JoJo Fletcher’s runner-up on her season of “The Bachelorette” can’t figure out how Lincoln Adim got on the show, because the screening process probes for past crimes. We got Robby Hayes Wednesday in Venice and asked if ‘Bachelorette’…

Amanda Stanton and Robby Hayes: Feuding on Twitter!
Though Amanda Stanton has talked abut her exes before, a recent vague tweet about an unnamed ex prompted Robby Hayes to come forward as the subject of her subtweet.
It was a mess.
Now Amanda is explaining why she shared what she did, and how she had never expected Robby to blow it out of proportion.
Amanda Stanton took to Twitter last week to share something truly bizarre that happened to her.
“I got a new debit card last month and got an email from an ex this morning.”
And it was more awkward than you’d think.
“Forwarding me an email that his Disneyland Annual Pass payment was declined & to update my card info…”
Which struck her as him asking her to continue to pay for his Disneyland pass. Absurd.
“I sure know how to pick em.”
Amanda’s cheating ex, Robby Hayes, decided to reveal that he had sent the email. He explained his actions on Twitter, writing:
“Lol is this how it happened or was I was trying to help you poor thing?”
His false sympathy after clearly feeling defensive about his email … did not go over well.
But as Amanda Stanton explains to E!, she had never meant to strike a never with him.
“It’s a shame he still harbors such harsh emotions towards me.”
They’ve been broken up for months, now. It seems that she didn’t expect him to be so touchy … or even to see her tweet.
She goes on to say that she wishes him “nothing but happiness and peace for him.”
That’s very kind of her to say.
Now that Dean Unglert is done with The Bachelor: Winter Games and has sadly broken up with Lesley Murphy (even though they were so cute together),
Deanie Babies has an aptly named show on iHeartRadio titled Help! I Suck at Dating, which was clearly inspired by his disastrous Bachelor in Paradise love triangle.
“I guess what I was so confused about is that it’s been eight months and I have obviously moved on with my life.”
That email came out of the blue.
“I haven’t talked to Robby in forever; that’s the first time I’ve heard from him.”
Understandably, she didn’t feel like keeping in touch given how thngs ended (with him being exposed as an alleged cheater).
Amanda explains what went down.
“I checked my e-mail and I saw that he forwarded me his Disneyland membership…I got a new [credit card], and so his payment was being declined.”
Awkward.
“The funny thing is he can say he thought it was going to collections, but there was an option there to update your card information.”
If your card is no longer paying for a service like that, it doesn’t usually go to collections. The service just stops. It’s a day pass to a theme park.
Amused, she decided to share it.
“I just thought it was funny he was forwarding it to me other than putting his own card information on there.”
Now she has come to regret that decision.
“I think my mistake is saying anything on Twitter. I did think it was funny and that’s why I said something.”
She says that she had not realized that he would view this as an antagonistic tweet.
“I had no idea and I was completely shocked that he reacted the way that he did. It was just a funny tweet. I wasn’t even throwing shade at him nor did I hint that it was about him.”
She had zero intentions of unveiling Robby as the culprit.
“I wasn’t going to ever tell anyone it was about him.”
He told the world himself, for some reason.
“I was actually pretty embarrassed by it, because when I tweeted it, I never expected that to happen, nor did I want attention from it.”
A lot of tweets that blow up like hers did were never intended to do so.
“So, I guess I was confused why he reacted that way, because no one would have known it was about him.”
One wonders why he decided to draw attention to himself in this manner.
“I don’t know if he just wants attention, and that’s why part of me doesn’t even want to talk about it, because I feel like I’m giving him what he wants.”
Amanda then comes in with a pretty damning but possibly spot-on assessment of Robby’s motives.
“Like, he doesn’t even care that it made him look bad! I feel like he just wants attention — whether it’s good or bad.”
There are a lot of people like that in the world.
Oh well. Lesson learned, we guess.
And this isn’t the first time that Robby has done something that Amanda didn’t expect.

NFL"s Robby Anderson Off the Hook In Wife-Banging Speeding Arrest

Amanda Stanton Talks Robby Hayes, Josh Murray, & Becoming the Bachelorette!
Amanda Stanton finished her latest tour of Bachelor in Paradise last fall, but fans have questions.
Has she spoken to that cheater Robby Hayes? For that matter, is she in touch with Josh Murray? Will she answer the hopes and dreams of countless fans by becoming the next leading lady of The Bachelorette?
Finally, Amanda is speaking out and, believe it or not, answering all of those questions.
Amanda Stanton won a lot of fans on the 20th season of The Bachelor, but it was Lauren Bushnell who won the heart of Ben Higgins.
You know, for a while.
Amanda then went on to Bachelor in Paradise, where she and Josh Murray became a couple. Unfortunately, their breakup was so dramatically unpleasant that police were called.
Yikes.
This last season of Bachelor on Paradise didn’t do her much good, either.
Not only did she have to defend herself against mom-shamers for appearing on the show, she didn’t exactly get a happy ending.
She became romantically entangled with Robby Hayes.
Unfortunately, he allegedly became “entangled” with someone else.
Amanda Stanton tweeted a photo of Robby’s cheating to prove it to the world.
A lot of nonsense goes on in Paradise; that’s basically the point of the show. But we should all be able to agree that Amanda deserves better.
Well, Amanda Stanton opened up to Us Weekly about the many topics that have aroused the curiosity of fans.
For starters, she is so not talking to Robby Hayes.
Josh Murray, despite the drama in their past, is another story.
“I talk to Josh here and there.”
She is, at first, cautious about talking about this. She doesn’t want to give false hope to shippers.
“I mean nothing more than a friendly conversation.”
But Amanda and Josh are on what we’d call unusually good terms for a pair of exes.
She acknowledges that things were bad when they ended things, but emphasizes that things are so much better, now.
“We had such a bad breakup, and so it’s nice to just not have that drama anymore and just be cool with each other.”
Gwen Stefani wrote a whole dang song about that. (“Cool” is, in fact, my favorite song of hers)
“Because he was around my kids and we did have a good relationship for the most part. So it’s good to be on good terms.”
In fact, she and said children (Kinsley and Charlie) apparently FaceTimed Josh Murray after her return from this past season in Paradise.
But then comes the big question. The one that matters.
Those men are in her past, but what lies in her future? Might she be The Bachelorette?
Amanda shatters the hearts of fans as she sounds very certain that she’ll no longer be looking for love on camera.
“I’m done for sure.”
Heartbreaking. But she makes it clear that this isn’t sour grapes speaking.
“I’m so grateful for the opportunity, and like overall I had such a good experience and don’t regret anything.”
Still, her air of finality remains.
“But I think I’m done.”
“I’ve had my fair share of chances.”
Does she really believe that she missed her chance to find love on screen? Or is she just sick of having her heartbreak broadcast to the world?
For the record, she spoke to Us Weekly at a speed dating event, so her brand is at least still tied to the quest for love.
But it sounds to us like Amanda was mostly just being dismissive of returning for yet another season of Bachelor in Paradise.
If she got an offer to become the Bachelorette … would she really turn that down?
We’re not so sure.

Jets" Robby Anderson Pleads Not Guilty In Crazy Speeding Arrest
NY Jets star Robby Anderson has pled NOT GUILTY to several felony charges stemming from his January arrest … in which the officer claims the WR threatened to find his wife, “f*ck her and nut in her eye.” As we previously reported … cops say…

Jets Player Robby Anderson Arrested, Threatens to Nut in Eye of Cop"s Wife
Early Friday morning, Robby Anderson, wide receiver for the New York Jets (a football team), was arrested.
The charges include reckless driving, resisting arrest, evading police, and threatening a public servant. But those charges barely scratch the surface.
Among other things … he threatened to “nut” in a police officer’s wife’s eye. His words, not ours.
It started off on what we assume to be a pretty run-of-the-mill morning in Florida, based upon everything that we’ve heard about Florida Man over the years.
In South Florida, police detected a vehicle driving 105 miles per hour in a 45 mph zone. That’s … not great.
This time, the celebrity speeder wasn’t Justin Bieber, but Robby Anderson. Who, as we mentioned, is a professional athlete.
Maybe he was somehow not paying attention, maybe he was thinking of crossing over into another sport — race car driving. Who knows?
Whatever the reason, he was allegedly traveling more than twice the legal speed limit.
Based upon police descriptions, Robby Anderson noticed when police were trying to pull him over.
Instead of finding a safe place to pull over and slowing his vehicle, he allegedly doubled down on reckless driving, running multiple red lights.
Per police reports, he was also swerving from one lane into another while attempting to evade police.
Folks, please don’t try those sorts of maneuvers at home. Or anyone.
Eventually, Robby Anderson did stop his vehicle. But when he did, the police say that they had a new ordeal to face — Robby’s reluctance to allow them to place him in the back of a police car.
According to the police report, obtained by NJ.com, Robby Anderson’s bad behavior still wasn’t over.
“While in the back of my patrol vehicle, Robert stated that when he got out he was going to find my wife, f–k her, and nut in her eye.”
He said WHAT?!
(In case you’re unfamiliar with the term and the context doesn’t clear, nut means orgasm or, in this case, ejaculate)
“He continued to make other verbal threats toward my family.”
Vague but still not good.
“Based on his statements it was clear that he intended to sexually assault my wife.”
We imagine that Robby Anderson’s attorney may argue that Robby was simply threatening to seduce the officer’s wife.
“He also began to brag about how much money he has and how all I was doing was trying to ‘Ruin his fun."”
Classy.
Based upon Robby Anderson’s social media activity from Thursday, we can infer that he was grieving a lost relationship.
(He may have just had a breakup)
If so, perhaps he was not handling his sense of loss very well. We don’t mean to suggest that he was using any illicit substances, but it’s possible that he had been too upset to go to sleep.
It’s also possible that he was just not in a great mood and that this led him to make some terrible choices.
None of that is an excuse for literally anything for which he is accused.
But it might, at least, be an explanation.
Pro-tip: don’t do the things of which Robby Anderson is accused. Especially not making threats against a police officer’s family.
Police don’t like it. Fans don’t like it. And prosecutors, courts, and judges really don’t like it.
This isn’t Robby’s first brush with the law in Florida.
Last year, he was arrested at a Miami music festival. That time, he was also charged with resisting arrest. And also with obstruction of justice.
Robby might need to make some better choices.
NY Jets WR Robby Anderson Arrested, Still Locked Up
NY Jets WR Robby Anderson was arrested in Florida early Friday morning — and he’s still behind bars. According to jail records, Anderson is facing 9 total charges including resisting arrest, reckless driving, speeding and something called,…

Amanda Stanton Tweets Photo of Robby Hayes" Alleged Cheating
Amanda Stanton and Robby Hayes came across as the little couple that could during Bachelor in Paradise Season 4, but then the season finale rolled around and blindsided everyone.
During the live segment of the ABC show’s season finale, viewers were shocked to learn that Amanda and Robby were by no means in a relationship and were not even on talking terms.
The talk quickly turned to a picture Amanda had that allegedly proved her man was cheating.
“That’s false. [There] were pictures of me close to a girl but I was not by any means unfaithful,” Hayes alleged as he maintained that he was innocent.
“The picture did look like y’all were making out. … If you’re saying you didn’t, I believe you. You were there, not me. But it did look like it,” Amanda replied as Robby looked like he was going to burst into tears upon realizing that he would never be making Amanda avocado toast again.
But the drama was not all saved for the reunion spectacular, and Robby took to Twitter yesterday with a lengthy statement in response to being dragged on social media for his actions.
“While I won’t be one to resort to vicious social media attacks, at the finale, I felt like I was sitting next to a stranger,” he wrote in a lengthy message.
“I’ll never understand why there’s such a desperate need to present an ‘innocent persona’ and resort to allowing allegations that are blatantly untrue be said about me.”
Have a look at the statement in full below.
Robby felt very strongly about the whole situation.
Then, someone decided to call Amanda’s parenting into question, and the feud went nuclear.
Cami-Li, a model who has appeared in a string of U.K. reality TV shows, chimed in with her thoughts on the situation and went after Amanda in a scathing tweet.
“I believe @RobbyHHayes. Never trust a woman who leaves her kids to find a man. Nope,” she shared with her 184,000 followers.
To stick the knife in further, Robby retweeted it.
Have a look below.
Amanda has been mom-shamed for going on reality TV and leaving her kids behind in the past, so she decided it was time to share the picture that allegedly proved Robby cheated on her.
“Look what you made me do,” the 27-year-old captioned the below image.
That sure looks like Robby in a rather compromising situation with an unidentified individual. Twitter went into overdrive with emotions after the way Amanda exposed him.
She retweeted Taylor Swift GIFs that were sent her way from fans. To be fair, she did keep quiet until her kids were brought into the drama.
Considering her track record when it comes to dating people from Bachelor Nation, it’s understandable that she would want to take a new relationship slowly.
In any case, it’s probably a good thing she never went to the fantasy suite with Robby on Bachelor in Paradise because she would look very silly right about now.
Oh, and the feud is far from over. Robby has been silent since the incriminating image was released to the world, and Amanda has made it clear there’s plenty more to come.
“Sorry that just looks like she leaned over to talk over some loud noise that’s not kissing,” said one confused follower on Twitter.
“I have plenty more + videos. Plus multiple girls have came out and DM’d me with stories since…etc etc,” Amanda fired back.
All things considered, it sounds like Amanda has all the proof she needs to cut Robby out of her life for good, and we cannot blame her.

Amanda Stanton and Robby Hayes: Do They Stay Together?
When Amanda Stanton dismissed the idea of her being on The Bachelorette, she said that people wouldn’t like her in the role.
Even at the time, we weren’t sure that she wasn’t just avoiding spoiling what unfolded for her on Bachelor in Paradise. If she found love in Paradise, she wouldn’t have any business being the lead on The Bachelorette.
Well, now we know a little more about how far Amanda Stanton’s relationship with Robby Hayes progresses through the season, and … we get it.
If you watch Bachelor in Paradise online, you know that all kinds of stuff went down last night.
Dates jumped from one person to another. Matt just up and left before the Rose Ceremony, leaving the girl he’d been wooing on very thin ice.
(Proverbially, as it’s all kinds of hot in Mexico)
Dean made out with both of the ladies he’s courting, leaving some viewers confused, even though there’s nothing confusing about those baby blue eyes of his.
(Actually know all of that if you’ve read our latest Bachelor in Paradise recap)
But, also, Robby Hayes went in for a kiss and it ended up being on Amanda Stanton’s cheek.
It was … an awkward moment, to say the least.
Viewers wondered if Amanda was just trying to take things slow — as many would do if they’re after an engagement.
Or if she was just giving Robby the cold shoulder and politely sidestepping an unwanted kiss.
There was a third option that maybe fewer people considered.
Maybe Robby Hayes was just too sweaty, as apparently Josh Murray grossed out Amanda Stanton by sweating in the Mexico heat.
(Sweat is gross, don’t get us wrong, but … how do you not sweat when you’re in a tropically warm hellscape? We’ve never been and we genuinely don’t know)
Fair warning: if you read past this point, you’ll be in serious spoiler territory.
According to Reality Steve, Amanda Stanton and Robby Hayes do not get engaged at the end of this season of Bachelor in Paradise.
Reportedly, the two went their separate ways despite becoming closer during the series.
Now, Amanda and Robby have been spotted out and about together since Bachelor in Paradise stopped filming, which really sounds like engagement material.
But it’s always possible that they’re hanging out as friends.
It’s also super possible that, after everything with Josh Murray (more the police-being-called incident than the sweating), Amanda wants to take things slow and get to know people off camera.
Just about everybody you see on camera has a different persona for the public than they do in private.
You need honest communication to build a relationship.
(Though, arguably, you might need a few lies later on to hold the relationship together)
You know, not everybody finds love in Paradise.
Honestly, we don’t think that everyone even wants to.
So soon after ending things with Josh, Amanda may have just been there to further her reality career — treading water, so to speak.
(And to collect a paycheck)
We’re not accusing her of going there with dishonest intentions or anything, but it’s a possibility.
It’s also possible that she went there looking for love and didn’t find the right, perfect someone.
It’s also possible that she went there on a quest for a fiance only to realize that she needs to take more time than she has.
That’s not even an exhaustive list. We’ll just have to keep watching the rest of the season and find out.

"Bachelor in Paradise" Stars Robby Hayes & Amanda Stanton Scream New Couple Alert

Robby Hayes: What Happens in Paradise STAYS in Paradise!
While a couple of Bachelor in Paradise contestants have spoken out about what they did and did not witness on the set prior to production being shut down, it looks like others are keeping mum.
Robby Hayes announced that he has no comment in perhaps the most tasteless way imaginable, and he’s getting major backlash for it online.
“What happens in paradise, stays in paradise,” he tweeted, adding the hashtags “NoCommenta” and “BIP4.”
Dude … given speculation about what happened, that reads like a borderline rape joke. Not cool.
It would be a fine response if people were asking who drank the most or whether there was an orgy or about basically anything else but what sounds like a sexual assault.
But because people are very much talking about sexual assault, there is no excuse for appropriating the Vegas slogan for this.
Maybe he’s just thinking of this as a scenario of cheating — Corinne does have a real life boyfriend now, after all — and not wanting to tattle.
But nobody shuts down production because somebody stepped out on their significant other, or we wouldn’t have reality television at all.
And heck, if Robby was there, maybe from what he saw things didn’t look that serious.
But Robby should know that people are talking about consent and sexual assault, and he shouldn’t have such a lighthearted tone about it.
Especially if he isn’t going to “clear things up” or whatever.
Have some class, dude.
There’s only so much that we know so far, but allegedly Corinne Olympios and DeMario Jackson began hooking up in a pool after spending all day drinking.
There was reportedly a lot of touching and even some fingering, with DeMario engaging in some genital-licking.
And according to (mixed) reports, it’s been sounding like they were encouraged, possibly every step of the way, by producers.
What raises the most red flags is that, while DeMario remembers the encounter, Corinne does not.
And while sometimes that sort of thing just happens, we can’t imagine a network pulling the plug on an entire season so suddenly — and expensively — unless they worry that something truly awful has happened.
So far, no one is seriously accusing DeMario or Corinne of any wrongdoing.
And that includes Corinne not blaming DeMario — they were both super intoxicated.
It’s been sounding like, at the bare minimum, the producers and crew should have intervened and ushered them back to their respective rooms.
Honestly, even if they’d been sober, there’s so much of even a blurred sexual encounter that they could have gotten away with airing.
But when intoxication is a factor, consent is not, and any responsible bystander should have separated the two until they slept it off.
Some of the contestants, Robby included, must feel frustrated over being sent home. Some might even blame their pool-partying costars.
But there have been suggestions that the producers wanted something like this to happen, believing that the hookup would lead to higher ratings.
Corinne Olympios’ wild reputation would make her the perfect character for them to steer into thotting it up in the pool, right?
If that’s really what happened, then not only is it shameful — we’d say that getting two people drunk so that they’ll bang on camera is every bit as vile as getting them drunk so that they’ll bang you — but it backfired spectacularly.
Because it sounds like there’s basically zero chance of this season of Bachelor in Paradise happening.
As for what happened … we may not ever know the whole story, but for any investigators involved, we’re sure that the cameras caught plenty of evidence.
Honestly, we’d love to find out that this is just a minor sex scandal with no foul play and maybe just a producer who misunderstood the situation and freaked out a little.
And if that’s the case, Robby Hayes’ tweet would almost be justified.
But it would still be a tone-deaf response, given that fans have heard that the situation is worse than that.
Robby needs to get his act together and be less flippant if he wants fans to put up with him enough to continue his reality career.

Robby Hayes: Nick Viall Is Too Old to be Bachelor!
Robby Hayes is the latest The Bachelor franchise star to weigh on Nick Viall being cast on The Bachelor Season 21.
Hayes had his shot at love stolen from under him on the most recent season of The Bachelorette.
He survived all the way to the season finale, but narrowly lost out to Jordan Rodgers, who was quick to get engaged to JoJo Fletcher.
Naturally, Hayes was hurt by JoJo’s decision, but he wanted to make it clear that he still likes his love rival, Rodgers.
But he had to move on with his life.
There’s no point in dwelling in the past.
There has been a lot of controversy surrounding Viall’s casting on The Bachelor.
If you recall, Luke Pell was a slam dunk to be the new suitor, but a last minute decision forced Pell to unpack his suitcase and return to his life is a singleton.
Yes, he had flights booked and his case packed. That’s how close he was to being the suitor.
Yikes.
Changing things at the last minute appears to be common occurrence. Maybe it’s to keep the public somewhat surprised.
Any way you look at it, the producers could be better by making sure they know who they’re taking on in advance of signing any contracts.
It’s not fair to mess people around.
Hayes was quick to jump on the offense at Viall’s casting.
“I thought [producers] would go with someone younger, someone with a little more energy to bring to the table that frankly hasn’t been around the block a couple times,” he revealed.
Wow.
It’s one thing to make comments about Nick’s age, but saying he’s been around the block is just ludicrous.
Yes, Viall participated on two seasons of The Bachelorette and one season Bachelor in Paradise, but that doesn’t automatically mean he’s been around the block.
All the poor guy wants is a decent chance of finding the woman of his dreams. At least this time he’ll be the one choosing his woman.
He’ll actually be there on finale night this time round.
Maybe Hayes is miffed about the whole thing because he wanted someone from his season to show up.
If that’s the case, then that’s not how it works.
Hayes also chimed in with his two cents on whether he would star as The Bachelor.
“I would definitely consider it,” Hayes tells Us.
“With that being said, the scrutiny, the tabloid stuff, everything that comes along with it is hard for not just you, but for the family around you, the friends around you. … Your feelings get hurt. It would be something I would have to sit down and discuss with them. My immediate family, my friends, everyone around me. I’m not the only one that goes through it.”
He does have a point, but it’s hard to imagine in any situation that he would decline a request to appear on the show.
Even though he essentially dissed Viall, he made it abundantly clear that he wishes him the best on the show.
“I wish him the best,” the single stud says.
“I know how I felt going through it, and I hope he finds that love he’s been looking for.”
That’s nice of him!
What do you think about all of this?

Robby Hayes: The Next Bachelor?
He thought he had it in the bag, but Robby Hayes came up just short in the quest for JoJo Fletcher’s love on The Bachelorette season finale.
Might he find a second opportunity on ABC this winter?
While the runner-up from the previous season rarely gets the starring role the following go-around, none other than JoJo defied that trend.
Third- or fourth-place finishers tend to be the people tapped to dole out roses, and Luke Pell and Chase McNary certainly fit the bill.
Still, Robby Hayes ended this “journey” on such a high note, it’s not surprising that there’s been talk of him becoming the next Bachelor.
“It’s definitely something that’s crossed my mind. It’s definitely something I’d have to talk with my friends and my family about,” he says.
The 27-year-old says his reason for being open to it is simple:
“The reason I’m definitely open to it is because I know that this avenue and this journey works. It worked for me last season with JoJo.”
“I have no doubt that it could work for me again,” Hayes adds.
That doesn’t mean there wouldn’t be reservations involved.
As Jordan Rodgers and Hayes himself can attest, one’s entire life becomes subject to intense scrutiny by agreeing to be on this show.
“If that came knocking on my door, it’s definitely something I would be open to, but I would have sit down and talk to my family,” he says.
“Because they stressed so much about this season.”
In any case, it’s premature, Hayes says, because while there have “been mentions” of him becoming The Bachelor, “nothing is solidified.”
Hayes, whose drama with ex-girlfriend Hope Higginbotham might have been a bigger scandal were it not for Rodgers, is single for now.
Single, and ready to mingle … maybe. Soon.
Regardless of whether he ends up handing out roses on ABC, he shared an image of himself (above) giving one to deserving folks.
“Thank you so much for the overwhelming support everyone has been showing me over the past couple months,” he posted on Instagram.
“To my family, you have been my rock and you mean the world to me. Sometimes it’s the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.”
“This [rose] is for you!”
If Robby were the next Bachelor, where would he rank among the hottest to ever fill the reality TV role? Check out his competition below:

Robby Hayes: I Was Convinced JoJo Would Pick Me!
Every viewer dreads the moment that a contestant officially becomes a Bachelor/Bachelorette “runner-up.”
Such was the case for Robby Hayes, whose proposal JoJo Fletcher did not accept on last night’s finale.
“I was so caught off guard,” Hayes told People Magazine, adding that he was sure he was the only suitor left in Thailand.
“I was so confident in our relationship and my feelings for her. I had already been dreaming about our future together.”
While Hayes insists there are no hard feelings, he is bummed that he went through the whole proposal process, only to return home with a fiance. Which is kind of ridiculous, given what show he signed up for.
“The only thing I’m upset about is what was taken from me,” he said.
“I come from a very traditional family where marriage is a one time thing.
“But it’s not just the marriage. It’s the picking of the ring, the asking the parents for permission, giving the speech before you get down on one knee. JoJo took that from me and I can’t ever get it back.”
Again, The Bachelorette is a dating competition. If it makes Hayes feel any better, the universe is offer a do-over. In private. With just one girl and not a bunch of other guys.
“Everything I said was honest and from the heart,” Hayes said. “If I didn’t tell JoJo I loved her, I would have been lying.”
“JoJo will always hold a portion of my heart,” he continued. “I fell in love with her, and in falling in love, I attached strings. One of them was unconditional care for her. I want JoJo to be happy and if I’m not the guy, I understand.”
Hayes has nothing but love for Jordan Rodgers, the suitor Fletcher ultimately choose.
“I respect the hell out of that kid. I think he’s sincere. And if JoJo couldn’t find happiness with me, I wanted her to find it with someone else.”
Call me, Hayes. I’ll overlook the whole “proposed to another girl in Thailand” incident and we can go ring shopping.

Hope Higginbotham: Dating Robby Hayes Right Before The Bachelorette!
Last night on The Bachelorette, JoJo Fletcher expressed serious concerns about suitor Robby Hayes and his ex-girlfriend, Hope Higginbotham.
Well, now we have the real story …
Fans who watched the episode leading up to the hometown dates rose ceremony last night – it was filmed back in May – are all wondering:
What the hell was that all about?!
Robby Hayes and Hope Higginbotham‘s relationship took an oddly front-and-center role in the drama playing out on his date in Florida.
Specifically, when Robby had a conversation with his mother … who told him, in a serious tone, that Hope’s roommate was calling him out.
Publicly. For reasons unknown.
The accusation of the roommate, who Robby calls Alex, is that he abandoned his relationship with Hope to appear on The Bachelorette.
It was all very weird …
To wit, the All-Knowing Oracle of The Bachelorette spoilers, Reality Steve, states that Bachelorette producers came up with this nonsense.
Why, you ask?
Steve claims the show had Robby’s mom blame it on Hope’s roommate when, in reality, his suspicious breakup was reported by … Steve.
He claims he will publish an email from Hope that proves the story Robby tells on TV is quite different from what really happened, too.
According to Robby, his relationship with Hope was “so bad” that it was over nine months before it was actually over. Yes, he said this.
It’s as shady and vague as that sounds, if not more so. He went to Italy with Hope in November 2015, then they clearly had a nice Christmas:
According to Robby, his relationship with Hope was “so bad” that he should have “ended it nine months earlier,” he told JoJo last night.
But he didn’t – rather, he went to Italy with Hope in November 2015, something quite well documented on both of their Instagram pages.
Quoth Reality Steve:
“Robby & Hope went 2 Italy together in Nov of last yr. But according 2 him, the relationship was so bad, he should’ve ended it 9 mos earlier.”
“Then a month after Italy, on Xmas Day, they take this pic together,” he adds, sharing the above photo of the twosome from the holidays.
Pretty suspicious given his “nine months of misery” timeline and the fact that he left to film The Bachelorette this spring, wouldn’t you say?
According to one insider, Hope spent more time with Robby’s family “than she did with her own” and would she “loved him and his family.”
Others say that Robby is trying to get out in front of this story and trying to make it look like he’s “worked hard” to be honest with Fletcher.
As for H-squared?
Monday night, Steve promised his followers that he will share the contents of Hope Higginbotham’s email on his blog at some point today.
Stay tuned.

Robby Hayes: Will He Actually Win The Bachelorette?
One of many athletic, handsome, shady men seeking JoJo Fletcher’s heart, Robby Hayes has emerged as a frontrunner on The Bachelorette.
NOTE: The Bachelorette spoilers tell you all you need to know about the outcome this season, and are usually more accurate than not.
Let’s shelve that for the moment, though.
Based on his recent, amorous interactions with the woman of the hour, one gets the sense that he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
Very possibly to her detriment.
Before we get into the seedy aspects of Robby’s personal life – at least what the rumors are saying – let’s go over his positive attributes.
His Instagram often features his brothers and mom, and he listed his grandma as the one person he would most like to have lunch with.
So he’s totally a family man – and, like more than a few other suitors on the current season of the ABC guilty pleasure – an athletic one.
A member of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity at Florida State, Hayes set records in swimming en route to the U.S. Olympic Trials in 2012.
He was also a sales manager for Myrtha Pools USA, a model for Molinari Models and Talent, and is working on his Masters in Finance.
Robby Hayes is getting that degree at the University of Miami, when he’s not on reality shows at least. So he’s got a lot going for him.
Including a great deal of drama.
Before going on The Bachelorette, he lost a friend in a car accident, quit his job, and dumped his girlfriend of three years, Hope Higginbotham.
Later this season, Fletcher will ask if he dumped Hope to come on the program, much like JoJo grilled Jordan Rodgers this past Monday.
Should be interesting. Imagine if she knew that Chad Johnson is dating Hope Higginbotham now that he’s back from Bachelor in Paradise.
Seriously. Just insane trolling.
Whether or not Robby ends up with Fletcher’s final rose remains to be seen, but based on the situation with Hope and his dead friend?
Red flags. Just saying.
