Bachelorette Katie Apologizes to Becca & Thomas Following IG Shade

Katie Thurston is looking to make things right between herself and fellow former lead of The Bachelorette Becca Kufrin, who unfollowed her on Instagram after shade was thrown at boyfriend Thomas Jacobs. On the heels of the release of Taylor Swift’s Red (Taylor’s Version) album, Katie launched the 12 Days of Messy series on Instagram, which saw her pair men from her season with Taylor tracks. Though Becca didn’t take kindly to Thomas’ match of “I Knew You Were Trouble,” Katie recently revealed that she’s now on better terms with the couple.

Thomas was first introduced to Bachelor Nation as a villain on Katie’s season of The Bachelorette. The other men (mainly Aaron Clancy) felt he was only on the show to be the next The Bachelor lead and Katie listened to their concerns. She sent Thomas home in one of the coldest eliminations ever seen on the show. Katie told him, “Your ‘Bachelor’ audition ends tonight, so get out.” However, Thomas went on to form a deep connection with Becca on the recent season of Bachelor In Paradise. Therefore, when Katie threw shade at Thomas by linking him to “I Knew You Were Trouble” during her 12 Days of Messy, it’s no surprise that Becca didn’t appreciate this and hit that “unfollow” button.

On Thursday night, Katie and new boyfriend John Hersey united for their first Instagram Live, during which they answered a slew of fan-submitted questions, including one about the Becca situation. In response to one viewer who asked if Katie is OK with Becca, Katie responded, “I am, personally. I reached out to them the day that Thomas’ song came out and I learned a new understanding and apologized to both of them and spoke to both of them and heard their side. I learned a lot in Bachelor Nation.”

John happily chimed in that Thomas owes him a trip to the zoo. He also praised Becca as being “awesome.” Echoing John’s sentiment, Katie said, “Honestly, both of them are great. There are things that I could’ve done differently and I acknowledge that and I’ve spoken to those involved. All I can do is move forward and hope that everyone else does as well.” As of this writing, Katie’s 949K followers don’t include Becca or Thomas, but both follow John. As for Katie, she continues to follow Becca but not Thomas.

This wasn’t the only portion of the 12 Days of Messy that received flack. Many felt that Katie’s big reveal of her relationship with John on the final day was inconsiderate toward Blake Moynes, who she was engaged to a mere month before. During the Instagram Live, Katie admitted that at first, she didn’t intend to do something so big involving video clips and the heart-melting track “Begin Again.” Her initial intention was to post a simple photo of herself and John. But throughout those 12 days, their relationship grew exponentially stronger and she wanted the world to know about it, regardless of the hate she knew she’d receive.

While a Katie/John and Becca/Thomas double date might not happen anytime soon, the happiness exuded by both pairings is nice to see. Throughout their Instagram Live, Katie and John’s chemistry was undeniable. They poked fun at each other’s method of putting glasses away (John places them face down and Katie places them up) and were smiling the entire time. Following numerous recent splits, including The Bachelorette Tayshia Adams and her fiancé Zac Clark, it’s possible the relationship of Katie and John will restore the public’s faith in the franchise, even if their journey was an unorthodox one.
