Jesse Palmer's season had controversy from the beginning of the show. In the first rose ceremony, he said the wrong woman's name.
Rachel Lindsay was the franchise's first black "Bachelorette" star. One of her contestants, Lee Garrett's murky social media past landed him in trouble with fans and Lindsay.
"I hope that in watching it back, you realize that you were a part of something so great. But in case you didn't, please know that you can exit stage left and meet me backstage, and I will be more than happy to give you a black history lesson, a lesson on women's rights."
Contestant Leo Dottavio finished in the top six of "Bachelorette" star Becca Kufrin's season. However, former "Bachelor" contestant Bekah Martinez took to Instagram claiming she had received claims from many women that Dottavio had engaged in misconduct of a sexual nature. He took to Instagram at the time, writing:
"There have been some recent stories about me that have garnered attention and I want to address them. I want to start by saying no one has ever accused me of sexual harassment. No one has ever come to me in any way and told me I made them feel uncomfortable. However, I am not a perfect person nor have I ever claimed to be."
Season 11 of "The Bachelorette" saw producers change the layout of the show. They decided to have two potential bachelorettes on the first night.
Britt Nilsson and Kaitlyn Bristowe both appeared on the season's premiere and met the 25 guys who were the contestants for the season. The men then voted which of the ladies would become the lead. In the end, Bristowe was chosen.
Season four of "Bachelor In Paradise" temporarily ended in controversy after Warner Bros. announced that filming was suspended. The company revealed that allegations of sexual misconduct were the cause behind the suspension. An encounter between contestants Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson led a producer to file a report.
