“Single” contestant agent Taylor Nolan is being investigated by Washington state health officials for racist comments she made on the Internet, as confirmed exclusively on page six.
Earlier this month, we reported that the state agency was still thinking about whether or not to investigate the “Bachelor” student after receiving “multiple complaints” from people who thought the mental health counselor’s license should be revoked. of the reality star because of his controversial tweets.
While an investigation is now underway, Washington Department of Health spokesman Gordon MacCracken said Wednesday on page six that “it does not necessarily mean disciplinary action, only that we are moving into the phase of an investigation “.
MacCracken added that there is no specific timeline for how long the investigation may take or that he “can predict an outcome.” The DOH will not comment further on the investigation as it is still pending.
A Nolan representative declined to comment on the latest development.
The 27-year-old reality star, who first appeared in Nick Viall’s season of “The Bachelor” and later in “Bachelor in Paradise,” earned her license as a mental health counselor in Washington in 2016. .
The DOH previously told us that it had no “previous disciplinary record.”
However, Nolan, who has a white mother and an African-American father, suffered a fire in February over old tweets, in which he ripped off BIPOC, LGBTQ and the mental health communities.
The tweets included that he was talking about “strong ass blacks” and that “the #Asian problem is not s” because stereotypes include “they have a small penis”. He also angered people by writing, “#WeWontWorkIf I’ve ever diagnosed you with a personality disorder,” and responded to the thread, “Treatment: SUICIDE.”
“My tweets from ten years ago are small, they suck, they make mistakes and they hurt,” he said in a 30-minute apology video. “I want to be clear that they don’t take away from me the job I do today, they are literally how I came to do that job.”
Since the scandal, Nolan has kept a pretty low profile on social media. On March 15, he shared that he was “taking time and space to refocus and reflect” and resurfaced last week to talk about the attacks on the Asian community.
