Jason Biggs Mocks Dead ‘Bachelorette’ Contestant

Jason Biggs is coming under fire for comments he tweeted out during the season premiere of “The Bachelorette” on Monday.

The self-described “Jewiest-look non-Jew” mocked the death of Eric Hill, one of Andi Dorfman’s prospective “ones,” who died April 23 in a paragliding accident.

Biggs, who will be reprising his role of nebbishy Jewish fiance Larry Bloom in Season 2 of “Orange is the New Black,” is apparently an avid viewer of both “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette.”

To answer his question — Yes, definitely too soon.
