She seemingly takes aim at Susan and Kathy specifically for sending their fans to taunt her about the vacation. She mentions “folks from Texas and PA,” which is where Kathy and Susan are from.

After listing her reasons for staying home, she continued to call out “adult bullying.”

April spoke directly to the bullies, “Whoever sent you, please respect me and don’t follow me for their dark dealings.”

Brings Up Theresa & Kathy Golden Bachelor Feud

At the end of her long Instagram caption, April brought up some drama from the Bachelor mansion. During Golden Bachelor, Theresa Nist and Kathy Swarts butted heads over Theresa allegedly bragging about her kisses with Gerry Turner.

At one point, Kathy exploded and told the frontrunner to zip it.

Referencing the situation, April wrote on Instagram, “ I seriously feel like I’m on the Golden Bachelor part two and I’m the new Teresa [sic] being targeted.”

“Shame on you,” she added.

Her followers flooded the comment with support, but what do other Bachelor Nation fans think of the post?

What Fans Think

Some Bachelor Nation fans took to Reddit to discuss April’s post calling out bullying. Many suspected that she was talking about Kathy and Susan. Here is what fans had to say about it:

  • I can’t believe people are harassing her about not going on a vacation.
  • Oh wow the ladies of ASKN don’t follow April anymore and she doesn’t follow them either…wonder what happened. Seems stupid to get rid of a friendship over a vacation. It’s not her fault she couldn’t go
  • Is she saying that the other 3 ladies of ASKN are responsible for her being bullied?
  • I feel like her saying she needs to be with her family and not “party” was a dig at the other women

Do you think April was implying Kathy and Susan were bullying her for canceling the trip, or is something else going on? Share your thoughts in the comments.
