Bachelor Contestant Shanae's Comments On Mental Health Have Viewers Seeing Red
Olivia Owen According to Yahoo, Shanae Ankney caused some serious drama during the Monday, January. 10 episode of "The Bachelor." It started when Shanae was chosen to go on a group date with Clayton Echard and some other contestants. During the outing, Ankney seemingly got jealous of fellow contestant Elizabeth Corrigan monopolizing Echard's time. Ankney then decided to speak to Echard, telling him that Elizabeth was "two-faced" after she ignored her during a pool day. Later, when the women sat down for a conversation, Elizabeth told Shanae about some mental health issues that she experiences.
"So I want to expose something about myself," Elizabeth told Shanae. "It's really hard for me to have multiple auditory inputs because I can't process the information. I have ADHD. I've had it really bad since I was a kid," she added. Ankney went on to tell the other contestants that Elizabeth has ADHD without her permission and even went as far as to claim that she was lying about her diagnosis. Later in the episode, Shanae mocked Elizabeth's ADHD again, angering many viewers, who took to social media to speak out.
"The audacity of Shanae to shame Elizabeth for having ADHD. This shouldn't be allowed at all. Mental health is no joke!" a viewer tweeted. "Very disappointed the Bachelor didn't put up a full screen about mental health after that episode. Especially after Shenae made fun of it and laughed about it," tweeted another.
It seems that Ankney is quickly becoming an issue in the "Bachelor" house.
