Bachelor Nation Is Outraged with Arie Luyendyk Jr. for Dumping Becca Weeks After Proposing
Warning: This post contains Bachelor spoilers.
Bachelor Nation is not happy with Arie Luyendyk Jr.
On Monday evening’s dramatic season 22 finale of The Bachelor, Luyendyk Jr. proposed to Becca Kufrin during the final rose ceremony in Peru — only to break up with her on during what Kufrin thought would be a romantic weekend together in Los Angeles.
During a filmed, sit-down discussion, Luyendyk Jr., 36, called off his engagement with 27-year-old Kufrin and admitted that he still had feelings for runner-up Lauren Burnham.
While watching the tearful and unedited breakup, audiences slammed Luyendyk Jr. on social media.
There are no words to describe how low and disgusting Arie is. Also, I can’t believe I really just tweeted about the bachelor. Look what you made me do, Arie. #TheBachelor

Somewhere Juan Pablo knows he’s no longer the most hated #bachelor #thebachelor @BachelorABC and is whispering softly to himself “esss okay”

Juan Pablo should send Ari a thank you note- now he’s not the most hated Bachelor ever! #TheBachelor

This is disgusting The Bachelor shouldn’t be airing all of this. Arie’s just trying to save face and no one wants to watch Becca go through this. #TheBachelor

I hate Chris Harrison and The Bachelor producers and ABC for even filming this.

Former contestants on The Bachelor, including Ben Higgins and Sean Lowe, also took to Twitter to chime in on — and/or criticize — the conversation.
But real talk does this mean @jason_mesnick and I are off the hook now?? #TheBachelor
— Benjamin Higgins (@benhiggi) March 6, 2018
How did this breakup end up on camera? Seems like a private conversation. We don’t belong in this conversation....but im still watching #TheBachelor
— Benjamin Higgins (@benhiggi) March 6, 2018
Wouldn’t you consider learning from the mistakes of those before you - maybe call and ask what NOT to do...like filming the breakup ???????????? #TheBachelor ????
— Molly Mesnick (@MollyMesnick) March 6, 2018
I don’t like this one bit. Shouldn’t have filmed. #thebachelor

Not in agreement with this made for tv moment. #thebachelorfinale

This is just MEAN. But let’s all keep in mind these are real people with real feelings.... keep that in mind while we humiliate them. ???????????????????????????? https://t.co/FcbIncmkdC

I wonder why @ariejr didn’t just say, “I need to date you both longer in real life to make this decision.”

This is so painful to watch with flashes of her engagement ring showing #thebachelorfinale
— Caila Quinn (@CailaQuinn) March 6, 2018
So happy Becca is logically confronting the issue and not blaming herself asking if she did anything wrong! ???????? #thebachelorfinale
