It can be recalled that Luke Pell was set to star in "The "Bachelor" Season 21, until he was replaced by Nick Viall. She was not also included in the final castings.

The YouTube video then caught Lauren Hussey's attention, one of the contestants who got eliminated in the first rose ceremony. Hussey claimed that she also had the same encounter with Luke Pell and they had a relationship for four to five months. According to her, Luke Pell also asked her to hide their romance on social media.

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Luke Pell cleared his name in the allegations, saying the two just wanted to taint his image. "I'm respectful," he said. "If they want to take it in another direction, that's their prerogative. I don't approve of it, but that's their choice."

Luke Pell claimed his relationship with Hussey did not work well. As for Synder's claim, Luke Pell slammed the blogger for making it look like they actually dated.

"The Bachelorette" star said they did not have any relationship to begin with and that they only went out a couple of times. "She was someone I talked to a few times, so this wasn't a big deal," he explained. "I just stopped talking to her. On that video, she made it seem liked I dated her, but there is no way I ever dated her!"

He also added that Synder just wanted social media attention.
