This isn't the first time this season a contestant has come under fire.
Garrett Yrigoyen, who Kurfin, 28, “first impression rose” to on episode one, was caught "liking" hateful memes on social media.
Yrigoyen, 29, was exposed by former Bachelor contestant Ashley Spivey, 33, took to Twitter to reveal his dark social media history.
Spivey shared screen grabs of extremely offensive Instagram posts which were liked by Yrigoyen. One of them mocked Caitlyn Jenner, showing photos of her before and after her transition. Another made a cruel joke about an illegal Mexican child being “thrown” back across the border by a U.S. guard. A third one shamed NFL players that chose to kneel during the National Anthem.
Yrigoyen quickly apologized after the scandal.
Franchise spoiler blogger Reality Steve was first to report this breaking news.
