Did Clare Crawley just confirm the latest Bachelorette rumors?!
As we previously shared, the 39-year-old reportedly threatened to quit the show after developing a serious connection with one of the contestants. It’s been reported that Tayshia Adams, who appeared on Colton Underwood‘s season of The Bachelor, is in talks to replace her, but there wasn’t any supporting evidence until NOW!

The Sacramento native appears to have liked a message on Twitter some time on Sunday evening from a fan account about Adams being the new Bachelorette. But by 8 a.m. on Monday morning, it was already unliked, per ET. So, why is this a big deal? Contestants and leads don’t typically have access to their phones during filming to keep everything under wraps, so this could confirm what’s been whispered about Crawley being replaced. See the screenshot evidence HERE!
As we mentioned, this comes after Clare reportedly developed a connection with a contestant named Dale Moss. Per a Life & Style report, the ABC star “blindsided” the show’s production team, and “no longer wanted to participate in the show.” Her contract situation might be a bit difficult to get out of, but she is “refusing to come out of her room” to film with other suitors! An insider close to the situation shared with the outlet:
“Producers are scrambling to figure out what to do. They are frantically trying to pick up the pieces without having to start over completely.”
The team is looking to “match [Tayshia] up with the bachelors who are left” if Clare has truly called it quits, but if this is the case, it’d be the first time in franchise history that the lead was replaced mid-season! The world came to a crashing halt due to COVID-19 less than two weeks after Crawley was named the Bachelorette, and though filming has since picked up again, some men competing for her heart have since been replaced.
From the original pool of contestants, only 17 have remained and 25 were new additions. Matt James was among those cut after being named the next Bachelor in June, plus some younger suitors were let go after backlash from fans over the larger age gap between the 39-year-old and men in their early 20s.
