Ashley Iaconetti Disapproves

This interview rubbed Ashley Iaconetti the wrong way.

“It disappoints me when I see that Kelly Ripa has such an ax to grind with The Bachelor franchise, every time we have a lead go on the show to promote it, she always seems to be so skeptical of — a little bit of the lead, and their decision to be the lead — and also just the process.”

There are a lot of people who love the show. Ashley also pointed out how there are many reality TV shows that are “much more trashy”. Bachelor is not one of those. Ashley found her husband, Jared, with the franchise as well. It does work for some people. They now have a beautiful marriage and life together.
