Kaitlyn Bristowe is speaking out about Ian Thomson, The Bachelorette contestant who put her down so harshly and unnecessarily on Monday's episode.
Thomson slut-shamed Kaitlyn, told her she was shallow and insulted her looks in a speech evidently designed to make him look like a complete prick.
Prior to actually laying all that on Bristowe, he proclaimed himself the ultimate catch, a "Princeton graduate and former model who has defied death."
It would be hilarious if he weren't such a jackass, but alas, he is. Wonder if his robust sex life will continue to be that way now that this episode aired.
Anyway, Kaitlyn blogs that she knew "what being The Bachelorette would entail" but it "was tougher navigating the guys' feelings" than she expected.
"And I certainly never could have anticipated a guy feeling the need to insult my looks like Ian choose to do. Ouch. And I'm shallow?"
"As a woman – no, as a person – that is hurtful to hear. And completely unnecessary. I understood Ian's frustration; I've been in his shoes."
"But it was a hurtful, unwarranted comment. And this coming from a man who felt the need to explain that he has no trouble getting women."
"Honestly, the more I got to know Ian, the more arrogant I realized he was. Yes, he's very intelligent, and I respect his opinions."
"I also believe in honest and open communication. But the accusatory way in which he confronted me was downright nasty and designed to hurt me."
"And it did hurt me. How did I handle him that night?" Bristowe mused, setting up the teaser: "Well, check out next week's episode to find out!"
Hopefully he got the boot, and the door did hit him on the way out - hard enough to knock some sense into that Ivy League-educated skull.
Kaitlyn also addressed recurring criticism - echoed by Ian in crass terms - by some viewers that she kisses too many guys as The Bachelorette:
"Yes, I kissed a lot of guys. I was trying to compartmentalize these different relationships, and I was just dating these guys how I ordinarily would."
"And, if I'm dating someone and I like them, I kiss them. It's challenging to be in my position, asking everyone to understand my decisions."
"Everyone is different, and I would rather be disliked for who I am than liked for who I am not. It is too exhausting to try and make everyone happy."
The Bachelorette spoilers don't tell us who she supposedly has sex with during the season, but Nick Viall and Shawn Booth are good bets.
Both guys have emerged as favorites, with Kaitlyn saying of Nick's return, "I just had to follow my heart," which told her to let him woo her.
"There was an attraction with Nick. I had to pursue it. I was still getting to know these guys, it didn't feel too late ... I just had to do [it]."
As for Shawn Booth, their date made her want to "throw my arms around him, cry and tell him how happy I was that he was there with me."
That's quite a ringing endorsement. Will he be The Bachelorette winner? Will Nick? Will there be a surprise twist at the end of the season?
