Wednesday night’s episode of The Bachelor saw fan favourite Brooke Blurton reveal to Nick Cummins that she had been in two relationships with women, but admitted she wants to be with a man ‘to have a family.’
After the episode aired, Australian Survivor star and AFLW player Moana Hope slammed Brooke for her comments, pointing out that same-sex couple can also have children.
Taking to her Instagram story, the 30-year-old athlete shared a picture of her TV screen and used a face palm GIF, writing in part of her post: ‘FYI three letters…IVF.’
Moana added, quoting Brooke: ‘It’s not about the sexuality it’s about the person…’ and ‘Actually, I’m definitely more attracted men.’
Moana then shared a video of her girlfriend Isabella Carlstrom, in which she joked: ‘Babe, I have to break up with you.’
‘I have to get all the men…to have babies. I need a boyfriend.’
Isabella laughed as she replied: ‘Quick, find one!’
Following the reveal of Brooke’s ‘big secret’, many viewers took to Twitter to slam Channel Ten for branding someone’s sexual identity as a ‘secret.’
Others added, ‘Hate how the ‘big secret’ was about Brooke’s sexuality. And of course Nick had no problem with it. Also, Brooke saying she’s not bisexual or a lesbian (sounds like she’s pansexual) and wants to be with a man to have kids…’
Another added of Brooke’s ‘secret’: ‘Why is that such a bombshell? I was expecting so much more.’
