61-year-old reality TV personality received many explicit photos after appearing on television.

Joan Vassos, the 61-year-old school administrator, made headlines when she appeared on the Golden Bachelor show last year in search of love. Unfortunately, she was forced to leave the show early to take care of her daughter. However, she was later announced as the first ever Golden Bachelorette, with 24 men competing for her heart.

Despite her short stint on TV, Joan received a lot of attention from viewers, with her DMs being inundated with messages from potential suitors. However, navigating through these messages from total strangers was not an easy task for her. Most of the people who messaged her were from different states, making it difficult for her to respond or even consider them as potential partners.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Joan shared her experience with the overwhelming response she received from the show. She admitted that while some messages were flattering, others were just plain weird. She even received explicit pictures and messages from men with foot fetishes. Some even offered to buy all the shoes she wore on the show.

This attention was not only uncomfortable for Joan, but it also raised concerns for her children, who had to help her block these messages. However, she remains hopeful that she will find true love when the Golden Bachelorette premieres on September 18 on ABC.

Joan's decision to appear on the Golden Bachelor show was motivated by the loss of her husband, John, earlier this year due to pancreatic cancer. She wanted to take a chance at finding love again, but her family will always come first for her. This is why she left the show early to be with her children.

Now, as the Golden Bachelorette, Joan has a clearer idea of the type of man she is looking for. On the Bachelor Happy Hour: Golden Hour podcast, she revealed that she is open to a bald suitor, as her late husband was bald and she found him very attractive. She also wants someone who takes care of their health and is physically fit.

Fans can catch the premiere of The Golden Bachelorette on ABC on September 18 at 8pm ET, with episodes available for streaming on Hulu the following day.
