‘Bachelor in Paradise’ star evacuated to hospital for bathroom problems turns crappy situation into positive lesson
Samantha Jeffries is using the unwanted fame she received from her televised experience of being backed up for 12 days to release a children’s book, “Sam Can’t Poop.”The red-haired beauty gets stopped by fans of the ABC dating series — where alums from “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” mingle on the beach in Mexico — who remember her inability to make No. 2, which prompted medical intervention and a tearful early exit.“I was at a pool in Scottsdale, and this mom and daughter come up to me and they go, ‘Are you the poop girl from ‘The Bachelor?’ And I was like, ‘I can’t believe that’s how people know me, but yes,'” Jeffries, 29, told The Post. “And the mom was like, ‘Every time I poop, I think of you.'” Jeffries, an occupational therapist based in Cincinnati, OH, works with many children who struggle in the bathroom, and she and her former co-worker-turned-co-author, Carly Nguyen, had the idea for a kids’ book to help “normalize pooping” before she even went on the show.
