About this episode

Sam McKinney shares his side of the story regarding his experience on The Bachelorette and his journey since then.

Sam McKinney hasn't been allowed to share his side of the story regarding what actually went down during Jenn Tran's season of The Bachelorette, but now the "villian" is finally telling all. Sam joins Stefanie and talks about the backlash he received while the show was airing, the truth about his one-on-one date with Jenn, what really happened with Devin, and how the edit we saw on television doesn't match what was actually happening during filming. Plus, how he ended up on Bachelor in Paradise and his life today with Alli Jo Hinkes.
