Kaitlyn Bristowe has set the record straight on rumors of a feud with Jessi Draper.

After speculation of a clash between the former Bachelorette, 40, and The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star, 33, began circulating online, Kaitlyn took to Instagram on Tuesday, April 21, to clear things up with fans.

Kaitlyn began her video by explaining that a previous post which showed her indulging in cake and enjoying time with family drew attention from an online troll who said, ‘People who are happy don’t have to tell us they’re happy,’ and I was like, ‘Oh, it’s not that deep.’”

The initial post also caught the eye of Jessi, who commented, “Same, girl,” before the post mysteriously disappeared.

Kaitlyn Bristowe is opening up about the “negative attention” she’s been getting amid speculation surrounding her and another member of Bachelor Nation. After one of her Instagram followers wrote, “Grateful for your light on social media,” Bristowe, 38, admitted she hasn’t felt very light-filled lately. “This actually means a lot to me because I feel […]

“So, I reposted it and wrote underneath, ‘I already posted this and somehow it got deleted. So if the person who always has some passive aggressive thing to say wants to repeat the comment. Please by all means.’ I was talking to the one troll,” Kaitlyn explained. “I just tagged her [Jessi] because I wanted her to know that I saw her comment and then somehow this turned into that I have beef with her. It’s just crazy how people run with things.”

The pair’s friendship appeared to be back on track with Jessi commenting on Kaitlyn’s explanatory post, “Hahahah ILY😂❤️.”

Additionally, Kaitlyn also shared a screenshot of her DMs with Jessi that captured her giving her side of the story. Jessi responded to Kaitlyn’s message with, “That’s hilarious.”

Kaitlyn’s video also took the opportunity to comment on widespread fascination with online feuds, joking that she sparked a fight with Jessi on the back of Alix Earle and Alex Cooper’s ongoing beef. (Earle, 25, and Cooper, 31, have taken public jabs at one another in recent weeks, with a source telling Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month that their conflict is “ego-driven” across “multiple occasions” since Earle’s former “Hot Mess” podcast was dropped by Cooper’s Unwell Network in February 2025.)

“I feel like people are so feral on the internet, they’re just foaming at the mouth for women to be fighting,” Kaitlyn said in her post. “Who’s side are we taking … we don’t know anything about it.”

Rather than face a similar situation of her own, Kaitlyn resolved that she hoped the post would work in “squashing this right now.”

Kaitlyn, who was the star of The Bachelorette’s 11th season in 2015, recently reflected on her fiery personality, which emerged while appearing on season 29 of Dancing With the Stars and subsequently winning. Speaking on the “Off the Vine” podcast on April 9, Kaitlyn admitted she was reluctant to take her pro partner Artem Chigvintsev’s advice.

“I wanted to fight Artem on so many things and tell him, [but] at the end of the day I’m, like, ‘Nothing else matters except for him trying to get what’s best out of both of us and if I just shut up and listen, I’m going to get more out of this than if I try and back-talk him all the time,’” she said at the time.
