I don't think spoiling her season is necessarily what did her in. When she took off that mic and snuck over to Shawn's room and TPTB missed the conversation Ben overheard,  they weren't sure what else they had missed. At that point, she was done, IMO. Add to that her insta with Shawn, it was not only no, but hell naw. If you don't play, MF is gonna make you pay. His initials MF are on point, more so than any description anyone could come up with, IMO.

It must add to why she's bitter and talks horribly about the franchise. On one hand, I don't blame her and on the other, I guess it's life. However, I do agree with Whitney.. why don't the 'ettes get to go on DWTS?!?! They better offer Rachel that if she wants it, TBH. I love watching the 'ette more than the bachelor (and they have a better track record).

@mindless Totally agree with everything you posted. Well said IMHO.

IA @Kashathediva - he's a lunatic. She thinks she's baddazz, she doesn't have the faintest clue that she's not being offered much from this franchise because of how she deals with situations. My 12 yr old great nephew has more brains than she does.

I am not a fan of MF. He is pretty scummy.
However he has been a part of the Hollywood scene a long time. He knows how it works. It does not bode well for a grade D celeb to go toe to toe with him. All he has to do is make a phone call here, a text there and things start drying up for K.

Kaitlyn is in way over her head taking direct shots at MF.  Idiotic but.....

Mike Fleiss is getting Roasted on his twitter and I love it. Some of the comments are hilarious. IMO his misogynist a*s deserves the fire.      

It's a sexist double standard, and Kaitlyn is well within her right to call him out, especially if he influenced or determined the decision. Now, just because she's fired shots doesn't mean it's without consequences. Hopefully, she gets that. If she wants nothing from this franchise and she wants to speak her truth, then good for her. But if she still expects the perks of the job after she called out her "boss", well, it doesn't work like that in the real world. A grocery store employee could tell her that.

IMO, she wants and expects just that. #notthebrightestbulb

IDK. She seems lit a lot of the time.

Why give the men an option to make money on dwts and not the women?  Hopefully brcause she has spoken out or whined about it, the next female Lead who is interested in dwts gets it. The cheek of Fleiss though.

Trista and Melissa were on DWTS.
CS and Sean were on DWTS.
That's 2 and 2. I don't watch DWTS, anybody else been on?

Jake Pavelka was on. Emily was supposed to be on. That tanked.

I for one don't believe for one second that she had a contract already.

I don't either.  IMO that would raise some legal issues for MF/ABC as restraints of trade are highly disfavored under CA law, and if DWTS was ready to sign Kaitlyn except for MF's actions, then that's another claim against him.  If it actually happened as Kaitlyn says, she should have hired an attorney and threatened to sue or sued MF/ABC. (Of course, doing so potentially would have opened her up to being countersued for breaching her contract by spoiling her own season.)  

That said, if she is lying, she's exposing herself to potential libel claim.

Great points.

I am all for calling out sexism in the industry but I don't think DWTS casting is one of those instances IMO.

Trista, Melissa on one side and Jake, Sean, Chris, Nick on the other. Considering we have had 20 bachelors and 12 'ettes, it's not a bad ratio IMO. 

I follow DWTS religiously (  ) and IMO the reason 'ettes don't get cast is coz there never has been a shortage of women in the 'ette age range on DWTS since there always is a gymnast, olympic winner or model who is more popular and is a ringer. Then they usually have some women in their 40's and 1-2 in their 50's to fill out the bracket. That's their standard IMO. It's kind of the same with the guys but I have seen a bit more age variation there so IMO if they have a season when they don't have a lot of men in their 30's, the bachelors get cast so that the fan momentum remains. 

All of this is purely my opinion after wasting many hours watching DWTS and on it's fan boards during casting.
