The Bachelorette’s Brooke Blurton posted a statement to Instagram responding to messages she received after revealing that a man spat at her in the street.
On June 19, the youth worker shared a video to her Instagram Story, telling her followers about the incident, which has since been deleted.
Shortly after, she uploaded a statement to address her followers’ concerns.
“For everyone who sent me messages [about] the guy spitting on me, thanks. I’m actually fine. It did trigger me to feel a type of violation…but I’m fine,” she started.
The 28-year-old wrote that people had asked her whether the man had a mental illness.
“Now, this one really triggered me, because who am I to say what his situation is?” she penned, before stating that she “didn’t judge him” for his actions.
“Who am I to say he’s crazy, a ‘psycho’, as some of you referenced. I’m sick of people [assuming] that.
“OF COURSE you don’t just spit at someone on the street. But he might’ve been in a fight or flight response and I might’ve walked into his direction in that response,” she added.
The reality star then confessed that she posted the video as she was “in shock”. However, she said she’d be “more vigilant” about how similar content would be interpreted in the future.

Brooke then admitted that she felt bad that her followers were calling the man who spat at her a “psycho”.
“Even though this person did something sh*tty to me, I hate people saying he’s a psycho and not a good person in my DMs,” she added.
“Coz now I feel like sh*t. He won’t ever see these comments but I do have a [conscience].”
She then said she didn’t want to name-call someone “for the sake of it”.
“My goal is to always lead with respect. Even though he didn’t respect my space, I’m not a person to call someone a ‘psycho’,” she finished.
This statement has since been deleted from her Instagram Story.
