THE Bachelorette star Katie Thurston said she “won’t change her ways to cater to a man.”
The 30-year-old made the claims after she was slammed for a revealing photo.
On Friday, the TV personality shared a sexy photo of herself posing in black lingerie.
While many people shared their position reactions to the photo in the comments section, others criticized Katie for sharing the snap.
Katie took to her Instagram Story on Saturday to address a fan that slammed her for posting the photo, as the critic claimed may catch the attention of men in relationships.
The Bachelorette star shared a screenshot of a message she received, which showed a troll calling out the TV personality for posting a photo that “may be the reason someone else’s husband is masturbating to this and is affecting their relationship.”
The fan added: “Men have a hard time controlling themselves and some can’t help but seek this out.
“What is something, or many things, like this picture are hurting other relationships and stealing that satisfaction and glorification from the wife.”
KATIE CLAPS BACK
Katie made it clear that she won’t take responsibility for how men react to her photos.
Alongside the screenshot, Katie wrote: “This sounds like a problem within the relationship itself.
“I’m not going to change my ways to cater to a man with a problem.
“This reminds me how girls in schools have to wear longer dresses so that the boys aren’t distracted.”
She concluded: “No. Just no.
“If a picture of another woman is hurting the relationship, the root cause is deeper than my picture.”
Katie continued to prove that she won’t stop posting sexy snaps by sharing a video and photo of herself stunning in a tiny blue bikini on her Instagram Story.
Alongside a video of herself wearing the swimsuit and folding a deflated raft, she wrote: “Please avoid the river today for those struggling to control themselves.”
SEX-POSITIVE STAR
Her decision to stand up against the troll likely won’t surprise fans, as she’s been open about her sexuality during her run on The Bachelor and starring role on The Bachelorette.
Katie made a wild entrance when she arrived to Matt James‘ season of The Bachelor carrying a large pink sex toy and went viral for a TikTok boasting of desires to have “sex with a ghost.”
She also proudly wears shirts with messages that include “no fake orgasms” and has not shied away from the topic.
The 30-year-old has been praised for being so open about her sex life, which likely led to her being cast as the show’s lead following her elimination on The Bachelor.
