The Bachelor and The Bachelorette During
Juan Pablo Galavis' season of
The Bachelor (
season 18), Dorfman made it to the eighth episode before pulling herself from the competition. Dorfman then starred in
The Bachelorette season 10, which premiered on May 19, 2014. She was the first Jewish woman to star in this role. She took leave from her job as an assistant district attorney to be on the show. She later resigned from her position rather than ask for additional leave. Her choice as the winner was Josh Murray, to whom she became engaged in May; on January 8, 2015, Murray and Dorfman announced their decision to end their engagement. On February 20, 2017, she made a surprise appearance on
Nick Viall's season of
The Bachelor; Viall had been Murray's runner-up during Dorfman's
Bachelorette season and had sharply questioned her choice of Murray during the season finale. Following Dorfman's breakup with Murray, she wrote a book titled "It's Not Okay", detailing their tumultuous relationship and breakup, which was referenced by numerous contestants in season three of
Bachelor in Paradise. == Personal life ==
