Taylor Nolan, a bachelor’s student, under investigation by the health department … after racist posts from mental health counselors and tweets suggesting ‘suicide’ sparking ‘multiple complaints’
Former single student Taylor Nolan is being investigated by Washington state health officials after fans of the franchise discovered offensive tweets from the mental health advisor, according to Page Six.
The department had previously said it was considering investigating Nolan after receiving ‘several complaints’ about his controversial old posts, which discredited the people of BIPOC and LGBTQ, as well as the mental health community.
But a Washington Department of Health spokesman warned people not to jump to conclusions, as the investigation “does not necessarily mean that disciplinary action will take place, only that we are advancing to the stage of an investigation.”

Prior to this tweet scandal, Nolan – who first appeared in Nick Viall’s season of The Bachelor – had not been the subject of any complaints since she was licensed in 2016.
Spokesman Gordon MacCracken added that there is no timetable for the investigation, nor could he ‘predict a result’. The department declined to comment further.
According to previous reports, the most severe punishment would be ‘suspension or revocation of the license’, but ‘dismissal or withdrawal of the charges’ is also a possibility.
Nolan, whose mother is white and an African-American father, was attacked in February after the offensive directed at several different groups was exposed.
In the posts she complained about ‘loud blacks’, said’ #Asian problems are not s ** t ‘because she didn’t find stereotypes like’ they have a small penis’ particularly offensive, tells Indian men to ‘take a shower’ ‘before to go to the club ‘, among other insults.

In the wrong line of work: some of the mental health advisor’s most worrying tweets signaled cruelty and disrespect for the mental health community that she is supposedly responsible for helping, suggesting that people with personality disorders commit suicide in a particularly upsetting Twitter response

Responding to someone else’s tweet that said ‘#WeWontWorkIf I already diagnosed you with a personality disorder’, Nolan said: ‘Treatment: SUICIDE.’
Nolan addressed the outrage through a 30-minute apology video earlier this month, saying, ‘My tweets from ten years ago suck, they suck, they were wrong and they are painful.’

‘I want to make it clear that they do not harm the work that I do today, they are literally how I got here to do this work.’
Since the scandal, Nolan has been virtually offline.
Last week, she shared a simple Instagram saying she was ‘setting aside time and space to reorient and reflect’.
At the end of the week, Nolan posted a long caption on how to prevent hatred of Asians under an image that said ‘We are not safe until we are all safe’.
She did not address her own past of anti-Asian comments with the post, however.
