Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #5

ABC is contributing to the normalization of racism, transphobia, and dehumanization underrepresented populations by refusing to comment.

Becca's comments on the Garrett situation, starts at 3:08 https://www.facebook.com/extra/videos/10155773772214755/. My summary: "LOL it's a free country and he loves me so who cares about everyone else. Watch my journey tho "

And my response is

I'm trying to decide if I should completely skip this season or just skip over every Becca/Garrett interaction.

THIS. I really don't like or agree with his "likes" BUT he is not tweeting out vile words (like some other folks with big platforms) and there is no proof that HE is the one who hit the "like" button. I know that makes me Devil's Advocate but really it's not like this guy is being belligerent about his opinions (as awful as they may be) so it's pure speculation at this point and he is 1 guy out of 20 something on a TV show that many people don't watch or make fun of. If he is really F1 then it may be a slippery slope at the end but I'm just really confused at the hate at this point. IMHO

I'm not sure what there is to be confused about. He "liked" several comments on SM that are IMO are highly disgusting. Everyone has the right to post their opinions on how they feel. Like him or not, IMO there is proof that he did like them with s/shots posted to prove it. I don't hate anyone, but I can certainly post my opinions on how I think one has to be sick in the head to believe or agree with those posts.

I posted my thoughts about the hacker theory around here but I just don't see a hacker intentionally getting into his IG, following all sorts of questionable accounts, going through posts from months ago, liking them, then keeping the account private. What benefit is that? His account was private all through filming. Only until his account went public someone dug deeper into his account IMO and found the likes. Probably after seeing his list of accounts he's following.

Garrett would not have been able to get into the account without the assistance of IG. He was spending extra days in the Maldives after the FRC and was able to delete the link account from his bio. Proof in our s/shot. So on March 10th 11th? he was able to access his account. It couldn't have been hacked then. When exactly did the hacker get into his IG preventing Garrett from using his account?

We have s/caps of his SM activity, his followings numbers didn't go up so the hacker didn't follow the accounts, they must have always been there otherwise they would have shown as recent follows. Once the account was public, and the likes were found, he was quick to set it back to private and delete it altogether creating a brand spanking new on. If he was hacked, he should have IMO posted that immediately on his new IG. I would have, a lot of people do that.

Is this a new video?  Can someone please bring it here?  I can’t see it.  TIA!

She really dropped the "it's a free country" defence . I can't even.

I know she's in tech PR but I still expected better from her. Super obvious and a terrible attempt to pivot. She will need to get better b/c this won't be the last time she's asked.

Ugh!

Should have gone with the Ambien excuse. At least it's original.

I.Can’t.Even. All I can say is I hope this is a long engagement. Pretty obvious there wasn’t any hacking of his account or there would have been some indication that is wasn’t true. She’s sounding defensive..... many different.... personalities....it’s a free country. Becca are you really accepting his liking those posts? This is going to tell us as much about her as it does about him.

This is ABC press tour Becca... not Becca chatting with her girlfriends. ABC has set a script (ignore/deflect) so I don’t see her going rogue anytime soon.

Me every time Becca tries to tell me to have an open mind towards her bigot (imo) fiancé and his bigoted beliefs:
