The Internet has been buzzing since The Bachelorette promo suggesting a homosexual relationship between two of the contestants, JJ Lane and Clint Arlis, was released.
The guys are on the show fighting for the love of Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, but have now been deemed “Brokeback Bachelors” after a promo aired where Clint says, “Falling in love with a man never crossed my mind,” adding he and JJ have “grown very close to each other in the shower.”
However, TMZ is reporting that none of the promo is actually real and “nothing gay ever happened.” They also “just think it’s funny,” and even provided ABC with the soundbites to use. The guys are reportedly enjoying the attention on social media.
