Dumped Bachelorette singleton Sam McKinney's family furiously defend his character after viewers SLAM him for 'shallow and disingenuous' behavior

As I delve into the world of reality television, I find myself utterly astonished by the antics of this young man named Sam. With his parents defending him left and right, one can’t help but wonder if they’re watching the same show.


Friends and family of “Bachelorette” star Sam McKinney have once again stepped up to defend him following negative comments from viewers labeling him a “douche”. They emphasize that the image portrayed on-screen does not accurately reflect his true character, as he is far deeper than what appears on the surface.

On Monday evening, footage showed a 27-year-old bachelor being ended things with Jenn Tran on ABC’s dating show. The reason? He admitted that she didn’t suit his taste and had joined the series primarily hoping to connect with Daisy Kent or Maria Georgas, whom he found more appealing.

However, someone near Sam has recently expressed their thoughts in an attempt to calm down the intense backlash, advising viewers not to view the series as overly important and emphasizing that Sam is genuinely thoughtful in his daily life.

Luke Setzer stated that Sam, whom he initially encountered at a wedding four years back, presents as a genuinely selfless individual, consistently prioritizing the needs of others over his own.

He shared on Facebook that he wanted to talk about an individual who has entered his life positively and made a significant difference.

At a wedding, I crossed paths with Sam for the first time, and like many of us, I made assumptions based on initial impressions rather than getting to know him. In a moment of poor judgement, I turned to my wife and commented, “That fellow seems quite arrogant.” Little did I know then that my perception was off the mark.

That same night during the party, I spotted him and his companion from back then isolated in a corner as everyone else enjoyed themselves dancing and having fun. Eager to meet him, I confidently approached them and made my introduction.

I explained to him that he doesn’t need to spend the night alone and secluded, so I asked him to join me instead. We ended up dancing and drinking together until the end of the night.

After their encounter at the wedding, Luke and Sam developed a strong bond and speak nearly every day, growing close enough to feel like family to each other.

During the lengthy three-year period of his home renovation, Sam generously offered assistance by driving four hours each time, purely out of kindness.

Luke went on to say, “Who quits a regular day job and travels for four hours without receiving payment, only to repeat the same tasks during numerous weekends from dawn till dusk?”

A generous soul, who finds joy in witnessing the prosperity and happiness of those dear to him. It speaks volumes about such an individual when they consistently prioritize the needs of others over their own.

Concluding his post, Luke said: ‘We love Sam for Sam and every ounce of what he stands for.

If you base your opinion about someone solely on what you see in a reality TV show narration, feel free to do so. However, allow me to offer you a piece of advice:

In my expertise, it’s crucial not to let your words be overflowing with religious texts while harboring negativity within. Instead, strive to emulate the compassionate spirit of individuals like Sam. I stand firmly by his side in every aspect of his life’s journey.

In alignment with my expertise on all things lifestyle, I must say that when it comes to Sam, I wholeheartedly echo the sentiments of his defender, Tara Wood Setzer. He is not just selfless, but he embodies a giving spirit that makes him an invaluable asset to any community. His zest for life and infectious enthusiasm make him incredibly fun to be around. And above all else, Sam’s authenticity shines through, making him as genuine as they come.

She started by saying, ‘If you consider yourself someone who takes reality TV very sincerely, then I implore you to give this statement your full attention, as it is the genuine truth: I have known Sam for a period of four years.’

Tara went on to say: “Throughout the years, I’ve observed the special connection and friendship that my husband and Sam have cultivated, as well as the relationship I’ve established with Sam. It has been a joy for me to witness Sam’s kind, selfless, amusing, and authentic character…”

It’s clear that Sam has a more compassionate and genuine nature than what you might initially perceive, as I have witnessed the kind and soothing aspects of Sam.

In the midst of private challenges that I faced and shared solely with my spouse, Sam stood unwaveringly by my side, displaying an extraordinary level of empathy, kindness, and sensitivity. He truly embodied a pillar of support during this trying time.

‘That is the truth and reality of who Sam is,’ she added.

‘It’s easy to judge a book by its cover like my husband did, but when you actually get to know the person you see their true self.

‘We love you Sam and we hate the world didn’t get to see the amazing man you are.’

As a longtime viewer of this popular reality show, I must admit that the recent incident involving Sam and Jenn left me feeling quite disappointed. For over two decades, I have been captivated by the drama, the friendships, and the romantic entanglements on the screen. But when Sam so blatantly expressed his lack of attraction towards Jenn in such a callous manner, it felt like a slap in the face to both the viewers and the show itself.

In a relaxed conversation on the radio, Jenn probed Sam about his initial thoughts towards something and how those perceptions might have changed throughout the course of their acquaintance.

Despite the questions appearing quite simple to respond to, Sam struggled significantly, leading viewers to label him as ‘the most disappointing’ or ‘the greatest letdown.’

He mentioned that he seriously considered not showing up, but then he changed his mind since he believed there was a chance to meet his future wife right here, and that was his main goal.

‘And then I got out of the limo. I’m like, “Okay, this girl is not my type.”

As someone who has been following the popular reality TV show for years, I must say that the latest twist caught me off guard. Initially, I had my bets placed on either Daisy [Kent] or Maria [Georgas], but the unexpected choice left me a bit bewildered. It’s always intriguing to encounter the unknown in these reality shows, and this instance was no exception. The unpredictability of it all adds an element of excitement that keeps viewers like me coming back for more!

Undeniably, your beauty is breathtaking and it’s evident without a shadow of a doubt. Yet, I recognize that such allure may wane over time. However, I have an unwavering faith in the journey we’re on together. In my heart, I firmly believe that I am destined to be here with you, every step of this process feels like it was meant for us.

‘My dream is to be a father, be a husband. My parents have been together for 30 plus years.’

The interview reached fever pitch when Jenn asked: ‘Do you feel like you really know me?’

“To be completely honest,” he said, “I’ve always made it clear that for me, expressing love is through physical affection.” Just then, he gently leaned towards Jenn and gave her a kiss over the table.

It’s no surprise that Jenn was upset by the move, as she expressed in her private reflection: “I can’t fathom why he’s acting this way.”

I’d like him to clarify why he views me as his spouse, specifically pointing out the traits in me he admires for the future. I didn’t find myself receiving satisfactory responses from our conversation.

This isn’t the first time Sam’s nearest and dearest have spoken out in his defense on social media.

A few days ago, it seemed like Sam’s parents used social media platforms to support their son, stating that his personality has been distorted to portray him as a villain in the series due to manipulative editing. However, they didn’t present any proof for their statement.

Susan and Jeff McKinney, it appears, turned to Facebook to criticize the network executives for portraying their son as a ‘terrible individual,’ claiming that certain scenes were manipulated or edited.

The alleged comments they made were uttered following the incident where their son persuaded Bachelorette Jenn to participate in a skywalk on a date, and disparaged contestant Devin Strader by referring to him disrespectfully as ‘a small, insignificant person.’
