ABC Producers Blasted For Controversial Selection Of Underage ‘Bachelorette’

BURBANK, CA—Facing a backlash over what is perhaps the show’s most confounding move to date, producers for ABC’sattempted to fend off criticism Monday for its controversial decision to feature a 13-year-old girl in the titular role of the program’s latest season.

“She may be a little younger than our past bachelorettes, but we’re confident Kayla will win over viewers’ hearts with her love of horses, soccer, and chocolate-chip ice cream,” said ABC spokesperson Marianne Weatherby, who defended the network’s choice to cast the seventh-grader in a show in which, over the course of a dozen episodes, 30 male contestants will vie for the child’s affections and hand in marriage.
