Dumped Bachelorette singleton Sam McKinney's family furiously defend his character after viewers SLAM him for 'shallow and disingenuous' behavior


The 27-year-old has been fiercely defended by loved ones who are urging fans not to take the show 'too seriously' as they insisted he is a 'selfless' man off screen.

The 27-year-old singleton was dumped by Jenn Tran on the ABC dating show in scenes that aired on Monday night, after he bravely declared that she was not his type and that he only signed up to the series because he believed Daisy Kent or Maria Georgas would be the lead. But now a couple close to Sam has spoken out in a desperate bid to quell the raging criticism, urging fans not to take the show 'too seriously' and insisting he is a 'selfless' man in real life. Earlier this week, Sam left viewers' skin crawling after he brazenly admitted to Jenn that she is not his type - with one fan even going as far as branding it 'one of the worst' moments in the show's 21-year history.
