of this season’s Bachelor villains, which caused one distressed contestant to actually flee the mansion last night, hysterical and in tears.
Wild scenes erupted after what was a heartwarming start to the episode. Tenille Favios returned from her date with Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins clutching a rose and the story of their first kiss, but her excited debriefing turned sour when this season’s mean girls began grilling her.
It began when Romy Poulier, flanked by her “villain” sidekicks Cat Henesy and Alisha Aitken-Radburn, called across the room, “Tenille, were you saying it was gross kissing Nick?”
At first, Tenille managed to keep her cool as Romy continually put words in her mouth, but soon was overcome with frustration and ran from the set, ripping off her mic-pack as she literally bolted into the woods.
When a female producer finally caught up with her and asked what had happened, Tenille snapped.
“I have copped nothing but sh*t from those girls. I have been nothing but f***ing nice to them every single time they’ve gone on (a date). I can’t handle it,” she sobbed before taking off again, running barefoot from the mansion.
It’s not the first time Romy and Cat have been accused of bullying the other contestants — in fact, it’s been a pattern throughout the series.
But last night’s brutal scenes went “too far” for a number of viewers, who took to Twitter to vent their frustration at the “disgusting” behaviour.

okay so Kat and Romy are the absolute epitome of girls i cannot stand. i will never understand how some people can be so unapologetically blunt, rude and insulting to everyone that crosses their path, it's actually infuriating to watch #TheBachelorAU

Romy, Cat & Alisha are awful! Epitome of âmean girlsâ. No wonder theyâre single! #TheBachelorAU

The bachelor is really trying to empower bullies ay? Giving them so much screen time. Very unhealthy for young women to be following. #TheBachelorAU

Bullying in any form is not cool and you're putting the girls through a hazard. I believe those girls who were bullying should be removed immediately as their behavior is completely harmful. Those girls did not sign up for this show for that. @channelten #TheBachelorAU

I CANNOT wait for Romy & Cat to be taken from their pedestal, they make me sick. #TheBachelorAU

Every other season there has always been the few girls who say a little comment and are very clearly edited to seem far worse than they are, but there is no possible excuse for Romy and Cat. The words that come out of their mouths are revolting #TheBachelorAU

Normally I refrain from trashing the âvillainsâ bc the editing of this show loves to create a bad guy, but Romy, Cat and their other irrelevant friend are so vicious and cruel. And theyâre proud of it. Iâm disgusted watching it. #TheBachelorAU

I genuinely hope that these ADULT women know the effect that their words are having of people! As a woman and as a decent human being shame on you. You're behaviour is vile. #TheBachelorAU
