Walked in on her ex Boyfriend
On an episode of “The Bachelor,” Raven Gates told quite the explicit anecdote about walking in on her ex-boyfriend with another woman. But viewers watching on affiliate KATV in Little Rock, Ark., didn’t get to hear about it. Viewers report that as Gates started telling the tale, the show cut to a commercial break, and picked up again just as the story was over. The station blamed a technical mix-up. In an interview, KATV general manager Mark Rose called it “truly one of those unfortunate errors.” He said that Gates’s anecdote was cut because the master control department – which preps the shows and puts the timing sheets in for each program – entered the wrong time, so a commercial break accidentally ran during the show’s content.
