Following leaving The Bachelorette engaged, Doug Mason has spoken out about the comparisons he got between himself and Dakota, Taylor Frankie Paul’s SLOMW ex.
On The Bachelor Happy Hour podcast back in April, Doug shared: “It’s interesting because our initials are similar, or the same. Me being Doug Mason and he is who he is. But you know it’s funny, it goes back to the same thing: I don’t know the guy. I only know what I’ve heard about him, which I don’t really love what I’ve heard. So I hate to be compared to somebody who has treated Taylor like that.”
