After Bristowe, 39, discussed her and apparent Adams’ fallout on the “U, Up?” podcast, a user took to the “Off the Vine” podcast’s Facebook group to break down the remarks. While replying to a fan comment, Bristowe wrote, “I apologize how it came off. My sense of humor isn’t for everyone.”

Bristowe noted that she “definitely didn’t mean” her remarks. “ is a comedian and sometimes I try to get him to laugh with shock value,” she wrote. “I’m sorry to everyone who took offense to this. I’m feeling really quite terrible about it today.”

While replying to a since-deleted comment, Bristowe wrote, “That’s not how I responded to her. I apologized. I was just trying to make a joke with Jared cuz he’s a comedian and I like trying to make comedians laugh. But understand that’s easy for people to hate on me for.”

When Bristowe and Clark were first spotted together earlier this year, the duo made headlines for their shared connection to Adams, 33.

“I went on a date with somebody from the franchise and I reached out to the girl that he used to be with. [She and I] hadn’t talked in months, and, no, we’re not [friends]. We probably look like friends on the outside, but we’re not,” Bristowe said on Sunday. “Thinking it would be the situation where they’d go, ‘Well, I mean, I don’t love it, but of course I’m not going to say [no].’ It was not. I wasn’t saying, ‘If this is a problem, then I won’t.’ I was just giving a heads-up.”

Bristowe reached out to the woman via text. “I [texted her], ‘Hey, so-and-so DM’ed me and we’ve been chatting. I know you’re really happy in a relationship, so I don’t know if this would bother you or not,’” Bristowe recalled. “She called and was very upset. She said, ‘I always knew you were a bad person and you’ve confirmed it. Your true colors are showing.’ Then, I hung up and [thought,] ‘Now, I just want to send her a picture of me sucking his d–k.’”

I do think if roles were reversed, KB would absolutely not like it at all,” one user wrote on the “Off the Vine” Facebook page, while another replied, “I guess we’ve sort of seen that play out with Kat.”

Bristowe set the record straight. “I like Kat … so I wouldn’t have called her a terrible person and yelled at her,” she commented. “I would have appreciated the heads up.”
