BACHELORETTE fans slammed Jamie as he accused Michelle Young of knowing Joe before the show.
In Tuesday’s episode of the ABC dating show, Jamie talked to the other guys about his suspicion that Michelle and Joe had a connection before filming kicked off.
Jamie then confronted Michelle and said that “everyone” was talking about it, which enraged fans who watched Jamie spark the rumor.
One viewer wrote: ‘yooo Jamie really trying to blame it on the other boys when it’s him who’s insecure that she already knows Joe.”
“This is weird AF” came another comment.
Another fan chimed in: “Jamie, what is this new tea you’ve decided to spill? Seems like you want to pick a fight with Michelle and Joe… jealous maybe?”
“Jamie stirring the pot and then pretending to be everyone’s friend” came another tweet.
After her chat with Jamie, Michelle addressed all the men together and said she briefly spoke with Joe online years ago but she met him for the first time on the show.
“Joe ghosted me after two messages and that was that.” she said.
Michelle, who was emotional after the confrontation, then cancelled the cocktail party after being upset that her character was being questioned.
The men headed straight to the rose ceremony.
