THE BACHELOR’S RESIGNATION LETTER TO CHRIS BUKOWSKI

“I’ll never forget going to my parents’ house and witnessing my dad obsess over all of the stuff being said about me. That show ruined my relationship with my father and created distance between me and my mother. What did I do!? Why did I do this!? It was so not worth it. I hated myself even though you could not see it.”
“I never watched the show prior to being first casted on ‘The Bachelorette’. My life was perfect in every aspect; I had a great family, friends and simply put, I was happy. That being said, the longing for a significant other led me to the spotlight. Looking back on it, some of the stuff I did in preparation for these shows was absolutely crazy. Television became a disease, an obsession, a sickness.”

We are incredibly thankful for the support we’ve received from our family, friends and everyone who supported us throughout our journey—from Paradise to this moment. We are grateful for everything that we’ve learned in this chapter and are hopeful for what is to come in life and love for both of us.”
