Hannah Brown unleashed on Luke Parker after his confidence escalated to cockiness! The Bachelorette confronted the former front runner, who previously said he was falling in love with her, on the May 27 episode. Scroll below to see the awkward showdown.
Hannah, 24, said in a confessional, “I know he’s probably one of my strongest connections but like it’s annoying when Luke P tries to flaunt our connection in front of the guys. There’s been some little red flags about the way he carries himself that bothers me a little bit.”
She then pulled Luke P., 24, aside during the second group date. He told her, “I really don’t think these guys have what it takes to be your future husband.”
Hannah stopped his speech and said, “I’m glad we automatically had a deep connection, but I’ve been struggling with it a little bit. I feel like you already think it’s promised to you and that bothers me a lot. I feel like your confidence in this kind of makes me irritated in a way.”

The former Miss Alabama ended their conversation, “I want you to focus on me and you do that. But you also don’t respect that I have other relationships here for me and that bothers me. I like confidence but it’s cocky in a way. I don’t like that at all. Okay? I want it to change.”
Luke silently nodded in agreement. However, in a confessional he said, “Hannah told me that she’s irritated with how I’m acting. I’m coming off arrogant and too confident and I don’t feel like I’ve been acting that way. I don’t see her, seeing me like that. It doesn’t make sense to me. I just want to continue to move on. I’m gonna act like the conversation never happened.”
The former favorite didn’t change, and continued to interrupt Hannah as she had one-on-one time with other contestants. She then reprimanded him and said, “I promise I’m going to talk to you again, but I don’t want to do this right now. Let me talk to everybody, but like I want to call my own shots, okay? I want to call my own shots. I said I was going to talk to you and I will talk to you again.”
Towards the end of the evening, she also told Luke, “I still don’t feel like you’re getting it, okay? You’re not the only relationship that I have a strong connection with and I don’t feel like you’ve respected that even tonight. So I just need you to work harder and fix this.”
