Clare Crawley Teases Her Exit In Explosive 'Bachelorette' Trailer — Watch!

It’s going down! In a new trailer for The Bachelorette — which premieres on Tuesday, October 13 — Clare Crawley teases her exit from the series, and as a result, her suitors are less than pleased.

Later on, Crawley meets Dale Moss — the man she is reportedly engaged to — and they form an instant connection while chatting. So much so, the blonde beauty declares that he might even be her "husband."

However, things get messy quickly as Crawley is seen crying and is comforted by another woman. "I expected way more from the oldest Bachelorette," one man yells. 

"I don't care what I've done. To sit there and say you're the oldest Bachelorette. Guess what, I'm the oldest Bachelorette that's 39, that's standing here, that's single because I didn't settle for men like that," Crawley screams.

Then, the men seem to have an issue with Moss, 32. "It’s only a matter of time before Clare realizes the truth — that Dale’s maybe not who Clare thinks he is," one contestant says as the camera shows a clip of Crawley cuddling with Moss in bed.

"I don't know what that means, like, OK, do we get a new Bachelorette in here?" one contestant asks, teasing Tayshia Adams' arrival.

"What the f**k just happened?" asks another.

While it’s unclear what exactly happens, Harrison tells Crawley, "The path we’re on right now, it doesn’t end well. For you, for the guys, for anybody. Congratulations. You've just blown up The Bachelorette."

Season 16 of The Bachelorette was supposed to begin filming in March, but due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, plans were halted. During the hiatus, the Bachelor in Paradise alum was able to talk to some of her suitors before she met them in real life.

"The leaks to the press that Bachelorette producers plotted all along for Clare to quit mid-season and be replaced by a new Bachelorette — who happened to be waiting in the wings — could destroy any trust left in the franchise," the insider added. "Everyone associated with the show has been warned that they signed a non-disclosure agreement, and legal action will be taken if the contract is violated."

The Bachelorette returns on ABC on Tuesday, October 13, at 8 p.m. ET.
