“Jamie’s apology was not genuine”: Fans react to ‘The Bachelorette’ suitor’s apology to Michelle Young

The Bachelorette Season 18 streamed a new dramatic episode on ABC where Michelle Young’s ex-suitors arrived to share their experience on the show. One of the controversial men was Jamie Skaar, who was given a separate welcome on stage.

Hosts Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe questioned him on why he put other suitors under the bus. Skaar kept on defending himself and his intentions as he said that his words were taken in the wrong way.

"Part of going through and figuring out how we feel about things is that we have to vent it too. Like, you have to get it out."

He added:

"I was in an emotional extreme of feeling like I need to get out of here, and those were the words that I expressed to justify feeling like I wanted to get out. And I took a lot of care while we were on the show to not talk about anybody in a negative manner."

One could see through the expressions of the hosts, audience and the men that nobody was trusting Skaar’s words. He was later put on the spot again when Michelle Young arrived on the stage and called out his “gaslighting."

When it seemed like Young got the last word, Skaar spoke and apologized to everyone. His apology didn’t go down well with the fans, who thought it wasn't genuine.

Why was Jamie Skaar eliminated from The Bachelorette?

In one of the early episodes, Skaar was seen discussing with the men that Young knew Joe Coleman even before The Bachelorette. Later, he went ahead and told Young that the guys were questing her character.

As the fifth-grade teacher confronted everyone, nobody said anything. After she left, the suitors wanted to find out who spilled the beans, but Skaar kept his mouth shut. However, Young found out about it and asked Skaar to leave as he broke her trust.

Even after coming out of the resort, Skaar didn’t apologize for his behavior, but showed his displeasure for being targeted by the haters online.
