The Bachelorette star Andi Dorfman was called a slut on Fox News this week, following runner-up Nick Viall's TMI reveal on the After the Final Rose special.
Still not over her several months after the finale was taped, Nick asked Andi why she "made love" with him if she wasn't as in love as Nick was - or at all.
This became the talk of the finale - more than Andi and winner Josh Murray - and naturally, The Five co-host Bob Beckel slammed the Atlanta attorney for it.
"She's a slut!" Beckel blurted out on the Fox News program. "I'm not kidding you. She sleeps with somebody else and doesn't tell the other guy about it."
Andi Dorfman Called a Slut on Fox News
Co-host Greg Gutfeld seemed to agree, claiming that Andi had no right to tell Nick his awkward, live TV comment was "below the belt," which she did.
"Now all of a sudden he says something honest and you go, 'Oh, wow, you just stepped over.' Nothing is private when you do a reality show," he said.
"You're on a reality show where you're making out with guys every day."
Fortunately for Andi, co-host Andrea Tantaros jumped to her defense.
"Are you kidding me right now?" Tantaro shot back, speaking for all of us.
"Excuse me, Bob. You probably sleep with a different woman every night."
Ouch. "Yeah, but I'm not some bachelorette or bachelor," Beckel retorted, idiotically, as if that has anything to do with the topic or obvious double standard at hand.
The Bachelorette Clip - Nick Viall on After the Final Rose
Whatever you think of Nick's remark - which he apologized for - there's no way:
- Every Bachelor star save virginal Sean Lowe hasn't done the same
- He would be called that vile word if a woman called him out on this
While Nick should never have brought this up in that setting (it wasn't even in Viall's letter to Dorfman), one can say he was asking a valid question.
He would never describe her in such terms, however, and neither should anyone else. Andi hasn't addressed the Fox quote, but she did tell E! News:
"I'd rather people just talk about us and talk about the happy couple. We did it. We did what [The Bachelorette] is all about. We are in love."
Here's wishing the best for the future Mr. and Mrs. Josh Murray, and for Nick, who should probably try to move on from this embarrassment ASAP:
