Late college student Jed Macintosh was embroiled in a scandal even before his season ended before filming ended.
After Channel 10 announced that the 25-year-old was one of three newcomers to headline Season 10 of the dating series, several controversial Facebook posts resurfaced during Jedi’s teenage years.
The posts were made in 2011, when Jedi was about 14 years old.

Juvenile: Posts full of spelling and grammatical errors refer to “p***y” and rape. They were written when Jedi was about 14 years old.
In response to the controversy, Jed told the Daily Telegraph that old posts no longer reflect who he is today as a 25-year-old.
“These posts are over 10 years old and I don’t remember making them,” he said.
“As children we say things we don’t understand about the harshness of the language used, but I can firmly say that as an adult I don’t agree with the use of language and the humor of the posts,” continued Jed.
“I have a lot of respect for women, I am a strong advocate for victims of assault and I never want to harm or hurt anyone.

Brooke’s season also made history as it was the first “queer” part of the franchise where both men and women fought for her.
