The Bachelorette Epically Shuts Down Idiot Who Tried Slut-Shaming Her

Hannah smacked down the slut-shaming coming from Luke so fast his head spun

Hannah Brown, this season’s star of The Bachelorette, has finally had it. She’s had it with sexism, double standards, and she’s really had it with one of her love interests on the show (whose name rhythms with Puke). Shit got real on last night’s episode and people are not here for the slut-shaming disguised as faith, least of all Hannah.

Luke Parker is used to digging holes for himself with pretty much everyone on the show but Hannah. She’s kept him around despite his friction with the others, feeling a kindred connection from him since the show’s beginning. Unfortunately, dear Luke dug one too many holes and it appears this one swallowed him alive.

During the Fantasy Suites round of this year’s show, Luke told Hannah (who’d already gone on her overnights with Peter, Tyler, and Jed) he’d like to have a quick “talk about sex.”

Luke, a born-again virgin, then told Hannah if she admitted to having sex with any of the other contestants, he would leave. “If you told me you had sex with one or multiple of these guys, then I’d be wanting to go home, 100 percent,” he said, adding also that she would be hypocritical as a Christian for good measure. As you can imagine, that did not sit well.

“The way that you just said that, why do you have the right to do that because you’re not my husband,” she said. “You’re questioning me, and you’re judging me, and you feel like you have the right to, and you don’t at this point.” But don’t worry, Luke said he was “willing” to work through it if she had “slipped up.” Oh hell, no.

Luke should’ve been picking up what she was putting down at that point but he’s clearly not one to read the situation. “The marriage bed should be kept pure,” reminding everyone (again) that he’s been abstaining for a couple years — after his come to Jesus moment was the result of having banged his way through his entire college campus, as you will remember he outlined in his entrance interview. But sure, Luke, call Hannah a hypocrite. Hannah was understandably not here for any amount of shame whatsoever and neither were fans.

“I’m a grown woman and can make my own decisions, and I’m not strapped to a man right now,” she said, adding that his judgments were “just not okay.” She said sex was a very big deal to her but that “some of the things you said, I don’t agree with at all. And honestly, I’m, like, kind of mad,”

What happened next can only be described as an early Christmas present for the world as they panned to her telling the camera, “I didn’t just go to fantasy suite. I f**ked in a windmill. And guess what? We did it a second time!” she said with a smile. Get yourself some, girl.

Finally, Hannah did what we’ve been waiting all season for — she sent Luke packing. “My husband would never say what you said to me,” she said. Just when you think perhaps this man learned his lesson after being taken to school, it appears he did not.

“Can I pray for you before I leave?” he asked. “No,” Hannah said, putting him into the limo and flipping him off. This show couldn’t get better if it tried. Unfortunately, Luke is still talking about it.

Of course Hannah responded because if you can’t get in a burn about deli who even are you?

Here’s to tuning in next week to see Luke continue to not respect Hannah’s wishes by returning to the show, as we saw in the preview. Slut-shaming has a zero tolerance policy and thanks to Hannah, Luke is about to find out. Again.
