After the epic conclusion of Michelle Young's adventure as The Bachelorette, our leading lady faced lots of backlash for choosing Nayte Olukoya over fan-favorite Brandon Jones.

It's clear that Michelle's family adored Brandon, as they gushed over him and declared him as "part of the family" right through the season finale. As for Nayte, they'd their reservations and weren't sure he was the one.

Plus, Nayte did not open up as a lot as Michelle wished on their late date. During the ritual, the native shaman revealed that Nayte will not be confident about his long run with Michelle.

When the shaman asked Nayte what he needs to unencumber all through the rite, he says, "nervousness and the fear of the unknown." Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to warn Michelle.

"During that ritual, I didn't feel like I was getting enough from Nayte," she stated to the cameras. "That's a dealbreaker. That's this massive red flag."

OK, so if Michelle first of all felt this fashion about Nayte, why did she pick him finally? Brandon had no trouble opening up, so what is so special about Nayte that she couldn't undergo letting him cross? Let's to find out!

Why did Michelle pick Nayte on 'The Bachelorette'?

The most obvious reason why behind Michelle choosing Nayte at the end of her search for love is that she really fell in love with him. And it sort of feels Nayte fell in love with her as well, so Bachelor Nation must feel free for them ... right?

Sadly, the newly engaged couple is dealing with serious backlash, specifically Nayte. Viewers are questioning Nayte's intentions, as he appeared cocky on the show and appeared too immature to suggest.

"Did [you] see Nayte's smirk? No way would I marry a man who felt like he'd just pulled off the greatest scam. Sorry, Nayte. That was a huge red flag. He's handsome, but so what?" one fan wrote on Twitter.

Another added, "Michelle had to literally do a ritual to make Nayte like express his emotions, and if that’s not a red flag, I don't know what is, girl. You didn't follow your heart; you watched it walk up those stairs with Brandon and walked the other way."

Though the pair aren't receiving that much make stronger from the franchise fandom, it does not bother them. As a matter of reality, Michelle's "SoulNayte" poked a laugh on the complaint in an Instagram post.

"Love, Nayte — Your 6’8”, Costco Chris Brown, walking red flag," he signed on the end of his heartfelt post for his fiancée. Hey, if he can dismiss the hate, that shows how serious he is about Michelle.

Michelle and Nayte disregarded the "walking red flag" claims.

On Dec. 22, Michelle and Nayte spoke with Us Weekly about their relationship. Also, Michelle defended her fiancé in opposition to the ones claiming he is a "walking red flag."

"This man was not really smooth with his words, but if he was smooth with his words, then it’s a red flag because he is, you know, a smooth talker." She continued, "It is what it is. And as long as you understand that, and as long as Nayte knows that I understand him, we’ve learned how to communicate."

Nayte added his own enter as well and stated, "At the end of the day, it is just noise. It is just fluff … I know who I am. Michelle knows who I am. Michelle was able to see me for me so early on. And that’s really all that matters."

"I know that what I was saying was me just doing my best at trying to explain what was going on inside with all these new feelings, amazing feelings, and exciting feelings," he famous. "Maybe I’m no longer the best at expressing myself, but Michelle got the purpose, in order that’s what matters.”
