‘The Bachelorette’ 2019 Villain Isn’t Luke Parker After All, It’s Jed Wyatt

Since week one of “The Bachelorette” Season 15, Luke Parker made himself a target among the other men competing for lead Hannah Brown’s heart, but it turns out he may not be this season’s biggest “villain” after all.

Luke has been a target among his co-stars and viewers for several episodes of the ABC series. After meeting Hannah before several other contestants, Luke made waves by proclaiming his love for her during their first group date. Things only intensified in the weeks that followed as he continued to rub his co-stars the wrong way. ABC’s preview for next week’s episode reveals he will continue his “villain” status in episode 9.

After being granted an invitation to Hannah’s fantasy suite dates, things turn sour for the couple following a heated discussion about her sex life. “Let’s say you have had sex with one or multiple of these guys,” Luke says in the teaser, “I’d completely remove myself from this relationship.” What follows is footage of Hannah appearing to eliminate Luke on the spot.

While ABC appears to continuing to play up Luke’s role as this season’s main “villain,” spoilers reveal his actions may soon be overpowered by those of another contestant: Jed Wyatt.

Ahead of the 2019 finale of the ABC show, spoiler blogger Reality Steve revealed that Hannah ended her season engaged to Jed. After fans celebrated the spoiler -- with some mourning the news, hopeful the blogger’s initially reported winner, Tyler Cameron, would succeed instead -- additional details about Jed’s life before the show began to emerge.

Last month, a musician named Haley Stevens revealed that she had been dating Jed prior to him leaving to film the show. According to her, Jed told her he only went on “The Bachelorette” to further his music career. Post-reveal, Hannah was reported to have called off her engagement to Jed. Once more details from Haley emerged, she called off their relationship entirely.

If the rumors are to be believed, fans will see the dramatic breakup between Hannah and Jed playout during the season finale of “The Bachelorette.”
