‘The Bachelorette’ Preview: Robby’s Mama Fills Him in on Ex-GF Drama

It’s hometown dates time on The Bachelorette, rose lovers! From whence will the drama come? For Robby, it looks like his hometown cross to bear will be courtesy of his ex-girlfriend — or, more specifically, his ex-girlfriend’s roommate. As viewers learned last week, Robby was just FOUR MONTHS out of a long-term relationship with his ex when he signed up to appear on The Bachelorette — or at least that’s what he told JoJo. In the exclusive preview above, Robby’s mom informs him that his ex’s roomie is telling people “you broke up to go on the show.”

Of course, Robby finds this news very upsetting. “JoJo has concerns about this,” he groans. “And that could make her question my honesty.” Fortunately Robby’s mom is there to comfort him in his time of reality TV need. Watch the clip above and then let me know your thoughts: Who’s telling the truth — Robby or his ex? Who do you think JoJo will believe? And why does Robby have glitter on his face?
