Arie Luyendyk, Jr.’s much-discussed relationship with a producer on The Bachelorette will apparently be discussed on next week’s episode of the hit show.

This has been well-documented throughout the season, but until now, it was unclear if Emily knew at all, let alone found out in the middle of the season.

Numerous reports about Arie Luyendyk, Jr. and Cassie Lambert have circulated, though his friends have defended him and downplayed the relationship.

What really happened and how will Emily Maynard react?

The surprising preview for next week (above) certainly makes it look like she’s not happy, though the producers may be more to blame than Arie here.

According to Reality Steve, when Emily found out, she realized the show’s brain trust knew about Cassie and Arie the whole time and kept it from her.

“Arie was told to never bring up the Cassie relationship to Emily and that it was already taken care of,” according to Steve, “yet, it wasn’t taken care of.”

However Emily does find out about Arie and Cassie having a relationship, it remains to be seen whether it will torpedo the race car driver’s chances.

The Bachelorette spoilers we’ve posted throughout the season offer some hints in that regard. What do you think? Should she kick him off the show?

If she does, she’ll be parting ways with one of the favorites. Check out this clip of Arie and Emily on last night’s episode, getting cozy in Croatia …
