On Sunday’s premiere episode of The Bachelors two contestants clashed over their line of work.
Anastasia, 32, was discussing her career and asked the other women to guess what she does for a living.
Mel, 35, took a moment to provide an answer, before she suggested, ‘Are you a stripper?’
A clearly offended Anastasia then replied, ‘No’ without clarifying what she does do for a job.
Anastasia is a Property Developer from Victoria, while Mel is an Indigenous Mentor from the Northern Territory.

‘Have these women been told to just say random and offensive things to each other for the drama?’ someone else wrote.
‘So does Mel assume that every hot b***h is automatically a stripper?!’ one more person asked.
‘Anastasia, what’s wrong with being a stripper? I’m sure some people would consider it better than being a property developer lol’ someone else said.
‘I think I like Mel. I think we will find Anastasia is not a property developer’ one conspiracy theorist mused.
