Hannah Brown has had a crazy journey these past few months, but The Bachelorette star is getting honest about her struggles, now that all of the cameras have stopped rolling.
The 24-year-old took to Instagram on Tuesday to reveal she’s been having a hard time following her stint on the show. Brown opened up in a way we haven’t really seen her do and it’s heartbreaking.
“Honest policy: I’m struggling. Life is so different. Since last August, I’ve been a pageant queen, a bachelor contestant, and the Bachelorette. I’ve been in love with multiple people, I got engaged, I broke off an engagement, and I shared it all with millions of people,” she shared.
“My faith has been questioned by thousands who don’t know my heart, and my transparency with my decisions has labeled me promiscuous. Simultaneously, I’ve become a role model for young women and started bigger conversations around faith, and sex.”
It’s pretty obvious she has been through a lot this last year and the pressure seems to be taking its toll. But she’s also moving forward. “I’m living on my own for the first time and shuffling through this life of next steps with press, media, and opportunities galore.”

While she’s grateful for all of the opportunities, Brown feels as though she can’t keep up with all the craziness around her — something that so many of us can relate to and understand perfectly.
“I miss my friends and family who have watched my life explode. I feel guilty because I don’t have the time or emotional capacity to fill each of them in on my life right now. I can’t keep up with the people who matter most, because I can barely keep up with my own life right now,” she explained.
“I am not complaining about this past year of adventures. The woman who has emerged would shock the mirror-image young girl from a year ago. I have so many blessings to be thankful for. However it’s uncharted territory for me, and it’s been hard to really process what the heck is going on.”
Not only did Brown break up with her fiancé Jed Wyatt a couple of months ago, but she also decided to pack up her life and move from Alabama to Los Angeles. That much change in a short amount of time can take a toll.
