“I have had sex, and Jesus still loves me.”
If you’ve been watching Season 15 of “The Bachelorette” for any period of time, you’ve undoubtedly heard that trademark line aired on repeat in the promos.
This season’s leading woman, Hannah B, shouts the line in a moment of fury ignited by controversial contestant Luke P.
Luke, the uncontested villain of Season 15, has been equally the most infuriating and charming man in the eyes of our Bachelorette, and thus interactions with him have led to a volcanic eruption of emotions.
“Let’s talk about sex and how the marriage bed should be kept pure,” the 24-year-old who is also a professing Christian tells Hannah B. “Let’s say you have had sex with one or multiple of these guys, I would be wanting to go home,” he shared.
Clearly sparking a fire in the bones of an offended ‘Alabama Hannah,’ she replies, “I can not believe you just said that. I’m so mad. I don’t owe you anything.”
Hannah B then infamously adds, “I have had sex, and honestly, Jesus still loves me.”
She also admits that she has had “physical relations” with other contestants, though what that implies is left to the imagination.
The 24-year-old pageant queen’s comment has created a storm of controversy in the media, especially after she defended her comment in a way that many argued water down the [G]ospel.
“Regardless of anything that I’ve done, I can do whatever, I sin daily and Jesus still loves me,” Hannah B Told Entertainment Weekly after the most-talked-about promo of the season aired. “It’s all washed and if the Lord doesn’t judge me and it’s all forgiven, then no other man, woman, animal … anything can judge me.”
