'Bachelorette' contestant walks out following strip dodgeball game: ‘I'm ashamed to be associated with you’
The Bachelorette’s Clare Crawley was confronted Tuesday night by one of her very own suitors following last week’s controversial dodgeball game. Yosef Aborady was upset over the game, in which the losers were pressured by Clare to strip naked. While Yosef was not one of the contestants involved, he wanted to speak to Clare on the matter.
“I was absolutely appalled at the group date that occurred yesterday,” said Yosef. “There were naked guys playing dodgeball together. It's so humiliating and degrading, and I don't see how that really translates into finding a husband.”
While Clare has not directly spoken out about the dodgeball game that resulted in four completely naked men being asked to hug her, she did respond to one tweet criticizing her. She posted a picture from a pet adoption promotion that was done during Juan Pablo Galavis’ season of The Bachelor, seven years ago.

While Yosef was not one of the men involved in the game, he says it still affected him. “Like, I'm ashamed to be associated with you,” he said. “I can't believe I sacrificed so much to be here just to watch this distasteful and classless display.”
Many viewers responded to the confrontation on social media, with several supporting Yosef.

I hate Yosef but he has a valid point and Clare wasn’t putting up with it. If the Bachelor did strip dodgeball he’d never hear the end of it. For her to think that was okay is absolutely unacceptable. Shame on you @Clare_Crawley #bachelorette

Why is the Bachelorette trying to make Yosef the villain when it’s clearly Claire #bachelorette

I’m just saying that if Clare and Yosef’s big fight is about his discomfort with the strip dodge ball... I might be on his side 🤷?♀?#bachelorette

While fans thought Yosef made some valid points, he may have gone a little overboard. He not only pointed out that Clare was about to turn 40, he also said she was a bad example for his daughter.
Invoking the similar speech she gave Juan Pablo, Clare said, “Do not ever talk to me like that. I never thought I'd ever have to tell any man that I would never want them being the father of my child, and I stand by that. I would never want my children having a father like you. Get outta here.”
As Clare walked away crying, Yosef exited the compound in a production vehicle.
The Bachelorette airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
