Viewers Are Calling Out The Slut-Shaming Going Down On ‘The Bachelor’
The nasty dynamic between the women on this year’s The Bachelor keeps getting even worse and seriously, I’m so tired.
Tonight Roxi made a whole slew of comments about Kaitlyn that were mean at best and at worst just blatant slut-shaming. As Kaitlyn approached Locky to talk to him (how dare?!) at tonight’s cocktail party, Roxi said in a piece to camera, “Kaitlyn is trying to get Locky’s attention and I was just like, ‘Hold up, we’re not at a titty bar, girl. You’re at the wrong venue.'”
Huge yikes.
During their chat, Kaitlyn pecked Locky on the lips and news of the scandalous lip lock spread like wildfire around the mansion. After Kaitlyn specified to the girls that they only pecked on, Roxi told her, “That’s classless. You don’t do that at a cocktail party,” before saying (after Kaitlyn left the conversation), “I’m sorry but she’s Gold Coast trash.”
Roxi then went around the party loudly declaring that Kaitlyn was “classless” and her actions were “disgusting.” Later Roxi said this in her voxxie about Kaitlyn: “She thinks she’s top shit, she’s a goddamn Malibu Barbie in this house. Piss off already!”
Is slut shaming another woman and calling them trash what we want to see women do in 2020? #TheBachelorAU pic.twitter.com/k6XfBcNviZ

Roxi said all of this, because of a kiss on the lips that lasted about one second. Seriously, are we still doing this in 2020? Lord knows, I thought we, as people, would have learned a thing or two after viewers and fellow contestants slut-shamed Abbie Chatfield last season for literally just kissing the Bachelor. You know, the man they are all supposed to be kissing.
That’s the premise of the whole show.
This week’s episodes of The Bachelor have been rife with internalised misogyny. Viewers are not here for all these women attacking each other and Roxi’s slut-shaming words tonight has been a step too far for fans.
