The Bachelorette star Blake Colman is reportedly being investigated for allegations of threatening to sell nude photos of his ex-girlfriend, The Bachelor’s Jennifer Hawke.
The Daily Mail reports that Jen told Police she received a text message from Blake where he threatened to sell nude photos she had sent him during their relationship. Allegedly, Blake sent texts threatening to sell nude photos of her to the media after she shared a post on her private Facebook page about his appearance on The Bachelorette.
According to a source, Blake sent the message after “Jen posted to her private Facebook page that her phone was going crazy with people sending messages about her former boyfriend, who was one of Sophie’s contestants on the show. She also posted that she was happy to get rid of her ‘douche’ ex'”.
According to The Daily Mail, New South Wales Police confirmed that they received a report in relation to the incident and are currently investigating. The publication reports that the police said that “due to the ongoing investigation, no further information is able to be provided.”
The publication revealed that Police have also confirmed that an apprehended violence order has been taken out by Police against Colman, which prevents him from entering Hawke’s home state of New South Wales.
Revenge Porn officially became a crime in NSW earlier this year, with offenders facing jail time and fines up to $11,000 for attacks.
This is the second disturbing legal report to emerge about Colman since his eviction from the series last week. On Friday, Blake’s assault victim Tristan Cooper came forward with the harrowing story of the night he was randomly attacked by the TV star.
