Jesse Palmer has nothing but praise for Bachelorette Jenn Tran’s ex Matt Rossi.
When asked for his reaction to Matt addressing the season 21 contestants before departing from the show, Palmer, 45, told Entertainment Weekly that he “thought it was very brave.”
“I think Matt showed a lot about his character in that moment,” Palmer continued in the interview published on Tuesday, August 6. “Speaking to the men was an ultimate sign of respect towards them and their journey with Jenn. I commend Matt for what he did.”
After learning that Matt flew to New Zealand to profess his love to Jenn, 26, the remaining suitors weren’t happy.
Throughout the years of The Bachelor franchise, many exes have shown up on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette. While some have hopes of rekindling, others are there to send a message to the lead. During season 24, Merissa Pence arrived on Peter Weber‘s date with Victoria Fuller to warn him. Not only had she dated […] During the Monday, August 5, episode, several contestants — including Devin Strader — threatened to quit the show if Jenn let her ex stay.
The Bachelorette airs Mondays at 8 p.m. ET.
