"I wanted to go [into The Men Tell All] and address the situation, and be like, 'Yes that hurt, and that's not okay,'" Bristowe, 30, told Entertainment Tonight.
While filming the special, host Chris Harrison addressed the issue by reportedly reading some of the hurtful tweets out loud.
"Maybe a little good will come of this because the cyber-bullying, and the hate -- that crap has got to stop," Harrison said. "Kaitlyn reads these comments, and she's a human being."
Besides Harrison, Bristowe's group of suitors also showed their support for the Bachelorette's controversial decisions. The reality TV star bawled when the men gave her a standing ovation when discussing how cyber bullies should be put in their place.
"I was going to stay strong," Bristowe revealed, according to ET. "And everybody stood up and it just brought me to tears. It was really emotional, and it felt really good to know that everybody stood behind me on that."
The Bachelorette: The Men Tell All airs Monday, July 20 at 8PM ET/PT on ABC.
