Bachelorette candidate accused of "constantly" sending direct messages to a woman

A potential Bachelorette contestant was accused of attempting to contact a woman on Instagram for two years.

Sam Smith, a Twitter user, claimed that Matt Dione had tried to reach her more than a dozen times via Instagram instant messenger, although she never replied .

On Friday, Sam posted screenshots of the one-sided conversation on Twitter after learning that Matt had been nominated as a possible candidate for the upcoming season of The Bachelorette.

"This guy took me on me regularly": Sam Smith, a Twitter user, said that Matt Dione had tried to join her several times on Instagram Direct Messenger, even if she had never responded.

"This guy used to talk to me on my computer for 2 years and now he is a candidate for the new Lmao Bachelorette," she subtitled the tweets.

In screenshots, the 31-year-old Florida resident reportedly attempted to contact Sam in 2017 at the end of 2018.

The last message posted on screenshots was dated November 26 and Matt would have written, "Sorry, Matt, that does not interest him anymore, I'm sure you're a nice guy but I can not take that risk. Good day! & # 39; & # 39;
