For most of the past 24 hours, Bachelor Nation had been mourning what many believed was the shocking apparent suicide of Josh Seiter, just two weeks after his 36th birthday.
“Extra” was speaking with “The Bachelorette’s” Shawn Booth about the reports that his co-star had died when news broke that Seiter was, in fact, alive.
In an Instagram video, Seiter said that his account had been hacked by someone playing a “cruel joke” and “mocking” his struggles with mental health.
Shawn was relieved, saying, “That’s great news, obviously… Wow, that’s insane, that’s absolutely crazy.”
He added, “That’s wild… I mean, people are sick, too... It’s a relief for everybody.”

View StoryBooth, who is always pushing for mental health, also commented on the trend of death hoaxes. He said, “I don’t know what you can do to prevent hackers, but I feel like there’s gotta be a quicker solution from these social media accounts where you can let them know something’s going on and then they can immediately fix the situation.”
