- Bachelor Nation’s Bekah Martinez spoke out against Garrett Yrigoyen for posting an Instagram supporting law enforcement during ongoing protests about police brutality and racism in this country.
- Garrett reacted by uninviting Bekah from his home.
Bachelorette Becca Kufrin’s fiancé Garrett Yrigoyen uninvited Bachelor contestant Bekah Martinez from his home (um, kay) due to her calling out his support for the police. Garrett hit Insta on Thursday asking people not to judge “all cops,” during a time when people in every single state have come together for peaceful protests against police brutality and in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
“With so many friends and family in law enforcement, I couldn’t sit back and not support them and the hundreds of thousands of men and women of all races that represent this Thin Blue Line as well,” he wrote per Us Weekly. “We can’t judge an entire group of people by the actions of a few. We can’t judge the peaceful protesters by the actions of the few violent protesters, and we sure can’t judge all cops by the actions of a few bad ones.”
Bekah shut Garrett down in a comment on his post, writing in part:
“Wow wow wow. So interesting that you stay silent about black lives but just HAVE to speak out about cops. You’ve made your views known before and here’s a great reminder that not much has changed.”
Garrett then screenshot Bekah’s comment and said she’s “no longer invited over” to his and Becca Kufrin’s home. To quote: “I remember you saying how much you loved me to Becca and you made a mistake for judging me in the past without knowing me…needless to say you never got to know me, still don’t know me, and you’re no longer invited over.”
Yeah. Something tells me she won’t be losing any sleep over getting uninvited.
