Everything between Bachelor Nation’s Trista Sutter and Courtney Robertson doesn’t appear to be rosy.
“I’ve met a lot of people from Bachelor Nation and when I came off my season and I went to that Bachelor Mansion event in Malibu — they were just about to announce Sean Lowe [as Bachelor] — so many people reached out to support me. You didn’t give me the f***ing time of day,” Courtney, 43, alleged to Trista, 53, during the Monday, August 10, episode of iHeartRadio’s “Almost Famous” podcast. “Chris Harrison was there, and you treated me like scum.”
Visibly shocked by her podcast guest’s experience, Trista denied treating The Bachelor alum like “scum.”
While she acknowledged past social media posts and podcast appearances rubbed her the wrong way, Trista recalled an email she sent Courtney as she was preparing to release her 2014 book, Confessions of a Reality Show Villain.
“I sent you an email when I heard about your book, and I heard about ‘Trista’s terrible tweets,’ and I heard about the podcast,” Trista shared. “‘Olive branch’ was the subject line, and I said, ‘I’m truly so sorry that I hurt your feelings.’ Your email back to me was, ‘I fully accept your apology.’”
Courtney seemingly pulled up past emails and read out her response to Trista that stated, “I don’t want you to ever feel like I was attacking you. … Your apology means a lot to me and is fully accepted.”
As for how any and all past drama is coming up now, Trista and Courtney found themselves on a weekend trip to Lake Tahoe with iHeartRadio earlier this month.
When the getaway first began, Trista claimed Courtney wanted “space” as she continues to navigate a public divorce with Humberto Preciado.
“This was not my idea, by the way, so don’t hold that against me,” Trista shared. “I just wanted you to have fun here. … I’m shaking inside. I’m about to have a panic attack.”
Courtney replied, “I just have a lot of s*** going on right now and this isn’t comfortable for me. I’ve been having panic attacks all day because of what I’m going through, personally. I probably should have skipped the trip. This feels a little greedy to try to get us to sit here and hash it out.”
An “Almost Famous” podcast producer named Heather, however, chimed in and said the goal of the taping “was resolution” and not conflict.
The Bachelor alum Courtney Robertson is opening up about her ongoing divorce from estranged husband Humberto Preciado. “What I’m going through is with infidelity and different parenting styles, and I would say it’s early days,” Robertson, 43, claimed on the Saturday, August 8, episode of iHeartRadio’s “I Do, Part 2” podcast. “I’ve been thinking about […]
As the podcast came to a dramatic end, Trista offered empathy and sympathy to Courtney as she navigates a public divorce.
“I am very maternal towards anyone who has been on this show and is part of this Bachelor Nation family,” she said. “I can love everyone. We don’t have to like each other. You don’t have to like me.”
Courtney replied, “For whatever reason, you and I clash, and I think it’s because we’ve had two totally different experiences. I am that girl who is a fighter, and I don’t want to seem like I’m hostile. I’m over it. I just think we’re two very different personality types.”
