TikTok videos spark rumors about ‘Bachelorette’ villain Yosef Aborady
Videos from a disgruntled TikTok user appear to confirm on and off-screen drama about “The Bachelorette” contestant Yosef Aborady.
Posted starting on October 13 by Carly Hammond, the videos refer to a relationship she had with “the villain on this season of ‘The Bachelorette.'”
Though only two episodes of Season 16, starring Clare Crawley, have aired so far, Aborady has already gained a reputation as this season’s trouble-stirrer. Blogger Reality Steve tweeted that he confirmed with Hammond that her story was about Aborady, and had seen texts between the two.
In the first episode, contestant Tyler C. confronted Aborady, a medical-device salesman, about negative rumors he had heard. “Coming into this, I was in a weird position to learn some stuff about Yosef,” he said. “A lot of being reckless on Instagram and flirting with girls where I’m from who know me.”
Hammond’s claims play into this narrative. In the first video, she alleged that Aborady DMed her on Instagram, where they chatted for a few weeks. He was then cast on “The Bachelorette.” They continued to message, and would Facetime “for hours” and discussed “having a family and having kids and getting married,” she said.
Aborady allegedly traveled to visit Hammond. While he was there, Hammond received a video “of him jerking off to another girl and he was talking about how he wanted to f – – k her in that video,” she said.
A second video, posted on TikTok on October 18, shows messages Hammond alleges are from this same man, though his name is blocked out from the screenshots.
Today, she posted two more videos about the situation. Though Hammond says she blocked the contestant, he was still viewing her social media off his dog’s account. An Instagram profile for the account shown in screenshots, DapperDanAndAMan, does not appear to currently exist on Instagram.
The Post has reached out to ABC and Warner Bros for comment.
In addition to the claims made by Tyler C. on the show, Aborady is also seen in promos yelling at Crawley. He’s called her “immature” and was taken aback by her behavior on the most recent episode.
“The Bachelorette” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
