Katie Thurston is giving fans yet another reason for them to want her to be the next Bachelorette. Katie posted a lengthy message on Instagram, encouraging her followers to learn more about her fellow Bachelor contestants and their own personal stories. While she was seen as a fan favorite throughout a majority of the season for the way she defended many of the girls from bullying, the persona was flipped during the Women's Tell All.
To many fans surprise, many of the women confronted Katie for also being toxic inside the house during the Women's Tell All. Despite disagreeing with much of what they had to say, Katie continued to hold her own, standing up for what she truly believed was right. There is no doubt that Katie has a bold personality, as even Matt James has praised her for it. This is one of the many reasons some fans think Katie is deserving of being the next Bachelorette.
Katie may just be the definition of being the bigger person. In a recent Instagram post, Katie wrote a lengthy message during which she encouraged her followers to "learn more" about her fellow Bachelor contestants. She explained that as each individual who partakes in the show has their own experience, they each have their own "opinions and perspectives" as well, which, according to Katie, they are each entitled to. Katie believes that each of the individual opinions and feelings of the women are truly valid. She encouraged her followers to "take the time to learn more about these women through their platforms and interviews." Take a look at Katie's post below:
Along with the message, Katie shared a photo of herself alongside a majority of the women from the season. She addressed her fellow contestants directly, writing,"To all the women who took the time to share themselves with the world, cheers!" She explained how grateful she is to have met "so many great women" through her journey on the show. Katie also thanked her fans for all of the messages of love and encouragement that she has received throughout the process. She reminded everyone that "showing support does not mean bringing someone else down." Katie concluded the post by encouraging her followers to stay true to who they are.
Although some of the recent Bachelor contestants did not have the nicest things to say about and to Katie at the Women's Tell All, it does not seem like Katie has any hard feelings. Despite all of the drama and arguments that took place throughout the season, Katie looks to be leaving it all in the past as she moves on and grows from the experience. As there were many controversies that took place this season, Katie is encouraging Bachelor Nation to learn more about these women for who they truly are behind the headlines and speculations.
The Bachelor airs Mondays at 8pm EST on ABC.
