Bachelorette 14 - Becca Kufrin - Media SM - Discussion - *Sleuthing Spoilers* #6

alwaystulips wrote:Very interesting RS podcast with Ashley Spivey on Garrett’s likes.  Not an RS fan but was keen on listening because Ashley has driven this discussion in the media. She really speaks to many core issues of this awful SM situation. This was taped Tuesday afternoon before Becca’s public comments.  They wondered, at that point, if ABC or Garrett would make any public statement.

* Ashley corroborated the story with 3 other individuals who were following Garrett last year and confirmed they were his likes before putting up the screenshots sent to her.  

* Garrett’s actions before and since this came out have caused Ashley to question his motivations for going on the show.  While Becca had no access to Garrett’s SM, he had access to hers before filming.  Becca clearly expresses some of her views there and Ashley wondered why he would want to pursue a relationship with someone whose views are so diametrically opposed to his own.

*Once Garrett deleted his account, she wonders why he would open a new one.  If his motivation was really to be in a relationship with Becca, she questions why he would care about building any following at this point. She thinks he should’ve stayed off SM through filming.  (IMO, the show mandated he get back on)

*Ashley wants people to realize how much money people make as IG influencers once they get off the show and to think about whether they want to follow and support someone who expresses these views.

I can see it resurfacing towards the end. Blake seems like a fun, genuine guy and I have a feeling he’s going to gain a large fan base. People won’t be happy when she pics bigot G over the sweet B.
