'The Bachelorette' season 15: Kaitlyn Bristowe shuts down haters who slut-shamed Hannah Brown for having sex in a windmill
'The Bachelorette' women stick together and Kaitlyn Bristowe just proved it, when she stood beside Hannah Brown and shut down haters who were slut-shaming Brown.
'The Bachelorette' season 15 hasn't been an easy feat for Brown. While Brown is in control of her life and the decisions she makes not just about her suitor but her body also, fans seem to think otherwise. Recently, the series released a promo where we see Brown and the contestants on their hometown visits.
The promo featured Tyler Cameron and Parker's dad talking to their sons. And as usual, there was a lot of making out with each suitor also shown. But this was not what stood out. Towards the end, when Brown was on a date with Parker he starts to talk about sex and how it would affect their relationship.
“So, let’s talk about sex,” he said. “Let’s say you have had sex with one or multiple of these guys. I’d completely remove myself from this relationship.” The clip then jumps to Brown standing in front of a car door, when she tells Parker, “My husband would never say what you’ve said to me. I have had sex... and honestly, Jesus still loves me.”
This comeback from Brown leaves Parker shocked as she continued to reveal details about her sex life. "From obviously how you feel, me f—ing in a windmill, you probably wanna leave."
She then revealed in a confessional interview during the promo saying, “I f---ed in a windmill. And guess what? We did it a second time!” Though the series did not reveal the man who she was talking about, it did show Parker leave in a car while Brown raised her middle finger to him.
While one would have thought that seeing Parker leave would make fans happy, or they would have started to speculate who the man in the windmill is, the tables turned and Brown started to receive backlash and began to be slut-shamed due to her confession of having sex in a windmill.
Women can have sex if they choose, and women can wait till marriage if they choose. Point is, ITS THEIR CHOICE. When you’re making a life altering decision to find a life partner, intimacy can be important. Why is that so hard to understand?#TheBachelorette https://t.co/iWc8SklEJr

Coming to her defense and supporting Brown was former bachelorette Bristowe. Taking to Twitter she wrote a post saying, "Women can have sex if they choose, and women can wait till marriage if they choose. Point is, ITS THEIR CHOICE. When you’re making a life-altering decision to find a life partner, intimacy can be important. Why is that so hard to understand?”
When one of Bristowe's Twitter followers asked her if they should still support Brown if the contestant she had sex with is Wyatt, despite the cheating scandal that has arisen lately, she replied saying "Of course we should. Have you ever done something you regret, and needed support? Or would you be fine with everyone coming after you when you’re probably already being hard on yourself. Sometimes regrets are life lessons, which result in self-compassion and growth.”
Bristowe made headlines during her season of 'The Bachelorette' when she had sex with Nick Viall in her hotel room before the fantasy suite could happen.
'The Bachelorette' season 15 airs every Monday night on ABC. Check your local listings for more information.
