‘The Bachelorette’ Season 21: Producers slammed for sending Hakeem Moulton on zoo date despite phobia
Melbourne, Australia: During the second episode of ‘The Bachelorette’ Season 21, Jane Tran went on a group date with a total of nine contestants at a local zoo. The guys who accompanied him on this trip included Austin Ott, Dylan Bakr, Hakeem Moulton, Jahan Ansari, John Mitchell, Sam McKinney, Spencer Conley, Thomas Nguyen and Thomas Azano.
The date was filled with fun and excitement as they explored the various exhibits and interacted with the animals. Each contestant had a chance to showcase their personality and charm to impress Jane and stand out from the competition. Overall, it was a memorable experience for everyone involved.
Hakeem’s arachnophobia is well-known, yet the producers of the popular ABC dating show thought it would be fun to send him on a date to a zoo where spiders were present. The decision sparked backlash from fans who believed the producers were insensitive to Hakeem’s fears.
