'The Bachelorette' 2022: Erich accuses Gabby of 'cheating', annoyed fans slam him for manipulation

'Do any of these idiot men even watch the show??? It’s not CHEATING, this is the whole premise of the bachelorette ?? #TheBachelorette,' wrote a fan

MEXICO: There always has to be some drama during the highly-anticipated fantasy suites week on 'The Bachelorette'. For the ongoing season 19, Gabby Windey's suitor Erich Schwer managed to raise quite a few eyebrows when he accused Gabby of 'cheating' on him by exploring her connections with her other suitors.

After his overnight date with Gabby, Erich later popped in to share his thoughts with her. He began by expressing how deeply he was in love with her, which in turn made it very difficult for him to watch her go on overnight dates with other men. He called it cheating and admitted that he wasn't comfortable with it. Erich's words left Gabby in shock, as she felt that he was trying to control her. The ICU nurse broke down in her confessional explaining how one shouldn't be controlling or trying to test their partner when in love. She began second-guessing her connection with the New Jersey native.

'The Bachelorette' fans too sided with Gabby and slammed Erich for attempting to manipulate Gabby by calling her fantasy suites experience "Cheating". A fan tweeted, "Accusing the Bachelorette of cheating? she is literally fulfilling her job contract. #TheBachelorette #bachelorette." "Do any of these idiot men even watch the show??? It’s not CHEATING, this is the whole premise of the bachelorette ?? #TheBachelorette #bachelorette," wrote a fan. Another fan added, "Men using “sharing my feelings” under the guise of manipulation is getting real old. Erich’s seen the show. He knows what happens this week & comparing it to cheating is straight manipulation. How does that word even enter the convo? #TheBachelorette." "Does anybody buy this 'fantasy suites is cheating' play? They know what they signed up for so unless they're just entirely bonkers this is entirely manufactured #TheBachelorette," commented a fan.

Interestingly enough Gabby's other two suitors- Jason and Johnny, were already hesitant about taking their relationship with her to next level and getting engaged to her. Johnny admitted the same to Gabby during their overnight date, and she sent him back home. Jason too appeared to be ready to take a leaf from Johnny's book and coming clean to Gabby about not being ready, leaving only Erich in running to win Gabby's heart. Fans pointed out how Erich's insecurity and controlling nature may have sabotaged his chances with Gabby. A fan shared, "The funny thing about Erich pulling out the “controlling jerk” card is hey man! Johnny just left with no fantasy suite and we’ve already seen there’s a good chance Jason also would! If you’d just shut up it woulda been fine! #TheBachelorette." "The fact that Erich told Gabby If she sleeps with the other men, It’s almost like cheating. seriously Erich, you know what you signed up for and trying to manipulate her choice isn’t a good look. #TheBachelorette," pointed out a fan. "Erich telling Gabby he feels like she’s cheating because she’s dating Jason is f*ckin crazy. Bro you literally went back and forth between both women. Get your stank a** outta here #GTFOH #bachlorette #bachelor #BacheloretteABC #BacheloretteParty #bachelorettes #TheBachelorette," reminded a fan.

'The Bachelorette' Season 19 airs on Tuesdays at 8/7c on ABC.
