The show came under fire when it was revealed that Garrett Yrigoyen, who was the recipient of the "First Impression" rose and the eventual winner, had liked various controversial Instagram posts.

On June 13, 2018, the show came under more fire for allowing contestant Lincoln Adim to participate in the show after he had been charged with groping and assaulting a woman on a harbor cruise ship on May 30, 2016. Adim was convicted of this crime after he finished filming and one week before the season premiered. [54] Adim will be registered as a sex offender. Warner Bros., who produces the show, claim that Adim lied about facing sexual misconduct charges and that they use a third-party company to conduct background checks, claiming: [55]
The report we received did not reference any incident or charge relating to the recent conviction ― or any other charges relating to sexual misconduct. We are currently investigating why the report did not contain this information, which we will share when we have it.
In January 2018, before being cast for The Bachelorette, Underwood had a brief relationship with The Bachelor season 22 contestant, Tia Booth.

Underwood was then eliminated. [56]

After Underwood disclosed to Kufrin that he was a virgin, Wendy Williams commented on her show that she "[doesn't] trust people that have never had a drink, a smoke, and [she doesn't] trust people that have never had sex". [58] Williams received criticism from some fans, saying she humiliated Underwood and that "virgin-shaming" was not okay. Underwood responded to Williams on Twitter by stating "Don't trust a virgin, but you'll trust your 3 baby daddies who cheat on you every weekend. Okay". [59] [60]
