Since most of the drama on Becca Kufrin's season of The Bachelorette actually occurred after the show aired, tonight's The Bachelorette: Men Tell All episode will finally give us some of the dishy confrontations we've been craving. However, it apparently also includes an unfortunate moment involving Colton Underwood. According to Variety, contestant Jean Blanc made a jab at Underwood for being a virgin, something that's unnecessarily been a point of tension this season.
While the details of the instance aren't entirely clear, Variety reports that at one point Jean Blanc told Underwood that he was "acting like a pussy even though you've never been inside of one."

Underwood spoke to Variety after the taping, saying that "It took a lot of self restraint to stay in my seat when Jean Blanc made that comment because it was something that was so uncalled for, so unnecessary, so disrespectful to not only me but everybody out there in the way he verbalized the female anatomy."
On the bright side, Underwood says his openness about his virginity has garnered more praise than derision.
"I’m so happy that I started a conversation or at least allowed people and mothers — I can’t tell you how many mothers reached out to me, how many parents, even some 20-plus-year-olds have reached out to me and said ‘Hey I’ve been in your boat before, I’ve been ashamed and thank you for being a voice,'" he continued. "I love hearing stories like that."
While Underwood's virginity may have been a big plot point on the show, it's definitely not something that should define him, nor should it be something other contestants use to put him down. We'll have to tune in tonight at 8 p.m. EST to see how it all unfolds.
