Former FWAW contestant Erin Dore has lashed out at Farmer Benjamin Jackson for ghosting her.

Erin was one of Ben’s finalists before he quit the show due to health reasons without making his final pick. The reality star told So Dramatic! that he reached out to her on social media after leaving the show.

“A few weeks after us girls had to leave the farm, he looked me up on Instagram out of the blue and started messaging me. We then started texting and were so for about two months,” she said.

“And then one day, for no apparent reason, I just never heard from him again, not a single response. So yes, ghosted.”

Erin said she expected Benjamin to reach out and call things off with her if he wasn’t interested in taking things further.

“I understand people change their minds and that’s totally fine, but he has never done the honourable or respectful thing and given me closure, which I find absolutely disgusting!”

“I’d expect this behaviour from an immature teenage boy, not a mature age farmer. But perhaps this is why he needed to go on the show.
“I’m not bitter, I always knew there was a big chance I’d walk away empty-handed. But the way I was treated is what I’m royally p*ssed off about.”

Prior to the interview, Erin took to her social media account to call Benjamin out. She posted a photo of a card that she’d received from Benjamin that had a poem on the front, she captioned the post: “A few weeks after we left the farm, Benjamin reached out to me unprovoked, led me on for a few months and then *poof* he ghosted me… a fully grown adult man.”

She continued, “No explanation, no closure, nothing — lovely bloke 🙄 (he’s recovered now too btw so ZERO excuses).

“So I think it’s about time I sent this ‘gift’ back to where it came from, he needs this life advice far more than I ever will [sic].”
