The uproar over Clayton Echard's behavior toward contestant Susie Evans has marred TheBachelor's hopes of a scandal-free season. Here's what to know.
As he narrowed his choices to three women, Echard indicated that he favored Virginia-based wedding videographer Susie Evans.
Echard’s path to happily-ever-after appeared clear — until it wasn’t. Instead of a blissful romantic finish, “The Bachelor” has again erupted into a firestorm that some Bachelor Nation devotees say is the most volcanic and messy in the show’s 20-year run. Echard, who was named as the Bachelorhas spent the last several days in damage-control mode after being slammed by fans with accusations of gaslighting and narcissism.
In the “Fantasy Suites” episode, Echard was given the opportunity to spend an intimate overnight date with Evans, nurse Gabby Windey and flight instructor Rachel Recchia. Despite his deeper feelings for Evans, he also declared his love to both Windey and Recchia during their respective dates, and had sex with both of them.
“What Clayton did was 100% gaslighting, and I don’t throw that term around often,” said DeAlto, author of “How to Connect with Anyone Anywhere .” “He took absolutely no responsibility for his actions. Yes, Susie could have communicated her feelings about intimacy better. But for him to turn it completely on her and make it her responsibility was totally wrong. He made her feel like it was entirely her fault in a way that made her question herself.
Later, addressing how he told three women he was in love with them, Jackson said, “I want to know exactly: Who are you to act a certain way and treat these women a certain way and subject them to this kind of behavior of yours and what did they do to deserve it?” “It is unreasonable that people are giving him a hard time for getting upset,” said Monica O’Neal, a licensed clinical psychologist. “Who wouldn’t be upset? This person who you actually had strong feelings for and who has said they have strong feelings for you is saying, ‘You slept with these other women so I don’t want you anymore. I’m done.’ And they get up and leave. It is the most basic human emotion and most authentic thing we saw in that episode.
