Scary stuff! Bachelor fan favorite Caelynn revealed that her fellow contestants from this season have been receiving death threats on social media. The beauty queen made the surprising revelation after the Women Tell All special that aired on March 5.

“We live in a world where we never do anything right. Ever,” the Virginia native wrote on Instagram. “Everyone always has an opinion. This experience has been so incredibly difficult. This show is super easy to make fun of, I get it, but viciously tearing people down is absolutely disgusting.”

She then divulged that people have been saying horrible things to women who were vying for Colton Underwood‘s heart. “Girls on my season are getting death threats, I’m getting told to go kill myself. That’s not OK.”

Caelynn continued to explain that the journey we are watching at home is actually a huge growing experience for all the contestants, and mistakes are bound to happen along the way. “We are not perfect. We screw up (myself maybe more than others) but this show is partly about finding yourself and that means falling in the process.”

She reminded people to not get sucked up in the negativity. “You can have your opinions, but keep the extra hurtful comments to yourself. The internet can be very dark and instead of feeding into it, try taking a step back.”

“We are real people. These emotions are real. You’re watching a TV show, but we felt all of these feelings in a very intense way. Remember that the next time you go to someone’s page to tear them down,” the former Miss North Carolina also noted.

During the Tell All special, there was tension between Caelynn and the rest of the cast regarding previous comments about possibly being the next Bachelorette. Although there was a lot of arguing, it looks like Caelynn puts the safety of her fellow castmates above any drama.
