'Bachelor' Fans Put Up Billboards Dedicated To Hating On Arie Luyendyk
March 7 2018, Updated 2:41 p.m. ET
After Monday night's season finale of The Bachelor, Arie Luyendyk quickly became one of reality TV's most infamous villains. In the eleventh hour, Arie dumped his fiancé Becca Kufrin, and instead went back to the runner-up, Lauren Burnham. Fans are not happy about this decision, and now they're letting Arie know by buying billboards trolling the Bachelor. Click through for more details!
Bachelor Nation was furious after Becca was left heartbroken during the dramatic season finale, and they found an interesting way to get their message across to Arie. An anonymous group of fans purchased two billboards, one in Minnesota, Becca's home-state, and another in L.A., where the Final Rose was filmed, to troll the Bachelor star.
Both of the signs read, "Arie... Not Okay, Just Leave" and they're signed, "Everyone."
And Arie might actually have to literally leave Minnesota for real, now that Rep. Drew Christensen went so far as to draft a bill banning the Bachelor from the state.

The fans' billboards were inspired by the Oscar-winning film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, in which the lead character puts up billboards to get the attention of the local police force.
Fans are clearly still not ready to forgive one of the most controversial Bachelor stars in the show's history, and neither are contestants. Bekah Martinez tweeted, "I honestly can’t wish happiness for Arie right now. It’s something i’ll need to work towards. I’m still angry on behalf of my friend who I feel was terribly taken advantage of. I can forgive eventually, but I’m just not there yet!"
