Jenn Tran's Ex Matt Rossi Says His Bachelorette
After getting dressed up and filming The Bachelorette: Men Tell All, Jenn Tran's ex-boyfriend Matt Rossi was taken aback when his participation on the show did not broadcast.
"When they forced me to come to Men Tell All, they rehashed everything out, specifically for the purpose of removing the entire segment..." A message was posted by Matt on TikTok on Friday, August 30.
Matt is seen in the video taking a mirror selfie while dressed in a suit jacket, a white button-up shirt, and pants that match.
A teaser was included in the title of the upload, which said, "Release the tapes it got juicy."
Jenn, who is 26 years old, was reunited onstage with her former partners during the program that aired on Tuesday, August 27. However, Matt was nowhere to be found.
It was during the 21st season of The Bachelorette that Matt made headlines when he made an appearance in New Zealand and made an attempt to win Jenn back. After shocking Jenn and uttering the L-word, Matt was able to gain an invitation to the cocktail party, where he was given the opportunity to provide an explanation for his actions.
“When we first really tried things out, we were much different people. We were not the grownups that we are today,” he told Jenn during an August episode. “And I just feel like as we’ve grown into more adults over time, we’ve just found this bond growing stronger, and I hope that you can see how much that you mean to me. I’m simply not ready to let it go.”
Jenn, who dated Matt on and off after their original relationship began in 2020, stated in a confessional that she was “torn” over whether or not to allow her ex join the program.
“I’m fighting between this past versus this newness,” she stated. “I don’t want to hurt anyone, but I have to make a decision.”
After talking with Jenn, Matt conveyed the news to her other suitors that the lead sent him packing.
“I just wanted to take a second to let you guys know I did come here completely on my own volition, but she let me know her future’s in this room,” he added. “She feels confident that you guys can offer something I can’t, and I’m just here to apologize, I’m not here to take anything away from your experience. I wish you all the best. I wish her the best.” You may also read this: Bachelorette Jenn Tran Admits It Felt So Good Going Off
While Matt did not discover The One in Jenn, host Jesse Palmer made sure to congratulate him for being “very brave” in throwing his heart on the line.
“I think Matt showed a lot about his character in that moment,” Jesse, 45, told Entertainment Weekly in August. “Speaking to the men was an ultimate sign of respect towards them and their journey with Jenn. I congratulate Matt for what he did.”
The Bachelorette season 21 finale airs on ABC Tuesday, September 3, at 8 p.m. ET.
