“It Breaks My Heart”: The Bachelor’s Kelsey Anderson Defends Her Behavior In Miami Amid Joey Graziadei’s Milestones & Signs They’ll Return To Reality TV

   

The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson clapped back at critics while attending the Ultra Music Festival in Miami on Sunday, March 30. Kelsey and her fiancé, Joey Graziadei, met during The Bachelor season 28, when she was chosen as the winner at the end of the season. Joey and Kelsey were thrust into the spotlight after getting engaged on the show, and they sometimes have to defend their relationship against those who think they're spending too much time apart. This is coming amid supposed signs that the Bachelor couple wants to return to reality TV in some capacity.

It Breaks My Heart”: The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Defends Her Behavior In Miami  Amid Joey Graziadei's Milestone & Signs They'll Return To Reality TV

The Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson had fun with friends at a music festival, but she felt the need to defend her actions after the fact.

Kelsey took to her Instagram Stories to defend herself against some fans who took issue with how she presented herself and her behavior at the famous electronic music festival. She chose to wear a black bodysuit halter with strategic cutouts showing off her waist. She also wore sheer black flared pants and decorated her look with body chains and silver sunglasses.

Kelsey responded to one comment in particular when a critic said that Joey needs to "get your girlfriend under control." Fans of The Bachelor might be a bit older and more conservative, but Kelsey wrote in her screenshots that she couldn't believe people think it's okay to comment on these things publicly. Her heart was broken reading some of the comments, in particular the one saying that Joey needs to get her under control. Kelsey later added a follow-up Instagram Story to say she also received "so much positivity" on that post, but "some people just need to get with the times."

By the looks of it, Kelsey had an amazing time at Ultra with her friends, including DJ Xandra Pohl. Anyone who's been to a music festival in recent years knows that when it comes to outfits and displaying fun behavior, the more over-the-top, the better. It's not uncommon for attendees to don as little as possible in the spirit of celebration.

This goes double for an electronic music festival--and an electronic music festival in Miami at that. It should also be noted that it was raining on the day in question, so Kelsey's outfit might not have been practical for the weather, but when it comes to festival outfits, it's all or nothing, rain or shine. The way Kelsey behaved was perfectly in line with a rave.

Kelsey doesn't need to defend herself or her behavior to anyone, but she felt it was important to speak out about the criticism she received. By doing so, she's reminding her fans that she's a modern woman and doesn't need her fiancé's permission to get dressed up for a music festival. She wore an appropriate outfit, and she's not apologizing for it.

Kelsey and Joey have had a long-distance relationship for the past few months, as each is busy with work commitments following their time on The Bachelor. Joey's been touring with Dancing With The Stars, and Kelsey's been busy with big-name collaborations. They constantly have to answer to fans who feel intimately involved in their romance, since they watched it unfold on the show. Kelsey and Joey haven't announced wedding plans, which fans have also been critical of. By responding, she's showing them she's not taking their unkind words lying down and she has a right to behave however she wants.
