Tuesday, rumours flew everywhere that Brendan Morais lost his NordicTrack sponsorship due to sexist comments made on Bachelor in Paradise.Brendan now speaks out about his alleged firing. You can read his comments about the situation below. Is it true? Is this a rumour that is floating around Bachelor Nation?
Was Brendan Morais fired by NordicTrack?
US Weeklyshared Brendan’s response to allegedly being fired by NordicTrack. The allegations are untrue. Brendan Morais said, “While neither myself nor my manager has been in contact with NordicTrack regarding this matter, my partnership was never supposed to be long term.”
He continued saying, “I wish things had happened differently on the beach and I’m regretful about how I handled things with Natasha.” Brendan went on, “With that being said, I completely understand companies need to consider reality TV edits in order to protect their brand, I just know there is more to me than what the audience gets to see for an hour once a week.”
Brendan’s ad for NordicTrack was posted to his Instagram on August 17. The message tells followers to click the link in his bio for more. Since then, that link has been removed.
NordicTrack has yet to respond to any requests for comment. However, sources close to them say the fitness company “has not expressed any concern over what’s been going on withBachelor in Paradise.”
The source went on to say, “This comes out of the blue to Brendan as he has not learned about the alleged firing nor has heard from NordicTrack these last few days.” They continued, “He finished the collaboration with NordicTrack a week or two ago and has only communicated with them regarding logistics.”
So, it looks like perhaps his time with NordicTrack just ran out. It will be interesting to see if they keep him around for more ads, or if he goes elsewhere.
He’s got one friend on his side
Bachelor Nation was outraged with Brendan and Pieper James for their actions. Fans were outraged at Natasha Parker’s treatment. While most have not condoned Brendan’s behaviour on the beach, one friend is still there by his side. It is Dr Joe Park.
Brendan’s close friend is Dr Joe Park. You can see the two of them laughing together on social media. Joe has not spoken publicly about Brendan’s story. He was shocked to learn that the information had been shared with him at the beach.
With losing over 100k followers, it’s nice Brendan still has a friend in Dr Joe.
