Ahhh, New York City. The Big Apple. The greatest city in the world.
Stroll through the incredible chaos at Times Square, take in an unforgettable show on Broadway, see the world-famous Yankees play up in the Bronx, rub elbows with power brokers and bankers down on Wall Street, get punched in the face by a crazy person for absolutely no reason at all… wait, what about that last one?!

Unfortunately, 30-year-old Bachelor franchise mainstay Blake Horstmann now knows all too well about getting punched in the face by a “crazy person.” The reality TV star revealed as much in a shocking video posted to his Instagram Stories on Monday night when he recounted a scary recent incident in New York City.
Showing off a gnarly black eye, the Colorado native spoke straight to his followers about what went down in the city that never sleeps, saying:
“Unfortunately I was in New York and some crazy person just punched a bunch of us standing there and I was on the wrong end of one of the punches, unfortunately. Me and like four other people. I got it checked out and everything. I do have a fracture in my orbital bone or something like that. I’m going to see a specialist. So yeah, good start to the new year.”
Yikes!!!
A black eye and a broken bone in the face?! And what was the deal with this “crazy person,” exactly??? So unsettling!
The love-lorn alum of Becca Kufrin‘s season of The Bachelorette added more, too, noting he was going to skip out on some of his regular show breakdowns. Optimistically, though, Horstmann admitted his injuries were already much better after a few days of recovery:
“I don’t know how much of the Bachelor breakdown I’ll be doing, ’cause I don’t think you guys are gonna want to look at my broken face all day. It already looks a thousand times better than it did a couple days ago. But yeah, if I’m not doing a lot tonight for the recap of The Bachelor, this is why.”
A totally acceptable reason to miss out on Monday night’s premiere of Peter Weber‘s season on the show, indeed! Get well soon, dude!!
And yeah, if this swollen aftermath (below) is already “a thousand times better” than whatever it was a couple of days ago, Blake must’ve really taken a solid punch:
OMG!!!
We know Horstmann ended up becoming a bit of a villain in his run on the reality TV show, but come on, you don’t have to punch him for it… Jeez!
Seriously, though, here’s hoping Blake gets better very quickly, along with everyone else who went down swinging in this bizarre incident. So scary!!!
