It wasn’t until Thursday night that she decided her feelings were stronger for Steven. So, she told Kurt that Steven gives her the attention she craves. However, Steven didn’t feel the same way and sent her home. He said they were on different pages.

Once Whitney was gone, many fans started accusing her of being a gold-digger and simply after Steven’s money.

She went to Twitter to defend herself. Whitney said, “Also this “gold digger” edit can kiss my 🍑 I have my own money but I never felt the need to talk about it on national television #respectfully #JoeMillionaire.”
