Another ‘Bachelorette’ Bombshell: Contestant Lincoln Adim Convicted Of Indecent Assault and Battery
Becca’s season of The Bachelorette has certainly gotten off to a murky start; thanks to some of the male contestants in the running who want that final rose from her.
News today came to light on contestant Lincoln Adim, the Boston-based account sales executive with the rock solid body and attitude to boot, that rubbed some of the other guys the wrong way in the first episode of the season.
Reality Steve who broke the story revealed Wednesday, that Adim had been convicted of indecent assault and battery last month and has to register as a sex offender.
E Online received a statement on the situation from the Suffolk Country District Attorney’s office in Massachusetts where it confirmed that in May, and a week before the new season premiered, that Adim was found guilty of groping and assaulting a woman on a harbor cruise ship in 2016.
In their statement, it related that Adim was sentenced to one year in a house of correction, with that term suspended for a two-year probationary period. In addition, he was ordered to stay away from the victim and had to attend three AA meetings per week.
To make matters worse … by law he has to register as a sex offender. The report goes on to say that if Lincoln complies with the judge’s orders, he will not have to serve out his term, but if he fails to comply with those orders or re-offends, he could be ordered to serve out the year in jail.
ABC has not commented on the legal situation, nor has Becca Kufrin.
Reality Steve revealed that he was told on Monday that Adim was in court. He said that ‘Bachelor’ season 15 contestant, Ashley Spivey obtained the district attorney’s office’s statement for him. Spivey tweeted it as well.
Season 14 of The Bachelorette began filming in March and wrapped in mid-May. As viewers have seen, going into the rose ceremony on the upcoming, June 18th episode, Adim is one of 17 men remaining.
News of Adim’s conviction comes on the heels of first impression rose winner, Garrett Yrigoyen, who made the news for “liking” offensive posts on Instagram targeting the trans community, and mocking a Parkland shooting survivor, among others.
What do you think now about the caliber of men on this season’s ‘Bachelorette’? Comment below.
Not impressed with a good number of the men for a variety of reasons. I would love to bring down the ego of Mr male model Jordan. He is way too in love with himself to leave room for anyone else. Lincoln had an air about him that felt like trouble and it seems to have panned out to be so. I like the current football player, the guy she had the one on one with Monday night and I like Colton I think his name is….former football player. This is most definitely not my favourite season. I’m not overly impressed with Becca.
Those women, ucky..
Whoring” Your Integrity and Losing Self-Respect
Pitting one guy against the other is nasty.
And any man that would want a woman that played him against other men I have no respect for him.
How can the man feel the winner when the woman he ‘won’ has also felt love for the others and had to decide which one she wanted.
She is whoring herself out and that was 1st said by guys around here.
Its a really dumb show…and much is staged!!!
A few things…
1. The Bachelorette REALLY MESSED UP with the choice for the ‘bachelorette’ for this season. Becca…whose voice alone is BEYOND ANNOYING!!!!!
2. Over half of the guys for this season are nothing but BLUSTERING FOOLS!!!!! To me, they look like they’re there just for CAMERA TIME!!!!! Idiots.
3. More and more, the fellas’ wardrobes…BEYOND WHACK!!!!! Beyond yuck.
Later.
Good grief! Don’t they vet these people???!!!
Not surprised at all!

George Cheeks, CBS President & CEO, on Timeline to Launch New Daytime Drama, ‘The Gates’: “We’re So Focused on Getting it Right”
March 2024 will be remembered in the TV and soap world when the news broke that CBS is prepping a brand new daytime drama. Many had thought a major network would never bring a new daytime soap into the world, given that the last time it was attempted was 25 years ago when the now defunct Passions bowed on NBC.
However, The Gates is definitely in development and moving forward with some major players associated with it including: Michele Val Jean as The Gates writer, showrunner and one of its executive producers, and Sheila Ducksworth from NAACP Venture
Now, for the first time since its announcement, George Cheeks, the president and CEO of CBS and chief content officer for news and sports at Paramount+, spoke on the project that will feature a Black family as its central focus who live in a wealthy gated community.
Speaking with Vulture, and when asked if The Gates is really something that truly has a chance of getting on the air, Cheeks clarified, “It’s super real. And just to give you a little bit of the backstory, when we hired Sheila Ducksworth to run the NAACP Venture, she and I had multiple meetings talking about what different genres she was going to lean into, and we talked a lot about daytime.”
Cheeks added, “One of the things that the data made very clear to both of us is that daytime soap operas over index with Black women, and yet when you look at soap operas, it’s usually sort of a white-led family with supporting characters that reflect more of our society. So we just thought, wouldn’t it be interesting to flip that and make the core anchor family a Black family, and then make the other characters reflect more the broader scope of society?”
The CEO gave props to Michele Val Jean, and how Ducksworth came to the table with the former B&B and GH writer. “She found this great writer, Michele Val Jean, who’s been in the soap opera space for 30 years. She came up with a pitch, and we loved it,” shares Cheeks. “We brought Procter & Gamble into it as well, because if there were going to be (product) integrations, we could do it more holistically and organically. All of that is to say, we did a lot of work on the front end to put this together. So while yes, it’s development, it’s accelerated development.”
When prodded on the timeline of when The Gates could come to full fruition, Gates related, “The actual timeline and when we’re going to do it is still uncertain, because we want to get this right. I mean, there hasn’t been a new soap opera launch since I can’t even begin to tell you when. But we have great success with Bold and the Beautiful and Young and the Restless, and so we think we’re the right folks to be launching a new soap. I wish I could tell you more about exact timing, but we’re so focused on getting it right, and that will dictate when we’re ready to launch it.”
The CBS exec also shared that whether The Gates will wind up an hour soap or half-hour is not yet determined, but that it is being developed as an hour show.
So, after reading what George Cheeks, the CBS President & CEO had to say about ‘The Gates’, are you even more excited for what looks to the first new network soap in 25 years? Comment below.

51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Announce Broadcast Date on CBS
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) revealed on Tuesday, that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will be broadcast live on Friday night, June 7th (8 – 10 PM, ET/delayed PT) on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+*.
This year will mark the 18th time CBS has broadcast the Daytime Emmy Awards, which is more than any other network.
The 2024 Daytime Emmys will take place at the Westin Bonaventure in downtown Los Angeles. Back in December of 2023, the delayed 50th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards were also held at that venue. The June 7th date for the upcoming ceremony will be the first time in several years that the event is scheduled a few weeks earlier than normal; excluding last year’s revised date to the actors and writers strikes.
Lifetime Achievement honoree, nominations, host, and additional information will be announced in the coming weeks.
In a statement, Adam Sharp, President and CEO of NATAS noted, “We eagerly anticipate our return in June as we once again partner with CBS to recognize the exceptional and talented individuals who make daytime television great. We’re thrilled to kick off our second half-century of the Daytime Emmys.”
The Daytime Emmy Awards have recognized outstanding achievement in television programming and crafts since 1974, honoring work in a variety of categories, including daytime dramas, talk shows, instructional programming, hosting, culinary, and legal/courtroom programs. In 2021, NATAS and the Television Academy jointly announced plans to realign the Daytime and Primetime Emmy Awards to be organized by content genre, as opposed to program airtime.
The 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards will once again be produced by NATAS and Associated Television International (ATI), which produced Daytime Emmy Award ceremonies on The CW in 2009 and on CBS in 2010, 2011, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. Adam Sharp and Lisa Armstrong are executive producers from NATAS, while David McKenzie is executive producer from ATI.
So, glad to know that the 51st Annual Daytime Emmy Awards honoring performance and shows in the 2023 calendar year, will be held in early June this year, and once again broadcast on CBS? Comment below.
