There were rumors of a feud between Kaitlyn Bristowe and Tayshia Adams when both attended Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist’s Golden Wedding. Kaitlyn had spent New Year’s Eve with Tayshia’s ex, Zac Clark, just days before the televised wedding. Sources at the time claimed the two got along just fine and were even seated at the same table.

However, Kaitlyn Bristowe claimed in a podcast interview earlier this week that things weren’t good between her and Tayshia after all. Without naming names, she recounted a story of reaching out to a new beau’s ex to give them a heads up and basically get their approval. But instead of approval, Kaitlyn claimed the woman told her she was a terrible person.

Kaitlyn and Zac Clark haven’t gone public with their relationship, but it’s pretty clear that Tayshia was the woman in the story and Zac was the ex.

Ben Higgins: Kaitlyn Knew What She Was Saying

Zac Clark and Tayshia Adams ended their engagement in late 2021. Is three years long enough to make the girl code about dating your friend’s ex null or did Kaitlyn break the code?

Ben Higgins knows Kaitlyn better than most. He was the third-place runner-up on her season of The Bachelorette. He co-hosts the Almost Famous podcast with Bachelor Nation’s Ashley Iaconetti. They brought up the situation between Kaitlyn and Tayshia during the latest episode.

They both agreed that Kaitlyn absolutely knew what she was doing when she made the comments on the U, Up? podcast.

“She knows that this is going to be controversial and so she’s willing to take the heat. Like, she has to be. And if she’s not, then that’s a whole other conversation.”

He Claims Tayshia Adams ‘Crossed’ Kaitlyn Bristowe

Ben Higgins theorized that Kaitlyn felt ‘crossed’ by Tayshia in some way. “I think Kaitlyn is easily crossed. I’m saying this like I would say it to Kaitlyn. She gets crossed really quickly instead of taking the time to wade through these waters.”

In his opinion, Kaitlyn was likely hurt by Tayshia’s disapproval of Kaitlyn dating her ex. Ben added, “That still sits with her because Tayshia crossed her, and as a result, Kaitlyn is going to make sure that somebody knows that Tayshia crossed her.”

Are Zac & Kaitlyn Still Together?

Ashley Iaconetti and Ben Higgins initially agreed that Kaitlyn and Zac are probably still dating. Ashley wondered if the podcast might have been Kaitlyn’s attempt to soft launch the relationship and gauge the public’s reaction.

“I don’t think she would tell the story if they were not together,” Ashley Iaconetti said.

But then she wondered if maybe Zac and Kaitlyn broke up and this was “kind of a slap” against Zac.
