Jackie O, a popular radio personality, recently announced that she is ready to start dating again. During a discussion on her radio show, she mentioned that she had been approached by Channel 10 to become the next Bachelorette, a reality TV dating show. However, she firmly declined the offer, stating that she would never consider doing something like that. Although the show is entertaining for viewers, Jackie emphasized that it wouldn’t be the right fit for her.
When asked about the amount of money offered to her, Jackie didn’t reveal the exact figure but hinted that it was over $300,000, which is the reported earnings of another celebrity who participated in the show. Despite the tempting salary, Jackie remained adamant that no amount of money would convince her to sign on as the Bachelorette. She expressed concerns about the authenticity of the connections formed on the show and believed that it wouldn’t be a suitable dating experience for her.
