Hindsight 20/20. Clayton Echard gave Shanae Ankney several chances on The Bachelor, but he’s not happy about it now that he’s had a chance to watch the episodes.
“It’s honestly scary how manipulative Shanae is like is she secretly a serial killer,” a Bachelor viewer tweeted during the Monday, February 7, episode of the ABC series. The former NFL player, 28, retweeted the message, adding the comment, “Lock her up! She’s killed all my credibility already.”
Fans have anointed the Ohio native, 29, as the “villain” of season 26 after her clashes with several other suitors. Her fellow contestants seemed to believe Clayton would send her home on Monday after she threw a group date trophy in a pond, but he gave her another chance when she tearfully apologized to the women for her actions.
In a confessional interview, however, she revealed that she didn’t feel sorry at all, adding that she deserved an Oscar or Emmy for her “performance.” The episode ended with Clayton taking her on a 2-on-1 with Genevieve Parisi, but he hadn’t yet made a decision about which woman would receive a rose.

YELLOW SPRINGS, Ohio -- Comedian Dave Chappelle said his threat to pull the plug on his plans to open a comedy club near his hometown in Ohio wasn't because he opposed a proposal for affordable housing in a nearby development.Chappelle, who became the target of criticism this week after speaking against the development in Yellow Springs, said in a statement that the plan was not the right fit for the village.“Dave Chappelle didn’t kill affordable housing. Concerned residents and a responding Village Council ‘killed’ a half-baked plan which never actually offered affordable housing,” said Carla Sims, a spokesperson for Chappelle.Chappelle was among several residents who spoke against the project at a council meeting Monday the Dayton Daily News reported.The comedian, who announced last year that he was buying a former fire station in Yellow Springs with plans to turn it into a comedy club, said he would back out if the project was allowed.
Dave Chappelle is being accused of striking down proposed affordable housing, but the comedian’s rep asserts he is doing the opposite.
