Why did Hayden Markowitz skip 'The Bachelorette: Men Tell All' special'? Fans dub him 'coward'

Hayden is the most hated man in bachelor nation rn #bachelorette #TheBachelorette,' declared a fan

BURBANK, CALIFORNIA: It looks like 'The Bachelorette' Season 19 suitor Hayden Markowitz isn't going to be let off the hook for his questionable behavior on the show any time soon. After criticizing Gabby Windey by calling her "rough around the edges" while dumping her to pursue Rachel Recchia, and later referring to both the ladies as "b****es' who didn't compare to his ex, Hayden instantly became one of the most hated men of the season.

Though it was a cathartic moment to watch him get dumped by Rachel later in the season, fans however were hoping for him to be held accountable for his behavior during the "Men Tell All' special. While all the men, including Logan Palmer, and Jacob, who were dubbed the villains of the season, showed up, Hayden and Chris Austin, decided to skip it. The show host- Jesse Palmer mentioned their absence in passing without revealing any details on as to why two of the most problematic men of the season were absent from the special episode. This led to fans speculating if Hayden chose to sit out to avoid facing the repercussions for his behavior.

Many fans took to Twitter to call out Hayden for not showing up to the tell-all special and doling out a heartfelt apology like Jacob. A fan tweeted, "Hayden watching #MenTellAll from home after being too coward to show up #thebachelorette." "At least Hayden stayed home this time with Rambo instead of ditching him and taking his comfort toy in search of fame… #bachelorette #TheBachelorette," wrote a fan. "Hayden is the most hated man in bachelor nation rn #bachelorette #TheBachelorette," declared a fan. "Hayden could have maybe saved (a little bit of) face if he came and gave a genuine apology (with Jacob’s being a great example). He didn’t even try, which makes me think he still wasn’t wrong. #MenTellAll #TheBachelorette," added a fan. "Hayden is being a real baby back b**** by not showing up #TheBachelorette," mocked a fan.

Fans also slammed the showrunners' decision to have him on 'Bachelor in Paradise'. A fan shared, "Hayden shouldn’t be allowed to go on Paradise and skip the Tell All. That’s some bull #TheBachelorette #bachelorette." "OH IM SORRY. That little ugly b**** Hayden couldn’t show up to #MenTellAll but he showed up to #BIP??? #TheBachelorette," wondered a fan. "Hayden couldn’t show up to the Men Tell All but still gets invited to paradise? #TheBachelorette," echoed a fan.

After Hayden's elimination episode was aired on tv, he took to his Instagram to apologize for his poor choice of words and actions. A few days later, he took down his apology without any explanation. While Hayden is yet to reveal the reason behind his absence, just like the fans, his co-stars too slammed his absence. 

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