'The Bachelorette' Season 20: Did Brayden Bowers call Charity Lawson 'classless'? Fans slam producers as they demand to see clip

The 27-year-old Georgia native and family therapist was a star on Zach Shallcross' season of 'The Bachelor'

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA: During her current tenure as the star of 'The Bachelorette,' Charity Lawson has seen a different side of an early front-runner.

Bachelor Nation is already questioning producers, demanding to see a video of Brayden Bowers calling the lead "classless."

The 27-year-old Georgia native and family therapist was a star on Zach Shallcross' season of 'The Bachelor' earlier this year.

She returns for a second chance at love as the star of Season 20 of the ABC dating show, which concludes Monday, August 21.

The controversy surrounding Adrian Hassan informing Charity that Brayden, who received the first impression rose, called Charity "classless" during a group date, including her more than four-minute kiss with competitor Joey Graziadei, is one of the recurring stories. Here's how the show addressed the rumor on Men Tell All.

Did Brayden Bowers call Charity Lawson 'classless'?

When the boys discussed Charity's notorious 'Longest Kiss in Bachelor History' group date and Brayden's infamous reaction, Brayden called Adrian out for telling Charity he thought she was "classless."

Brayden denied saying it and asked Jesse Palmer, "Do we have the tape or not?" He even asked the studio audience whether he meant "classless," and when the audience cried "YEAH!" in unison, he added, "Apparently maybe I did."

Before the show went to commercial, a title card flashed the following words, "A search was made for footage of Brayden calling Charity 'classless.' So far, no footage has surfaced."

Unfortunately, Season 20, Episode 2 is no longer available on Hulu. As a result, the rest of the world may never know.

Others demand, "Instead of bloopers, show us whatever peter supposedly did to these men… or show us brayden saying classless." One fan claimed, "I REMEMBER HIM SAYING CLASSLESS I AM FINDING IT RN, THEY AINT GONNA LIE FOR THIS MAN."
