Kaitlyn Bristowe - Shawn Booth - Bachelorette 11 - #4 - Discussion

If she/he/they have addictions it's not their fault but it is their responsibility. I see this all the time where I work and it follows a very predictable path. I pray for both of them.

@sparkler Exactly.

I don't know if it shared here or not. couple of months ago shawn got in a fight with a very young girl in Nashville(she was 16 or something), and she shared a photo on Instagram about it.Also another time that shawn got in a fight in a bar during his sisters birthday last year. So i don't really blame kaitlyn for everything. They both have their issues.

Oh, wow. Definitely a reminder that we never know everything that is happening in these people's personal lives.

Interesting. I don't believe I ever heard anything about that. Does anyone have any further info about these episodes?

I remember unrelated to this a bar brawl with Shawn fairly early on in their relationship.

They're both just trashy to me, not very bright with poor impulse control. I think they recognised that in each other early on, which is why they were so drawn to each other. I can't imagine anyone else on Kaitlyn's season accepting her behaviour for long. JMO.

I think being everyone's darling at the end of the bachelor season (Remember how many celebrities were rooting for her to be 'Ette? Remember frickin Sean Penn?), has really gone to her head. It baffles me how a 30y old woman can be so dumb and naive to think somehow this will last forever and she'll be an A-lister

I think this is precisely Kaitlyn's problem too. She was so angry that Joel McHale did not know who she was on Jimmy Kimmel's episode. She is a reality TV star in a sea full of reality TV stars. Big deal if he didn't know her. But she was so bothered by it. I think she just can't get over her waning popularity and acts out by drinking, attention seeking posts and even engaging in fights with internet trolls. I think all the celebrities/fans rallying for her and then being chosen as the bachelorette by a room full of guys who chose her over one of the most beautiful contestants to appear on this franchise(IMO) really did a number on her IMO.

I loved her during Chris S's season. She was unapologetically herself and effortlessly funny IMO. Now she comes across as a desperate try-hard IMO. I hope she or her family recognize her issues and she gets the help she needs.

All JMO.

The person said that a friend of a friend was out with his family and Shawn and Kaitlyn. She got absolutely smashed, was jealous of any woman who tried to talk to Shawn and then they had a screaming match in the middle of the street.

RS downplayed it as second hand info and to be taken with a grain of salt, but it pretty much aligns with what we know of her drinking and his taking pot shots at it. Apparently this happened a few weeks ago and by the way it was worded it seemed to be in Connecticut. The writer said that is where Shawn is from and I guess they may know some of the same people.

I have no idea where Shawn is from, but were they travelling recently? They write a couple of weeks ago, but it would be earlier since who knows when the original email was written.

About this. Im not a big bach fan, but i happen to know ALOT about these two. I don't believe the entire thing at all and i have reasons for it.
They both have issue NO question about that.
They were in Connecticut couple days ago and during thanks giving. Connecticut is small and literally every single time they go out, they are many pics of them online. I'm pretty sure if the entire thing was true , people definitely would share about it, i have no question about that, because it happened before. So no i don't believe it completely.
About the Instagram post of the 16 yrs old girl (it was in june), it got reported very soon. I remember kaitlyn commented under the pic and apologized for the way shawn reacted but the girl was still pissed :D so i guess they told all their friends to report the pic and Instagram deleted it.
Any way i think they both are normal people going through ups and downs together and they are far far from perfect.

I have no problem these two have drunken antics, especially Kaitlyn. Girlfriend could use a dry year instead of just a dry January.

@dina I had no idea about any of this. What was his beef with a 16 year old girl? Who got the pic taken down...the girl or Kaitlyn and Shawn?

Not everyone follows the Bachelor and so they may have just lucked out and nobody knew they were "celebrities". I guess the time lines up with what the poster wrote. I have no trouble believing it.

Wow, Shawn fighting with teenagers. Seriously. There really is no excuse, IMO, adult man vs a 16 year old. I'd like to know nore about it, too.

The girl took a pic of them after they said no to her.
I remember kaitlyn commented under it, apologized and asked her to delete it but the girl refused to delete it. Later, the post disappeared and the girl was SO mad about it . I think kaitlyn, shawn and their friends reported it and Instagram deleted it.
IMO they have real relationship and real issues. They have their arguments but at the same time they are very VERY supportive of each other. The whole shawn business is because of kaitlyn. Kaitlyn became close friend with erin who is now shawns partner. kaitlyn promotes shawn business each time. I think its important to see good and bad. My friends who went to their city strong event were telling me how supportive, caring and proud kaitlyn really is. So i like to think they going to help each other to be the best version of themselves because this is what a real relationship is.
