Former The Bachelorette star, and the ex-fiance of current contestant Tash Candyce, Michael Turnbull has slammed this year’s season of The Bachelors.
Michael Turnbull came runner-up on the first season of The Bachelorette, which starred Sam Frost. It’s recently been revealed that he dated current The Bachelors contestant Tash Candyce.
In episode three of The Bachelors, which aired on Wednesday night, Tash outed fellow contestant Jessica as polyamorous, before she had the chance to tell Felix. When her co-star Jasmine stood up for Jessica, Tash told the women that Jasmine had OnlyFans.
However, it wasn’t Tash’s behaviour that her ex-fiance called out. Michael took aim at the current The Bachelors leads over the way they treat women.
“The behaviour of the men is so disrespectful to women… it’s not cool,” Michael said on Instagram. “R.I.P. Romance 10th Jan 2023,” he added.
The post appears to be aimed at Felix, who has already made out with multiple women in the first few days of the reality show. Felix was shocked by Jess’s revelation about being polyamorous and told fellow The Bachelor lead Felix that he “loves threesomes, just not with his wife.”
Another former The Bachelor contestant Jess Brody spoke out against Tash Candyce exposing Jasmine’s OnlyFans account.

“To me, that’s disgusting,” she told Yahoo Lifestyle. “When you’re in that house, you have a couple of days a week where you’re on camera and the rest is off camera, and so you know when you can say things on camera and off camera.
“You sort of have this agreement with the girls of what is said in those environments in those private moments is kept for those moments. I had really intimate conversations with some of the girls from my season, and that information has never gotten out to the world because of respect. And so I think Tash sort of broke that code of, ‘We said this in private’.”
