Lincoln Adim sexual misconduct charges[]

On June 13, 2018, the show came under more fire for allowing contestant Lincoln Adim to be on the show after he had been charged with groping and assaulting a woman on a harbor cruise ship on May 30, 2016. Adim was convicted of this crime after he had finished filming and one week before the season premiered.[52] Adim will have to register as a sex-offender. Warner Bros., who produces the show, claims that Adim lied about facing sexual misconduct charges and that they use a third-party company to do background checks, claiming:[53]

The report we received did not reference any incident or charge relating to the recent conviction ― or any other charges relating to sexual misconduct. We are currently investigating why the report did not contain this information, which we will share when we have it.

Colton Underwood drama[]

In January 2018, before being cast for The Bachelorette, Underwood had a brief relationship with The Bachelor season 22 contestant Tia Booth. Kufrin was made aware of the relationship early in the season but after Underwood received a hometown date, Booth came back and told Kufrin that she still had feelings. Underwood was then eliminated.[54]

During Underwood's hometown date, he revealed to Kufrin that she was the first girl he has brought home to meet his family. This was later proven to be untrue as fans of the show found old pictures of Underwood's ex-girlfriend, Aly Raisman, at his home with his family.[55]

After Underwood disclosed to Kufrin that he is a virgin, Wendy Williams commented on her show that she "[doesn't] trust people that have never had a drink, a smoke, and [she doesn't] trust people that have never had sex".[56] Williams received criticism from some fans, saying she humiliated Underwood and that virgin-shaming was not okay.[57] Underwood responded to Williams on Twitter by stating "Don’t trust a virgin, but you’ll trust your 3 baby daddies who cheat on you every weekend. Okay".[58] The tweet was ill-received by some fans of The Bachelorette, believing it had racist and slut-shaming undertones.[59]
