The Golden Bachelor's ASKN ladies -- April Kirkwood, Susan Noles, Kathy Swarts and Nancy Hulkower -- apparently had a falling out after their cameo on Joey Graziadei's The Bachelor season.

April, Susan, Kathy and Nancy made an appearance on The Bachelor's February 5 episode to serve as judges of the "Mrs. Right" pageant during one of Joey's group dates with about half a dozen of his bachelorettes.

The Golden Bachelor ladies filmed this group date in Fall 2023, and they're apparently no longer friends. In fact, Susan, Kathy and Nancy all unfollowed April on social media.

In January, Susan, Kathy and Nancy all took a trip to St. Maarten together, and April was noticeably missing from all the festivities.

April took to Instagram with a lengthy explanation for her absence at the time and revealed that she's been receiving backlash for her separation from the ASKN group.

"For all of the folks from Texas and PA that are daunting me about why I am not going to St. Martin. Although it is none of your business and there are only three people who knew I cancelled but karma never sleeps," April began in her video.

April went on to share several "reasons" why she wasn't able to go on the vacation with Gerry Turner's other exes.

"1. I have a job and I can't keep taking off. 2. My roof had a major leak and I had to pay $4,500.00 so I can't afford to go. 3. My dogs are freaking out," April explained.

"4. My son's birthday is this week and he doesn't need to see me on a beach at this time in our relationship. 5. I have to go to NY to see my granddaughter and celebrate her 3rd birthday in three weeks so I will be off then."

For No. 6, April wrote, "I'm an adult and I have to make decisions that are best for my first love... not partying but my kids and keeping my house."

April then appeared to take a jab at her former girlfriends.

"Only three people knew I cancelled and I offered to pay for any fees I might have cost them. So whoever sent you, please respect me and don't follow me for their dark dealings," April wrote.

April was seemingly hinting that fans of the other women have been trolling her and sending hate her way.

"This is adult bullying and it is a low, dense energy. This is a poor example of what adult females should act like," April vented.

"I seriously feel like I'm on The Golden Bachelor part two and I'm the new Teresa [SIC] being targeted. Shame on you."

Since Kathy had a big issue with Theresa Nist on The Golden Bachelor, April may be singling out Kathy and only have a problem with her.

When one follower commented that Kathy is "a bully, envious, no filter classless tyrant," April actually replied with a heart emoji.

April also touched upon how the three ladies had blocked her on Instagram.

"I've been very sad when they blocked me, so my social media helper did it back," she wrote in the comments.

"All middle school and beneath what I want to represent to young women. It never had to go this way."

Fans are still waiting to hear Susan, Kathy and Nancy's side of the story.

None of the ladies made Gerry's Final 3 bachelorettes on The Golden Bachelor, which wrapped late last year.


Gerry got engaged to Theresa during the show's finale, dumping Leslie Fhima in second place and Faith Martin in third place.

Gerry and Theresa's engagement aired on The Golden Bachelor finale in late November, and host Jesse Palmer announced on After the Final Rose how the couple would be getting married live on television for all of their fans to watch.

Gerry and Theresa then tied the knot in Palm Springs, CA, for The Golden Wedding special, which aired January 4 on ABC.

Susan served as the officiant of Gerry and Theresa's wedding.
