“It Hit Me Like a Truck”: Leslie Fhima Suffers Violent Illness, Warns Golden Bachelor Fans to Stay Alert

Millions of viewers watched Leslie Fhima’s heartbreak on Golden Bachelor when Gerry Turner dumped her before the final rose ceremony. Since her time on the reality show, she’s returned to her normal life as a fitness instructor. But she also uses her newfound fame for a little bit of social media influencing. However, she took to social media with a dire warning after getting violently ill trying a new product. Keep reading for all the details.

Leslie Fhima Talks Bachelor In Paradise

ABC announced in March that the seniors from The Golden Bachelor and The Golden Bachelorette will be on Season 10 of Bachelor In Paradise. Leslie Fhima was one of the older contestants officially named so far, along with Gary Levingston. The other confirmed names are Bachelorette stars Hakeem Moulton, Jonathon Johnson and Bachelor Season 29 third-place runner-up Zoe McGrady.

The beach spinoff began filming this weekend, as Wells Adams, Jesse Palmer, and BIP newbie Hannah Brown confirmed. But before filming began, Leslie Fhima joined Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile for a chat on the Bachelor Happy Hour podcast.

Leslie Fhima said it felt like “forever” ago that she was the runner-up on The Golden Bachelor. She talked about how she resumed her normal life since leaving the show. She caused quite a bit of speculation last summer by hanging out with Jordan Heller from Joan’s season of The Golden Bachelorette.

However, she told the podcast hosts that they were just friends. Leslie Fhima said that they have a lot in common but haven’t explored anything beyond friendship. Besides Jordan, Leslie said she has only met a few of Joan’s exes, including Gary Levingston and Pascal Ibgui.

Pascal already revealed that he won’t be on BIP. But Leslie Fhima is keeping an open mind about other Golden Bachelorette alums she might meet on the beach.

Golden Bachelor Star Gets Violently Ill, Warns Fans

Leslie Fhima may be in Costa Rica filming Bachelor In Paradise. But she is also still posting content on social media. She took to her Instagram Story with an important PSA for fans. According to Leslie Fhima, she often receives free products to review and post about on social media.

However, she doesn’t just post positive reviews. She had a very negative experience with a supplement she recently tried. She revealed that the company Feel Free sent her a trial drink supplement. The Golden Bachelor star recounted taking it before her Pilates class and it didn’t go well.

She said that she got sick during class and barely made it to the bathroom before throwing up. She was so ill that it took her a while to get back home. Once she did, she immediately climbed into bed, which she said wasn’t like her at all.

Even days later, Leslie Fhima said she still wasn’t feeling 100% better. She encouraged her followers and other influencers to be careful if the company reached out to them to try the product. Leslie Fhima claimed that while doing her research on the product after the fact, she found out that it’s allegedly highly addictive.

One Bachelor Nation fan praised Leslie Fhima for speaking out. “Good for Leslie for doing her due diligence before shilling and now spreading the word. This stuff is awful,” they wrote on social media.
