Oh.
This is awkward.
An email between The Bachelorette’s Taite Radley and a talent manager has been leaked and well, it’s a little bit cringe.
The leaked email, which was sent to The Daily Telegraph by an anonymous high-profile talent manager, sees Taite trying to sell Ali Oetjen and himself as a good match for professional representation.
Yep, we know, not too surprising for a post-reality TV show couple.
After all, many Bachelor and Bachelorette stars have stayed in the public eye, with many finding work off the back of their reality TV stints.
But here’s where things get awkward.
Taite’s email was filled with spelling errors.
So much so that the talent manager in question even told the Daily Telegraph that they were less than impressed with Taite’s email.
“As a manager who has been in the game a long time, I was shocked at the poorly worded inquiry, which was riddled with spelling mistakes,” they said.
Taite’s email read:
“Across both our pages combined we had close to 2milion [sic] visits over 7 days.
“Being both into Heath [sic] and fitness, we’re both looking at getting some good management to help strengthen our brand.
“We are currently getting offers but are unsure how to handel [sic] them.”
Eek.
Just last week, Ali and Taite were accused of faking their relationship to stay in the public eye.
Fans believe the pair’s over-the-top make-out sessions are simply for the cameras and that the couple’s constant lovey-dovey Instagram posts are all just a publicity stunt.
A ‘friend’ of Taite also reportedly suggested that the couple’s relationship wasn’t genuine.
“Taite is only sticking around to get his Instagram numbers up and enjoy the perks of paid posts and free holidays,” the ‘source’ told New Idea.
“As soon as that starts to dry up, he will be gone.”

Publicly embarrassing someone because of their spelling is so mean. My husband, who due to his parents lack of care, was never given the opportunity to learn properly or overcome his learning difficulties and he is SO embarrassed about his spelling and grammar. I know he would be mortified if one person mocked an email he had sent so imagine how the poor writer of this email feels being mocked by thousands. This email was never made to be public and publicly mocking someone's intelligence is a pretty gross low blow.
My husband is similar (not coz of his parents or anything). How do we know he’s not dyslexic? He may be a bit of a tool, but that’s hitting below the belt.
As a reformed grammar Nazi I completely agree. My job was proofreading and editing. I freely admit I would judge others on the use of "your" vs "you're" etc. Then I started dating a guy whose texts would make me cringe they were so riddled with errors. Once he found out the specifics of my job he told me how embarrassed he was, and how much I must hate his texts. He said he'd tried so hard at school but could never get his head around spelling and grammar. He went to a great private school and excelled at math and science. It endeared me to him even more and made me realise judging people like that is super rude and not OK!
As a teacher i don't like this either. I see so many kids with learning difficulties shut down and essentially shut out because of their poor grammar and spelling.
