‘Your ego is dented’: Bachelor runner-up Abbie Chatfield went on a vitriolic rant after getting brutally dumped by Matt Agnew on Thursday night’s finale. And it wasn’t long before a number of fans lashed out at the Brisbane-based property analyst after the intense scenes aired
‘Yes take that Abbie. Just goes to show that being fake doesn’t get you nowhere. I’m so happy it’s not her. Where are those tears now Abbie?’
Another added: ‘Accept it with good grace Abbie. You got a free trip to South Africa and your socials will explode.’
Mixed: Fans had a mixed reaction to the controversial reality star’s outburst
The user continued: ‘Don’t be all ”I’m over it, whatever”. You went from ”I don’t see how it won’t be me” to ”I don’t even care”. Your ego is dented.’
Another was a bit more understanding: ‘Abbie was clearly hurting, she was just being defensive, and that’s ok too.’
However, a number of fans were supportive of her.
Over it: Despite Abbie initially being confident Matt would choose her as the winner of the series, her hopes were dashed under the South African sun.
‘I feel so bad for Abbie. She absolutely handled that with dignity,’ one user wrote.
Another added: ‘Abbie’s just gone through the five stages of grief in 10 minutes in the SUV.’
Despite Abbie initially being confident Matt would choose her as the winner of the series, her hopes were dashed under the South African sun.
In tense scenes, she ripped her hands away from Matt’s and sneered: ‘I wish you’d sent me home so much earlier,’ she told him after being rejected, later snapping at producers: ‘Get me the f**k away from him!’

Speaking to producers on the lonely drive back to the hotel, Abbie said: ‘It’s OK. I’m so completely fine. I feel fine. I’m mostly just mad about the flight home now. I’m honestly not upset. It’s fine. I couldn’t even cry if I tried, right now.
‘Maybe I don’t love him. Like, honestly, maybe I don’t love him, I’m not even upset. It’s OK. He’s chosen someone that will make him happy. Chelsie will make him happy.’
She added: ‘Whatever he thinks is right. I just want to forget about it. I’ll get over this before it even airs, it’s gonna be fine… I’m just… Yeah, I’m just embarrassed.
‘It’s really hard and I just think I feel silly for thinking that, you know, that it would work out with Matt. I feel horrible.
‘The second the cameras turned off, I sobbed. I screamed. I couldn’t breathe’: Abbie said she broke down in South Africa once the film crew wasn’t around her
‘And, like, I will… I will get over this and I’m so resilient, so resilient. I just never thought I would… feel this way from this… experience.’
Soon after the finale aired, Abbie took to Instagram to share her thoughts about her behaviour in the car, saying she sobbed soon after due to the hurt.
‘The second the cameras turned off, I sobbed. I screamed. I couldn’t breathe. I didn’t think think this would be how we would end,’ she said.
