Former The Bachelorette star Ali Fedotowsky is standing up for Kaitlyn Bristowe wholeheartedly in light of the current Bachelorette getting slammed kissing too many guys as well as having sex with Nick Viall early in the process.

"I remember when I was the Bachelorette [in Season 6] and I had to be SO careful about kissing the guys and other guys seeing. I mean OBVIOUSLY you're going to kiss more than one guy when you are expected to find your husband out of 25 random guys in less than 3 months. Intimacy matters in a relationship and you have to test the waters!" Fedotowsky wrote in her official blog.
"So let me just dive into this topic by saying slut shaming is NOT COOL! What is wrong with people?!?! I mean really. It makes me SO angry that there is such a double standard in this world when it comes to men and women having sex. I can assure you that Kaitlyn is NOT the first person to have sex with someone on the show. In fact, I would argue that 95% of the Bachelors and Bachelorette DO have sex on the show."
Fedotowsky said she understands that Bristowe had made love to a man before the infamous fantasy suite, but she questioned whether that really even matters.
"I've heard Mike Fleiss (the creator of the show) say that one of the Bachelors had sex with something like 6 of his 25 women!!! I'm not going to say who that Bachelor is, but people didn't slut shame him. So stop judging Kaitlyn for following her heart annnnnnd her vagina ;)," Fedotowsky wrote.

Bristowe told Shawn Booth on their one-on-one date he's "the one" and "it" for her, but she still slept with Viall in Dublin afterwards.
"[The guys] must be worried about her connection with [Nick] and they should be! Her dates with Nick seem the most natural to me. More natural than any dates I've ever seen on The Bachelorette. All the dates are always too serious or too awkward and with Nick, it just seems normal. I'm into it. And obviously so was Kaitlyn," Fedotowsky explained.
"And ya ya ya, I realize Kaitlyn told Shawn that he was the 'one' and it wasn't exactly fair to say that and then go sleep with Nick. But hear me out... I told [my ex-fiance Roberto Martinez] he was the 'one' on our first date and then when I went out with [Frank Neushchaefer], I connected with him on such a deep level that I thought he was actually the one for me."
So as a result, Fedotowsky suggested Bristowe might end up sleeping with both men, and she doesn't see anything wrong with that.
"But like I said above, I ASSURE you, [Kaitlyn] is not the first Bachelorette to sleep with a guy and CERTAINLY not the first to sleep with two guys," Fedotowsky added.
