'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer' star Carolyn Moore dubbed 'gold digger' by fans

After hearing Carolyn speculating Kurt as the millionaire, fans took to Twitter to call her out for pursuing Kurt just for his money

Eighteen drop-dead gorgeous women were handpicked to compete on FOX's latest dating show 'Joe Millionaire: For Richer or Poorer'. But before you write off the show as just another dating show, the showrunners spiced up the show by picking not one but two bachelors- Kurt Sowers and Steven McBee to star on the show. The twist is that one of the men (Steven) is a real millionaire, while the other (Kurt) isn't, and the women have no idea about the identity of the rich bachelor. Giving them an opportunity to form genuine connections without financial status coming in the way.

From day one Kurt was drawn to 30-year-old Carolyn Moore. Luckily for him even she happened to be attracted to him. Before things could go any further with them, Carolyn explained to Kurt that she has a son from her previous relationship and made it very clear that her son and his father would remain an integral part of her life. Kurt was initially a bit thrown off on learning about her past but continued to be attracted to her. While Kurt seems to be developing genuine feelings for her, fans however seem to be convinced that Carolyn is pursuing him just for his money and labeled her 'gold digger'.

Carolyn played smart and picked to go on a casual date with Kurt.

Carolyn too took to Twitter to clarify that she wasn't a gold-digger. She explained, "A man’s financial status has never mattered to me (I make my own ), and what I felt for Kurt happened before I even knew the premise of the show. Gotta make good tv I guess! #joemillionaire."
