Golden Bachelorette Joan Vassos on Inappropriate DMs

Joan Vassos, the first-ever 'Golden Bachelorette,' revealed she was inundated with racy and inappropriate messages on social media following her appearance on 'The Golden Bachelor.' The 61-year-old widow received explicit photos and requests for foot pictures, which prompted her children to step in and help manage the unsolicited messages. Vassos, who left 'The Golden Bachelor' to care for her daughter experiencing postpartum depression, found the attention overwhelming and difficult to navigate. Other contestants from the show, such as April Kirkwood and Leslie Fhima, also reported receiving strange messages, highlighting the darker side of fame. Despite the challenges, Vassos is set to lead the new season of 'The Golden Bachelorette,' expressing her desire for a gentleman with a big heart, generosity, and humility.
