Caelynn Miller-Keyes was a fan-favorite and front-runner on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t come with her fair share of drama.

She came on the show already knowing another contestant, current Bachelorette Hannah Brown. The two women knew each other back from when they both competed in beauty pageants. They were friends for a while–even lived together for a bit, but had a falling out. Their relationship was a source for a lot of drama during Colton’s season.

But another piece of drama that Caelynn was involved in was the here-for-the-right-reasons drama. It was rumored that Caelynn and eventual winner Cassie Randolph were on The Bachelor for reasons other than ending up with Colton.

Tayshia Adams told Colton about the rumor and Colton confronted Caelynn about what he heard.

“I think what stuck with me the most was comments being made about getting to the end of this but not getting engaged, and then talks about The Bachelorette. It was just very hard to hear, especially after our date in Singapore. I do understand there are two sides to each story and that’s why I do want to talk to you about it,” Colton told Caelynn.  

“That doesn’t make any sense to me. I don’t know. F*** this. I’m like shaking. It like terrifies me to know the way that I’m feeling and the fact that I could lose you over something that’s completely fabricated. The readiness that I feel is in my heart and it’s not something that someone can look at from the outside and just know. The only person who knows if I’m ready for marriage is me and I am. I’m 100% ready. And I hate that The Bachelorette got brought up. That blows my mind. That’s not why I’m here. I can see a future with us and a life with us,” Caelynn replied.

Caelynn’s one regret

Then, in a talking head interview, Caelynn said:

“How the f*** would Tayshia know if I’m ready or not? There’s only so much you can say. When someone legit pulls a lie out of their a**, like where the f*** does that come from? My feelings are so strong and I feel like my future was just ripped away from me because of some immature 28-year-old girl running around the house. I’m the only one that’s falling in love with Colton so f*** her. Dude, I better get a f****** rose because I will call that stupid b**** out.”

In a recent interview with ExtraTV, Caelynn spoke about her one regret on The Bachelor.   

“I have one regret, and that is calling Tayshia–Tayshia’s amazing, wonderful, lovely, love her. I was just very heated in that moment and your emotions are high, tensions are high. I regret the choice of words that I used in that moment,” she said.  

“My best sides got shown on The Bachelor but also my worst sides, and sides I didn’t even know I had in me got shown and it’s just because it’s such a weird environment and that’s why I’ve taken this time since November to work on myself,” she added. “And I’m truly the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life.”
