“The Bachelor” franchise is no stranger to odd jobs, but this alleged “profession” sure got fans talking.

In an ABC promo that aired in December, there were whispers in the house about a possible “escort” being among the contestants for Matt James’ season.

Brittany Galvin, 23, was the contestant accused of being an escort in Season 25, Week 4. However, she refuted claims about being a sex worker in the episode.

“No, I’m not an escort,” Brittany said. “It’s just so ridiculous to say that.”

Here’s everything we know so far about this explosive first in the franchise.

Where did the escort rumor come from?

Galvin arrived at the Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania — along with four other women after rose ceremony No. 2 — with her name in everyone’s mouth.

“In this house, there are no secrets,” a voice said in the December promo video. “I’ve heard two different terms going around, I’ve heard ‘sugar baby’ and ‘escort.’ ”

Another contestant alleged that someone “may be having a transactional relationship with wealthy men.”

Reality Steve reported ahead of the episode that Brittany, who lives in Chicago, was recognized by fellow contestants Kaili and Anna, who both hail from the Windy City.

“Kaili is the one that accuses Brittany of being an escort, I assume because of things she’s heard around Chicago being in the club scene,” Reality Steve wrote. “And then Anna, also being from Chicago, apparently has heard things as well and jumps in and that’s where the drama starts.”

Brittany denies claims

In the episode, Anna told a fellow contestant she heard rumblings about Brittany from Chicago.

“People have gone out of their way to tell me, ‘Oh my God, watch out for this girl’ … that she is entertaining men for money,” Anna told another contestant, before confronting Brittany.

“Brittany, I really want to talk to you. We’re all fighting for the same man, so I just want to make sure your intentions are pure,” Anna said. “Coming into this, I was actually getting messages from people in Chicago and them just saying, ‘Watch out for this girl,’ that you’re an escort and all this stuff.” 

“Wait, you were telling people in the house that?” Brittany asked.

Anna, who started the rumor, then responded: “I think that’s an awful thing to say about someone, and I want to apologize, but also want to give you the space if you want to talk about why people were sending warnings about you when I literally have never met you.”

“No, I’m not an escort,” Brittany replied. “It’s just so ridiculous to say that. To have that come out of my mouth … I’ve had a boyfriend my entire life … since I was 16. Making a conclusion about me before you even get to know me, that’s sh–ty. I don’t know. It just makes me — I just feel like everyone’s against me right now. I know you guys don’t care at all, but it’s really hard.”

Other contestants said it was unfair to speculate about Brittany and she “shouldn’t be put in that situation” — a sentiment echoed by fans on Twitter.

“BOO AT SEX WORK SHAMING,” said one fan. “We do not shame sex workers over here,” added another.
