'The Bachelor' Season 26: Shanae slammed for 'ignorant' comments about mental illness

'Shanae is one of the worst contestants of all time,' declared a fan

It isn't a season of 'The Bachelor' without a villain or two. Unfortunately, the villain edit on the show usually involves someone who is not there for the right reasons or someone who is allegedly there for clout alone. And more often than not, these characters reveal themselves right from the get-go.

While Cassidy lost her rose and was asked to leave, it looks like Shanae has decided to take on her mantle. Shanae's feud with Elizabeth seems to be going on. And to add to it, she certainly appears ready to fight at the drop of a hat, that she is now stirring up drama.

After the group date, Shanae used her one-on-one time with Clayton to make up stories about how the women treated her poorly because of Elizabeth, all over a shrimp debacle. While she lied to Clayton, she later revealed that she was surprised he believed her in the confessionals. Clayton confronted Elizabeth, who by then had had enough of the drama. With other women being accused of bullying Shanae, the atmosphere seemed tense while the ladies demanded answers regarding the lies Shanae was feeding Clayton. Fans seemed over all the drama and chaos. 

"Amazed that this Shanae Elizabeth drama has managed to be like a 3 episode thing when it should've been a 40 min arc at most..or just not a thing because it's super agitating. #thebachelor" tweeted a fan. "Shanae is one of the worst contestants of all time #TheBachelor" added another. "Shanae deserves all the hate that goes her way… she truly is a despicable and disgusting person who deserves to be alone. #TheBachelor" added a fan.  

Fans also called her out for repeatedly making light of Elizabeth's ADHD and using it as a way to insult her. 
"I personally think Bachelor production should've removed Shanae for her continuing ignorant comments about mental illness. #TheBachelor" said a fan. "Her lying ADHD ass" girl as a teacher I am applaud. How the hell did no in production one step in and address her bringing up a disability in such a negative way though the last two episodes now. This show already has enough problems. Please get her off the screen #thebachelor" tweeted a fan. "Of course she had to drop this girl's ADHD diagnosis into the middle an insult. Of course, she did . #TheBachelor" tweeted another.
