'The Bachelor' Fans Defend Brittany Galvin After Escort Claims

A big controversy began in the latest episode of The Bachelor, in which five new women entered the competition to win the heart of Matt James.
One of the women was a 23-year-old model from Chicago named Brittany Galvin and some accusations were quickly made against her by another contestant.
Brittany was the first of the five women to be introduced to Matt and she decided to take her few moments with him to “catch up” on lost time. She went in for the kiss and made out with him!
This clearly upset the “OG” women who were watching from inside the resort and they all had an immediate negative opinion of the newcomers.
Click inside to read where the escort rumor came from…

During a group date, Brittany interrupted Anna‘s time with Matt and she went back to the other women to tell them that she remembers Brittany from life in Chicago.
“There is a rumor that because she knows all of the rich men in Chicago that she may be an escort. She may be having a transactional relationship with men,” Anna said.
After Anna confronts Brittany about the escort claim, Brittany denied them.
Fans are pointing out that the claims could ruin Brittany‘s life because they aren’t true and they’re also saying that if the claims were true, no one should be shaming a sex worker.
If the rumor isn’t true, Anna started a stigmatizing lie about Brittany that could ruin her life. If it is true, Anna outed a sex worker on national tv and potentially put her life in danger to be petty. That isn’t funny, cute, or “tea”. That’s fucked up #TheBachelor pic.twitter.com/y2ooxaV587

Wait. Let me get this straight? They’ve been saying Brittany is an escort for weeks in promos and this poor girl isn’t? How is this ok? #thebachelor

Not @TheAnnaRedman spreading nasty rumors that could potentially ruin Brittany’s life. That’s why her and Victoria are friends. Their nasty attitudes deserve each other.

Anna confronting Brittany in front of all the other girls on the date is gross and horrible.
Victoria telling her to get out is disgusting #TheBachelor

#TheBachelor villains are usually horrible but relatively harmless in the grand scheme of things.
But Anna outing Brittany as a sex worker or else lying about her being a sex worker ON NATIONAL TV could actually ruin her life?? I'm honestly nauseous, that's so fucked up.

Aaaaand it ended up being false
Brittany is 100% justified in saying they should have never made a judgement about her before even meeting her.
