Jonathan Towns has been deemed the villain of Amazing Race season 37, mostly due to his reactions towards his wife, Ana Rivera Towns . After seeing his behavior play out on TV and receiving hateful criticism from fans, Jonathan sought professional health and was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
"Looking back at what I was seeing, and knowing what I know about myself now, it's so hard for me to be supportive and helpful to somebody when my brain is in this overheated state," Jonathan, 42, said during the April 9 episode of his and Ana's "The Road Less Traveled" YouTube channel.
"When I'm on The Race , unlike when I'm at home, I cannot control the external factors. I have no control – my routines are completely non-existent," he continued. "And we rely on – people like me rely on routines in order to help us regulate our emotions and to control the amount of stimulus that we can get at any given time."
From harshly critiquing his wife's soccer skills to telling Anna, 35, to "stop whining" and "crying," Jonathan landed himself to the bottom of viewers' list of favorites.
"He's just sooo rude to her! I would not tolerate him!" a TikTok user wrote in a clip of Jonathan walking away while Ana struggled with a challenge.
"First episode when they came in second was also a huge red flag, and this just confirmed it," a third person wrote, while a fourth fan added, "I wondered if anyone was talking about this!!! Last night's episode was so hard to watch … so immature!!
Jonathan addressed the taxi moment during the YouTube post and admitted he talked to her in "a harsh tone."
