Hello everybody it's Dave Neal we have all of your entertainment news in one place today Tuesday

August 29th 2023 on Bachelor rush hour

All right where do we begin? What a wild day. It went from a kind of slow week to a wild day yesterday. Hannah Brown announces our engagement, and now we've got a death statement turned

hoax.

That's right. Yesterday afternoon, after making the podcast in the evening there was a story pushed by

T.M.Z and all the other entertainment news sites that said Josh Sighter, a week one contestant from Caitlin Bristow's season of The Bachelorette, had he had

ended his life. That's what the statement had said. It was on his own Instagram page.

Everyone picked that up. 20 hours later. He makes a video and says he was hacked.

Now we're going to get into the specifics of this story. It's fascinating, if not tragic,

but if he's still alive, that's a happy ending but of course would be a senseless

imagine there's a million things that would go down after your accounts hacked and you you

I mean who do you reach out to?

You can't get on your social media.

How do people know you're verified when you say it wasn't you?

What Josh doesn't make clear is why it took him 20 hours

to address the hack, as multiple outlets across the globe published a story based on the statement and

either way let's listen to what he has to say I'm not trying to you know victim blame or anything out there but it is a story that is not going

away anytime soon here is what here is what Josh had to say after regaining access to his

Instagram as you can see, I am alive and well.
