Brittany Galvin Escort Scandal: Did 'The Bachelor' star 'manipulate' male friend to gift her $15,000 Dubai trip?
'The Bachelor' Season 25 is turning out to be quite the rollercoaster ride for the girls. Matt James is okay. He's enjoying the attention for now. But, it'll be interesting to see how he goes about choosing the right one because some of these ladies come with scandalous pasts. Will he let their history impact his decision, especially with new suitress Brittany Galvin? Only time will tell.
She shot to fame on day one, thanks to Anna Redman who made Brittany one of the most talked-about contestants. Anna claimed that the newcomer was an escort before she joined the roster on the ABC show. How true is that? An anonymous "friend" of Brittany's dished on her former-profession when he shared details from their international vacation with The Sun.
This friend makes it very clear that Brittany is not an escort but at the same time felt extremely used and taken advantage of after the $15,000 vacation left him financially and emotionally exhausted. "She knew I had a crush on her and used it to get to go on a very nice vacation," he said.
The reality show contestant wanted to get out of Chicago and the only way was to convince this "friend" to pay for all of their expenses incurred during the trip. How did that work out? Well, he did agree to go. Sadly for him, he probably didn't realize he would be spending most of his time alone in the hotel room while she was out meeting with other "friends". It's clear they didn't have sex and if his account of their vacay timeline is anything to go by, Brittany may have used him as a stepping stone to get what she wanted — a fancy holiday.
"Instead of telling people what really happened or just saying I went home, she tried to cast me as some crazy person, perhaps to deflect from the nature of her trip and how she had taken advantage of me," he informed the publication and added that Brittany may have avoided the "truth" about their trip because then it would make her sound like an escort. “It cost between $13K-$15K. She wanted to get out of Chicago and couldn’t afford to go there on her own. I would 100% say I was manipulated into going on the trip with her. I felt very taken advantage of and left because it became apparent to me the affection and attention given from her had been feigned," he said.
However, every story has two sides. Brittany went live on her Instagram to clap back at the rumors that have made her one of the scandalous suitresses of all time. "I am NOT an escort. And for the people who are, don’t let others tear you down. Keep sharing your stories with me because they are so powerful. I’m here to support you like how you have to me!" US Weekly quoted her from the live session where she also showed support for sex workers.
