Bachelorette execs ‘concerned outspoken Katie Thurston will reveal too much’ about season on social media before it airs
BACHELORETTE execs are “concerned” about outspoken Katie Thurston “revealing too much” on social media before her upcoming season airs, The Sun can reveal.
The 30-year-old was a Bachelor super-fan before she went on Matt James’ season as a contestant and has been more active on Instagram and Twitter than any other lead of the franchise.
The insider explained: ”Execs are on edge going into this season understandably. There's a lack of control with Katie they have not felt with previous Bachelorette's.
“She's outspoken and very active on social media plus with recent drama, they are being more careful than ever with how they conduct things.”
While a production source exclusively told The Sun execs are aware many viewers will find Katie’s sexuality and humor “strong and powerful,” there is concern over how conservative fans will respond.
The insider explained: “The Bachelor is still a family show at the end of the day. ABC and production can be conservative, which is why religion and virginity are often a focus.
"Not only has Katie shown up to filming with a huge dildo, she has made TikTok’s cleaning her face with sex toys, talking about sh***ting her pants and talking about having sex with ghosts.”
The source added that is “great, she’s confident but she’s a wildcard.
