Olivia Caridi was bumped from ABC reality show The Bachelor where contestants vie for the chance to be the one who shows everyone else she “isn’t there to make friends” and is “there for the right reasons.”
Caridi is a former local TV anchor who last worked at Bristol, Va., Fox and NBC affiliate WCYB–WEMT. There’s no word where she’ll land next, whether it will be local or even national news.
Getting dumped is tough. But according to ABC, “getting dumped on national television and then left alone on an island in the rain while your ex walks off with another woman is even tougher.”
She posted about the Bachelor experience on Instagram jokingly saying a friend rented a kayak to save her. “I caught fish with my hands for meals. It was very difficult,” wrote Caridi. “But my friend just anchored near the shore days later and we floated back to the mainland during sunset. It was idyllic.”
