Former Bachelorette Contestant Loses Legal Battle Over On-Screen Conduct
A tribunal has rejected a former councilor's appeals after a five-year legal fight stemming from his appearance on a reality dating show.
A former councilor, who gained notoriety on the fifth season of The Bachelorette for his suggestive remarks to host Angie Kent, has been unsuccessful in his prolonged legal challenge. A tribunal has dismissed his appeals, concluding a five-year dispute related to his conduct on the program.
Jess Glasgow appeared on the show in 2019, during which he told Kent he would "slip the tongue in." Kent, the Bachelorette for that season, ultimately asked Glasgow to leave the show in the second episode, stating she was tired of being treated as a "piece of meat."
Mentioned in the report:
Glasgow had taken annual leave from his position at Noosa Shire Council to participate in the show. He later downplayed his on-screen behavior as "harmless fun."
Mentioned in the report:
His appearance on the reality dating show lasted only two episodes before Kent eliminated him. The tribunal's decision marks the final resolution of his legal battle concerning his television appearance.
