Cyber bullying - Kaitlyn, double standards 08/03/15 07:56 PM

Been following the Bachelor/ette forum for years but never posted... until Kaitlyn's season! Let me say I was neutral about Kaitlyn since I would have watched whether she or Britt became the bachelorette.
However after the show wrapped, I must say that I was very disappointed with her so called stand on bullying. When she appeared on Men Tell All and shared about being subject to cyber bullying, I felt bad for her. No one should be ridiculed with mean comments.
Which is exactly what Kaitlyn and Shawn are doing to Nick in the talk shows and other interviews. Whatever we feel about Nick, I think he did fall for Kaitlyn and was emotionally sincere about proposing to her. For Kaitlyn to make jokes about Nick and mean spirited comments about his proposal... Gee. Who's the cyber bully now?
If she thought Shawn was It early on, why didn't she just let Nick go instead of leading him on and on until the proposal. She claimed to need up to the last day to make her decision so that implied true and strong feelings for Nick. Yet in all the post-show interviews, she's just making fun of Nick in a complete 180 change from the show.
Maybe she's just trying very hard to please Shawn. She did say in one of the interviews that she is always trying hard to please people. So to ridicule Nick publicly is her way of supporting Shawn since Shawn was clearly condescending to Nick. By doing trash talking Nick, she is no different from other cyber bullies. Double standards.... And disappointing.
My guess is that Kaitlyn and Shawn won't last . When the spotlight moves on to the next bachelorette, real life returns and the Nick bashing is old news, they will just redirect their bullying to each other. I wish them well.
