The Bachelorette 2021 LIVE – Michelle Young & Nayte’s date CRASHED by Chris and Joe breaks down in tears over basketball

THE Bachelorette Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya’s romantic date was CRASHED by Chris Sutton – which resulted in his elimination.

The suitor’s “desperate” attempt to connect with the Minnesota schoolteacher majorly backfired as Michelle sent him home on the spot.

Earlier in the episode, Joe Coleman broke down in tears as he revealed mental health struggles that stemmed from his basketball career.

Last week, frontrunner Nayte got into a feud with Chris for spreading “lies.”

The group has left California for her hometown of Minneapolis where the frontrunner was awarded the first one-on-one date of the night.

They both cried as Joe opened up about the difficult time he had transitioning out of his basketball-playing career.

He discussed that he had so many injuries, including a metal plate in his ankle, that his body just “broke down.”

Both Michelle and Joe cried as he discussed the toll it took on his mental health, as he “had no identity” outside of the sport.

The pair are seen in confrontation again in preview clips as Chris gatecrashes Michelle and Nayte’s date.
