Michelle Young Revealed She Has Given Clayton Echard Words of Wisdom

As fans are aware, Echard appeared on “The Bachelorette” season 18, starring Michelle Young. Even though Young ended up sending the former football player home, the elementary school teacher has maintained a friendship with him. During a January 2022 interview with “Bachelor Nation,” the reality television personality shared that she and Echard “have a very good relationship” and “have had really good conversations.” She noted that stars on the “Bachelor” franchise often have to deal with hateful comments from viewers. 

“I feel like he’s doing a really good job of just kind of like rolling with the punches. You know, people are mean on the internet. People are really mean,” asserted Young. 

She also shared that she has imparted words of wisdom about handling negative comments.

“I’m like Clayton do not look at that, don’t look at the comments. You can if you want to but at the end of the day, it’s their time that they’re wasting,” stated Young. 

The former “Bachelorette” star then shared that she believes vocal critics of the show’s stars are similar to telemarketers. 

“You’re wasting your time because it’s not affecting me. Like you just spent however much time of your day trying to spam me like those people who call and try to steal your money,” said the 28-year-old. 

New episodes of “The Bachelor” premiere Mondays on ABC.
