‘Bachelorette’ JoJo Fletcher Threatening To Quit The Show? Ben Higgins’ Runner-Up Has Some Diva Demands [Report]
JoJo Fletcher’s time on The Bachelorette may not be going as well as previously reported. While the former Bachelor runner-up narrows down her choice of suitors, reports indicate that Fletcher is having constant problems with producers. Is Fletcher on the brink of quitting the show before she gets to the final rose ceremony?
According to OK! Magazine, Fletcher agreed to appear on The Bachelorette only if producers met a long list of demands. These demands centered on her suitors, and Fletcher went so far as to provide a list of requirements that she deemed suitable for each contestant.
“The fame and attention definitely fed JoJo’s ego,” a source told the outlet. “She wouldn’t accept anything less than what she asked for. If her requirements weren’t met, she told ABC she would quit.”
What was on Fletcher’s list of requirements? Apparently, she wanted all of her suitors to be very successful and wealthy. At the same time, Fletcher also demanded that they all share certain physical requirements, including height and hair color, which helps to explain the similar appearance of many of the contestants that have been seen in spoiler photos.
“Her type is very tall and dark-haired,” the source revealed. “So that’s who she wanted to choose from, [though] she’d be open to a few blonds.”
Despite the list of demands, producers were able to meet all of Fletcher’s requirements. However, Fletcher has apparently kept up her conflict with producers and has been acting like a diva on set. Not only has this frustrated producers of the hit series, but it also threatens how fans will react to Fletcher once the show premieres next month.
That being said, Movie News Guide is reporting that JoJo Fletcher is still narrowing down her selection of men and has yet to quit the show. Most recently, creator Mike Fleiss revealed that Fletcher has made it to the hometown dates.
“Very interesting hometown dates,” Fleiss wrote on Twitter.
Unfortunately, Fleiss did not reveal which of the contestants have made it this far and where Fletcher took them on the dates. However, considering how Fletcher’s run on The Bachelor ended, it appears as though she is on the right track to finding love.
As fans will recall, Fletcher made it all the way to the final round of The Bachelor before Ben Higgins gave her the boot. However, before Higgins chose Lauren Bushnell, he told Fletcher that he loved her, which made getting rejected that much harder.
So far, from the glimpses and spoilers that have been released of her time on The Bachelorette, it seems Fletcher has moved past her feelings for Higgins. In fact, not only is Fletcher ready to find love, but she’s also happy with how things turned out with her former romance.
“I’m good friends with Lauren, and I think Ben’s amazing,” she told E! News, adding that she is content with Higgins’ rejection and is thankful for another opportunity at finding love.
Meanwhile, Fletcher is already getting down to her final picks on The Bachelorette. According to Carter Matt, Fletcher will be down to only three men after the hometown dates. From there, she will take the final contestants on overnight dates before heading into the final round.
Of course, considering the reports of Fletcher’s conflict with producers, it will be interesting to see how the last few episodes turn out. If Fletcher manages to make it through the show without quitting, then fans can only hope that she finds true love this time around.
Fans can watch Fletcher in action when The Bachelorette premieres May 23 on ABC.
