While The Bachelorette alum Hannah Brown only just released her book, God Bless This Mess, some of the biggest revelations from her time as the lead have been circulating for a few weeks now. The book, which recently made the New York Times Bestsellers List, includes more than just the details of Hannah's early life in Alabama and her life nowadays. When Hannah revealed her fight with cancer and the chilling story of her aunt and cousins' murders, she made headlines. However, she also got press due to her revelations about her time in The Bachelor franchise, particularly as The Bachelorette.
Fans were first introduced to the former pageant queen in early 2019, during Colton's season. At the time, Hannah didn't have much in her bank account and had to borrow Sherri Hill dresses for the show. Since then, she has been open and vulnerable about her life, saying that the last few years have been solely for the public's entertainment. By writing about her experience in the franchise, she wanted to ensure that her story was shared in the most authentic way possible.
Ahead of season 15 filming, Hannah admitted in her book that she saw some of the guys vying for her heart before producers took her phone away. As a result, she was waiting for Tyler Cameron to arrive on night one and felt an instant spark with the then 26-year-old general contractor. Hannah revealed that she also felt an immediate connection with the eventual winner, Jed Wyatt, and the first impression rose winner and season villain, Luke Parker. As for her past relationship with second runner-up and former Bachelor lead, Peter Weber, Hannah revealed that the two of them hooked up while Peter's season of The Bachelor was airing. The hook-up, which took place after Hannah Godwin and Dylan Barbour's engagement party (and after Peter's breakups with Hannah Ann Sluss and Madison Prewett) left Hannah feeling ashamed.
Seemingly the fan-favorite contestant of Hannah's season, Tyler has had a rocky relationship with her since the end of The Bachelorette season 15. Hannah revealed that while she and Tyler continued to have a strong connection and great conversations, he ended up hurting her with his rejection on a number of occasions. While Hannah has yet to say any more about the demise of their relationship, Tyler made sure that fans were aware that issues go both ways, claiming he also has receipts but understands that Hannah has to create headlines.
One of the biggest bombshells in Hannah's book revolves around her ex-fiance, Jed. The 27-year-old shared that while she knew from day one that her husband wasn't there, she got engaged anyway. Caught up in the magic of the proposal, Hannah said yes to Jed, even though her first instinct was to say no. Hannah shared that she only picked the country singer, with whom she seemed to have things in common because he appeared to be the safest option.
The honeymoon phase didn't last long, as Hannah learned that she didn't even know Jed's real name, and rumors began circulating about his alleged girlfriend, Haley Stevens. After multiple conversations about the matter, Hannah accused Jed of gaslighting, alleging that he changed the details of his story. She ultimately chose to end the engagement. The former The Bachelorette lead has since moved on with model Adam Woolard, while her younger brother Patrick Brown is now dating Haley.
