Andi Dorfman Brief Relationship With Josh Murray

Earlier, Andi proceeded to star on The Bachelorette in 2014 when she rejected runner-up Nick Viall and got engaged to winner Josh Murray. The finale aired in July 2014 and later was the star of season 10 of The Bachelorette.

Andi had accused Josh of being verbally offensive, temperamental, and controlling in her book — which Josh in turn called “fiction.”

I was disgusted with myself for what I put up with. I was a strong, independent woman and I allowed [Josh] to be [emotionally abusive]. Now, I know I don’t want someone jealous or controlling. I know what won’t make me happy in [the future],” Andi told People in 2016.

We all have red flags in our relationships that we don’t see. Looking back and seeing those red flags was very cathartic for me. I realized our relationship wasn’t the highlight of my life like I thought it was. So I took it off the pedestal and realized all was not lost.”
