Entertainment TV Kaitlyn Bristowe Defends 'Bachelorette' Hannah Brown Against Slut-Shaming: 'It's Their Choice' Kaitlyn Bristowe warned fans about judging Hannah Brown for exploring her feelings By Matt McNulty Published on July 3, 2019 01:13 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Kaitlyn Bristowe is standing up for one of her own. Bristowe jumped to Hannah Brown‘s defense after she received backlash on social media for discussing her sex life on The Bachelorette. The Off the Vine podcast host said she could relate to being shamed for exploring her sexual feelings during her time on the show. “Women can have sex if they choose, and women can wait till marriage if they choose. Point is, ITS THEIR CHOICE,” Bristowe tweeted on Tuesday. “When you’re making a life altering decision to find a life partner, intimacy can be important.

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 tweeted in a follow-up response to a fan asking her whether or not viewers should continue to support Brown despite disagreeing with her actions. In a promo for The Bachelorette that aired after Monday night’s episode, Brown opens up about her sexual history after controversial contestant Luke Parker attempts to talk to her about how sex plays into a relationship. “So, let’s talk about sex,” he says. “Let’s say you have had sex with one or multiple of these guys.

And guess what? We did it a second time!” she adds.
