Bachelor In Paradise’s Jackson Garlick urges viewers to ‘stop posting nasty comments’

Jackson Garlick has urged Bachelor In Paradise fans to stop posting nasty comments on social media.

The 26-year-old shared a video to his Instagram story on Wednesday, explaining that all the contestants are friends behind the scenes and said it’s ‘just television’.

‘Don’t get hyped up by the edit and go on someone’s page and post nasty sh*t… just tone it down,’ he said.

‘I’m seeing a friend from a show who is getting hate on the show… We are all friends behind the scenes. It might look like there is a lot of hate but you don’t need to join in on the hate, it’s just TV,’ he added.

Jackson went on to tell his followers to discuss their opinions with their friends and to avoid posting them online.

He continued: ‘Don’t be compelled to go and comment on a random person’s profile or picture on Instagram.’

Jackson first appeared on Angie Kent’s season of The Bachelorette in 2019, but failed to receive a rose after hometown week.

He had previously applied to be on Georgia Love’s season of The Bachelorette when he was just 22.

On Tuesday night, Jackson arrived to the Bachelor In Paradise Fijian villa and appears to have found a spark with Brittney Weldon.

‘Oh, my God, finally! I’m definitely vibing Jackson,’ she said as soon as he walked into the resort.

During his first night at the villa, the pair cuddled and shared a steamy kiss before Cassandra Mamone revealed she also felt she had a connection with Jackson. 

‘In normal situations, I don’t need to compete with other girls. I wait for the guy to court me to message me, to come up to me. However, this is Paradise and Jackson’s the only guy I like, but I don’t know if he’s committed to Brittney,’ she said.
