‘Bachelorette’ fans fuming at Clare Crawley’s casting as new leading lady

Hot on the heels of a stunning announcement by ABC that Clare Crawley is the new “Bachelorette,” many fans of the franchise have vowed to boycott the upcoming season.

Crawley, 38, made her first foray into “Bachelor” nation in 2014 while she was among those competing for Juan Pablo Galavas’ love when she arrived to meet the man of her dreams donning a fake baby bump. She ended up doing well for herself on the show, becoming one of the two finalists on the season. The pair split, however, with Crawley infamously telling Juan Pablo that she’d “lost respect” for him.

The youngest of six sisters, Crawley returned to the franchise via their spin-offs, appearing twice on “Bachelor in Paradise” during season 1 and 2 as well as “The Bachelor: Winter Games” in 2018 where she became engaged to Benoit Beausejour-Savard – a relationship which went nowhere as the pair called it quits just months later.

Given Crawley’s storied history with the franchise, aficionados of “Bachelor” universe weren’t exactly jumping for joy at ABC’s selection of the California hairstylist.

“Are you serious?” inquired one dejected viewer, while another commenter wrote “Crazy Claire?? No thanks. I’ll be sitting out for the first time since season 1.”

“Me too for the first time ever. This girl has had so many chances. Why her?” another asked.- Source

‘The Bachelor’ Creator Mike Fleiss Accused of Attacking Wife

“The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” creator Mike Fleiss has been accused of attacking his wife Laura Fleiss at their home in Hawaii on July 4, according to documents obtained by Variety.

The documents show that Laura Fleiss, who is currently pregnant, filed for an emergency domestic violence restraining order against her husband after he allegedly attacked her and “demanded” she have an abortion.

“While we were at our house in Kauai, Mike demanded that I get an abortion,” Laura Fleiss says in the document. “Our son Ben was in the house, seated in another room nearby. Mike told me, ‘If you have an abortion, then we can just go back to the way we were.’”

In her statement, Laura Fleiss alleges that on July 6 Fleiss “grabbed (her) body” and “forcibly pinned (her) up against the wall.,” before yelling at her and threatening to “punch her in the face.” Later on, Fleiss allegedly “forcefully shoved” Laura Fleiss off the side of his truck while she pleaded with him to return her cellphone, which he had taken.

Laura Fleiss, who is being represented in regards to the matter by Samantha Spector of Spector Law and Lisa Meyer of Meyer Olson Lowy & Meyers, also describes how her husband had “become enraged” at the fact she was pregnant and threatened to “cut her off financially.”

“While Mike has frequently been verbally abusive towards me during our marriage, in recent weeks, he has become enraged, due to the fact I am pregnant with our second child. Mike told me many times that he did not want us to have a second child. He also repeatedly told me throughout our marriage, and prior to our marriage, that he knew he would ‘have to have’ one child with me because I was 26-years-old when we got married, did not yet have any children, and he knew I wanted to have a family. Mike, however, being 55-years old, did not want to have more than one child together.” – Source
