Though many dating app users have ???? ?????encountered disappointing and downright disrespectful interactions, Bumble refuses to tolerate that sort of behavior on its app.
After a Bumble conversation showed female user, Ashley Helmbreck, receiving extremely out-of-line, abusive messages from a male user named Connor, the dating app stepped in to defend Ashley by posting an open letter about the exchange on Twitter.
SEE ALSO: I asked my colleagues to take over my online love lifeThe dating app, created by Tinder cofounder Whitney Wolfe, was designed with the intention of being a safe and respectful place for women. Wolfe left Tinder and sued company CMO Justin Mateen for alleged sexual harassment, and as a result of her negative experiences, launched the rival dating app.
Bumble learned of a perplexing interaction between two users -- Ashley and Connor -- after Millionaire Matchmaker cast member David Cruz III tweeted screenshots and blogged about the exchange.
Rather than stand by, Bumble chimed in to take a public stand against bullying.
Though Ashley and Connor's conversation appeared to start out normally, it took a very quick and aggressive turn. After the two exchanged formalities, Ashley asked Connor what he does for a living (omg -- how dareshe,) and essentially, all hell broke loose.
After accusing Ashley of "recklessly" bringing up work and "prying" into his career before getting to know him, Connor proceeded to call her an "entitled, gold digging whore" and insult her career, salary and educational background, while simultaneously celebrating his own.
Connor somehow even managed to negatively bring Beyoncé into the discussion. Boy, bye.
In response, Bumble tweeted "An Open Letter to Connor," which they posted on their blog, along with the message, "We have a zero tolerance policy for bullying on Bumble."
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
In the letter, The Bumble Hive explains the mind-blowing concepts of working women and equality to Connor -- addressing him as a "small-minded, misogynist boy."
Bumble also announced that Connor has been blocked from using the app and created the hashtags #ImWithAshley and #LaterConnor, which supporters began using to weigh in on the issue via social media.
After Bumble shared the letter on Facebook, Ashley commented to thank them personally, and The Bumble Hive gave her even more support.
Mashable reached out to Ashley for comment and will update this post once we receive a response.
