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 Bumble shared the letter on Facebook, Ashley commented to thank them personally, and The Bumble Hive gave her even more support.
