'The Bachelor' season 23 is nearing its end with just the two-night finale left. Looking back to the season when it just began, fans and viewers were skeptical if the series was going to keep up to its claims of it being the most dramatic season ever. 

A total of 30 women entered the mansion with hopes of winning Colton Underwood's heart. But sadly not everyone could, and now we are left with the final two after Cassie Randolph walked away. Through this journey, we witnessed immense drama and emotions. Among all the contestants we met when the season premiered, there was one contestant who faced a lot of controversies. 

It wasn't for her appearance on the show, but the controversies were from tweets that she had posted years ago. And that contestant is none other than Tracy Shapoff. Tracy in her tweets had fat shamed people, mocked those with disabilities and even those who appear on dating shows. When the controversy resurfaced she took to social media and apologized for her mistakes stating that she is sorry for those extremely hurtful words.
