Bachelor: Matt James Goes Viral For Wrong Reasons On All-Star Weekend
Matt James went viral for the wrong reasons on Friday when the former lead of The Bachelor was competing in the Celebrity All-Star game to kick off NBA All-Star weekend in Cleveland. He got a little carried away getting too into the game and it came back to bite him.
Since Matt's season airing, he has been enjoying his dating life with the winner of his season, Rachael Kirkconnell. Although they are not engaged or married yet, it is a feat in itself that he is still with the woman he chose, especially considering the fact that only one out of 25 Bachelors has married the woman he chose at the end of his season. Matt made headlines for being the first Black Bachelor, but since his season ended, he and Rachael have laid relatively low, a result of the intense media scrutiny placed on them early on. Matt and Rachael have been enjoying the perks that come with being a couple that met on The Bachelor. Matt's latest opportunity to reap those benefits came on Friday, when he was on the roster of a Celebrity All-Star game, along with actresses Tiffany Haddish and Brittany Elena, singers Jimmie Allen and Kane Brown, and even Cleveland mayor Justin Bibb.

Unfortunately for the former Dancing With the Stars contestant, he ended up going viral for tapping Brittany in the chest when he was getting ready to shoot a foul shot. This is normal for men to do to each other during a game, a non-verbal way of saying, «I got you. You can trust me to hit this shot,» but when he did it to Brittany, she was instantly taken aback.
