Fans are expressing their anger after Jenn Tran, the star of “The Bachelorette” was compelled to view her proposal to Devin Strader on live television. This dramatic moment unfolded just weeks after he ended their engagement during a brief phone call and allegedly ghosted her.
In a first for the franchise, Tran proposed to Strader, rather than the other way around, but their engagement was short-lived.
During the live finale, host Jesse Palmer brought Tran on stage to reveal their breakup, which occurred over a month ago. Before showing the proposal clip, Tran shared her heartbreak with the audience.
“He said he no longer loved me and felt something was off since the moment he proposed. He regretted getting engaged,” she recounted through tears.
Tran accused Strader of ignoring her messages and ghosting her for the past month.
In a further emotional moment, she mentioned that Strader had no interest in couples counseling and had given up on their relationship entirely.
Palmer invited Strader to the stage, where Tran confronted him about his behavior, alleging he had been out partying and following new women on social media, including former “Bachelor” contestant Maria Georgas.
As Tran prepared to watch the proposal, she expressed her reluctance, asking, “Do I have a choice?”
As the proposal aired, cameras captured Tran sobbing as she viewed the moment where she declared her love and placed a ring on Strader’s finger.
Social media erupted with criticism of the producers for making her relive such a painful experience. Many users described the situation as cruel, highlighting that Tran had already faced humiliation from Strader.
Despite the emotional turmoil, Palmer encouraged Tran, reminding her of her strength and resilience, even as she navigated this challenging chapter in her life.
