Bachelorette contestant Sam McKinney has made it clear he isn’t happy about how the show is portraying him. Jenn Tran fired back over his ‘bad edit’ claims. Keep reading to see her response to his allegations.
Viewers Call Out Red Flags From Contestants
Sam McKinney and Devin Strader are two frontrunners on Season 21 of The Bachelorette. They are also the suitors who have divided viewers the most. Devin isn’t well-liked among the other contestants because of his strong connection to Jenn.
On the other hand, Sam M. earned the First Impression Rose from Jenn and is friendly with some – but not all – of the cast. However, many Bachelor Nation viewers called out his red flags, especially after the last episode. During Sam and Jenn’s one-on-one date, he decided they would bungee jump off a building without considering her fear of heights.
Jenn Tran was initially upset over Sam M.’s lack of empathy. However, she later praised him for offering her comfort.
Sam McKinney Speaks Out Over Bachelorette Portrayal
The editing on the Bachelor franchise shows has come into question in recent years as viewers began realizing how the producers pull the strings behind the scenes. Sam M. has been vocal on social media about how he’s portrayed on the show since Season 21 started airing.
Both Sam M. and his family members have made claims that the show is purposely editing his scenes to make him look bad, aka the ‘villain edit.’ His dad claimed that Sam M. was edited badly to make other contestants look good and to make Jenn Tran not look like an ‘idiot.’
Jenn Tran Fires Back At Bad Edit Claims
Jenn Tran was a guest on the Love To See It podcast recently and shared her reaction to Sam M.’s claims. She said that while editing does happen, Jenn added, “No one can give you a villain edit.”
She suggested that her suitor take accountability for the things he said on the show.
“You have to own your words because no one’s putting words in your mouth. You are the person that’s saying those things. What I will say is that, sometimes you just gotta take responsibility for the things that are coming out of your mouth.”
