Last week, host Chris Harrison told Entertainment Tonight that two of the Bachelorettes, Meredith Phillips and Jen Scheft, couldn't make the reunion special due to scheduling issues. But according to Reality Steve, that's not true at all. Phillips, who the second Bachelorette in 2004, texted him saying she was never contacted about the reunion special. “No, I was never contacted or spoke to anyone. I didn’t even know the show was happening," Phillips texted, according to Reality Steve. A year ago, Phillips alleged on Reality Steve's podcast that she had been drugged and sexually assaulted by a Bachelorette crew member.
