Chris’s Instagram account is back so his social media is completely dark.

Here’s arie’s tweet in reply to MF about the breakup. There are likely additional comments elsewhere as well.

Try delivering twins at 48.  #whatwasIthinking.

My age did get me out of a speeding ticket, though.  My 3 year olds were in the back seat chanting mommy's getting a ticket, when the officer looked at my license, "Oh, wow" and sent me on my way.

That's the hateful statement?     I think everyone knew that relationship was a showmance.

Chris couldn't put 2 sentences together, the segment JK did was hilarious...but I still like Chris even if I didn't enjoy his season, something about that country boy.

One thing that Arie did that bother me was when he use Sean's blog to tried to reach the Christian Audience of the show.

Okay, I don't want to get into this whole Chris thing because it's not his thread. But, when he was found he had a BAC of 0%. Based on normal metabolism, it is incredibly, incredibly unlikely that he had a BAC of .08 or over when he was driving. He certainly was lucid in his 911 call. Furthermore, the victim's truck had an issue with their headlights. We just don't know all the details of the case and it is incredibly insensitive to mock someone for being arrested when you don't know the details of the case. Someone died and he used it as an opportunity to get one over on the person who got the Bachelor over him. If Chris hadn't beaten him for the Bachelor, would he have posted that (along with mocking his and Whitney's break up)? My guess is of course not. He wouldn't have given a sh*t. Also, super hypocritical since the guy has a mug shot of his own. IMO.

Oh my gosh, word to all of this. I remember there was an article somewhere recapping Bach nation responses. Literally everyone else (including Whitney, and Kaitlyn, and Andi and Becca) who all dated (or were engaged to him) were thoughtful and solemn. Wished the best for everyone and said they couldn’t comment on specifics cause they didn’t know details, just hoped for the best for Chris and sent thoughts and prayers to the family of the deseased. I remember Ben Higgins, and Sean also had nice things to say that didn’t come off judgemental or harshly (which, no small feat for those two. ) 

Then ... here comes Are. Acting like a petty little 12 year old. If it hadn’t been for his slight at losing the Bach gig, he never would have posted any of that. As someone pointed out upthread, “best to keep quiet and not bully” in these kinds of situations. IMO 

My opinion and my take from that little spectacle.

I don't think anyone said it was a hateful statement. It's about the fact that Arie consistently takes jabs at people and generally never takes the high road, but if anyone says anything bad about him it's as if they're the worst people ever and they're bullies etc.

That's such an innocuous statement, I don't how anyone can interpret it as a jab, or as being sorry for the couple, or being anything other than shaking head back and forth, as in no, oh no, or omg no.  

As the old saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder...one's feelings does affect one's intreptation of what's said.

All imo!  

But, man, the things that are said on this board every single season is way worse than what any contestant has ever said about each other. And yet we judge their words.

He wrote a post on Sean's blog around the time he was campaigning for the bachelor talking about how he was growing in his faith blah blah blah .
