Season 21 Bachelor contestant Taylor Nolan and former Bachelor Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s beef began when Taylor called him out for posting social media polls about people's presidential voting preferences during election night in 2020. She said in an Instagram video, "What is up with all these Bachelor white dudes posting polls to see how people are going to vote on s—t like abortion and the president and climate change like it's some kind of funny game?"
Arie later clapped back at the Let's Talk About It podcast host after she shared an ad for a sex toy on Instagram. His comment read. "Love how you came after me for posting an election poll but you're advertising masturbation pads or whatever [SIC] hell this is…classy."
In response, Taylor—who is a licensed sex therapist—called the Bachelor's words "laughable" and stated that they promoted "sex-shaming and sex negativity."
