The Former 'Bachelorette' Is Too Busy Moving Forward To Think About Her Bachelor Nation Past!

Thurston, 31, has had quite a busy year and is working to move forward! After splitting up with former fiance Blake Moynes last year and calling it quits with John Hersey, Thurston is over dwelling on the past!

Another Bachelor Nation alumni, who was extremely crucial to Thurston's season of "The Bachelorette", has been making a lot of headlines lately, and she is absolutely not interested in spending a second of her energy on this fella's personal life.

Greg Grippo, who came incredibly close to winning Thurston's heart before her engagement to Blake Moynes, confirmed rumors he and "Bachelor In Paradise" star Victoria Fuller were indeed dating during the "After The Final Rose" special.

The duo was seen getting close in a TikTok posted by former 'Bachelor' Nick Viall shortly before the conclusion of 'BiP's season. Viewers would soon find out Fuller had been engaged to Johnny DePhillipo on the beach.

However, Thurston couldn't be bothered to dedicate any brain space to Bachelor Nation's latest scandal!

A Bachelor Nation Reddit user shared a screenshot to the subreddit for "The Bachelor" after the news broke, of a question a fan had sent Thurston via her Instagram story.

The question read, "Thoughts on GG + VF?"

Thurston then shared a screenshot of a text message as her response. Her response to an anonymous friend's question about her opinion of Grippo's new romance, she responded, "Lol literally could care less. Now Nick on the other hand posting the video of them is a weird cringey move," Thurston said.

Thurston's relationship (or lack thereof) with Viall could be described as thorny! She expressed her distaste for the "Viall Files" host earlier this summer. According to an Us Weekly article published at the time, Thurston revealed Viall's phone number was blocked.

"[Viall's girlfriend Natalie Joy] decides-and Nick doesn't stop her- to read a text that I had sent Nick, which was about my feelings [for] Greg [Grippo] back during like, when my season was airing. And he reads it or allows her to read it on a podcast- a private text sent to Nick as if someway to like, I don't know, destroy me? Who knows?..."

Thurston would go on to attribute Viall's decision to allow Joy to publicly read the text message in question as the reason why she blocked him.

Forget About Hot Gossip! Thurston Isn't Game For Social Media's Latest Trend For This Reason

Bachelor Nation may have had plenty of hot gossip making headlines lately, but Thurston would rather concentrate on another aspect of hotness; she isn't very fond of social media's current fascination with AI art!

In her TikTok, Thurston explained her irritation over the trend.

"So I refuse to do that AI, picture, cartoon thing," she says, "Everyone's I've seen is hotter than them. That's why they like it. It's them, but hotter. And I don't need that in my life. I don't need to see a hotter version of me. I'm trying to just love myself, okay?"

Thurston's fans were incredibly supportive in the TikTok's comment section!

"I feel like you may break the AI, it can't do any better," one fan consulted Thurston.

Another follower praised the 'old school' feeling of the TikTok. "This feels like old school Katie tiktok. All we need now is a wine glass in your hand," they wrote.

Thurston was here for this fan's comment! She responded, "Slowly she's coming back! But I agree," along with a surprised emoji!

There's little doubt that Thurston's fanbase would have zero complaints about the 'Bachelorette' babe finding her way back to her social media roots!
