Ashley Iaconetti

Ashley's profile page on ABC website mentioned her as a nanny and a football fan. After completing her education, she worked as a sport reporter and freelance journalist for some time, before appearing on ABC's hit reality television show ‘The Bachelor’. On the show, she gained notoriety for her over-sensitive disposure and excessive crying. She stole the spotlight by claiming to be a virgin, who was never involved in a relationship or had a boyfriend. However, all the attention failed to win her the contest. But, she was able to leave lasting impression on the audience, as a result of which, she was re-selected as a contestant on the show ‘Bachelor in Paradise’. Since then, she has appeared on a number of television shows as herself.

On social media, Ashley Iaconetti describes herself as "either optimistic or delusional". However, she is actually a multifaceted genius who has worked as a sports reporter, a freelance writer and videographer. She is the owner and CEO of E & S Media Creations, which provides video services on wedding, sports, and corporate occasions. She has previously worked for Yoshitoshi Recordings as an assistant and also for Entertainment Industries Council.

She has a blog where she posts her thoughts on The Bachelor. She also writes blogs on a vast array of topics, often providing advice to her readers on a variety of issues ranging from dating to skin problems. Ashley, who is infamous for excessive onscreen crying, mentioned in her blog that she is creating an emotional revolution. Discussing emotion-shaming, she urged her readers to express their feelings without being afraid of social norms or feeling vulnerable.

Ashley Iaconetti stirred up controversy after she posted a blog article on Cosmopolitan and opened up on the heinous editing techniques employed by ABC network on its reality show ‘Bachelor in Paradise’. She alleged that the episode in which she had an altercation with fellow contestant Caila Quinn was heavily edited and was totally different from the actual conversation that they had. She immediately edited the post and included a disclaimer in the end of the article, mentioning that she had to edit the article due to her contractual obligations with ABC for being on the reality TV show. However, screenshot of the original post was leaked online, revealing her inputs on the issue to the public.
