While the podcaster told, UseThis appears onChris Soules’ season “wasn’t that traumatic,” she did find herself on a two-on-one date with Kelsey PoeDuring the season.
“I learned so much about myself and I grew so much character from it and a lot of strength. And I got to know myself better,” Ashley told UseShe said that she would let her future children be on the show. “I would probably be OK with it. However, at the rate that the show is evolving and if it’s more toward this like, oh my God, I don’t want to say wrong reasons, but a little more of a catty environment, I wouldn’t want them in that catty environment.”
Peter, for his part told Use that he just “wanted to see all the good in people.”

Katie ThurstonAfter confirming that she had blocked, a Bachelorette named Alicia sparked her own Bachelor Nation feud in the summer of 2022. Nick Viall’s phone number following some “odd” comments he made about her.
“I get DMs sometimes that are like, ‘Oh, my God, Nick won’t stop talking s–t about you,’” the Washington native alleged during a TikTok Live session. “I messaged him one time and I was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, people are finding the things you’re saying [about me] kind of odd.’ And in short, he basically [turned it around on me]. He was like, ‘How great that you have fans that care about you! Don’t take it personally!’”
The former Bachelor, for his part, later defended his actions during a July 11, 2022, episode of his “Viall Files” podcast.
“The whole conversation started because I tweeted something about an upcoming episode of hers, and she texted me, ‘Best TV? Boo.’ Then I gave my quick thoughts on the episode,” he said at the time.
Nick read the text that he received from a former bank marketing manager. He was told she knew. Greg Grippo wasn’t The One before his dramatic departure from the show.
Nick revealed he wrote back: “It is good that you have clarity. As long as you are happy, that is what matters.”
