Golden Bachelor alum Leslie Fhima came under fire from fans for her negative talk with Kelsey Anderson. How did Kelsey feel about it? Keep reading to find out why she’s defending Leslie.
Golden Bachelor Alum Gives A Reality Check
The Bachelor producers brought in the experts to counsel Joey Graziadei’s final three women before the Fantasy Suite dates. Sandra Mason, Susan Noles, and Leslie Fhima were on hand to advise Daisy Kent, Kelsey Anderson, and Rachel Nance.
Gerry Turner’s runner-up, Leslie Fhima, met with Kelsey to share her sage advice from her own Bachelor journey. However, rather than hyping Kelsey up, many fans thought Leslie was an absolute downer. She warned the younger woman that there was a chance Joey won’t choose her and to prepare herself for heartbreak.

Bachelor Nation fans didn’t appreciate Leslie putting a damper on Kelsey’s overnight date with Joey. But apparently, some fans took it too far and were overly hateful of the Golden Bachelor alum.
It seems the hate online was so bad that Kelsey felt she had to intervene. She took to her Instagram to address the backlash. She reposted a post from Leslie Fhima of the women embracing after their talk.
Kelsey added the text, “Leslie helped me realize regardless of the out I will be okay. I am so thankful for our talk.” The Bachelor front-runner added, “Please be kind.”
Fans Divided

But most are in agreement that sending the Golden Bachelor star is a step too far. Check out what fans had to say on Reddit about the situation:
- Not sure why Leslie is getting hate but I thought it was sound advice. There are still other girls remaining and it’s only right it try to protect your heart in case you don’t get chosen. I didn’t see it as Leslie trying to plant doubt in Kelsey’s mind.
- Why don’t these contestants talk back to them? Like if I was Kelsey I would say I appreciate that that was your experience and you’re trying to help but this is actually upsetting to me and not what I want to hear right now.
- Look I just think Leslie should’ve spoken to all three women to equally plant seeds of doubt and make it fair
- Every week these women have to post asking people to be kind. This is crazy
- Leslie did nothing wrong. She was positive and encouraging while still being realistic and sensible about the possible outcomes
- Y’all, it’s one thing to joke about Leslie coming in with a damper on the mood. It’s another thing to go out of your way to seek her out and be rude to her.
What did you think of Leslie’s advice? Was it too gloom and doom, or was it just realistic? Sound off in the comments.

they are not experts by any stretch of the imagination. they should never have been included in this show, they are done with their 15 mins of fame.
I think Leslie was just trying to be realistic. It may have made Kelsey a little more guarded of her feelings but that’s ok. It’s good to protect yourself but be you and be open and show how you feel, no matter what. That’s what falling in love is about, we are never sure if a relationship will work out so it’s best you give it all you got. He is worth it and so are you, Kelsey! Good luck
I would never take advice from Leslie of all people
