Leaked Footage Shows 'The Bachelor's' Abbie Chatfield Slamming Matt Agnew

So, I guess she doesn't win then? - by Grace Back

For weeks, this year's Bachelor Australia contestants have been expressing their concerns on Abbie Chatfield's feelings for Bachie Matt Agnew. It turns out, Elly Miles and Sogand Mohtat's comments may have been warranted, as leaked footage has Abbie slamming Matt while watching the series with friends.

Watch the footage below:

The footage, which was shared via Instagram Stories, shows this year's Bachelor villain "cringing" at the hunky scientist during an unauthorised viewing party for the show's premiere episode, which took place back in July. The leaked clip begins with the 23-year-old sitting in front of the TV watching Matt introduce himself before the person filming yells, "Abbie" hoping to capture her response to the scene on camera.

"That's so cringe," a disgruntled Abbie can be heard groaning as she turned around and pulled a face.

Abbie's sister Jolie originally shared the video from the viewing party to her Stories but it was promptly deleted.

Since the footage surfaced, Abbie has hit back at claims she was slamming the astrophysicist, telling the Daily Mail that her facial expressions "had nothing to do with Matt".

She said, "The footage referred to is from a viewing party for Episode 1. The ‘cringe’ comment was in relation to seeing myself on television for the first time and the Gemini joke."

Wednesday night's episode of The Bachelor had fans confused as fan favourite Elly Miles was sent home in favour of Abbie. At this point in time, Monique Morley, Sogand Mohtat and Matt's very own best friend, Kate, have all doubted Abbie's motives, however, annoyingly, he refuses to listen.

Elly has put her finger on why Matt is ignoring everyone... according to the affable nurse, he's letting their sexual chemistry cloud his judgement.

"He's a very intelligent man," Elly told TV Week after she was booted off the series. "I think at this point he's picked up there are a few red flags there and there are a few inconsistencies that have popped up with Abbie. He's aware of it, but they have such a strong connection that he doesn't know what to think."

Elly isn't the only contestant who has a theory about Abbie's appearance on the show. Last week, eliminated Bachie star Kristen Czyszek told Yahoo, that although she hasn't made herself a favourite in her fellow contestants' eyes, Matt is yet to see her true colours.

“Abbie has such a big personality and we all have different ways of coping in [The Bachelor] environment, she copes with a lot of things through laughs and jokes."
