Katie Thurston’s Emotional Instagram Post Shocks Fans
One qualm normal people have with celebrities is that they can be so out of touch. It seems like most celebs don’t truly understand the struggle average folks deal with in their everyday lives. However, there are some famous people out there who are willing to be open and vulnerable with their fans, like Katie Thurston.
It’s easier for those on reality shows to do so, as viewers don’t see them as only the characters they play in shows or movies. One of the most famous reality shows in the world is The Bachelorette. Former star Katie Thurston recently posted a video on Instagram. In it, she talked about some of the struggles she has faced.
The Bachelorette: Katie Thurston Gets Real With Fans
A lot of pressure comes with joining a reality show. However, only those who have done it know what truly happens to your mental health. Thurston explained what happened to her recently:
“I’m gonna be very honest with you guys: there are many moments where I feel almost like imposter syndrome a little bit. I’ve been reflecting on the last four years. Your life changes when you go through what I did, and it’s a lot, and it can be almost suffocating, and you start to kind of question like, do I deserve what I have?”
Nearly every part of your life goes under a microscope when you enter the world of reality television. Thurston makes it seem like she was always on the lookout for whatever was coming next, and that she couldn’t truly enjoy her life. However, Thurston made it seem like the publicity was worth it, at least for her. The reason why it was worth it to Thurston may surprise some fans.
Why It’s Worth It For Katie Thurston
Earlier in 2024, Thurston talked about the horrifying experience she had when she was assaulted. The fact that she went through that is devastating. However, Thurston looks at that and her social media presence as something different. She said:
“The reason I’m emotional right now is because many of you I’ve engaged with in the DMs on many different levels. Tonight, there were several DMs that I got that kind of reminded me, like, why I am here.”

She expressed that fans have felt okay reporting their attacker, something that is challenging for so many women. It’s obvious that Thurston has created a safe space and community for people to talk and get advice. For her, that makes everything all worth it.
