'The Bachelor' Bekah Martinez dubbed 'stupid' for getting Botox while breastfeeding and lying on intake forms
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Currently, Bekah Martinez is facing a wave of criticism for discussing her views on receiving Botox injections while breastfeeding. The former 'The Bachelor' contestant took to her Instagram Story to share her thoughts on the controversial topic.
In an Instagram Story, she wrote, "Highly recommend botox for jaw tightness and TMJ!! it actually works for real."
In the video shared, the reality TV star can be heard saying, "We're about to get in the car though and I'm about to go get botox. I have not gotten botox for aesthetic reasons since like Spring 2022 but my dentist actually recommended I started getting it in my masseters for my TMJ issues."
Bekah added, "And whenever people used to tell me to do that like friends and I was like you guys are just gwtting botox but actually it has helped so much."
Then, a user slid into her DMs and asked her, "While breastfeeding?? I was told I can't get it while breastfeeding," to which Bekah replied, "I lie on the intake forms. lol there have never been studies on botox while breastfeeding which is why it's not recommended but if you do a little research a lot of eperts agree it's fine."
Soon after, netizens shared their take on the whole matter. A Reddit user said, "She’s truly a masochist on her social media. She loves getting people mad at her."
Followed by a user who wrote, "I'll never understand how can anyone stan this woman. She r/NotLikeOtherGirls through life so hard that she drags her kids in it. Also that explanation is giving anti-vax."
One user said, "She went so crunchy she ended up alt right lol. look her up on this sub. she’s super problematic. followed some anti-trans trad wife stuff iirc." One comment read, "She's truly a master of ragebait." Another user said, "It’s never been studied but you could research” girlllllllll be serious."
Another user said, "Lying on medical intake forms is stupid, but she’s right that A LOT of medical experts agree Botox while breastfeeding is safe. I’ve looked into it myself and that was my conclusion as well."

Did ‘The Bachelor’ alum Bekah Martinez get a nose job?
In February 2018, Bekah Martinez took the time to respond to the numerous rumors swirling around her regarding plastic surgery. Shortly thereafter, she found herself thrust into the spotlight as a trending topic online when authorities in California mistakenly included her on a missing persons list.
It was only after someone recognized her from her appearance on the popular television show 'The Bachelor' that Bekah was swiftly removed from the list. Despite the whirlwind of events, her primary concern appeared to be the photo used by authorities and its potential implications on her reputation.
“Honestly the scariest thing about this whole story is that my efforts to conceal The Worst Drivers License Photo Of All Time have been thwarted,” she shared on X. In a separate tweet, she wrote, “Let’s play a game: russian nesting doll or bachelor contestant?”
“I never got a freaking nose job, it’s called contouring, people, look it up. It’s just overall a very unflattering picture of me [from] when I was 15," she explained on her Instagram Story.
