Fans SLAM 'The Bachelor's Nick Viall For NSFW IG Pic: 'Is Anything Sacred Anymore?'

Bachelor Nation's Nick Viall is celebrating Valentine's Day loud and proud!

The former 'Bachelor' recently popped the question to girlfriend Natalie Joy with an extravagant engagement. Viall and Joy are celebrating their first Valentine's Day as an engaged couple by keeping matters pretty 'bare,' and some of Viall's Instagram followers aren't having it!

The couple, who is nearly two decades apart, have been quite proud to passionately live their love story in their own way, without letting criticism get in their way. Still, though, there are some Bachelor Nation fans who take issue with the ways in which the duo choose to share their love with the world.

On Valentine's Day, Viall posted a rather NSFW Insta-photo, and some skeptical Bachelor Nation fans didn't hesitate to let Viall know their thoughts!

Viall, 42, and Joy, 23, have been known to celebrate and display their love on Instagram, in a way that sometimes shocks some fans.

The couple celebrated Halloween by dressing up as Jessica and Roger Rabbit last year- a costume combo that fans approved of!

For Viall, getting to the point where he could be in a tight and happy relationship where he and his partner unabashedly put their love on display, took a second. According to our report on the couple's sizzling Halloween costumes, Viall discussed a past roadblock he experienced on the road to true love in his relationship-oriented book, "Don't Text Your Ex Happy Birthday."

"I'm someone who had a really hard time getting over some heartbreaks, and that can be just such a daunting thing. We will find a lot of ways not to get over someone because we love them, or miss what we have. And it's hard not to let go of things. But it's not healthy to hold on to toxic things in a relationship that no longer exists. Someone [who] doesn't wanna be with you- while hard to accept- when you hold on to it, it just truly eats you up inside," Viall writes, in the tenth chapter of "Don't Text Your Ex Happy Birthday."

Viall did indeed eventually find someone who wanted to be with him; his gal made her move by sliding into his DMs! Joy's decision to make the bold move earns a bunch of roses in Viall's opinion!

"It was very romantic," Viall recalled on an episode of "The Viall Files." "We kind of kept hanging out, and she finally got to a point where she was like, 'I want to date,' and I was kind of like, 'I don't know... She just was like, 'OK, this is what I want. No big deal, but I'm gonna go do my thing,' and she did, and I was like, 'What?!' She went and showed me exactly what I'd be missing," he explained.

The duo is bringing the Valentine's Day heat on Instagram in a post that not every single of Viall's followers are loving!

In the pic, which depicts Joy showing off her backside in a bikini, and a topless Viall, the former 'Bachelor' writes, "Roses are red, violets are blue, my life is forever changed since I met you," in his caption ode to his bride-to-be.

One fan didn't hesitate to reveal their thoughts; "Is there anything else that people do not deem sacred?"

Another fan echoed this thought; "Is anything sacred anymore?!?!"

"She will be your WIFE. She will be the MOTHER of your children. This ain't it," another follower wrote.

"Why do people think we WANT to see them naked?,'' another follower asked.

"What about your parents and Nick's parents?," a fan weighed in, "I don't understand why Nick has to share this with the world. Yes fiancé is absolutely beautiful but you have to understand there are a lot of sickos in this world and is this worth it? I believe things should be left behind closed doors. I am far from a prude, but you have to draw the line sometimes on social media. You really don't need the attention...," they concluded.

"This post surprised me. This is your future wife and mother of your children. Please show her a little respect and dignity with her clothes on. Especially on Valentines Day and not objectify her. I've always liked you as a couple but this made me cringe," another fan wrote.

Fan conversation and unsolicited advice seemingly will not get in the way. The duo has long been open with sharing the extent of their love and happiness.

"Genuinely happy," Viall wrote in an Instagram caption of a pic of the couple in 2021. Joy also shared her happiness too, once writing, "Happiest I've eva been." (via Us Weekly)
