So, what happened?

Afterward, she voiced her qualms to Theresa directly.

NYLON’s Desert Disco party took place at Stagecoach 2025.

I feel like youre dismissing me like, He and I are going out for the sunset.

Go pack, cause youre going home, Kathy said, describing Theresas behavior as territorial.

JoJo Siwa revealed she identifies as queer, not a lesbian, on ‘Celebrity Big Brother.'

While the disturbance bothered Gerry, both Theresa and Kathy got roses anyway.

He came up to your bedroom?Kathy repeated,shocked.

Theresa, thats the kind of stuff you better keep to yourself.

The exchange quickly became a contender for funniest moment in Bachelor Nation history.
