'The Bachelor': Matt James Gets Involved After Damaging 'Escort' Rumors About a New Contestant

'Who is spreading these rumors? And why?'

Did someone say new contestants? Four weeks into Matt James' Bachelor journey, producers have thrown new women into the mix. 

Last week's episode of the ABC dating show saw the drama-filled departure of one of Matt's frontrunners, Sarah, but before Matt had too much time to think about it, five new women joined the show. 

This week's episode proved that tensions in the house couldn't relax just because Sarah wasn't in it, and two "physical" group dates were the least of it. The original women refused to welcome the newbies into the group, with Anna even spreading a rumor about new contestant Brittany being an escort. 

Brittany denied the allegation, but that didn't stop the rumor from spreading to the rest of the house... and Matt.
