<\/p>\n
Josh Seiter<\/strong> says he didn’t correct the fake death post about him for a full 18 hours because his priority was figuring out who hacked into his Instagram account … it’s all very puzzling.<\/p>\n
The ex-‘Bachelorette’ star appeared on “TMZ Live” Wednesday and we peppered him with questions about the long, long period of radio silence … both from him and his family.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Josh says he was trying to manage a ton of texts and calls from concerned friends\/family, which raises the question … why didn’t someone he called tell media outlets — including TMZ — the death post was a hoax?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Fact is … we called Josh just after the death announcement<\/strong> was posted, but didn’t get a call back until the next day. We also called family members, and they either hung up or said “no comment.”<\/p>\n
He recognizes he’s going to get scrutinized, but he says he handled it the best way he knew how and is standing firm — he was hacked.<\/p>\n
Josh says he’s a victim in all of this and makes no apologies.<\/p>\n
