Kaitlyn Bristowe Addresses Unintentional ‘Beef’ with Jessi Draper from ‘SLOMW’
Clearing the air.
Bachelor Nation fans got to know and love Kaitlyn Bristowe on Season 19 of “The Bachelor” and Season 11 of “The Bachelorette.”
Since her time on the shows, Kaitlyn has been keeping fans updated with her life on her podcast and social media pages, where she has millions of followers.
The other week, the Bachelor Nation star posted something online that accidentally led to unintentional “beef” with Jessi Draper from “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
Now, she has taken to Instagram to address the situation and officially clear the air. In a new video, Kaitlyn highlighted rumors circulating online that she and the “Mormon Wives” star are fighting with each other.
Kaitlyn said, “I can’t believe this is a thing right now. I posted a photo the other day and I said, ‘Imagine hating me and I’m just happy.’ Because I was just with family and I’m always so happy when I’m with family. People were trolling me earlier. A girl came on and said, ‘People who are happy don’t have to tell us they’re happy.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, it’s not that deep.’ Jessi commented under it and said, ‘Same girl’ or something like that.”
Kaitlyn went on to explain that her photo somehow got deleted, so she reposted it with a comment calling out the troll who “always has some passive aggressive thing to say” to repeat their comment.
She said, “Anyhoo, I reposted the photo and then I just tagged [Jessi] because I wanted her to know that I saw her comment. And somehow this turned into that I have beef with her.”
The former Bachelorette clarified in her caption that there is no issue between the two of them, and wanted to squash the rumors.
“[An outlet] posted that I seemingly have beef with [Jessi] but instead of milking it like others would, I’m letting you know it’s a nothing burger. Love you Jessi,” she wrote.
Jessi commented on the post, “Hahahah ILY😂❤️” and one person wrote, “LOL yall seem like you’d be besties ❤️”
We’re so glad that Kaitlyn cleared the air. This is a good reminder that not everything you see online is true!
