Honesty is the best policy? Fans are roasting Bachelorette contestant Jed after he admitted to Hannah Brown that he originally went on the reality show to further his budding music career. On his one-on-one date during week 4, the country singer surprisingly revealed that fame was top of mind when agreed to join Bachelor Nation. However, that all changed when his connection deepened with the Alabama beauty. “Every moment that we’ve had has kind of taken that all away. Now more, than anything, I want to be with you,” he said before admitting that he was starting to fall for her. See the best fan tweets below!

Um, Yeah?

Considering Jed’s occupation is listed as a singer/songwriter, is it really that shocking?

Eyeroll Inducing

Some people did not care for Jed’s tactics but a musician has to make it work, right?

Jed literally said he was there for his brand and you were cool, but Luke S can’t talk about his. #TheBachelorette pic.twitter.com/QIv4eWfHJ8

Hmmm …

During the group date, Luke P. told Hannah that Luke S. was talking about a company he wants to start and she did not take kindly to it.

People Are Shook

It goes without saying that not everyone has completely clean intentions when going on the famed reality show. However, it was very unexpected to see someone flat out admit it.

I’m loving the honesty from Jed! I actually believe him when he tells her he is there for only her now. If he is lying he needs to put down the guitar and become an actor. #TheBachelorette

A Turn for a Better

Other fans took Jed’s honesty as a good sign that shows that he’ll always show his true colors.
