‘Bachelorette’ Fans Criticize Charity Lawson After TV Commercial

Charity Lawson made her acting debut last month and fans voiced mixed reactions. Here’s the commercial that has Bachelor Nation buzzing.

It’s been nearly a year since Bachelor Nation viewers watched Dotun Olubeko propose to Charity Lawson during the Season 20 Bachelorette finale. The couple shared plans to marry in October 2025, but rumors swirled that they might have eloped earlier this summer.

However, the speculation was just that—they participated in a professional photo shoot. Charity shared a behind-the-scenes glimpse on her Instagram Story, showcasing a stunning white dress and a meticulously styled hairdo. The couple graced the cover of MunaLuchi Bride magazine, capturing attention with their exquisite wedding-themed look.

ABC introduced Jenn Tran as the Season 21 Bachelorette lead, welcoming her with support from two earlier stars, Trista Sutter and Charity Lawson. Trista and Charity appeared in a commercial during Jenn Tran’s season premiere in July.

The commercial featured the former Bachelorette stars getting ready together in a partnership with the cosmetics company Maybelline, promoting their Fit Me foundation.

The commercial received a warm response on Charity Lawson’s social media, though not everyone was impressed. One fan took to Reddit to criticize Charity’s acting, stating, “This girl CAN NOT ACT to save her life. When she says ‘I need your honest opinion,’ it sounds so unnatural.”

Other fans quickly came to Charity’s defense with supportive comments:

• “I’ll be waiting for your commercial and see if you can do better.”
• “I mean, did she ever claim to be an actress? Next time, think before you type!”
• “I thought she did fine!”
• “It’s not that bad, relax. Just say you hate Charity and move on.”
• “She is absolutely adorable.”
• “I think it’s cute. And she’s totally adorable…”
• “Lol she’s a reality star, not a seasoned actress.”
• “Rude, ignorant, and completely unnecessary post.”

Despite her recent foray into commercial work, Charity Lawson doesn’t appear to be eyeing a Hollywood career. Last month, she expressed her intention to return to her pre-Bachelorette profession on a part-time basis.
