Kaitlyn Bristowe Defends Hannah Brown After She’s Slut-Shamed

Another former star of The Bachelorette, Kaitlyn Bristowe, is not here for people slut-shaming current Bachelorette Hannah Brown. Brown has unfortunately faced a lot of criticism for being open about having sex on the show, but she luckily has Bristowe in her corner.

The Season 11 leading lady came out in defense of Brown and her actions on Tuesday, July 2 on Twitter. She initially responded to a user who said people are “coming after” the 24-year-old just like the came after Bristowe while she was the lead.

“Women can have sex if they choose, and women can wait till marriage if they choose. Point is, ITS THEIR CHOICE. When you’re making a life-altering decision to find a life partner, intimacy can be important. Why is that so hard to understand?#TheBachelorette,” Bristowe wrote.

Bristowe certainly wasn’t done after she sent that missive. Not about to suffer fools gladly, she also responded to a fan who asked if we should support Brown knowing she’s making a “regretful decision.”

“Of course, we should. Have you ever done something you regret, and needed support? Or would you be fine with everyone coming after you, when you’re probably already being hard on yourself. Sometimes regrets are life lessons, which result in self compassion and growth,” Bristowe shared.

Bristowe definitely understands what Brown is going through, not just because she was also the lead of The Bachelorette, but because she received hateful comments for having sex with Nick Viall during her season.

Fans will remember Bristowe was intimate with Viall while on their group date and received thousands of hateful comments for it. While hate is never good, it’s nice to see former Bachelorettes sticking up for one another!
