In her ABC bio, it’s revealed what Shanae hoped to find by dating Echard during Season 26.

10 episode of “The Bachelor.”

It started when Shanae was chosen to go on a group date with Clayton Echard and some other contestants.

During the outing, Ankney seemingly got jealous of fellow contestant Elizabeth Corrigan monopolizing Echard’s time.

“So I want to expose something about myself,” Elizabeth told Shanae.

“It’s really hard for me to have multiple auditory inputs because I can’t process the information.

I’ve had it really bad since I was a kid,” she added.

“The audacity of Shanae to shame Elizabeth for having ADHD.

This shouldn’t be allowed at all.

Mental health is no joke!”

“Very disappointed the Bachelor didn’t put up a full screen about mental health after that episode.

Especially after Shenae made fun of it and laughed about it,“tweeted another.

It seems that Ankney is quickly becoming an issue in the “Bachelor” house.
