Erich Schwer has been the center of Bachelor Nation drama for consecutive weeks. While Gabby Windey adores him on the show, she’s concerned he won’t want to get engaged by the end of The Bachelorette Season 19 finale. And now, his ex-girlfriend, Amanda Kaylor, is coming forward to allege that Erich was never serious about the show. She alleges he only went on reality TV for fame and to further his career.

The texts, shared by Bachelornation.Scoop, show Erich apologizing to Amanda for choosing to go on the show while they were dating. Erich then tells her he feels stuck in his career and hopes a stint on reality TV will advance it.

“He insisted that it was all acting and it would be as if he was just going out of town for a few weeks,” Amanda shared. “He wanted a fresh start and a new career path because he was unhappy with his.”

Producer Mike Fleiss ‘liked’ a tweet comparing Erich Schwer to Jed Wyatt

With part two of The Bachelorette Season 19 finale still on the horizon, fans don’t yet know how Erich Schwer and Gabby Windey’s story ends. And many fans are nervous they will see a repeat situation as they saw with Hannah Brown. At the end of Hannah Brown’s season of The Bachelorette, she chose Jed Wyatt over Tyler Cameron. Jed also had an ex-girlfriend at home who alleged he went on the show to advance his music career.

Recently, a Reddit user saw that producer Mike Fleiss “liked” a tweet comparing Erich’s behavior to Jed’s. “Erich being the new Jed Wyatt is not what I expected,” the tweet reads. “Can we just cancel next week’s episode and move on to Paradise? Please. I’m literally begging you.”

Many fans agree with the sentiment shared in the tweet. “Agree … I said the same thing, he was as shady as Jed,” a fan wrote.
