So Former Bach Contestants Abbie Chatfield & Todd King Have Been Papped During A Steamy Beach Hook Up

The Bachelor runner-up Abbie Chatfield has had a pretty bad run over the past few months.

Not only did she miss out on being Bachie Matt Agnew’s main chick, she was also subject to some bullying throughout her time in the mansion and has had to deal with a lot of trolling as the show aired too.

There have been some benefits to the whole experience though. Recently Abbie’s been enjoying time with another contestant from the Bachie franchise, Todd King. (FYI Todd was on Ali Oetjen's season of The Bachelorette).

In pics nabbed by New Idea (check ‘em out here), Abbie and Todd can be seen kissing and generally being all cute on a beach in Noosa.

Things I got slut shamed for on #thebachelorau: this bikini, my skort at hometowns, multiple cocktail party gowns, kissing matt 'without a date' and at a cocktail party (out of sight of anyone), pashing Matt in various locations with varying degrees of intensity, honestly admitting that I wanted to have sex with a man I was dating for 10 weeks and all around just "using sexuality to manipulate Matt". This is something I did not expect in 2019. Sex is essential to a successful relationship for me, as is sexual chemistry and the ability to express that comfortably with my partner. I saw commentary around my sexuality (rightly) calling out slut shaming and double standards regarding my pash sessions with Matt, with responses of "I'm not slut shaming her she is just manipulative/dumb/aggressive/only wanting sex". To insinuate that any relationship is less valid because of a strong physical connection is counterintuitive - the defining factor between a platonic and romantic relationship is physcial expressions of affection. I saw many comments about me having "nothing between my ears" or that I was "so insecure she can't talk to him so they just kiss". The public see ten minutes of a twelve hour date, it is insulting to both myself and Matt to assume he took me right until the end purely for a snog. I'd like those who think that I was manipulative to TRULY examine why you believe that. On most occasions, it comes down to a core belief that a woman who is "seducing" a man has ulterior motives, while a man doing the same is merely being romantic. If it isn't that, it is based off the opinion voiced of other contestants on the show, not my actions. I was always honest, authentic and expressive which can sometimes rub people the wrong way. It's okay to not like me - it is not okay to assume that I am less of a person or less worthy of love because I like to have sex and can talk freely and openly about it. Also MY LOVE LANGUAGES ARE PHYSICAL TOUCH AND QUALITY TIME LEAVE ME ALONE PLS

The pics come after the pair had a spicy exchange on Instagram, with Todd commenting on Abbie’s post calling out the way she was treated on the show.

"Absolutely living for this! I can't stand the double standards. Well said, Abbie," Todd wrote. "Send me a date card already, you feminist icon," Abbie responded.

But don’t get too attached to the couple just yet. In a recent interview, Abbie clarified that while her and Todd have been hanging out, it’s “nothing serious”.

"We're good friends and have had a weekend together but that's it," Abbie said.
