Former Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis Slams New ‘Bachelorette’ Promo With Clare Crawley: ‘Interesting’
Feeling salty? Former Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis slammed the newest Bachelorette promo that showed his dramatic split from Clare Crawley during season 17.
“Interesting PROMO of @Clare_Crawley and [this] season of @BacheloretteABC. [Six] years LATER and I know WHO is the Juan that can’t get OVER Juan … Would LOVE if you take a GUESS?” the former pro soccer player, 39, tweeted on Wednesday, September 2.

The reality star was seemingly talking about the dating franchise bringing him up various times while promoting the Sacramento native’s upcoming season. In case there was any confusion Juan Pablo added, “P.S.: Clare got over [me a] LONG time ago, just in CASE.”
The latest teaser for season 16 shows Clare, 39, strutting around in a white dress surrounded by roses while KeKe Palmer belts out her rendition of Aretha Franklin’s “Respect.”
“You think you know me? I’ve been down this road before,” the hairstylist can be seen saying along with clips of her and Juan Pablo. “I want respect.”
Clare has not responded to her ex’s shady tweet. However, it appears she’s gotten her phone back after filming. Her social media has been radio silent since July, but she has been liking and retweeting a slew of Bachelorette videos since August 31.
The leading lady may simply be over the opinions of her ex. She roasted the Venezuelan stud back in March after he made a comment about the ages of her contestants. “I just SAW the GUYS for @Clare_Crawley’s Bachelorette season, and its gonna be INTERESTING seeing HER get hit on by KIDS on their 20s … I think this MIGHT be the 3rd SEASON I’m gonna watch,” JP tweeted at the time.
The Bachelor Winter Games alum clapped back and said the season 17 star is “older than 99 [percent] of them and still can’t practice compassion and kindness.” Host Chris Harrison cheered on Clare by tweeting, “And this is why she’s our #Bachelorette. She’s playing chess while the rest play checkers.”
Juan Pablo exclusively told Life & Style at the time he thought Clare overreacted “a little bit” over his playful message. “I also posted a tweet congratulating her a week earlier when she was announced, but it seems she missed that one,” he noted.
All in all, he doesn’t see the age gap between Clare and some of the contestants as “an issue at all.” He explained, “Age is just a number. What really matters is the connection she will have with the final contestant. Then, how they are with each other after the show. That’s the real test.”
The former Bachelor in Paradise contestant did find love through her journey, see spoilers about her season here! It’s safe to say Clare is unbothered by Juan Pablo’s opinions.
